Presbyterian Synod of Wisconsin Not
on Record on High License
Question.

BRANDON, Wis, Oct. 23.-Charles
S. Adams, stated clerk for the Presby-

the synod adopted resolutions in favor
of high license at it's recent session at
La Crosse. He says:
'"The Synod of Wisconsin Presby-
teriam at it's recent meeting in Ia
Crosse did not adopt resolutions in favor
of high license; in no action taken by the
synod was the question referred to in
any manner whatever; the records are
barren of reference to the subject. In
the course of brief address one person,
and he not member of the synod or of
the denomination, did refer to the matter
and spoke somewhat approvingly of the
action of some other body which had,
he alleged, adopted course such as
charged against the synod. He was
speaking by courtesy only, represented
himself alone, and the synod was in no
way responsible for his sentiments, tax
ing no action after the address upon the
subject matter of the address,.

-Mr5. L9Hes/erIu1ry

A nervous, irritable mother, often on
the verge Of Mysteries, is unfit to care
Tor children; it ruins a child's DISPOSE
ton and reacts upon herself. The
trouble between children and their
mothers too often is due to the fact
that the mother has some female weak
ness, and she is entirely unfit to bear
the strain upon her nerves that govern
ing children involves; it is impossible
for her to do anything calmly.
The ills of women act like firebrand
upon the nerves, consequently nine
tenths of the nervous prostra ton, Il r,
vOus dependency. "the blues" sleep.
lessness, and nervous irritability OF
women arise from some arrangement
of the female organism.
Do you experience fits of depression
with restlessness, alternating with
extreme irritability? Are your spirits
easily affected, so that one minute you
laugh, and the next minute you feel
like crying?
Do you feel something like ball ris-
ing in your throat and threatening to
choke you; all the senses perverted,
morbidly sensitive TO light and sound !;
pain in the ovaries, and especially
between the shoulders; bearing down
pains; nervous dyspepsia, and almost
continually cross and snappy?
If SO, your nerves are in shattered
condition, and you are threatened with
nervous prostration.
Proof is monumental that nothing in
the world is better for nervous prostra-
ton than Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound; thousands and thou
sands of women testify to this fact.

BLACK FOX IN MAINE.
It's Fur Will Be a Prize Worth Getting
Next Winter.

Men who have ridden into Bangor
early in the morning from Amherst, Au-
rora Beddington and nearby towns say
they have seen a great and superbly
shining black fox capering by the road
sides and scooting across fields and
through pastures.
Making due allowance for visual de-
fects, if the tales that are told are half
true the animal is surely worth hunting
for-or will be a month later, when it's
winter fur is grown. Beyond question,
the pelt of the black fox is the most
valuable fur on earth. The biggest and
huest fur seal in the Arctic ocean car
ries a garment that will be valued at
$500 to $500 after it has been dressed
and colored. The pelt of a great sea
lion commands from 5000 to $500, and
the jacket of silver gray fox sometimes
sells for $500 to $1,000
But better and more choice, and more
expensive than any of the above, is the
skin of the black fox. At the auction
sale of furs held in London last June
there were six pelts taken from black
foxes, which sold for more than $500
each, one specimen commanding $1,000.
The dealers in furs tell us that the best
place to seek black foxes on this CONT
nent is along the northern end of the At
lantic seaboard, from Hancock county,
Maine, through New Brunswick and
Nova Scotia to Labrador. As can be in
ferred from the prices secured from the
buyers, black foxes are not plentiful in
any part of the world. Less than 100
pelts are taken in year from the en-
tire earth. In some years the number
has dwindled to thirty.
Of late the captures have been more
plentiful, though a man can hunt a long
time in any place without casting his
eyes upon black fox, and, as seeing
is not equivalent to securing, many men
who have looked at black foxes running
away have never shot one.
According to the tales Of old hunters,
there is a black fox which may be seen
at rare intervals among the hills of Ded-
ham and Otis. Men who have placed
hounds on it's track assert that the ami
NAL never stops to play with the dogs
by circling, but makes bee line due
east, running rapidly until the last pur-
suer drops from fatigue. Perhaps the
fox seen of late along the road leading
to the Whales Back is the same ami
