BoSToN'S LONE FISHERwoMAN
She Fishes Day After Day, Not for
Pleasure, Hut for Fish, ana
She Gets Them.

Boston has lone fisherwomsn. The
many hundreds Of passengers on the
ferries for some time have seen her sit
ting, man fashion, on the end OF an East
Boston wharf holding fishing line ex-
pectantly i'm her hand and with her eyes
fixed on the water directly beneath
her. She scarcely ever looks up and
seems Indifferent to the stares of the
people on the passing boats.
She enjoys the distinction OF being
the only woman among the many fish
ermen who fringe the edges Of Boston's
wharves from sunrise until sunset. She
comes TO the wharf almost daily at an
early hour with n small basket. She
does not go home TO dinner, but eats n
light luncheon which she brings with
her. Fishing is by no means simply n
pleasure with her. To reporter she
said her fishing partly supported her
self and her two little children.
III am not ashamed of my occupa-
ton" she went on TO say. "All kinds OF
weather finds me on the wharf. In the
morning / take care OF the house and
send the children 10 school, and then
come down on the wharf and fish.
never suffer any annoyance. The men
who cast their lines from the wharf
treat me with the greatest respect.
GLOW much do l get for my fish ?
Well, that depends. Sometimes / get
as high as three cents apiece for good
sized founders. My neighbors are my
| best customers"
The conversation was interrupted by
slight shivering OF the line. a quick
jerk, n series OF hand-over-hand mo-
tions and presently a big founder was
thrown upon the wharf. With much
skill the fisherwoman pulled the hook
from the gills OF the founder and threw
the fish into the partly filed basket.
Business is pretty good to-day" she
said. with n smile. Everything. you
know, depends upon luck in this bust
ness. / have sat here some days for
hours without getting as much ms n
nibble, while those sitting beside me
pulled in plenty Of fish.
"Wet weather does not brighten me In
the least. In fact, enjoy II, for the
fish bite better.
81 would advise very poor persons 10
take 90 fishing. With bent hook and
two cents worth OF line one can get
enough fish for food. Boston harbor Is
filed with several kinds OF fish, and
they are good eating. Fish bite at all
hours. so one need not be afraid OF the
store closing. Nobody owns the ocean.

They pass me by. these friends OF mine;
4 plod aiong my humble way
i see their lifted faces shine
with high ambitions lofty ray.
They mount with purpose fair and strong
To heights that fail my dazzled sight.
To place OF power, to peaks OF song.
To upper realms OF heavenly light
They pass me by.
They pass me by with kindly word.
with hands outheld to help me climb,
The pulses of my life are stirred
with Aspirations song sublime.
They cheer me on with friendly smile,
And their examples shining star,
Aud yet between US all the while
The mists OF purple distance are
They pass me by!
They pass me by they pass me byl
Thank God that some may reach the
crest!
And while they rise TO glory,
Build In the vale my humble nest.
God knows no thought OF envy stirs
The heart that cannot with them rise,
And yet-and yet-my heart demurs
And ceaselessly In yearning cries:
They pass me by!'
But some day. when the angel Death
Unlocks the prison house for me.

And as / soar on eager wing
To taste the joys for which pray.

Mr. Isaac Brock, of McLennan county.
Tex, has attained the great age of Ill years,
having been born in 1883. He is an ardent
friend to Peruna and speaks of 1t in the fol-
lowing terms:
During my long life have known great
many remedies for coughs, colds. catarrh
and diarrhoea. had always supposed these
affections 10 be different diseases, but l
have learned from DIR. liartman's books that
these affections are the same andare proper
~ called catarrh.
"As for DIR. lIartman's remedy, Peruna,
/ have found il to be the best, if not the only
reliable remedy for these affections.
"Perunn has been my standby for
many years, and attribute my good
health md my extreme age To this
remedy. II exactly meets all my re-
uuirements.
81 have come to rely upon ii almost en-.
tirely for the many little things for which
need medicine. / believe it TO be especially
valuable to old people"

him quite equal 10 the occasion, but
nevertheless IL was awkward, and he
swore softly under his breath as he
carried Maud's limp form into the little
station house.
The station master brought him
mug with some whisky in ii, and he
succeeded in bringing Maud back to
consciousness. She sat up crying and
looking wildly about her. Finding her
dress loosened at her throat she
clutched wildly at her Jewels, and find
ing all safe she looked in the faces
of the doctor and the station master.
'Who are you?" she cried. "You are
not the ones who carried me off,"
Then she called for Tom repeatedly,
and sobbed out that IL she had taken
Teresa's advice she would never have
come TO this.
The doctor tried TO reassure her, but
she would not be comforted. So he
sent the station master TO find some one
who was willing TO drive them 10 Toms
camp.
The doctor was far from comfortable.
No doubt this girl knew the Hollands,
but she might be crazy, nevertheless.
Her actions were suspicious enough.
Perhaps Tom Holland would not thank
him for bringing this girl to the camp.
Two hours later the question was
settled for him. They overlook Tom
driving in and surprised him greatly.
He had never received the doctors let
ter saying he was coming, ard of course
Maud's advent was a surprise.
Explanations passed on both sides,
and Maud's shaken nerves began to
quiet down. Mrs. Burridge put her to
bed as soon as they reached the camp,
and the doctor sent up dose of bro
mide.
Two days later Miss Teresa Holland
arrived. Her mothers advice had been:
go up to camp and look after Maud
yourself" Teresa found Maud very
well taken care of when she arrived
She was swinging in Toms hammock
while DR.. Aldrich read aloud.
The girls stayed two weeks and
brought new and happy change into
camp, Teresa finding plenty to admire
in old trees and rocks, developed into a
very pleasant companion, and she could
out-tramp any OF them.
Maud was a good deal changed by her
unhappy experience. She started quick
ly IL any unexpected sound was heard,
and she never went out of sight Of some
OF the campers. This being her condi-
ton, DIR. Aldrich found il necessary to
look after her very carefully.
One night, near the end of their stay,
Maud and the doctor were stroling on
! the shore not far from the cabin, and
both were strangely silent. Finally
Maud spoke in low and intense voice:
"Supposing, doctor, you hat,nt been
there? Tom would never hive heard
me. He wasn't watching the train at
ALL"
1t was the first time he had let her
talk of her fright, for it agitated her.
~ was thinking o. another supposi-
ton" he said. "Supposing you should
go back to Chicago, as you have planned
TO do, next month, what a blank you
would leave behind you! Then, again,
suppose You should let me join you
therein the fall, and suppose you should
come back with me and let me take
care Of you always. love you, Maud, :"
he finished, simply.
"Well," she answered Surprising l
