A Connecticut sportsman relates
in Forest and Stream AN adventure
which must have been exciting
enough to save his day from mo-
notony:
/ was hauling my boat across
Eley's meadow to the creek, hard
pull, with decoys, gun and ammuni-
ton. I was about half way across
and had sat down to rest, when I
noticed that one of large herd of
cattle was coming my way. / looked
again. It was big bull, and evil
IDENTIFY meant business
I knew he would overtake me if 1
ran, so | turned over my boat and
crawled under it. The bull seemed
surprised that I had disappeared,
and after shifting around awhile
went off. 1 waited until he was
nearly up with the cattle and then
started again, but the old fellow was
no fool, He had his eye on me, and
/ had hardly started before he came
back on the run.
To do my best l couldn't make
the creek, so under the boat l went
again. This time the bull was mad.
He beloved and paved and tore up
the sod around the boat with his
horns, but | held the boat down.
Finally, when I was getting tired,
he got tired himself and went so far
away that this time I made the creek
and launched my boat.

A LADIES' WATCH.

Never till now have we been able to get q
ladies' watch that was at the same time satis-
factory and reasonable in price. 1t was
necessary either to be a Swiss watch which
We could not guarantee, or go into high
figures. In this respect the American manu-
facturers have been far behind what they ac-
complished in mems watches years ago. 1t
must be remembered that the smaller the
watch the more expert labor must be put
upon it, and hence the higher the price
We have at last now secured an American
watch, ladies' size, that we can guarantee to
be perfect timekeeper. 1t is open-faced,
with case made of a composition of the
purest white metals, so it will wear like coin
silver and is the same clear through. 1t is
a stem-winder and stem-setter, with hair
spring, tempered in form, and jewelled
pinions.
1t is a beauty, and an honest watch that
we have no hesitation in recommending in
the strongest manner.
1t will be sent, postpaid, to any address for

No American woman has more readers
than Marion HaTland and her latest book IS
her greatest. She travelled on the back of a
camel or on foot or on horseback throughout
the Holy Land and Syria. She followed the
very footsteps of Jesus, and from Bethlehem
through Galilee, to jerusalem and the Jordan
and the lake where he first bade his Disci-
pies to follow him. She went down into
Egypt, to Damascus, and other famous places
renowned in sacred story. She saw the field
of Boaz, the plains of Sharon. Lebanon,
Carmel, and the Mount of Olives, where the
tragedy of the Cross was enacted.
All these places she has described in a
splendid volume of 446 pages, richly bound
and illustrated with the finest halftone pic
lures made from photographs taken especially
for this work. 1t is life picture of the
scenes of the sacred writings.
We will send this magnificent book post

WHY WOMEN LOOK OLD.
Some Women Look Fresh and
Young at Fifty.
Others Appear Old and Dragged
Out at Twenty-Five.
Did it Ever Strike You That There Must
Be Reason for This2

How old look," is what women saw
to their mirror.
The passing years are not what make
the average woman grow old in looks, but
the condition of nerve weakness, poor
blood and low vitality. Some women of
fifty preserve the youthful appearance of
twenty-five. The average woman of to-
day, however, appears old at thirty, with
dull, hoilow-ringed eyes, thin, pinchcd
pale checks, sallow complexion, dark or
bloodless lips, the face lined, and the ex-
preston the opposite of vivacious.
With good digestion, strong nerves and
good blood any woman can keep herself
young, fresh and youthful appearing, and
she can attain this much desired condition
by using that greatest nerve and blood in
vigorator known to modern science, DIR.
oreenes Nervura. 1t is positively aston
ishing what this remarkable remedy will
do for women. 1t is almost Fountain
of Youth, for it renews and maintains
youth BY creating perfect and complete
health Just sec what its use did for Mrs.
