Certain persons who have visited Bur lington Beach and breasted the billows of Salt Lake in a sail boat once or twice without loss of life or detriment to their clothing have not hesitated to boast of their skill to Manager Hickey, who is something of a sailor himself; and when these persons come to grief, as they gen erally do, if they persist ir. the sailing habit, Col. Hickey alwajs takes a mean delight in spreading the particulars. It is easy to discern the influence of Hickey in the following interesting story which appeared the other day in the A'eirs: "Two of about the most prominent offi cials of the First National bank started out to test their efficiency as skippers the other day at Burlington beach. There was a stiff breeze from the 6outh and as soon as they slipped the cable their trim sail boat shot away from the landing wiih a snap. Of course they were delighted, and as theircratt bowled along with the pursuing breeze bulging itsspreading wings they felicitated theu. pelves upon the fact that there is noth ing more invigorating and enjoxuble than a stirring sail in a ready breeze. their trousers and waded around in tho mud to point their perverse craft homo ward, only to have it wheel about again and plungo its nose into the yielding mud. Manager Hickey sent a small boy across the lake 1 1 their assistance. The happiest moment of their lives was doubtless the ono that told them that their signal of distress had been sight ed, ai.d when they were piloted across the lake by the lad and onco again set their feet upon terra firma; although covered with mud and sopping wet they were about as happy as two boys with bran new red wagons. They had an ex perience more harrowing than the reading of tho Horr-Harvey debate, and were mighty glad they got out alive, aud with their reputations unsullied, for no one was near enough to hear what they said to each other or note the tone and tenor of their expressions of endearment for that boat and the breeze it obeyed n spito of them.

They navigated that wide ex panse of water in comparatively no time and had just made up their minds that they had a snap of it, but as soon as they struck the north 6hore a change came o'er the spirit of their dreams. They at once began to realize that this free coinage of wind was not exactly what they had been cracking it up to be. Neither were they in favor of the single standard variety of wind. What they needed was an elastic wind that could be maintained at a parity to bio' both ways or either way when needed. It was in vain that they headed their craft toward the opposite shore. It would persist in swinging around and plung iug its nose viciously into he margin of the lake. And the south wind seemed to gather strength and fling it into tho elemental effort to baflle their inclinations. Just what occurred to those two lonesome and much vexeu mariners on the lonely shore of the West Lincoln packing hjuse district it would be too harrowing to relate in de tail, but suffice it to say that after they had been over there about three hours and had time without number rolled up things, a pair of glasses and a beaming expression. The Pleasant Hour club selJom organ izes until late in the fall season, and it is not anticipated that it will depart from its established custom this year. There is, however, a great deal of inter est in the club, and it is expected that it will commence the season with a con siderably augmented membership. The Pleasant Hour club is now about a fifth of a century old. Col. Kelley, who has been ill for some time, is improving. Col. W. W. Wilson has returned from his eastern trip.

Hall's Catarrh Cure is the only positive cure now known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh being a constitutional disease, requires a constitutional treatement. Hall's Catarrh Cure is taken internally, acting directly upon the blood and mucous surfaces of the system, thereby destroying the foundation of the disea se, and giving the patient strength by building up the constitution and assisting nature in doing its work. The proprietors have so much faith in its curative powers, that they offer Ono Hundred Dollars for any case that it fails to cure. Send for list of Testi monals. Address, P.J.
