So many merchants advertise
prices so fabulously low, to draw
trade” and so many customers are c ”- n,ld '
now aware of the fact, that It is
done for that purpose only,—that
but little reliance is now placed in
advertising. Generally the articles
udvertiecd are “sold out” or are
a poor imitation of that which the
customer really expects. I will men
tion again to my friends, custom
ers, and those wishing to buy any
thing in the Dry Goods, Clothing,
Shoe, Hat and Notion line, that I
do no impossibilities, but that I am
enabled (through the way my goods
are purchased) to sell good goods
for less money than other mer
chants can buy them, at regu
lar prices at wholesale, and then it
leaves me a fair margin as a profit.
I am not selling off at cost, nor do
I sell at and below cost to make
room; on the contrary, I continue
to receive new and fresh bargains
daily. The latest arrival is a very
large lot of Hamburg lodging and
Insertion, that I am selling from 2
to 20c per yard, fully worth double
the amount asked.
Call early and get the choice.
Also a large lot of Ladies, Gents

surprised to find as last one place
where you can find goods at the

. “They fish with lines six miles
long,” says a writer in the New
York World, “In Winnebago Lake,
Wisconsin, and use 20,060 hooks
on every iine,” says a New York
fisherman who has been there, “and
if they don’t haul up 2,600 fish
every time they call it indifferent
luck; and every fish will weigh
from twenty to seventy pounds.
That’s the way they fish for stur
geon out there.
“One of these, lines will reach half
way across the lake. It is a rope
an inch in diameter. It is earried
out in the lake, largo buoys being
attached (o it at intervals to keep
it on the surface. The 20,000 hooks
baited with pieces of meat or fish,
arc lowered to the bottom of the
lake hy ‘snoods’of the proper length
attached to the line. It takes twen
ty boats, with two men in each, to
look after this big fish line. Each
boat has 1,000 books in its charge.
The hooks are placed eighteen
Inches apart, and to bait all the
hooks once requires not leas than
1,000 pounds of meat. It takes
the forty men and twenty boats ten
hours to let the line for the first
time. After that the fishermen are
constantly employed in going to
and fro over the line, hauling in the
sturgeon that have been caught on
the hooks, and rebaiting where it
is neccssarv.
“To haul in a 70-pound stuigcon
from the bottom of the lake is an
exciting piece of work, hut requires
more strength tbnn skill, as the
fish always has the hook several
inches down his throat, having
sucked bait and all down without
any regard to consequences. There
is no danger of losing the fish un
less the sifood or the book breaks.
When the fish is hauled to the sur
face a gaff, like a meat hook, is
thrust into the side ofits head,and
the sturgeon is drawn into the
boat and knocked in the bead with
a mallet. The hook is out out of
his throat, rebuked and thrown
back into the lake.
“The average catch of sturgeon
is olio to every ten hooks. When
a boat is loaded with all it will
carry of sturgeon tho fishermen
row back to shore, where others
take the fish and dispose of them.
The fishermen know the particular
sections of the line on which they
work by the arrangement of the
buoys. These aro placed ten feet
.otitbes and a p ar t t a nd every 160lh one is red.
The space between the red buoys
contains 1,000 hooks. The sec-
tions are numbered, and each boat
has its number corresponding with
the section it fishes. While the
avernge catch is one sturgeon to
ten hooks, it is no uncommon thing
for the fishermen to find but one or
two on an entire section of 1,000
hooks.
“The Lake Winnebago sturgeon
is highly prized among the lum
bermen and others lu the region.
Its flesh is finer and of better flavor
than the salt water sturgeon’s.
The flsh sells for six cents a pound
at retail. Large quantities are
salted and smoked for use in the
lumber camps.”

Tlie Century for July.
At a club dinner in New York
recently, an examining surgeon re
lated the following, incident, show
ing bow the arrears act developed
pensioners out of sound and unde
serving men. During the war he
was surgeon of an infantry regi-
incnt. When the regiment’first
went into battle be observed, sit
ting behind a big tree,, at a safe
distance from tho fighting line, the
captain of one of the companies.
“What are you doing here, Cap
tain?” asked the doctor.
“I’m not feeling wall," replied
the officer, in a doleful voice.
The surgeon was too busy look
ing after the .wounded to stop and
inquire as to his complaint. A few
weeks later tho regiment again got
under fire, and the surgeon found
tbe same captain skulking behind
a barn. ,; »
“Hello! slok again?" he exclaimod.
“ Well, the fact is, doctor, I am
not exsotly sick. I may as well
own up that jam (coward. There
is no help for.it. ’ll must be con
stitutional. Now, doctor, wbat is
the use of my staying in the army?
won’t you help me to get a/dis
charge?" '
The surgeon thought he was do
ing tbo country service when,.a
few days afterward, Le recommend
ed that the man be discharged on
the ground of general disability.
Ho hoard nothing of the captain
until sixteen years later, when ho
received a letter from the Pension
Office informing him that Captain
Blank bad applied’ for a pension
from the date of his muster-out,
and that as he, as surgeon of the
regiment, had certified to the disa
