Boston Woman, singIehanded, Conquers
"A Fish Weighing 40 Pounds.

ANON fishermen in the neighborhood
of Pasadena, Cal, Mrs. Walter Ray
mond of Boston is freely accorded the
championship of her sex, the result of
an extraordinary piscatorial feat re-
Gently performed. Mr.. and Mrs. Ray
mond have been making an extended
sotourn on the Pacific coast, and each
had gained with the line and
hook, but all previous performances of
this character were put in eclipse by
the feat under notice. They had ac-
companied a fishing party from Pasa-
dena to Santa Catalina and while al
Turing the famous tuna of those waters
to their hooks Mrs. Raymond was seen
to give a sudden lurch forward and
eagerly take a firmer grip upon her
line. Her husband sprang to her assist
ance. but she waved him off, saying,
This fight is mine" The line straight
ened out, the bow of the boat suddenly
swung around, and the little craft start
ed at a sizzling pace down the harbor,
but Mrs. Raymond hung on with all
her might. Gradually the speed slack
ened and she began to haul in. When
the fish was finally brought alongside il
was found to be "A mammoth tuna, and
when placed upon the scales showed a
weight Of 10 pounds. This is the first
time in the history of Santa Catalina
hat a fish of this size was ever landed
by a lady. and it necessarily followed
that thereafter Mrs. Raymond was
looked upon as a veritable heroine.

in the bank of health means one of two
things, life of hopeless suffering or an
early death.

You will perhaps remember my writ
ing you from Freeport, H., in June,
July and August, 1895, in reference to
my wife's health. who has been suf-
fering from a complication of diseases
for the past twenty-five years. Her
case had baffied the skill of some of
the most noted physicians, One Of her
worst troubles was chronic constipa-
tion of several years standing, She
also suffered with general debility and
paroXysms- as often as six
or eight times a day. At this time she
was passing through that most crlti-
cal of periods in the life of woman
change of life. Late in June. 1895, /
wrote to you about her case. You ad-
vised a course of Pe-ru-na and Man
a-lin, which we at once commenced
and have to say II completely cured
her. She firmly believes that she
would have been dead only for these
wonderful remedies. .." 80
