DO you know how easy it is to
remove those ugly spots SO that no

Simply get an ounce Of Othine,
double strength, from your druggist
and q few applications should show
you how easy it is to rid yourself Of

have strong tendency to bring out
freckles, and as result more Othine

Ike Walton famous. Well, If fish
ing made old Isaac famous, our friend
Perry is at least making fishing fam
Gus, because he can tell some stories
that the famous English angler would
have been glad to have given space
in his books. Perry tells of nine,
twelve and even thirteen pound rain
bow trout and we may rest assured
that no fisherman would stop on that
number thirteen. We are sure that
Perry did not consider this when he
wrote that unlucky word, and any
way the fish probably was under
estimated. Perry is right in the por-
cupine belt, too, and he backs up his
friend Ralph Alvord by stating he
never saw one rolled up in leaves,
as protection against the winter
season. He says that he saw num-
bers of them in the trees last win
ter, peeling bark, and that some. of
then fell off and landed in the stew
kettle. If anyone wants one for an
ornament Perry says he will endeavor
to supply it. There is, however, one
note of sadness in Perry's letter. He
says that he was fishing from his
boat on a recent day, and under the
influence of the sunshine, yes, he
said sunshine, and the balmy breezes
from the pines and blossoming clover,
fell asleep. He dreamed that all the
trout in the AuSable were holding
an indignation meeting over his in
vasion of their domain and thought
they had him cornered in the middle
of the stream and were crashing
their teeth at him. There were trout
there as large of walrus and their
shouts bobbing everywhere above the
water made the surface to resemble
huge kettle of boiling doughnuts.
Perry himself felt like nut and
for safety crawled up into the fore
peak as far as he could get, holding
on to his steel rod meanwhile in or
der to defend himself in event of
the assault which he felt would soon
be made upon him. Just then a
great trout, which suddenly assumed
the shape of an airplane, leaped from
its perch (perch there, too) in the
branches of a tree and made a snap
at the fly at the end of Perry's line,
which he had forgotten to remove
from the water. Perry felt tre-
menduous yank, and awoke, relieved
to find that it was all dream ex-
cept about the yank and the pole.
The latter was gone and he has never
seen it since. He says that whoever
catches that big fish will get along
with it five dollar rod, seven dollar
reel and three dollar line. This makes
us mad. To think that one of them
AuSable trout should treat a Clio
fisherman in that owdacious manner.
And so, we have written right back
to Perry and told him to engage ac-
commodations for US, if possible and
if it can be arranged we will go up
and reclaim the stolen property as
we'll as the piscatorial reputation of
the community. P. S.-Perry says
that he does nothing but catch and
fry fish and that he would like to
change his undershirt. but can't pull
it off owing to the fish bones stick
ing through it.

SOCIAL CIRCLE

The social circle met with Mrs.
Eva Benjamin last Thursday. There
was a good attendance of members,
and visitors also were present, the lat
ter being always welcome. About IL
o'clock the people commenced to
come with baskets which loaded the
table with a wonderful lot of good
things to eat. Mrs. Benjamin and
daughters, Mrs. Moran and Mrs.
Gerwolds did not spare any means in
serving the bountiful dinner. After
dinner we had our business meeting
and then the committee was given the
floor. They furnished couple of
snappy contests which racked our
brains to solve. Mrs. Benjamin and
little Gertrude Moran won the prizes.
Then the little folks did their part,
giving some very nice recitations
and singing; also Mrs. Price gave a
recitation and May Pound sang a
verse and told story in deaf and
dumb signs, which was wonderful.
All went home satisfied that they had
greatly enjoyed the day. Our next
meeting will be with Mrs. Grace
Burch, at Mt. Morris, July 14th. Let
all be present that can, as we have a
very good committee for that day.

PIONEER OF THE FORTIES

The Messenger was favored few
days ago by a visit from our ven
cradle friend. Philip Van Patten,
who, being in a reminiscent mood,
| gave us some interesting glimpses
of the early history of Pine Run and
! its environs. Mr.. Van Patten, be it
known, is 81 years old and has been
resident of the vicinity of Pine Run
since 1874, when he came there with
his parents. To give you an idea of
how far away that time is, let us
say that it is seventy-seven years
ago-about the span of very long
lifetime. In that year, 1874, James
X. Polk. the eleventh president of the
United States, was elected. The 18th
president is now in office. Mr.. Van
Patterns first presidential vote was
cast for James Buchanan, in 1856.
and it is the only vote of the kind
for which, he says. he is ever impelled
to apologize. Buchanan preceded
Lincoln in the presidency and it is
the popular impression that he favor
ed the South in its preparations for
war and the destruction of the
Union. Mr.. Van Patten knew Pine
Run in the wild and woolly days, so
to speak, when the lumber mills were
buzzing, red Ticker plentiful and
money scare. The relative value of
money and Ticker can be judged from
his statement that a whole gallon of
the latter could be bought for zoe,
just about the present price of coal
oil, and it is said a man could get
cit up" with it whole lot quicker.
The scarcity of money and plentitude
of liquor may have had something
to do with the frequency of litiga-
ton. because every little settlement
in those DAYS had its pettifogger or
two, generally two, who fought eX-
citing legal battles before his honor
the local esquire" or justice. and
heaped abuse upon each other and
their respective clients. Outlines
preparations for fifticuffs enlivened
the proceeding between the opposing
counsel and required the restraining
influence of the Judge. Pine Runs
two lawyers in the early DAYS were
f. B. Sparks and Oscar Bradley and
many we're the hard fought battles
between them. One of the principal
hotels and dispensaries of the early
days at Pine Run was known by the
romantic title Of the Jackass Tavern.
kept by a proprietor of the name of
Coonrod. This popular hosiery took
its name from pair of jacks driven
by the owner of the place. Now the
forests of majestic pines have faded
into nothingness. the hum of the saws
is forever stilled, the shuffling team
Of oxen is only a memory in the
minds of the aged and before Mr..
Van Patterns door stretches the mag
nificent, concrete Dixie Highway,
leading away and away to Florida
and traversed by innumerable auto
mobiles carrying an immense traffic.
Surely it is a wonderful panorama of
change and progress which Mr.. Philip
Van Patten can see with his minds
eye,

against British rule in Ireland, will
deliver an address on Irish affairs
