Fish. Fia..-ag and Fishermen.
There is one corner OF the Harvard
collcse library tLat is sure to attract
all lovers Of angling, fer it contains one
of the NEST intcres. ing collections of
books on fish, fishing and fishermen to
be found in the country. There are
books in Latin, in German and in
French: books that date back TO the
early days Of the printing press and
books that were brcgght out couple
Of months ago in L3nd II or New York.
The greater part Of the collection is the
gift of John Bartlett an enthusiastic
fisherman who is known to multitude
Of readers as the compiler Of Bart
let's Familiar Quotations but valu-
able additions are being made to It
constantly frcm O.hcr sources.
Outside of better known books like
leak Waltons "CcmpIeat Angler" Of
which there are nearly sixty separate
editions, the collection abounds in
quaint trcatiscs of fishing lore that lar

gcations and hints that woa.d not cone

wrote the Secrets Of Angling" put his
advice into verse. The first edition Of
his poem. which is divided into three
books appeared in 1913 and is one of
the rarest volumes il English litera-
turc Then there is old Gervase Mark
ham. who coItcnGed that "a skillful an
glcr ought 10 be n general scholar" so
that he might know how to write or
discourse Oh his art in true and fitting
terms, either without aiiectation or
rudenoss." Another versifer exhibited
his knowledge in lines like the follow

copy Of the original edition Of the chap i

1896, is in existence, but there are sew |
eral excellent reprints. Of tine best of |
which, published in 1910 and now very |
rare, the Harvard collection has a well !
preserved specimen. The book was
written by Juliana Barnes, or Berners,
prioress of Sopwell, and so true a lover
Of fishing, hunting and hawl,ing that
she was called the "Diana Of the Eng

other sports. however ard some Of the
advice she gives is sufficiently plain

why Moody Succeeded.

What was the inevitable result?
When Mr.. Moody tried to advance
these Christian workers, whom some
people might have called his rivals. he
advanced himself into the heartS Of
sinful men and women as well as into
the chief human leadership OF the
Christian world. Many contemporaries
may have excelled him in Individual
and particular gifts, but in mighty,
masterful leadership, in the fame and
eminence which viii cause his name
to go down through the coming cen
turtles as a Christian worker. in his in.
fluence upon the men of his day, Mr.
Moody stood head and shoulders above
all the Christian workers of his time
He won tliis enviable position because
he did not have a particle Of Jealousy
IN his makeup. He won It because lie
tried 10 help bis rivals instead Of to d.
stroy them. No man ever successfully
built a temple Of fame upon the ruined

Dead Il 4 Question Raised
An appeal to the Supreme Court was
filed yesterday in Belleville in the case Of
COrinne Rudolph VS.. Eliza Rudolph and
others in a partition suit which Involves
the construction Of the will OF the late
William +. Rudolph. who died at the In
sane Asylum at Anna about a year Rso.
The case bears q legal point which has
become Of interest TO the legal fraternity
Of the county. II Is whethsr the grand
children OF Mr.. Rudolph are entitled TO a
share of the estate. which he devised
should be divided among his four children.
one OF whom was the father OF these chill
dren- The father OF the children died aft
er the will was made and after Mr.. Ru-
dolph was declared insane. The case in the
Circuit Court was decided against the
grandchildren and they appealed it
The will Of Mr.. Rudolph RAJ made about
twenty-seyen years ago.. while he was in
sound min 1t provided that his widow
Mould have a life interest IN the estate.
Attorneys for the grandchildren ho1
that the will was mad before Rudolph
became insane. and hat when he was ad-
judged of unsound mind he was legally
dead. The will. they say. should have
been probated then. As the son did not die
until after bis father had been adtudged
insane and legally was dead. they hold
that the estate should be divided as the
father had directed and that the share
going 10 his dead son should go to the
iatter's heirs.

A DMIRAL SCHLEY, one of the foremostS notable heroes of
n the Nineteenth Century. A name that starts terror in the
4 = heart of every Spaniard. man of steady nerve, clear head,
undaunted courage and prompt decision.
Approached by a friend recently, his opinion was asked as to
the efficacy of Peruua, the national catarrh remedy. Without the
slightest hesitation he gave this remedy his endorsement. It
appeared on later conversation that Peruna has been used in his
family, where 1t is a favorite remedy,
Such endorsements serve to indicate the wonderful hold that
Peruna has upon the minds of the American people. It is out of
the question that so great and famous a man as Admiral Schey
could have any other reason for giving his endorsement to Peruna
than his positive conviction that the remedy is all that he says

The St. Louis Republic. [volume] (St. Louis, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1903-10-04

The fact is Peruna has overcome all opposition and has won its
way to the hearts of the people. The natural timidity which so
many people have felt about giving endorsements to any remedy is
giving way. Gratitude and a desire to help others has inspired
thousands Of people to give public testimonials for Peruna who
heretofore would not have consented to such publicity.
Never before in the annals of medicine has it appeared that so
many men OF national and international reputation have been will
ing to give unqualified and public endorsements to a proprietary
remedy. No amount of advertising could have accomplished such
a result. Peruna mas won on its own merits! Peruna cures catarrh
OF whatever phase or location in the human body. This is why it
receives so many notable and unique endorsements.
Address The Peruna Drug Mfg. Co, Columbus, Ohio, for free
