A CRAFTY SEAL.

Stole from Fisherman, but Was Caught
Mapping.
Andy Fitzgerald, a fisherman of this
vicinity, says the Del Mar correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Enquirer, had a
unique experience and made some easy
money while fishing off the banks
about five miles from this place one
banks and was fishing for sanddabs
with a+hand line, when he noticed a
large seal lowering about the spot
where his line lay. BY and by he
pulled up with a sanddab IN his hook
and began to haul in the line, but be-
fore he could land the fish the seal had
grabbed 1t and eaten it. Two or three
times the seal thus forestalled him, and
then Fitzgerald put out a line on the
other side of the boat, leaving the other
line out for the entertainment of the
-sSsk " hhffs the amman WIS wTtuhdng
that line Fitzgerald tool in about a
dozen fish with the other, and was con-
graduating himself upon outwitting
the animal, when he heard a noise be-
hind him, and, turning, beheld the seal
in the boat In the act of %devouring tie
fish he had so recently caught.
When the seal had finished his meal
he crawled up the little deck over an
apartment in the PROV Of the boat,
and. stretching himself at full length
in the sun, proceeded to take a nap.
When he had become oblivious of his
surroundings Fitzgerald crept forward
with a rope in which he had prepared a
slipping moose, and, sliding it oyer the
seal until it was back of the fippers, he
drew 1t taut, and then with a sudden
lurch pulled the surprised prisoner to
the open hatch and rolled him in AID
shut down the hatch.
Upon his return to this port he dis
posed of his prisoner to a Georgia visi-
tor for 500, to be taken to that South
ern State and there placed in a little
lake on the purchasers estate.

A GREAT many remedies to Temporal
N rily relieve catarrh have been devised
from time to time, such as sprays, snutfs,
creams and other local applications, but, as
a rule, the medical profession has little or
no enthusiasm in the treatment OF catarrh.
1t is generally pronounced by them to
be incurable.
1t therefore created a great sensation in
medical circles when DIR. Hartman an
nounced that he had devised a compound
which would cure catarrh permanently:
The remedy was named Peruna, and IN
a short time became known to thousands
of catarrh sufferers north, south, east and
west.
Letters testifying to the fact that Pc
runa is a radical cure for catarrh began to
pour IN from all directions.
Thousands of such letters are o.
