TOO MANY p1cKEREI.
ern Minnesota Than the
~ Fishers want.

In many parts Of the country the
pickerel is regarded as valuable ash.
In the netghborhood Of the Woman's
Lake chain in northern Minnesota.
however, it Is disliked by residents and
visitors alike says atreport from that
section.
The trouble with it IL that the vis-
itors are all fishing for muskallonge
and the pickerel is too plentiful. It
bothers them by getting ON their
hooks and fighting hard only to show
up as q pickerel at the end OF the fray.
There is~no known reason for. the
enormous numbers OF pickerel In the
Woman's Lake chain. 1t would seem
that the lakes got stock Of them
from the Mississippi many years ago
and they found the conditions favor
able and have multiplied tremen-
dOusly.
Sometimes an angler who would -
soon catch pickerel as muskaltonge
II 1t fights as hard, keeps score Of
his take In q day, and some Of thess
scores seem dncredible A mar may
catch five pickerel in q day without
exciting establishment, he may even
take ten. II he should take is he
would be regarded q = remarkable
angler. When 1t comes to txking from
20 to 80 pickerel, big and little. IN ;
day while fishing hard for something
else, all preconceived notions OF pick
eref angling go by the board, yet that
score has been equaled and beaten
more times than, once in the Woman's
Lake waters.
Indeed, those waters are not excep-
tional. Pickerel are wonderfully
plentiful In all of the chains OF north
ern Minnesota. Just what scientific
pickerel angler could do with approved
pickerel bait, skittering in the weeds
morning and evening, and hshing deep
during the heat of an August day, re-
mains to be seen. It has never been
tried, but probably he would be get
ting on and taking OF pickerel most
Of the time.

RELIEF FOR STORE WORKERS
Large Department Concern In Chi.
eago Gives Them Respite
Every Two Hours.

do you know that In every we'll
managed department store there are
dozens of employees who have to be re-
lieved about once In two hours? That
brief respite of 20 minutes. or even less,
is all that stands between them and
nervous prostration - or something
worse. There is nothing that will af-
feet the mind as soon as deadly mo-
notony. There Is such an employe
now"
The superintendent OF the store point
ed to colored man who was stationed
at the head of the escalator. says the
Chicago Inter Ocean. ,s,s.g..g
10 you see how nervously he PAGES
the little strip between the moving
stairway and the next counter! Those
are his boundary lines, and he has ab-
solutely nothing to do but watch that
shoppers coming up those stairs do not
trip. turn dizzy and meet with some ac-
management. The stairs are perfectly
safe, but they affect some people unac-
quainted with them badly. Y
''Now, If the man were selling goods.
or taking care Of stock, or cleaning and
busting, the limit placed on his move
ments would not get on his nerves. You
probably think that the ever-changing
tide of shoppers would afford him some
entertainment, but in time all shoppers
look alike to him. When he is relieved,
the employee who comes to his rescue
will stand quietly enough, because he
has been on duty at another post for
the past 20 minutes, and does not have
time at any one place to become nervous
from the monotony. But almost invar-
iably the employee who has been on duty
for two hours or more begins to pace
the floor just before the relief arrives,
for all the world like q lion or tiger at
the ZOO, knowing that the feeding time
Is at hand.
Among the employees thus relieved are
the elevator men and telephone girls. /
do not know that every store has the
same relief system. as we pride our
selves on an organization that is almost
military, but some attempt at relief is
made by every management making
pretense to modern methods of organiza-
tion.'

MORE BEES ARE HIvED
ON STREETS OF THE CITY

There must be pretty general
movement on among the bees, to
Judge by the number of swarms that
are coming to town. Three swarms
have now been captured on the
streets in the central portion of the
city. The first two were those taken
on Second avenue Wednesday after
noon by Jacob Hess and the other was
hived late yesterday afternoon near
Eighteenth street on Third avenue by
George +. Bailey.
There is an old saying among bee
keepers that "a swarm of bees in May
is worth load of hay" while "a
swarm of bees in June is worth a sill
yer spoon" the significance of which
is that the later in the season the
bees are hived and set to work the
less honey they win make for their
owner. This applies to the average
year, but as this is an extraordinarily
good season for bees on account of
the unprecedented crop of white clO-
YER. it seems likely that swarm TAX
en- now will be worth several spoons.
Rock Island is not the only city that
has experienced an invasion by bees.
Press dispatches tell of the invasion
Of Alexandria, Ind, by swarm of
bees that found permanent quarters
in the central portion of the city.

rrIumphs of modern surgery.

Wonderful things are done for the
human body by surgery. Organs are
taken out and scraped and polished
and put back, or they may be re-
moved entirely; bones are spliced;
pipes take the place of diseased sec
tions of the veins; antiseptic dress
ings are applied to wounds, bruises,
burns and like injuries before infiam-
nation sets in, which causes them to
heal without maturation and in one
third the time required by the old
treatment. Chamberlain's Pain Balm
acts on this same principle. 1t is an
antiseptic and when applied to such
injuries, causes them to heal very
quickly. 1t also allays the pain and
soreness. Keep bottle of Pain Balm
in your home and it will save you
time and money, not to mention the
Inconvenience and suffering which
such injuries entail. For sale by all
druggists.

them the Easy Pill. w. III. Howell,
