Stanley is about Sc years of age, and
since his election to Parliament has be-
come a political power in merry Eng
land. He is the Unionist member for
North Lambreth, and is considered the
brightest orator the Queen has. He was
born in Wales, came to America when
mere boy, and worked himself up from
a newsboy to journalist. In 1875 he
was sent to the dark continent by an
American paper and ten years later was
the greatest explorer and discoverer of
the age. Another ten years and he be-
came a powerful orator and politician.

ANGLING FOR BASS

ANGLlNG FOR BASS.
The striped bass are very plentiful in
the bays and the Sacramento River
and it seems some anglers have been
able to take them with hook and line
The Breeder and Sportsman" says:
Anglers who have yearned for AN op-
portunity to catch striped bass with
hook and line cam now look forward to
some good sport On Sunday two fish
ermen, John Wilson and Edward Mo-
gan, were bait-fishing in San Pablo
Slough for catfish, when Wilson hooked
a bass which he judged was five or six
pounds in weight. Not being properly
rigged for game fishes, Mr.. Bass made
short work of his tackle. He then at
tached larger hooks ito his line, and sue
ceeded in hooking and landing a three
pound bass. The angler states that he
had seen several bass jumping, and they
appeared to be chasing some small
fishes which are quite plentiful in the
slough. Wilson thinks that with the
proper paraphernalia good sport can be
had near the mouth of the slough
where the water is Deep

GOD GAVE Us Two KIDNEYS
Instead of one.

Instead of one.
Tt was for a purpose.
The Kidneys are very important or

health. They are the scavengers and
sewers of the body. To their lot falls
the duty of constantly filtering all pois-
ons and impurities out Of our blood by
way of the urine.
They work every minute, every Sec

They work while we sleep.
