hear this story with great delight and
they likewise wink the other eye when
he has finished.
No other carrier hauls his boat with
a horse or takes horse out at all
unless he is sure the ice is firm from
shore to shore, but there was once a
Bass Island carrier who used to drive
a cutter sometimes, and when every
thing looked well, wasn't afraid to go
alone.
One day late in the season. when
the ice was beginning to soften up a
bit, he started out from South Dock,
on PUTIN Bay. with his horse and cut
ter and unaccompaned, in spite of the
protests of his friends. When he
turned up all right at night. they were
naturally primed to hear a tall yarn
about the day, and they got it.

a tough Ball Team, and knew how to
play SeVen-U Up.
Across the Street from where Jimmy
lived there was a magnificent Brick
House with Mansard Roof.
Within this Palace dwelt a Boy who
had been handicapped with the Name
of f. Lawrence. However, 1t was
hoped that his Money would carry him
through. f. Lawrence had been
warned against Jimmy. His Mama Of
ten took him on her Knee and told
him how one of his Ancestors turned
the Water into Long Island Sound and
that it was his Duty to guard the
Family Name and not sneak to Peo-
pie who worked by the Day.
So F. Lawrence would stand at the
Window and make Faces at Jimmy
outside. Whereupon Jimmy would
double-dare him to come into the
Street, but f.. Lawrence remembered
about the Family Name and refused
to associate with any low-born Char
acters. But when he went out to take
his Dancing Lesson, Jimmy would
chase him a few Blocks and call him

county. The best way to get a true
notion of the work involved in car
rying the mail over this route is to
take passage for North Bass with the
carriers some day in mid-winter, when
the lake is about half frozen over. One
who has been such passenger told his
story yesterday to the writer.
Winter Trip to the Basses.
"I left Port Clinton in the middle of
bright January morning" he said,
driving the nine mules to Catawba
Island. There the carriers were watt
ing with their sledgeboat. The pas
sage over had been fair, they said,
but they looked for trouble going
back. The ice was solid near shore,
but very bad in the middle of the
three-mile stretch to South Bass. Be
sides, a storm seemed to be brewing,
and they advised me to postpone my
trip. But they finally gave in, on
condition that 1 should help if 1 was
needed and at least should walk
whenever they had to push or tow the
boat.
"They loaned me pair of long boots
and a set of oilskins to keep me from
getting too wet if l should go through
the ice, and told me that 1 would be
expected to use one of the pixies they
had in the boat in case polling was
necessary. The boat is fiat bottomed,
apparently of the ordinary lake type,
is sixteen feet long, about twenty
inches deep and of four-foot beam. 1t
is sheathed with galvanized sheet iron,
the better to stand the ice-battering it
gets on every trip. On it's bottom are
two runners four inches high and
about five feet long. A layman would
take them for parallel false keels.
Before we started 'creepers'-steel

the ice-were strapped to my boots

on the boat every minute while walk
ing, so that l could save myself by
jumping into it if the ice gave way
under me.

Once there were two Boys growing
up in a large City. One had been born
with a Silver Spoon in his Mouth. At
that time Silver was regarded as a val

to be born under the Stars and Stripes,

DR.. x. La Motto Sage made a
fortune out of Hypnotism. He prob
ably knows more about the subject
than any living man. His methods
are radically different from any ever
before presented. By his new system
he hynotizes people instantaneously.
He tells you how to exert tremendous
silent influence without making a
gesture or saying single word. He
gives the only real, practical methods
for the development of the power of
Personal Magnetism that have ever
been published. During all the time
that DIR. Sage was before the public
he made 1t his business to note care
fully the effect of hypnotism upon the
human mind. He became convinced
that this mighty mysterious power
could be utilized to the advantage of
ambitious men and women who wished
to better their condition in life. To
demonstrate the correctness of his
ideas when he retired from public life
he founded a college where Hypnotism,
Personal Magnetism, Magnetic Heal
ing, etc, might be taught along the
definite lines he had laid down. The
result is that the college has grown to
be the largest of its kind in the world.
Thousands of successful students in
all parts of the globe are living wit
nesses to the wonderful power and the
great practical benefits to be derived
from DR.. Sage's methods. The Doc
tor has recently written a book en-
titled 1.-THE Philosophy Of Personal
Influence" in which he tells in plain,
simple language just how to acquire
hypnotic power and the various uses
to which it may be put. Among the
many interesting things upon which
the book treats are: How to develop
magnetic power and influence people
without their knowledge; how to cure
bad habits and obstinate chronic dis
eases, when medicine and everything
else in this linz fails: how to implant
a command in a subjects mind that he
will carry out in every detail a month
or a year hence, whether the hypnotist
is present or not; how to hypnotic

For nerve, endurance and persistence
mail carriers between the Ohio main
land and the four inhabited islands of
the curious little archipelago which
decorates the southwestern part of the
map of Lake Erie.
There are four of these islands. KEEL
ley's, the largest, lies almost due north
or Sandusky. The three Bases lie a
little further west. They range north
and south, and are known colloquially
as North Bass, Middle Bass and South
Bass. To the Postoffice Department the
first named is Isle of st. George and
the last named Put-in-Bay, famous as
summer resort. Grover Cleveland and
ADMIRAL Bob Evans go fishing on Mid
ule Bass every spring.
In warm weather the mail reaches
the islands via Sandusky through the
commonplace medium of regular daily
steamers. From Dec. to March 81, in
clusiVe, exactly four months, the win
Ter service is in operation. Nearly
every winter there is a. brief period
curing which the ice freezes solidly
between mainland and islands and then
me carriers drive over their route
comfortably with a horse and light
oobs," the same as hundred of other
star route carriers.
Most of the time, though, the state
OF the lake is such that the mail must
De carried in a nondescript sort of
craft which can be used as a sledge,
d roWboat or a sailboat, as occasion
demands. There are many trips each
winter on which the carriers use their
queer craft in all four ways. There are
many trips also which are full of real
Hanger, and scores of times the car
Ilers have had to display genuine he
Ioism. The contracts Have always been
,aken by two men, in partnership, and

d trip alone. When the lake is bad a
