JOYS OF THOUSAND ISLANDS
Motor Boating to He . Popular Sport IN

Motor Boating to He . Popular Sport IN
the st. Lawrence This Summer.
Among the 100 islands which constitute
tho world famed Thousand Islands of tho
St. Lawrence preparations are being made
to increase the attractions for summer
tourists. Hotel managers cay that they
have reason to expect one Of the best seasons
in the history OF the region. Mature, they
say, has supplied everything in the way
of scenery that the tourist has right to
desire, and all the way from Clayton to
Chippewa Bay on both sides Of the river,
large and small hotels arc preparing better
accommodations than ever,
The season will be especially noticeable.
the natives say, for motor boating, sport
for the en- ioyment of which few places offer
so good facilities. The river is never too
rough for even the smallest of such craft,
and there Is 80 great variety of trips that
ono who appreciates picturesque scenery
can spend the whole summer without ex-
hausting the list.
Despite the popularity Of the motor boats
and launches, there is no reason TO expect
a lessening of the popularity OF canoeing
and small boat sailing. For canoe sailing
or coursng in and out among the !ands
in the batwinged boats of light draft
I there is no region better adapted and none
in which the Skill Of the sailor may be SO
nicely tested.
New cottages building on hundreds Of
islands indicate that the number OF per-
manent summer residents is to be largely
| increased. There is heavy demand!
| too Tor houseboats which afford the CON-
veniences of cottage life with the added
pleasure Of change of scene as often
as the owner desires. The houseboar is a
comparatively new feature OF Thousand
Islands life. but one that is steadily grow
ing more popular.
For the tourist the opportunities Of view.
ing the islands are unexcelled. At night
searchlght excursions are run, the flashes

or up the river and through Lake Ontario

The scenery of the Thousand Islands
was one OF the few things that lifted Charles
Dickens from a cynical mood on his Ameri-
can trip The scenery is all there yet, q
picture fraught with uncommon interest
and pleasure, as it was when Dickens so
described it.

the yacht was making her ventnresome
journey. All the morning the gale ragged,
coming from the southwest. At noon IL
moderated somewhat and the mizzen top
sail was set, and little later the mainsah
and foresail, both double reefed. were
hoisted. At noon the yacht had made
243 miles, and her position was latitude
1885, longitude 2O.53. This WAS at noon
on the 9th. :,
Then the wind hauled to the south and
the square sail was taken in. The vino
and sea moderated in the afternoon and
reefs we're shaken out OF the fore and main

strong southwest breeze. The wind gradi-
ally moderated on the 2sth, and by noon
the yacht had "a lied 300 miles more. The
yacht was then only 3ls miles from the
finish. and all began to wonder II any boat
could he ahead of the Atlantic. 1t did
not seem possible, but nothing had been
seen since the day after the start, and there
was no telling what some other boat had
done. She, too. might have broken RECORDS
and made fast daily runs. but all thought
that the Atlantic was ahead.
In the afternoon the wind was fresh again,
and toward midnight it got squally, and at
II o'clock, In one particularly heavy squat,
the spanker was taken In. At midnight
soundings were made, and eS faith oms
were got on tho lead line. This agreed
with the dead reckoning under which the
yacht had been navigated, as the weather
had been too thick for good sights.
At sI6 o'clock on the morning Of the

Soon after this the wind shifted to north
west and freshened considerably during
the night. Under full canvas the yacht
made good Roadway, and by noon on the
twenty-flrst day she had sailed 270 miles
more, which was her best days run 30 far.
She was In latitude 4l.09, longitude $40.
That day It was cold and fair. The wind

old navigators said 'ioe.' and they were
right, too, for at 1890 o'clock at night a
big iceberg was seen silently drifting about
q mile to the south Of the yacht. The
temperature OF the air then was a. degrees
and OF the water IS degrees. The berg
presented gruesome sight as It glistened
In the moonlight, and all hands crowded to
the rail and watched it as long as possible.
Toward midnight the wind freshened again,
coming southerly. At s A. M. on the

it was about five miles north Of the yacht.
At noon 243 miles had been added to the

OUR OWN LAKE COUNTRY.
Upstate Bcauties That Interrupted Ono

Upstate Dcauties That Interrupted Ono
Party's summer Trip.
Last year party OF summer tourists
planned trip which should combine in
land travel by water with a short ocean
voyage Starting from New York, they
were going up the Hudson to Troy, thence
by ,ail to Lake George. thence by boat
up Lake George and Lake Champla n
across country to the St Lawrence and
then by the st. Lawrence and the ocean
back to the city.
The trip was nicely planned, but the
tourists failed to cover it because Of their
delight in the beauties OF Lake George
and Lake Champlain.
On Lake George they were reminded Of
Herbert Spencer's saying in his auto
biography: Lake George is the most
picturesque thing saw in the United States
Three Of ohr English lakes placed end t.

and scenery So heartily did they indorse
the remark that they spent two weeks
there,
There we're steamer trips through the la Ike
and drives along the shores drives some
times through virgin foresta and aga n

There were days too that had to beide-
voted to fishing. for no one with the in
stinct Of the angler could pas by the trout
and salmon waters about the Hague. Boil
ton and Lake George village the bass
grounds among the Canoe Islands and the
Hundred Islands o the pickerel grounds
In the northern part Of tho lake.
At Lake Champlain the party found
no lessening Of interest. There they found
a lake Of magnificent distances, Of superb
mountain views and OF rare historic asso-
Citations. One part of the lake was pointed
out as the scene OF McDonough's victory;
along one shore we're many battlefelds
Of the French and Indian wars, and at
Ticonderoga they inspected the ruins OF the
fort which Ethan Allen took -in the name
Of the Great Jehovah and the Continental
Congress.
From Lake Champlain the party passed
to Au Sable chasm inland from the western
shore and took day or two In adrnirin e
that Yosemite of the East where the All

high water falls, forces its way between
sheer cliffs Of solid roGt to Lake Cham

miles and was 81 miles from the Lizard.
At $50 o'clock an Admiralty tug ran along

she had won the race. and then a cheer
rang out that could almost have been heard
In the lonely lighthouse on the Lizard.

WHY THEY ARE HAPPY
TWO NOTABLE REC0VERIEs FROM
EXTREME DEBILITY.
Husbands Strength Had Been Waning for
Three Years, Wife a Sufferer from
Female Weakness.

Female Weakness.
"My strength had dwindled so thatI
couldn't apply myself to my business
with any snap but was tired and hstless
all the time" said Mr.. Goldstein.
81 went to bed completely used MP by
my day work, and when / got up in
the morning / didn't feel rested q bit. I
had awful headaches COO, and my kid.
neys got out of order and caused me to
have severe pains in the back. AT one
time l became so feeble that l could not
stir from bed for three weeks"
Mr.. Goldstein is a young man and had
then but recently established a home Of
his own. His anxieties were increased
by the fact that his wife was far from
being robust. Mrs. Goldstein says:
For twoyears | had been i'll most of
the time. Sometimes | was confined to
bed for weeks in succession under a ply
sician's care. / had headaches, kidney
troeble, pain about the heart and many
more uncomfortable symptoms con.
nected with that weakness to which my
sex is peculiarly subject"
Trouble had invaded this household
and settled i'll it in just the years that
oughtto be the very happiest. Physicians
could not tell them. how to get rid of it.
IL was utterly discouraged, said Mr..
Goldstein. "Then the urgency of some
friends led me to try a blood and nerve
remedy which was said to be wonder
fully successful. Within a month there
were unmistakable signs of improvement
in my condition, and within a year I
was completely well. Through the use
of DR.. Williams Pink Pills I have now
as good health as lever had in my life"
Mrs. Goldstein adds: 1.-The wonderful
effect that DR.. Williams Pink Pills had
in the case of my husband led me to try
them and they helped me even more
quickly than they did him. One box
made me decidedly better and a few
months treatment cured me-"
DR.. Williams Pink Pills are the best
tonic and regulator, they make pure,
rich blood and when there is general
weakness and disorder that is what the
needs. Mr.. and Mrs. II. Goldstein
