' SURGICAL OPERATIONS
How Mrs. Brace, a Noted Opera
Singer, Escaped an Operation.
Proof That Many Operations
for Ovarian Troubles are Un
necessary.
“ Dear Mrs. Pixkiiam : —Travelling
for years on the road, with irregular
meals and sleep and damp beds, broke
down my health so completely two
years ago that the physician advised a
sufficient vitality, an operation for
ovarian troubles. Not a very cheerful
prospect, to be sure. 1, however, was
advised to try Lydia E. Pinkliam’s
Vegetable Compound and San
ative Wash;' I did so, fortunately
for me. Before a month had passed I
felt that my general health had im
proved; in three months more I was
cured, and I have been in perfect
health since. I did not lose an engage
ment or miss a meal.
“ Your Vegetable Compound is cer
tainly wonderful, and well worthy the
praise your admiring friends who have
been cured are ready to give you. I
always speak highly of it, and you
will admit I have good reason to do
bo.”—Mrs. G. Bruce, Lansing, Mich.

HUNTERS FEAR LYNX
SCOURGE OF CANAOiAN WILDS
A TERROR WHEN AT BAY.
Despite His Ferocity the Animal Will
Not Voluntarily Attack Man—Tree
His Refuge When Hard Pressed by
the Hunters.
Scarcely another animal presents
such a striking picture of savage hat
■ed, of uncompromising ferocity, as a
Canadian lynx at bay. That brutal
neat, with low forehead beneath
which two cruel eyes are blazing like
evil stars; that fierce display of
teeth between the parted wrinkled
tips, and the powerful, massive feet,
aiding flesh-tearing hooks of living
steel, all impress the beholder with
the fact that a personal encounter
with a Canadian wildcat must end in
death for at least one of the combat
ants.
Not that the lynx is specially ag
gressive in his attitude toward men—
far from it—and the stories of how he
follows belated hunters through the
overhanging branches of the forest
trees, seeking a favorite opportunity
to spring upon his human prey, are
products of the imagination. But
when after a chase he is driven to
take refuge in a tree, where he
crouches in preparation for his last
battle, I would prefer, unless armed
with a rifle, to interview almost any
other creature of equal weight.
Many years ago the Canadian lynx
was to be found in the mountainous
districts of New England, New York
and Pennsylvania, but now he is sel
dom seen far south of tie Canadian
border. He is to be met with in La
brador and is quite common in cer
tain parts of the Dominion, where he
Is hunted chiefly for his sk,n. -
He is splendidly adapted for the
wild life which he leads. Clad in his
thick winter fur, he can resist the
most penetrating cold, and when his
hunting luck is against him, as it
often is, his great vitality enables
him to exist for many days without
food. His methods of pursuing and
capturing his prey are very similar to
those adopted by the domestic cat.
That is to say, he usually either lies
In weight until his victims uncon
sciously come within jumping dis
tance or stalks them cautiously until
he is near enough to venture a swift
rush upon them. His great strength
of limb and his formidable teeth and
claws generally prevent any success
ful opposition on the part of his in
tended prey. He is a great enemy of
birds, particularly in the breeding
3eason, when he will often spring
upon grouse, wild geese and others
is they sit upon their eggs or as they
travel about hampered by their help
less little ones. He also preys upon
rabbits, hares and woodchucks, squir
rels, young fawns and even lambs,
and young pigs if they stray to a rea
sonable distance from the barnyard,
(t is doubtful if he ever voluntarily at
tacks man, but while wounded and
at bay he has first and last put a good
many hunters out of commission.
The Canadian lynx is a splendid
climber, and although he usually trav
els for some distance when pursued,
be generally takes a tree when hard
pressed. Here he is safe from prac
tically all his enemies but man.
Sometimes a wildcat will endeavor to
escape by leaping from tree to tree
to the ground, but it is remarkable
from what a height the creature can
leap without injuring himself. More
over, he is not the least bit discon
certed by the drop, but, alighting on
all fours, he is prepared to at once do
battle with his enemies. He is also a
good swimmer, and more than once
canoeists have been surprised to have
have him come aboard in midstream,
his idea, no doubt, being simply to
rest from his exertions. He is not
an easy problem for a dog to solve, as
he is one mass of bone and muscle,
and when engaged in fighting seems
to bristle with teeth and claw's. Nev
artheless, a dog with plenty of weight,
courage, and experience will generally
come out first best, although he may
look as though he had been put
through a cotton gin.
Attracted Observation.
An actor was accustomed to spend
fiis summers in Wilton, Me. There he
noted when, as the custom was, a
farmer “killed a critter," the liver,
Bweetbreads, kidneys, etc., were
thrown away. He offered to purchase
these delicacies, but, though he got
the goods, the sturdy farmer scorned
ils proffered gold. Not long after, he
jbserved as he walked through the
tillage that he was the cynosure of
ill eyes, and was followed by a won
dering if not admiring crowd, chiefly
jf the young.
"Aha!” thought he, "I cannot escape
my fame; my glory as an actor has
followed me even to this obscure
aamlet.”
And he was mightily puffed up till
le overheard one youth shout to an
Jther: “Bill, there goes the feller
what eats innards!”
Thought Fireflies Inflammatory.
The girl sat on the porch steps and
watched fireflies flitting about through
:he trees. “I wonder if it is true
:hat they get into the haymows of
parns and set fire to them,” she re
marked. The other people on the
porch laughed with scorn. “Well, I
read about it in the paper,” said the
girl, waxing indignant. “Only yester
day there was a piece that was
leaded: 'Work of Firebugs,’ and
then it went on to tell how a barn
lad been set on fire and was totally
destroyed.” And after this explana
tion she still continued to wonder
why the other people laughed.
The man who takes up a lot of
your valuable time Is seldom able to
take a hint.
Since the awarding on July 16, of
the first special semi-monthly prize
in the Auditorium stock contest at
Omaha, interest in it has been in
creasing rapidly. The prize, which
was contributed by the employing
printers of Omaha, was $160.50 cash
and was won by Ed. J. Hamilton ol
Wilsonvllle, Neb. The money form
ing the special semi-monthly prizes is
made up of gold, silver, nickel, copper
and paper money, aud then divided
and put into two sacks without being
counted. Mr. Hamilton's guess wus
$133.33, which was the closest to the
amount, $132.54— in the larger of the
two sacks.
August 1 the Commercial prize, con
tributed by members of the Omaha
Commercial Club, will be awarded to
the person guessing the closest to the
amount in the larger of the two sacks
into which it has been divided. Each
special prize is not leBs than $50, nor
more than $500, and under the plan
adopted there is absolutely no one
who can tell what amount is in the
larger sack until after It is unsealed.
Aside from the special semi-monthly
prizes, however, there is a great
deal of interest being taken in the
Auditorium stock contest. This could
hardly fail to be the case when there
are 1,001 prizes hung up, headed with
the Defiance Starch Co. of Omaha, and
the stock tickets are only twenty-five
centB. Of course only one person will
win the $5,000, and only one person
will win a $3,500 house and lot in
Omaha, but 999 other persons will
also win prizes, every one of which
will be worth many times the price
of a guess. Persons securing tickets
now also have free, an extra guess
on the next special semi-monthly
prize.
The regular prizes will be awarded
immediately after the election next
November, in the order of their value,
to the 1,001 persons guessing closest
to the total votes cast for all candi
dates for governor in New York State
November 4, 1902. The votes for all
candidates at the last five elections
for governor, from which estimates
of the 1902 vote can be made were:
In 1891, 1,165,085; 1894, 1,275,671;
1896, 1,434,046; 1898, 1,359,190; 1900,
1,556,520. Stock tickets, entitling the
holder to one share of common stock
in the Omaha Auditorium company,
with two guessing blanks, may be ob
tained at twenty-five cents each by ad
dressing the Omaha Auditorium com
pany, Omaha, Neb. In towns in Ne
braska and adjoining states arrange
ments may be made by responsible
persons to represent the Auditorium
company.
