Care Killed a CAT.

There Is great deal of truth In this
old saw and its warning should be heed
ed by every one, and especially those
who feel the cares of business Weighing
them down. A relief from all worries
can be obtained, and business and
pleasure be combined, by a trip on the
Great Lakes via the Northwest or
Northland. the palace steamers opera
ted by the Great Northern system.
They leave Duluth Mondays and Fri
days, their eastern terminal being Buff
falo, and stop en- route at Sault Ste
Marie, Mackinao island, Detroit and
Cleveland. There is no finer trip in Am
erica than is afforded by these splendid
boats.
