Great Stream fvr Trout.

The Russian river in Alaska, which
empties into the Kenai about sixty
miles from Seward, is probably with
out an equal as a trout stream in the
world. Unfortunately it is difficult to
get to and few fishermen know any
thing about it. The stream would be
called q creek in the states, being
about 60 or 70 feet wide with an av-
erage depth Of five feet. 1t contains
both rainbow and Dolly Warden trout;
although the latter do not rank as
game fish among Alaskan anglers.
It is not difficult for skillful an
gler to land 20 rainbows in a fore
moons fishing in Russian river, not one
Of which will run less than three
pounds, while a fair proportion will
exceed six pounds. Fritz Won Posth,
miner, caught rainbow III this stream
last summer weighing a shade under
% pounds. These rainbows are fight
ers to the last ditch and wise to the
nth power. A novice in fishing would
soon be driven to desperation, as he
would get a strike at practically every
cast but no other tangible result than
snapped lire or broken rod. BY using
q large hook and big bait the smaller
trout are entirely avoided.

Trap.Shootinq at Night.

Trap shooting by night has been
found perfectly practical at the Pale
Face Gun club at wellington, Mass,
where the trap boxes Of one range
have recently been equipped with two
75O-watt lamps which illuminate the
clay pigeons as they are hurled from
the trap. The lamps are installed at
each side Of the trap, parallel to each
other, and thoroughly light up the
area into which the pigeons are flung
to a distance of about forty feet from
the trap. 1t is claimed that trap
shooters are able to make better
scores wher shooting by this light
than by daylight.

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Not long ago
man came to me who was nearly half
a century old and asked me to give
him preliminary examination 1Or

vitality as a young man; In fact Il
young man he really was notwithstand-

would only throw away patent medi-

take simple nuxated iron, am con-
vinced that the lives Of thousands or
persons might be saved, who now die
every year from pneumonia, grippe,
consumption, kidney, liver and heart
trouble, etc. The real and true cause
which started their diseases was moth
ing more nor less than weakened
condition brought on by lack of iron in
the blood. Iron is absolutely neces-
sary to enable your blood to change
food into living tissue. Without it, no
matter how much or what you eat,
your food merely passes through you
without doing you any good. You don't
get the strength out Of it ant as con-
sequence you become weak, pale and
sickly looking just like q plant trying
to grow in soil deficient in iron. II
you are not strong or well you owe it
to yourself to make the following test:

you can walk without becoming tired.

RELIABLE REMEDY
RESTORES KIDNEYS

For many years druggists have watched
with much interest the remarkable record
maintained by DR.. kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great kidney, liver and bladder rem
edy.
It is a physicians prescription.
Swamp-Root is a strengthening medl-
cine. DR.. Kilmer used it for years in his
private practice 1t helps the kidneys,
liver and bladder do the work nature in
tended they should do.
Swamp-Root has stood the test of years:
1t is sold by all druggists on it's merit and
it will help you. No other remedy can
successfully take its place.
Be sure to get Swamp-Root and start
treatment at once
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Adv.

Mulching grapes is good way OF
keeping down weeds and holding the

the very coarsest lowland hay there is
no mulching that will last for two
years, and so it is a good plan to re-

once starting with it is because it
brings the roots to the surface, and
after that is done they must be kept
covered. But where grapes are raised
in dry country and the patch is small
the mulch plan is about the best way
of raising them.

CARING FOR RHUBARB
Something Wrong if Satisfactory
Crop Is Not Obtained.
Apply Remedy This Year and Pre-.
vent Repetition of Same Trouble
Next Season-SuppIy Of Fer
tilizer Is Necessary.

How did your rhubarb bed do this
season? Were the stalks short or
slim? Were the leaves small and
ragged looking? Did it turn sickly
color and the plants wither or dwin-
1le away in the middle of the sum-
mer? If you did not have satisfac-
tory crop of this widely admired pie
plant, something was wrong. A rem
edy is needed, and since it is not
expensive or difficult to procure, sup
pose we apply it now and prevent
repetition Of the same trouble next
year.
It requires no particular kind OF
magic to induce this plant to grow,
and the earlier it produces the more
valuable it is for either market or
household use. find the greatest thing
for rhubarb is plenty of good stable
manure put on at this season of the
year, says a writer in an exchange.
It is an excellent idea to cover the
earth surrounding the roots to
depth of four inches. This nor only
enriches the soil, but protects the
roots and assists in producing on early
growth.
I never pack the manure down close
to the earth, for I think this helps to
make the soil sour, and also makes 1t
more wet, which, of course, Will cause
heavier freezing in severe weather.
A little straw with the manure will
act as a mulch and produce better re-
suits. A very slight sprinkle of salt
will do the beds good, but be careful
not to overdo this.
If the bed is of long sta hding, dig
up the roots, or at least portion of
them, and reset them In new. earth
in a new locality, say, about three
or four feet apart. Set in good,
strong roots, and be careful to have
the root crown we'll covered with soil.
Manure this new bed literally, and
it will pay you even next season for
your trouble, but from then on, for at
least five years, with liberal manuring,
it will yield excellently and the quail
ity will be fine.

Adams had been the man who set
Lorimcr on his feet. A genius without

appropriated by the man who hired
him for $50 a week. The patent flue
was his, as were the other patents.
Adams was widOwer with one daugh-

He had finally left Lorimer in rage,
because he wanted $40 week, which
Lorimer was disinclined to grant. All
that was before Miss Ferguson en-

Lorimer came home at two, and left
the Office at six. Miss Ferguson had
the keys; Lorimer never came back
after he had put on his hat and coat.

"But I'll give you hundred a week
