Bic Buffalo Fish.

For the last few days Rochester peo-
pie have been having great sport catch
ing buffalo fish in the small creeks due
to the overflow of Lake ManitOu, one
mile east of this place.
The recent heavy rains caused the
lake to rise considerably, and the high
waters washed the fish over the dams.
Since that time they have been swim
ming around in the small creeks, and,
being an inactive fish, several boys cor
nered one with boards and dubbed
it to death. That fish tipped the scales
at thirty-two pounds and set the town
to talking, and since that time the
banks of the creek have been filled
with people.
Altogether about 100 of these large
fish have been caught, the largest hav-
ing been captured by DR.. M. o. King.
1t weighed sixty-two pounds.-ROches-

Err To Consider
- -t. 81
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
Has an Unequaled Record of Cures
Mrs. Pinkkanr'S Advice Is ConfIdsn-
fiaI Free, and alcayS Helpful

FIRsT.-That almost every operation
in our hospitals performed upon women
becomes necessary through neglect OF
such symptoms as backache, irregular
and painful menstruation, leucorrhGa,
disbursements of the uterus, pain in
the side, burning sensation in the stom'
ach, bearing down pains, nervousness,
dizziness and sleeplessness.
SEcoND.-The medicine that holds
the record for the largest number OF
absolute cures of female ills is Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can.
For thirty years it has been helping
women to be strong, curing backache,
nervousness, kidney troubles, all utter
inc and ovarian Inflammation, weak
ness and .displacements, regulating
menstruation perfectly and overcom..
inc it's pains. It has also proved itself
invaluable in preparing for childbirth
and the change of life.
THIRp.-The great volume of unso-
llclteQ ana grateful oCoUli11Ohi"AS " AiS
at the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn,
Mass, many of which are from time to
time published by permission, give alb
solute evidence of the value OF Lydia
E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound and

United States is asked to accept the

PHONE AID TO MATRIMoNY,
Girl with One In Her Home Always
Popular with Young Men. =

Popular WILT IOuHS WIZ"
It is needless to say that the tele-
phone is a great institution, says the
Utica Press. 1t has long been an ap-
solute essential in every place of bust
ness. Just now there is great IN
crease in the number of phones IN PIT
vate houses. It is possible 10 TALK
with pretty much everybody at his OF
her home. The companies are eVl'
IDENTIFY endeavoring to boom tna'
branch of their business, because they
are advertising extensively. Inc
other day st. Louis paper had a Dig
display ad at the top of which was
picture of an attractive young lazy
telephoning and represented as say
ing: %'Is that you, Harry?" The text
beneath it includes this statement:
ut is a well-known fact that the gin
who has a telephone is the girl VINO
has the most friends and consequently
has the best time"
This appeal to the young people Is
adroit and doubtless will serve 10
make the st. Louis exchange bigger
and buster. The parents who nave
manageable daughters will do well
to consider this ingenious contrivance
and modern aid to matrimony. 1t is
something of bother for a young
man to call or even to write note
asking the young lady to go to the the
alter, go for a walk or drive or ride
to the park, but if he can transmit the
message by telephone it is an easy
way of making an appointment
Many a delicious message is tele
phoned these days and there Is reason
to believe the statement made by the
st. Louis company. 1t applies, OF
course, with equal force in every
American city. The young ladies Tor
whom a life of single blessedness has
no charms are not exactly buying
lottery when they hire phone. They
can get much pleasure and comfort
out of it as they go along, for 1t is Q
constant contributor to convenience
1t is worth the price, with the enhanc
ed matrimonial possibility thrown I'D
as an extra inducement.

ooh, it only costs me a cent to run
my car every mile" To which his host
replied: "I have often wondered what
the scent was for: I understand now"
When this joke had been duly ex-

night when he returned home. The
opportunity eventually arrived, and
Jones prepared his friends, for the
