to watch the returning fishermen each day after
fishing begins, and the dog is usually found and re-
stored to its rightful owner in a few days New
foundland dogs are the faVorites with the fisher
men, as they are large. strong and especially in
tegent. After the fishing ceases most of the dogs
can be purchased from the fishermen for a mere
trife as it would be too much trouble and expense
to keep them until the next season.
fishermans outfit consists Of axe, shovel,
an ice chsel, the "tlp-Up, catching apparatus,
bait can and a small piece of sail cloth with two
short poles, for forming windbreak on windy
days. The ice chiseI is made by fastening sharp
piece Of steel about two inches in width to the
end of a pole five feet in length. and is used in
keeping the fishing holes clear Office.
AS soon as the fisherman reaches the grounds he
proceeds to erect his windbreak. which forms
slight but necessary protection from the eX-
cessiveIy cold winds which blow across the lake.
He then cuts from three TO five holes through the
ice in which to do his fishing. These holes are
not more than eighteen inches in width but OF
varying lengths. There is a rule of the fishermen
against the holes being more than eighteen incheS
in width as otherwise there would be considerable
danger Of some falling into the holes. and this
rule is rigidy enforced.
The ''tip-up" is then rigged. This is constructed
of two sticks eighteen and twenty-four inches
long respectively one inch wide and a half inch
thick, firmly tied together with twine in the form
Of a cross the free end Of the line being attached
to hollow lead snker by means Of a loop OF
copper wire driven through the snker. the ends
of the wire being brought out below and bent ar
right angles for the attachment of the lines Wlth
the hooks appended Each ''tip-up' has two hooks
which ara suspended about eighteen inches below
the sinker. The hooks baited with live min
nows and are lowered through the hole in the ice
to within three four inches of the bottom. The
ends of the short cross stick rest the ice on
either side of the hole, the short end of the long
stick being over the centre of the hole. The line
is caught in a number Of turns around this stick

ane fish fight has been a struggle between the
town and the country. The sportsmen Of the
towns go fishing for the most part in sum-
mer. They attend to business in winter, make
what money they can, and then, with the
turn Of warm weather, they spend their vaca-
ton onsthe shores Of Chautauqua Lake. The
farmer, on the other hand, works in summer and
takes his recreation in winter. With him, as
with the townsman, ChaUtauqua Lake is the
great playground. Although its forty square
miles of surface may be frozen over to the depth
Of nearly foot, it makes no difference with him.

ON THE GREAT LIKES.
Ho1o the Ice Fishing Is Done an
the Inland Seas.

On Lake Erie, near the city OF Buffalo, is the
principal scene of ice fishing the Great Lakes.
In Buffalo it is the favorite occupation with the
sailors, dockmen and laborers who are thrown out
Of work during the winter months by the sus-
pension Of lake traffic while in the other parts of
fishermen.
AS soon as the ice freezes sufficiently, which is
usually about December 1, the fishing begins, and
continues until the spring breakup, about March 1.
Some years thaws occur. which materially shorten
the fishing season. but it generally lasts about
ninety days.
The fishing grounds Lake Erie are from one
to ten miles from shore, and the men usually
start for the grounds about o'clock in the morn
ing Most of the fishermen have small sleds. with

IMPORTANT SCIEN-
TIFIc DISCOVERY
A Clinical Preparation That Positively
Kills the Dandruff Germ.

A most important discovery has been
made after a years patient laboratory
work aimed in a certain direction--it
is Newbro's Herpicide, a preparation
that cures badness, prevents falling
hair, and speedily and permanently
eralicates dandruff. These evils are
caused by a germ or parasite that bur
rows into the scalp, throwing up dan
druff, as it seeks to sap the life of the
hair at the root. There's no badness
without falling or thin hair, no thin
ahir without dandruff, and no dandruff
if the germ is destroyed. Newbro's
Herpicide is the only preparation that
will do the work. Destroy the cause,
you remove the effect"

hard labors of a brakeman as yet.
Fireman Ward has been assigned for

Fireman Ferguson is the cold stor,
age fireman now, that is, he has been
placed on the ice run as the proper
nan to keep the ice from burning up.
Fireman Fletcher is once more at his
post of duty watching the hands on the
steam gauge do their Irish reel after
several days off in the wilderness of
idleness.
Jim Kiunen, the Apollo OF the local
yard. who has been off for some days
past wrestling with a severe cold, re-
sumed his occupation Of giving auto

Engineer Schubert having lost sew,

around the city in search of that which
is strange, has announced himself as
ready for duty, increasing his pay

Fireman Klecan, who loves to wan

for the elixir of life and reported him
self as ready to resume operations
