No men are more unhappy than
those from whom circumstances have
removed the pressure which requires
hard work, and who have not had
either the willingness or foresight to
force themselves to tasks which call
Tor their best and utmost endeavor.
Often, indeed, it may seem that moth
ing would be pleasanter than a life of
luxurious idleness. but one has only
to see the victims of such living to
be d~isabused OF this delusion.
In this country the privileges and
responsibilities of great inherited
wealth have been but recently ex.
perienced. and the very newness of
such possessions has led many to
waste their lives in the futile quest of
pleasure. Luckily today more and
more OF the SOM of rich men have
grown to understand that they
lead a satisfactory existence only n
they live much as others do, using
their wealth rather to enlarge the re-
suits Of their work than to escape

In the seventies and early eighties,
Compton Schuyler was a prominent
figure, a man of affairs. in the New
York commercial world, and as for

man. Besides, he was of the old Dutch
stock; his home was a center of the
fashionable life of the city. Two beau

HANGED this attraction, so that the
name was really better known socially
than In a business way. At that period
his home was looked upon as a man
sion. and that young man who stood
IN the family's good graces counted
himself fortunate indeed.
1T was only an inevitable conse-
quence that the two Schuyler sisters
carried a long string OF suitors In
their train, they were social favorites
and enjoyed the supremacy which for
several years discouraged all idea of
matrimony.
Then conditions began to change.

small barred that has been well
plugged up and made water-tight. To
the end of the barrel is fastened q
large steel hook, baited with dried
fish. Several of these barrels, with
rope and hook attached, are put on
board a yacht and a start is made for
the noted shark grounds just outside
the harbor. On their arrival at the
shark ground the casks and lines are

Presently one of the barrels com

dance at a great rate, sometimes dis
appearing under the water and re-
appearing at a distance. Then a boat
Ia lowered and its occupants row as
rapidly as possible toward the float

circles and winding lines, the elusive
cask is pursued, and only after a
long period of hard rowing, sometimes
for hours, is it captured and towed 10

The tactics pursued at night are diff

feet long, is employed with the usual
hook and chain attached and baited Is
described above. One end or the rope
Is tied to the wharf and the we'll
baited hook is thrown a few yards
away into a shallow pool in the mid
die Of a patch of moonlit sand. Very
soon a dark object is seen gliding
like a shadow from the deep water
across the sand toward the pool and
hating a few feet from the bait, the
fishermen, of course, all sitting as still
as statues a little distance away.
When the fish has made a meal It
starts off back to the deep water

Then-and not until then-the men
jump for the rope and run with 1t in

water is now cut into foam as the
taut line is pulled through it, and the
shark splashes with great f~ierceness

Juggling men sway rapidly to and fro
until their efforts are at last trium-
plant, and the shark is hauled up on
the sand.

It is testimony like the following that has placed Doan's Kidney Pills so far above competitors. When peo- pie right here at home raise their voice in praise there is no room left for doubt. Read the public statement of Pine Bluff citizen:

A relative advised me to try Doan's Kidney Pills and a few doses soon relieved me. I kept on using them and I took about six boxes in all.
