GOosEBONE WEATHER PROPHET.
Predicts Mild Winter with Slight Inter
ception of Cold Snap.

Elias Hartz, aged % of Reading,
Pa, the goosebone weather proph-
ct, helped to eat his first goose of
the season the other day Looking at the
breast bone after it was dried, Mr.. Hartz
saw very little Of the usual purple color
ing and at once declared emphaticaily
that the coming winter would be very
mild.
Along about the holidays. or during the
early part of January, a sharp drop in
the temperature is indicated, but it will
not last more than a few days. The re-
mainder Of that month will be mild.
About the first of February severe cold
weather with plenty of snow, and proba-
bly, a blizzard, may be expected. Real
winter weather is predicted for that
month and it may extend into March
The bone is perfectly clear until the
middle of winter, when a dark spot is
shown. Then it again clears and remains
so until the closing month of the winter
The discolorations of the bone are in
sharp contrast compared with those of
the two previous years. The one for
19O4-19O5 showed from the dark color
all the way through that the winter
would be severe from start to finish.

which seems very good on paper. In
stead Of employing an individual decoy
duck, he uses three, all being mounted
on sections and connected together by a
frame which is almost invisible in the
water. Each section acts as Il buoy for
duck, and by joining these sections
together, one section forms Il support for
the other, preventing any or all from
falling over on their sides Tie ends of
each section are joined together III the
center by hinge, so that they can readi-
ly be folded and packed for transporta-
ton. Novel means are used to keep the
rear ducks separated and in the rear of
the front duck. A cord, on the free end,
through nyelets along the bottom of the
framework from the front duck to one
of the rear ducks and continues on to the
other duck. The pull on the cord ema-
mating from the weight, which pull is
augmented by the wind or wave, causes
the cord to remain taut and hold the
rear supports with their decoys at a
proper angle from the front decoy, and
in such a position that the decoys can
not be drawn together, the hinges linn
iting the turn of each support.

PECAN SMELLING.
Many Hundreds of People Occupied in
Extracting the Kernels of Nuts.

Some idea of the magnitude of the
pecan nut meat industry may be had
when it is stated that in San Antonio,
Tex, alone there are 100 members OF
the Pecan Shelters union. a labor or
ganization composed of men engaged as
regular business in the Smelling OF
pecan nuts and extracting the delicious
kernels.
Not all of the pecan shelters in San
Antonio belong to the union. There are
several hundred other men, women and
children in that city who gain liveli-
hood from the work. There are branches
OF the Pecan Shelters union in Austin
and several other towns of the state
The pecan nut Smelling season lasts
from October to July 1. The new crop
of nuts begin to come into market about
October 1, and from then until January
l the business of extracting the kernels
is very active. The kernels are shipped
in large bulk to New York, st. Louis
and other cities, where they are used by
confectioners in the manufacture of can
dies.
Pecan Smelling is comparatively new
industry. 1t had it's origin. so far as it's
becoming a recognized business is con-
cerned, few years ago when a candy
manufacturer of New York visited
Texas.
He ate some Of the candy made and
sold by Mexican street vendors in San
Antonio. Pecan kernels form an I'M
portant ingredient of this candy. AS an
experiment he arranged for a small ship
ment of the pecan meats to be made to
him.
The kernels were received in due time,
and the highest art of the candyma ker
was employed in their use. The pecan
candy became popular almost instantly
and other orders for the pecan kernels
were placed.
That was the beginning of an industry
which now gives employment to several
thousand people. There is big demand
for the pecan kernels in every large city
in the country.

Hearing an unusual clatter on the

Mrs. b. M. Peterson of Munising, Mich,

tonished to gaze into the face of the

While no woman is entirely free from
periodical suffering, it does not seem to
be the plan Of nature that women
should suffer so severely. Menstrual
ton is a severe strain on a woman's
vitality. If it is painful Or irregular
something is wrong which should be
set right or it will lead to serious de-
rangement of the whole female organ
ism.
More than fifty thousand women
have testified in grateful letters to Mrs.
Pinkham that Lydia e. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound overcomes pain
full and irregular menstruation.
It provides safe and sure way of es-
cape from distressing and dangerous
weaknesses and diseases.
The two following letters tell so con-
vincingly what Lydia e. Pinkham's

women, they cannot fail to bring hope
to thousands of sufferers.
Miss Nellie Holmes of $40 N. Davi-

THE GOOSEBONE.

The goosebone prophet ate a goose
A day or two ago;
Call out the band and turn 'em loose
And let the tuba blow.
He dried the breast bone near the fire
And meanwhile no one smiled;
Strike up the band there, Hezekiah,
This winter will be mild.
The goosebone prophet told US SO,
He got it from the goose;
He says that We'll have lots of snow,
But winter will be loose
In February there will be
Some real old zero starch
And maybe we will also see
Some frosty days in March
But on the whole King Winters grip
Won't be SO very strong;
From time to time he'll take d trip,
Nor will his stays be long.
SO get the band and turn EN- loose,
Let horn and fife be blown;
Hurrah for that old prophets goose,
Three cheers for his breast bone.
