We Got the Fish.

1t was our pleasure to spend d very
pleasant half day in the country last
Tuesday. In company with Rev. l.,
M. Rice we drove out to the home Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Simpson Harvey, near
Harris bridge, where Mr.. Rice had
an invitation to come and bring a
friend to enjoy fish dinner, and we
arc glad to have been the friend
|chosen for this excellent treat. We
lost our way and drove about two
miles along the wrong road until the
road began to curve back toward
Union, and Mr.. Rice began to see
that sh Ash diRRRssss RRssss gettuiREy gettuiRy pat farm
house and we had to go back to the
fork and try it again. We got there,
however, in good time, and spent an
hour or more in pleasant converse
tion with this happy family before
dinner time. The boys had been on
the river the night before and had a
fine catch of fish ready for US. They
say that there are more fish in the
stream than has been known in sew
eral years, fine carp and cat fish are
plentiful, and it is nothing unusual
to catch them weighing nine pounds.
They say they have eaten fish until
they are tired Of them. This home
is situated on high level plateau,
and beautiful stretch Of country Y
opens out in front Of the house. If
there is any air stirring there is moth
ing to prevent this family getting the
benefit Of it. We imagine it is de-
lightful place to live in summer
This seems to be happy home and
how could it be otherwise. The
father and mother have around them
a family of the most healthy, we'll
developed and robust children we
have seen anywhere, every one Of
them grown, and seemingly as happy
as the days are long, and the smile
OF Joy and contentment to be seen on
the mothers face is sufficient evil
dence that she wishes for no greater
happiness than to be surrounded by
these happy grown-up children. In
conversation she told us that she
tried to make her home attractive for
her boys, and judging from appear

NEW CURE FOR H.CCOuGHs
Ice used EnectiyeIy. In Two Recent
Cases.

4 new remedy for persistent hic-
coughing has been tried with success
by the surgeons of the Pennsylvania
hospital says the Philadelphia North
American. 1t involves the application
of small pieces of ice to various parts
of the body. Two permanent cures
have recently been effected by this
means.
Thomas Allen of Philadelphia was
exhausted from constant hiccoughing
when he was taken to the hospital the
other night The doctors tried ether
and various other remedies without
success. AS last resort they placed
piece Of ice on Aliens abdomen when
he did not expect it. The man was so
frightened that he stopped hiccough-
ing al once. He left the hospital soon
afterward.
Mildred Seibert. also of Philadelphia.
was cured in the same way a few
weeks ago. 1t is. In plain words. the
old old cure of soaring the hiccough
away" But the method Is novel.

the candidate was blindfolded, ushered

ordeals, including that of being tossed

sides by athletic members, and, having

in fair preservation, was declared duly

crowded about him to extend their con-
gratulations on the fortitude he had dis
played.

of them.

Chile recently submitted the astound
ing proposition to four South American
governments that Bolivia be partioned
among them. This proposition was
promptly rejected by Peru. and the
Lima government, as a further sign OF
its displeasure, requested the Chilean
government TO recall its minister, Gus.
todio Vicuna. Bolivia Is weak ma
ton and could not singly resist an at
tack by the troops Of any one Of the
nations named. with the possible ex-
ception of Paraguay. much less the
united force of several governments.
The proposition to partition Bolivia is
not the first move Chile has made to
estrange Peru and Bolivia. During the
war with Chile an envoy was sent to
the Bolivian camp for the purpose of
Inducing President Laza to abandon
his Peruvian ally, but the attempt was
unsuccessful.
