sea Of sexual weakness until it was a
question whether he had not better

his troubles. But prOVidential inspira-

combination Of medicines that not only
completely restored the general health

Thick, strong eyebrows generally be-

Although the fish story season Is practically

prowess three able-bodied men were placed
hors de combat one Of the number having
three ribs broken. The incident occurred at
the Nebraska state fair, held in Omaha
recently. One Of the attractions was a
monster CATFISH weighing 10 pounds by its
own scales. 1t caught in the Missouri

1t kept 1t alive in tank lest the glamour
of doubt should be cast over the tale Of
his big catch. That is, he kept 1t in a tank
as long as the fish wanted to stay there. At
frequent intervals the catfish smashed the
tank into kindling wood and It's owner was
kept poor and busy buying tanks. Therefore
the fisherman was glad to get rid Of his
catch when the chance offered Of selling it
to the state fair. That is how the big fish

as the report states, the new device did
not give way in any part nor develop any per-

rather heavily in the trough Of the sea there
was slight play in the device obseryant the
whole movement not exceeding quarter Of an
inch and was confined almost entirely to
the forward thirteen-inch turret This Slight
movement Of the turrets was readily checked
by setting up the bolts. There was a heavy
swell running and Capt Taylor informed
Admiral Bruce by signal that he feared con-
tinuous rolling might carry away the locking
device. After some messages had passed
between them the Indiana was directed TO re-
turn to the roads. She had no trouble on
the way back. So far as the report shows
