When the odors tirst discovered what a picnic Gogebic Iake was it was thought that the waters must soon become depleted. Yet.

Since so many thousands of tisues have been taken from the lake those remaining in it are found to bo fat. wHl fod, and an persistent and vigorous fighters as any black bass in tho world. It i a matter of great regret to tlie ani of this section that nature did not create such a resort witliia a few hours' ride of Louisville.

What wonderful tales of catolies would then be told: John T. Stier. 'the Bonnie, John Fowler and Tom Watts would give but little time to their business.

There is a probability that anothor year will joe a plonfr of fish in all the Kentucky streams. Tlie Kentucky Fish and Game Club hopes within that time to have everv stream in the StAte stocked with game llsh. This will only be done if assurance is given that the fish will be protected. Tlie Government will not furnish tlie fish if they are not to be carefully looked after, ncr will the Fish and Game Club plant tliem if they are to be seined out as rapidly as they are put in. la the days of the early settlers no State alonnded so freely in fish and game of all kinds as did New, instead of being a place a port e-nien seek, thes who live here go te other States where the game and fish are more plentiful.

Tlie enrly settlers of Louisville yet remember when nil the streams were filled with fish nnd tbe woods and mrad.ws alive with came. While there will never bi the amount of game there was when the subsistence of the people largely depended on whet they shot, trapped or hooked, tbe Fish and Game Club hopes to soon have a plenty for all who enjoy the fort as it is indulged in nowadays.

But we can't help that. We must have money; you must have clothes. You've got the money; we've got the clothes.

It wa justly entitled to it reputation, as mutt of its citizens were bliak-a nearly to death hy fevers of all kinds, especially chills of the worst form, while our doctoiM, lialt, Johnston, Kerguton, Itogers, wing, McDonell, Smith, Wantyn and a few others, combated it with tbe most villainous medicine that was ever jr the human stomach Peru vian Lucky (comparatively tpeaking) is the man or woman in those ditya, who has an attack of fever and ague, for with or without a physician, tru-y can help thi-nuwlve to the sovereign romdy of quinine capule, which in those dnys were entirely unknown. Indeed, with all the erudition of my distinguished friends, YandoU. Ialmpr. tJalt, Ouch-terlony, llollowell, Clieatham, Bodine, Bictiardson, and a host of others, I haev my doubts if they have ever soon or prescribed this bark in Its crude wtate to a patient. Knowing them as I do, any of them would give tho preference to champagne every time, if they had to take such physio themselves.

With this salutation I stop out of the arena, not wishing to break a lance with any of the medicos, as I have a kind remotn-branco of the fraternity from the quality and'quantity of mdlcine they have given me.

Now, we are not content with a postage of two cents, and want it down to one cent.

We are a strange people, but a great nation. In those days our ttip across the lieauUful river, to vhdt the spring- In tlie tear of Jeffersonville, which was once juita a fashionable resort, was somewhat ex-pensive.
