Fishermen In the employ of the Western Fish company made a remarkable catch 15 miles outside the Heads yesterday. While fishing from the Farragut they felt a hard tug on one of the lines and a few minutes later hauled on deck a giant sun fish. The fish weighed 300 pounds and meas ured five feet In length. As might be ex pected, he put up a hard fight. Sunfish are rarely captured off this coast, as they are natives of Japan. The big fish at-; traded a world of attention along the waterfront when placed on exhibition. .

From the Argonaut. The minister of a certain parish In Scotland was walking one misty night through a street of the village when he fell into a deep hole. There was no ladder by which he could make his escape, and he began to shout for help. A laborer passing, heard his cries, and, looking down, asked who he was. The minister told him, whereupon the laborer remarked: "Weel, weel, ye needna kick up slch a noise. You’ll no’ be needed afore Sawbath, an’ this is only Wednesday nlcht.” If Yon Are a Trifle Senelllve About tbe size of your shoes, It's a. satisfac tion to know you can wear smaller shoes by sprinkling Allen’s Foot-Ease Into them.

Start the New Year Right! , TART the new year with a clean mind and a clean body 1 Most people are very neat and clean in their outward •ppearanoe, but how about the inside? Are you clean Inside? And if not, how can you face the New Year with clean thoughts, clear intelli gence, a fair, Just, and bright mind, and your full shar%.of capacity for work and •njoyment. • • • The holidays are over and everybody's had a good time—perhaps a little too much of a good time. Over-eating and over drlnklng have been the rule ever since Thanksgiving Day. Many people get little exercise in winter And breathe much stuffy, over-heated in side air. At the same time they eat too much rich and Indigestible food, while fresh fruit and fresh vegetables are scarce in the market. So stomach and bowels are liable to bo over-taxed. * » * Clog up, stretch and paralyze the large Intestine by over-stuffing it with undi gested food, so it can not carry off the useless refuse, and it “backs up” the tewage, and compels the small intestine to absorb the poison of decaying matter, Instead of wholesome nourishment. That’s what must happen. Isn’t It plain •s day? What's the result? Nearly everybody “gains ip flesh" in the winter time, but it’s pussy fat — not healthy flesh and muscle. The liver gets Inactive; the bile doesn't “work off"; the eyes get yellow; the skin gets dead Uke putty and pale like dough, with boils, pimples, blackhead^, liver-spots to break the monotony. Dizziness, headaches, blurred vision, foul breath, sleeplessness and a temper ftka g wild cat make such persons very pleasant company to themselves and others. • * • But, you say—"I’ll take a course of Spring medicine to clean me out next April.” Not considering your duty to yourself and family, Isn't it certain that to leavs the body full of poison all winter, and then suddenly attempt to force out all Impurities by one violent attack is danger ous, absurd and unreasonable? * * * Keep clean inside all the time. That’s the simple solution. If you can not diet, or keep your mech anism going by proper exercise, the self evident alternative is to take Cascarets, the sweet, fragrant, harmless little vege table tablets, that "act like exercise" on your bowels, and gently but powerfully clean out and disinfect the whole diges tive canal. A Cascaret every night before going to bed will "work while you sleep ” and make you " feel fine in the morning." If you have been neglecting yourself for some time, take a Cascaret night and morning and break up the "constipated habit ” without acquiring a ” cathartlo habit.” • e • Cascarets are sold by all druggists. 10c, 25o and 50c. The 10c size trial box Is a neat fit for the vest pocket or lady’s purse. Be sure to get the genuine, with the " long-tailed C ” on the box and the letter* “CCC” on each tablet. They are never sold In bulk. * * • w met to our frienmi _We want to wad to oar friends a beautiful French-designed GOLD-PLATED BONBON BOX hard-enameled in colors.

Address Sterling Remedy Company, Chicago or New Verb In^ for feminine eyes This blouse was made ot liberty satin. It has gatherings on the shoulders, and the front is cut V-shape; trimmed with small revers ending in a small tie. The sleeves are plain, and pointed over the hand and finished with buttons. The vest and collar are made of allover lace. The waist Is made over a fitted . lining. Small Talk of Fads and Fashions The lapel Is seen on everything. Flannel waists are to be much worn. Ottoman silk is a favorite in millin ery. Skirts are narrow and trains posi tively skimpy. There will be an unusual demand for satin this year. The rage for things oriental is quite as virulent as ever. The modern muff consists of staring eyes and wagging tails. Schoolgirls wear immense flat hats of plush or beaver. Paris will make use of skunk as a trimming and in small furs. • Plum and prune color Is a favorite I In elaborate street suits. The one eyelet pump will be worn In [ the house all this winter. Peacock tints, beautifully blended, are the success of the hour. Most buttons now have a protecting ring of metal, bone or'horn. Buttons of all sizes are more em ployed than for years and years. Large headed hair pins and barrettes will almost cover the head. The two toned striped stockings are the most fashionable hosiery. French lingerie, brought over for brides, shows much less elaboration. Laces showing an intermingling of metal thread are fashionable. Furs to the flimsiest chiffons are be dizened more or less with braid. The Jabot of white net is still stylish with dressy tailor-mades. Brown is smart, but only in the lighter and more unusual shades. Though several sorts of overskirts figure, skirts proper are untrlmmed. Coat revers are long, often extending down almost to the waistline. The American Beauty waistcoat adds a smart touch to a black coat suit. One fad is the employment of black chllfon with colored cloth and silk gowns. Dog collars come In links of solid Jet or In links studded with cut Jet beads. It Is a noticeable feature of the gir dles that they all fasten at the side. It Is a fancy Just now to line fur coats with brocade in the shade of the skin. Single buttons at prices current in Jewelry departments are not at all un usual. Little neck pieces, composed of fur bands and ruffles, are the thing Just now. The walking suit that typifies the directolre adaptations has a coat which escapes the skirt hem by an inch. For tailor-mades ruching of linen, plaited tiny and extremely narrow—in fact, Just a line—is fashionable. In fur neck pieces the flat stole is accorded a second place by the newer shawl shaped capes that end at the waistline. A new chain girdle in various color combinations such as white and gold, blue and gold, taupe and gold, is very pretty. A smart coat is fastened across the waistcoat with frogs of green corded silk, slung from the buttons on the mitered cloth. Muffs are square, of bad form, and much larger than those of last year, when there was a return of favor to the smaller types. They are adorned with heads and tails, frequently in groups of three. WORLD'S HIGHEST CAFE IN SWITZ What la probably the highest restau rant In the world has been opened at the Elsmeer station of the Jungfrau railway in Switzerland. It Is 10,000 feet above sea level, close to the summit of the mountain. The food Is not cooked by means of ordinary fuel, but by elec tricity generated by the Lutschine wa terfall, deep down In the valley below. With an expenditure of 30 kilowatts of electrical energy It Is possible to pre pare a five course dinner for a party of 100 persons In a short time. The guests are accommodated In a large hall hewn out of the solid rock and heated by electricity. The view from the huge windows comprises mountain scenery, which for grandeur perhaps has no equal In the world. AUTUMN NOVELTIES. From Harper's Bazar. What are ‘'engagements?" They are the mitten sleeves of gauze, net, or lace which mould the forearm, eking out the three-quarter or half-length fabric sleeve, and half covering the hand. And the moyeneux? It Is that mid dle piece of waist trimming which In tervenes between the material of the dress Itself and the uppermost bit of lace that forms the collar, chemisette or tucker. Often the moyeneux Is of lace or filet, dyed to match the dress. It Is made over self-colored or light toned silk, such as cream, gray or flesh color. There Is a queer thing about debt, notes the New York Times.

From Everybody's Magazine. After a scorching day's work old Ben Smith lighted his corncob pipe and sat, down on the little wharf to rest. Near him lay an alligator, the visible result of his labors. A tourist from the north ap proached and loftily remarked: ”Ah, I see you have an alligator." No answer. "It is amphibious, Is it not” The tone nettled the old man. ‘ Amphibious, h—1!" he growled. ‘‘He’d bite yer arm off before ye could say Jack Robinson!” No Longer Secret. From the Chicago Tribune.

"I wish to engage you to paint my portrait.” “I shall be delighted, madam." “I want it painted with my new hat on." “Pardon me. madam, but I am not a landscape artist.” Horrid Things. From the Chicago Tribune. Mrs. Goodsole. I told the editors of that; paper X didn’t want them to print my pic ture, but they went right ahead and did It. Mrs. Chllllcon-Kearney. Yes; It was a mean trick. The picture looked Just like you, too, didn't It? What Bothered Him. From the Chicago Record-Herald. “Why are you so thoughtful, Dan iel?" askel the mother of the beautiful girl who had Just been married to a titled foreigner. “You know I’m to hand over *5,000, 000,” the bride’s father answered. “Yes; but curely you are not worried about that. You have *20,000,000 more, you know.” '■ "It ain't givln' up the money that I'm bothered about, but I wish 1 knew* whether It’s to be considered by our soninlaw as tribute or Indemnity.” Practical. “A young man has telegraphed me that he has Just wedded my daugh ter.” ”1 hope he's a good, practical man.” “I guess he Is.

From American Medicine. The economy of expensive foods Is ex plained by the fact that digestion, at least Sn man, is dependent upon flavors, without [which it la so defective that we do not ob tain the good of the food we swallow. As far aa experiments go, they substantiate These insertions, for the sight and smell of pleasing food starts the flow of digestive fluids, while disagreeable odors and sights |stop It. Delicatessen, then, would seem to bo staples, for they are necessary. The (talk of being ablo to subsist on a few cents a day Is simply nonsense and leads ko deterioration of health. What seems to bo extravagant In food purchases may be wholesome Instinct. The high cost of living Is partly due to the cost of the flav ors wo need. We recommend those Ideas lo our worthy dietetic Economists. Lay pien may not be so foolish as the physiolo gists themselves. “Who are them- people livin' door?" asked Mrs. Gadsby’s Uncle) , am. "X don't know,” she replied. "I s'pose they've Just moved In?” “No; I think they have lived there for a good many years." "Ain’t they decent?" “I really don't know. I have never heard anything about them." “Hm! Gos’i! You people must be mighty well ofT.” "What has our financial condition to do with the people who live next ;door?” “Why, you don’t seem to ever have to borrow anything." ’Twas Coming.

The man was doing all the rowing, and, linally turn ing to his helper, asked him If he couldn't row. “No, boss.” was the re ply. So the man did all the rowing, and when he had caught all the fish he iWanted, rowed to the shore and climbed the bank with the fish. Turn ing around, he saw the negro rowing the boat away with vigorous strokes, and, calling to him, said: "I thought you told me you couldn’t row?” "Oh, did you mean pull de boat, boss? I thought you meant could I ro’—like a lion.” Omitted. The two old neighbors had met on the street. "Mornln’ Sam,” said the first. "I hear your son Bill has got through college successfully.
