A 7s5 Pound sturoeon.

A female sturgeon OF great size was
caught by the steam trawler Rhodesia
on Sunday $50 miles northeast of the
More lightship. Its length was IL
feet inches, its girth 5 feet 4 inches
and its weigh, 735 pounds. The last
sturgeon approaching this one in size
of which there is record was taken in
July, 1905, and weighed 562 pounds.
At one time the sturgeon was con-
sidered so great delicacy that all
taken in the Thames belonged by roy
al prerogative to the sovereign, hence
the resignation of the royal stur-
geon." Up to about sixty years ago
sturgeon were frequently caught in
the Thames and at the beginning of
the last century one was taken from
the river as far up as London Bridge.

He was telling thrilling story out
of his wallet of a thousand and one
hairbreadth escares over in Santiago,
doncherknow, and his pretty listener
was leaning anxiously toward him,
hanging on his every utterance.
"The wolves were upon u.s." he
said, "hellowing and roaring, as l
havo so often heard them. We fed
for our lives. l don't deny it; but
every second we knew the ravenous
pack was gaining on us. At last they
were so near that we could feel their
muzzles against our legs
"Ah!" gasped ou' the lady. How
glad you must have been they had

curious to know what he did. He was
always laughing and joking with me
about his conquests among the women,
and teasing me about this woman and
that one being his girl And where
ever we went other people were al
ways guying him, and telling what
devil Of fellow he was among the

May, when | was in New York, | was
passing a place where there were
electrical devices for sale in the win

had photographs. They said no. and
asked if you get them of the Edison
Company and they said no, but there
was a dictograph company, and the
man got the telephone book and
hunted out the address, which he
wrote down for me.

conversation that had with the man
in charge l asked him if bought one
could l rely upon its being kept
secret, and he assured me that no one
coulO ever possibly Know ABOUT IL, as
they regarded all their transactions
with their customers as confidential.
With that understanding I bought it,
and consider that the company has
treated me very badly in breaking
faith with me and making the matter
public.
"Of course, I am sorry enough now
that I did install the dictograph, but
nobody could foresee this sad accident
that has happened in our house. AS
for the rest, everything that l have
heard over it, and have listened to
my husbands conversations with his
patients, has been perfectly proper
and of nature to allay all of my sus-
picions and renew my cnfidence in
him. In a word, / wanted to know
the real truth of my husbands rela-
tions to his patients, what he said to
them and they to him, behind those
closed doors, and l have found out
through the dictophone.
"On Monday night I had a head
ache, as said, and l wa not listen
ing, and so / heard none of the con-
versation that passed between my
husband and Mrs. Bailey. All that I
know was the sound of the shot, and
the horror-stricken cries in the house."

your feet? Want to get rid of them I?
Of course you do-and of course you
have been told of no less than AHA
way to rid yourself of them-but
here's the advice of DR.. L. K. Hirsh-
berg, of Baltimore: "Large, wide,
loose and well-ventilated footwear are
excellent cuers." Old stuff, is it?
Heard it before, eh? Probably. And
if it were followed some of our would
lose our pride and boast, our small
shoe and tiny foot. But we'd gain in
comfort and good temper, wouldn't
we? And, by the way, some of this
cold stuff" is worth considering.

dangerous or to be ignored merely be-
cause they are old, are they?
