BOY CAPTURES BIG PICKEREL.

Head es Huge Fish Sent to Game Commissioner’s Office. Indianapolis Star—The head of what is said to be the biggest pickerel ever caught in Indiana water was received yesterday at the office of the deputy state fish and game commissioner in the State House. By actual measurement the head is 9 inches long, 7 inches wide, 5 inches deep and 5% inches thick. The mouth is 6 inches wide and measures around the row of needle teeth just eleven inches. The big fish was caught about two weeks ago in the Kankakee marshes near Schneider, v It in by John Gaspar, a huntsman of that district, who tells the story of a small boy who found the big fish in the marsh waters, where it had evidently raced in chase of smaller fry. The boy captured it in his arms and in spite of flaps held on until he landed it. It weighed thirty-one pounds. Thia la the most dangerous time of the year to catch cold, and it is the hardest time to cure it If you should take a cold, a flaw doses of Kennedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup will act very promptly. Its laxative principle cures the cold by driving it from the system by a gentle but natural action of the bowels. Children especially like Kennedy’s Laxative Cough Syrup, as it tastes so good, nearly like maple sugar. It is sold by all druggists.
