SOCIAL SALAD

PLEASANTLY REPORTED FOR
SUNDAY’S CALL.
A LETTER.
Dear, I tried to write you such a letter
As would tell you all my heart today.
Written Love is poor; one word were bet
ter !
Easier, too, a thousand times to say.
I can tell you all; fears, doubts unheed
ing.
While I can be near you, hold your
hand,
Looking right into your eyes and reading
Reassurance that you understand.
Yet I wrote it through, then lingered,
thinking
Os its reaching you—what honor, what
day,
Till I felt my heart and courage sinking
With a strange, new, wondering dis
may.
“Will my letter fall,” I wondered, sadly,
“On her mood like some discordant
tone,
Or be welcomed tenderly and gladly ?
Will she be with others, or alone ?
It may find her too absorbed to read it,
Save with hurried glance and careless
air; •
Sad and weary, she may scarcely heed it; i
Gay and happy, she may hardly care.
If perhaps now, while my tears are fall- 1
ing, 1
She is dreaming quietly alone, I
She will hear my love’s lar echo calling, I
Feel my spirit drawing near her own.
Wondering at the strange, mysterious 1
power i
That has touched her heart, then she I
will say:
“Some one whom 1 love this very hour
Thinks of me, and loves me far away.’’

Deafness Cannot be Cared
By local application, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There is
only one way to cure deafness, and that is
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition ot the
mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube.
When this tube gets inflamed you have a
rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness is the
result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its
normal condition, hearing will be destroy
ed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused
by catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh)
that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.

Manila Cigars-
C gar dealers who have large surpkg
stocks of Cuban and other tobaccos co
hand are keeping an eye on Manila as
a source of the American tobacco eup
ply iu the near future Manila cigars
are cheap; the best of them can be
bought at the native stand for 5 cents
each, and a very good emote can be
had at the price of thedispiaed two for.
The old cone-shaped Manila cigar, or
cheroot which was supposed the best
smoking when lit at the thin end, is
rapidly going out of fashion and mod
ern shapes are taking its place. The 1
Americans in Manila are taking kind
ly to the tobacco in the form of both
cigars and cigarettes, and it is predict
ed that as soon as the Manila cigars
are introduced in the states they will
become the rage. It is quite likely
that steps may be taken to prevent the
exportation of the bud qualities of to*
baccs which in times past have given
a bad reputation in this country to
the Manila product. There are eight
large cigar and cigarette factories in
Manila, which employ 400 to 2,000
operatives each. Beyond these houses,
which confine themselves mainly to
the higher grades of the market, there
are nearly 100 smaller factories—St.

A few years ago the coming of a
good musical company to our city was
a great event and always filled the
house with a fine audience. Os
late musical entertainments
have not been so freely pat-
ronized here. Why? Simply because
the usual programs were tco classical
and cold for the average auditor. In

musical entertainment that is highly

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy It is
far in advance of all othei’ laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company

PARSNIP COMPLEXION.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the dark,
puffy circles under the eyes, the sallow,
parsnip-colored complexion indicates it.
A physician would ask if you had rheu
matism, a dull pain or ache in the back or
over the hips, stomach trouble, desire to
urinate often, or a burning or scalding in
passing it; if after passing there is an un
satisfied feeling as if it must be at once re
peated, or if the urine has a brick dost de
posit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of the
bladder, inflammation, causing stoppage,
and sometimes requiring the drawing of
the urine with instruments, or may run
into Bright’s Disease, the most dangerous
stage ot kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and blad
der specialist, is a positive remedy for
such diseases. Its reputation is world
wide and it is so easy to get at any drug
store that no one nt»d suffer any length
of time for want of it.

wonderful merits, mention The Middle
