Piscataquis Observer. The ice being trans
parent, they caught sight Of pickerel under
the surface, swimming about. Procuring an
axe they began operations by striking the
ice above the fish, thus stunning them, and
then taking them out. This process was con-
tinued until So handsome pickerel were Sc
cured and carried away as trophies OF their
wisdom In physics rather than skill as
anglers.

A LOVELY WOMAN

overheard one say Of her, "By Heaven,
she's painted I" YES" retorted she in.
dignantly. land by heaven oniy!" Ruddy
health mantled her cheek, yet this beautiful
lady, once thin and pale, ami suffering from
q dry, hacking cough, night-swe.ts, and
splitting Of blood, seemed destined to fill
a c~onsumptiveis grave. After spending
hundreds Of dollars on physicians, without
benefit, she tried DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-
cal Discovery; her Improvement was soon
marked, and in a few months she was
plump and rosy again,-a perfect picture
of health and strength.
This wonderful "Golden Medical Dis
covery," now world-famed as a remedy for
consumption, which is really mi scrofula,
Is not only al acknowledged remedy for
that terribly fatal malady, when taken in
time and given a fair trial, but also for all
forms Of Scrofulous, Skin and Scalp diseases,
a. White S~wellings, Fever-sores, Hip joint
Disease, Salt-rheum, letter, Eczema, Boils,

The Talking Bore.

II he would talk anything save him
self and his own affairs, the ~garrulous
bore might not be 70 Objectionable; but
the steady flow of tiresome sound all
comes from one source-egotism. en-
happily, the living photograph cannot
be turned off by crank or pin. His un-
happy victim can only listen in mute
despair. If our modern wizard, Edison,
would but invent some attachment
whereby q bore could be stopped short
ct every ten words. manhood would rise
up and bless him. And here let
me add q caution to those lo~quacious
persona who weary others, but
possibly without actual guilty inten-
tons. When the helpless listener be-
ONE silent. and makes no effort to
stem the Niagara of your talk with the
frail shallop Of his own little chirp, he
is, ten to one, a prey to silent despair,
and not, as you fondly imagine, over
come with auditory delight. As he
grows more and more quiet he is, sooM
to say. nearer and nearer the land OF
slumber, to which, alas! poiiteness for
bids him 70 fly. This is the precise
moment when. if you are mercifnl, you
will allow him to escape in peace.
