Boy caught by . Catfish.

Otto Scavinsky, Il years old, had an exciting tussel with catfish weighing 32 pounds, and but for the timely assist ance of two men would probably have lost his life. The boy was fishing on the river bank at the foot of Chestnut street, in St. Paul, Minn., when suddenly his line was jerked violently, and he was yanked headlong into the river. He cried loudly for help, but held on to the line. James Goodhue and Thomas Mur- phy heard his cries and pulled him out of the water. They landed the catfish, after struggle.

Bright scheme That Failed.

Bright Scheme That Failed
 Bristling with ambition, a young physician who has a limited practice recently thought of scheme which he felt would be money maker for him His idea was to fool his neighbors into the belief that he was overrun with business. This he attempted to do by inducing all the charity patients he treated at the dispensary with which he is connected to come to his office, telling them it would be convenience for him, and that 1t would cost them nothing. But the result was not all he anticipated. While his office was al- ways crowded, the number of his pay ing patients did not increase and at the end of the month he had made a visible impression on but one person. His landlady raised his rent. because she was sure he had acquired an ex- tenive and prosperous practice.

great popularity all these years. you
will be thankful we called your atten-
ton to Boschee's German syrup.
There are so many ordinary cough
remedies made by druggists and 9th
ers that are cheap and good for light
colds perhaps, but for severe coughs,
bronchitis, croup-and especially for

like German Syrup. The rs cents size
