on 1t silently, cunningly, in the night to
share its luck.
So, too, when the smacks return to port.
The crews that get home first are expected
to bring back the news Of all the rest.
"Will Mary Lancaster be in soon? asks
a part owner. when we left It on the 18th
of March, II was three-quarters full and
doin' well. 1t ought to be in in four days.
answers the skipper. lack sends his love
and says to tell you they'll be in before
the weeks out shouts a fisherman to a
woman washing on the end OF the wharf.
But the first question hat the returning
fishermen ask Is as 10 the condition of the
market. Gloucester is a jealous town and
there is bitter fighting between its dealers
and the sharp dealers on the long wharf
in Boston. Nowhere in New England arc
there more amusing and sometimes dra-
matte instances Of typical Yankee shrewd-
ness than in the fight for the best prices
in the fish market.
1t is this fight for the cream Of the mar.
ket that has done the most to evolve the
present type of niers that distinguishes the
beautiful Gloucester fleet. A Gloucesterman
will maintain at any time that no boat
afoat can outsail a fisherman, and he has
abundant reason for his faith. Men will
point out a half-dozen craft in Gloucester
any time that they are ready to back
against the fastest yachts that ever flew
in an ocean race; in a run, say from Glou-
cester harbor to the North sea, or a SINH
lar little Jaunt in the worst Of seasons.
The typical Gloucester fisherman is not
only as fast as a yacht; in weather so
wicked that a yacht is as useless as a
stick Of wood, the Gloucester vessel will
spread an appalling area of sail aud stand
out for the Banks in a perfectly matter-of-
fact way.
A true Grand Banks schooner, built for
cod fishing and the winter remembering
trade, is from 100 to 1875 feet long. A
craft like John J.. Flaherty, one of
Gloucester's best, which is 1872 feet over
all, will have a beam Of twenty-five feet.
Omaha daily bee., 1903-03-29

II draws from liz to 1914 feet Of water and
carries a mainmast seventy-fve feet high
with a foremost from sixty-three to sixty
FIVE feet. The foretopmast will be thirty
nine or forty feet and the maintopmast is
forty-two feet to forty-fve feet long.
Such a vessel is built with especial view
to being easy to anchor in a heavy sea.
This is one of the important qualities of
Gloucester fishing craft, for practically all
their fishing is done from dories and the
smacks lie at anchor throughout except
when they are shifting ground. although
the smaller vessels often run out with the
dories and help TO set or haul travis.
These big Grand Banks schooners carry
immense cargoes. Flaherty carries 1900
barrels of herring and on its first trip it
loaded COO, 600 pounds Of Goldfish.
The other leading type OF Gloucester boat
is the market fishing schooner. 1t is Of
the "knockabout" form, a model that is
comparatively new, having been used first
only about ten years ago. 1t was viewed
a bit specifically at first and the arrival of
tho early "knockabout' boat at the banks
was the signal for a good deal of pretended
surprise at it's safe arrival and the life of
it's crew was made miserable by offers of
assistance in case the water got rough or
the winds began to blow. But the clever
fishermen did not fail to see it's fine points
and before long most Of the new vessels
were built on it's lines.
The typical market fishing schooner is
such a craft as Rob Roy, with 10 feet
length over all, SS feet on the water line,
% feet beam and masts almost as long as
those of the bigger Grand Banks schooners,
those of the Rob Roy, for instance, being
only eight feet shorter than the masts of
the big Flaherty.
Different from both types in detail. but
similar &c them in seaworthiness, swiftness
and beauty Of outline, is the mackerel SEM
ing schooner, which usually is built to fol-
low the business Of SEEMING mackerel in the
summer and the frozen herring trade in the
winter. Its deck is SO designed that, in

THE STOr1ACH Is THE MAN.

A weak stomach weakens the man
 because it cannot transform the food he eats into nourishment. Health and strength cannot be restored to any sick man or weak woman without first restoring health and strength to the stomach. A weak stomach cannot di- gest enough food to feed the tissues and revive the tired and run down limbs and organs of the body. Kodol Dyspepsia cure cleanses, purities, sWeetens and strengthens the glands and membranes of the stomach, and cures indigestion, dyspepsia and all stomach troubles. s. J.

'TWOULD SPOIL THIS STORY TO TELL IT
 IN THE HEADLINES

To use ali eighteenth century phrase, this is an "o'er true tale.'' Having happened in a small Virginia town in the winter of 1902, it is story very much of the present. Up to a short time ago Mrs John E. Harmon of Melfa Station, Va, had no personal knowledge of the rare curative prop critics of Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy. "Last January" she says, "my baby took dreadful cold and at one time feared she would have pneumO- nia, but one of my neighbors told me how this remedy had cured her little boy, and I began giving it to my baby and it soon cured her. I heartily thank the manufacturers of Chamber lain's Cough Remedy for placing so great cure within my reach. l can. not recommend it too highly or say toe much in it's favor. l hope all who read this will try it and be convinced as l was."

DEATH RATE DECREASING.

The 1900 census shows a decrease of 10 per cent in the general death rate. The decline in consumption is more marked than any other disease. Many causes are attributed, but it is safe to say that Dr Kings New Discovery for consumption, coughs and colds is re. sponsible for the decline, to large extent. Many life has been saved by it's use. There is nothing anywhere just as good for lung and throat troubles. It's positively guaranteed by R. H. Beers & Co.,, Newtown; Tay' Hawley, Sherman; A. W.

ANOTHER EPIDEMIC OF THE GRIP
 IS ANTICIPATED.
MANY CASES REPORTED ALREADY IN THIS PART OF THE COUNTRY-A COMMON-SENSE REMEDY FOR THE DISEASE AND ITS EFFECTS.

Owing to the climatic conditions this year many physicians fear another epidemic of the grip, that form of in- fluenza which so many have cause to remember. In some cases this disease has run it's course with but little more severity than hard cold. In nearly every case it has left train of after effects more troublesome than the disease itself. It is characteristic of the grip that ordinary medicines will not cure it permanently. The pa tient seems to have recovered and then suffers relapse more severe than the first attack. The trouble in such cases is that the disease was not thorough ly eradicated from the system by the treatment employed.
 Miss c. A. Peck of No. 633 East Four teenth street, Minneapolis, Minn. had | very.severe attack of the grip in 1889, and it left her prostrated. II could 1 not get over that feeling of utter ex- haustion,,' she says, "I had no ambi- tion to do anything and any little ex- ertion made me out of breath and tired out. 1 grew thin, nervous and irrit- able. Then l decided to try Dr Will laims' Pink Pills for Pale People and the first box made me feel better. Four boxes restored me to my natural good health.'
 The after-effects of the grip are often worse than the disease and many times they baffle all efforts of the physicians to drive them out of the system. Health is .shattered-the blood be- comes poor, the flesh falls away, the sufferer grows nervous and irritable. and even slight exertion causes short- ness of breath. These are dangerous symptoms and indicate,that!the system is in state that invites pneumonia, bronchitis or even consumption. pr Villains Pink Pills for Pale People will quickly restore the health after an attack of the grip and expel the lingering germs, and, working through the blood, will render the system proof against the disease. pr Villains Pink Pills for Pale People may be had of all druggists, or direct by mail from Dr Williams Medicine Company, ,Sche- nectady, N.Y., fifty cents box; six box es two dollars and fifty cents.
