time. Then the awful knkowledge that
they had eaten everything came upon
them. A believer in Christian Science
who was In the party said, Just think
you're not hungry All were glad to
do most anything to rid themselves OF
gnawing feeling, but the Christian Sci
ence plan didn't work very well. At
least 1t did not hush the wishes for
something to eat and several other
suggestions. The man who had made
the motion, earlier in the day, that
they eat, was nearly mobbed.
AS to the flshing-"there wasn't
any" said one last night. His word
is not disputed, for when the count
came, after the days sport, only one
man reported He was Howard Schaf-
fer and his string consisted of two lit
tie bass, or something of that order,
the gang was not quite sure, and a
mud turtle.
The return was made early In the
evening after another FIVE mile tramp.
The gentleman who laid bare the
tale of the days doings was not able
to state just how they divided up the
days catch.

TWO LITTLE BASS
AND A TURTLE LURED FROM
THEIR NATIVE LAIR,
BY Ten Big Canton Fishers--Now
What Was Each Ones
Share2

Wouldn't you feel like using some
pretty strong language, or something
of that order, if you had spent the
whole day fishing and had walked FIVE
miles to the scene, had not had a
bite of dinner and then the only re-
suits for the days sport (?) were two
little rock bass and -4nud turtle2
Wouldn't II drive man to fake up fish
stories to his friends? But then how
could you redeem yourself IL YOU had
been one of party of ten, who had
walked as far as stated above and
had gone without dinner and had only
two little rock bass and mud tlrtle
as days catch by ten big, hearty,
strong, husky fishermen?
That happened yesterday and the
fishers are well known nimrods. The
gentleman who is good authority for
the story wanted all their pictures
published so as to protect their friends
from long fish stories. Space does not
permit, but their nafes are here given;

ner, Howard Schaeffer, Charles Joliet,
Jack Sharp, d. w. Lerch, Charles Ro-
mey and ollie Smear. Capt. Adam
Reigler of hose house No. 4, was the
leader of the mighty nimrods, so the
story goes, and the guiding light to
the scene of the days outing, Aurora
lake, near Cleveland. He acted as Il
sort of press agent in enumeratlng the
variety and plenty of the fnny tribe
to be had there. All looked to Relg
Ter as the leader, but their faith in him
as such was blasted when he attempt.

find the path through the marshes but
lost his way I'm the muck and mire and
only after an hours work by the dill
gent nlmrods was their leader found.
The path once found the party trod
wearily on their way. YEARLY, be.
cause each was loaded with tackle,
bait and their dinner, etc. A mile of
the marshy land tramped and every
body was ready to rest. And then
somebody suggested that they eat
grub instead of carrying II on their
backs. The motion was carried and
all went TO the toothsome morsels,
etc. That was about o'clock. About
three hours later somebody indiscreet.

Worth Weight in Gold

Homestead, Pa, June 2.-Mr. Jasper
White, prominent and well to do
citizen of this place probably owes his
life to two little pills. Mr.. White, like
many others has long suffered with
constipation His condition became
such that no relief could be obtained.
Physicians advised an operation for
mechanical obstruction, as no move
ment of the bowels had occurred for a
period of 12 days. Mr. White was
about to submit, when a relative sug.
gested that he try remedy called
Blackburns Castor-Oil-Pills. He did
so, and in less than twenty-four hours
was relieved. Physicians marvel and
Mr.. White thinks these little pills are
worth their weight in gold. Qocal
druggists sell them)
