A Good Story About HOLSTERS.

HOLSTERS is cur us critters" said an
old man whose weather-beaten face,
half concealed by an unkempt gray
q fisherman, at the Eastern Station the
other day. They're just as sensitive
as bile. and / callate they know an
almighty sight. Folks say as how
Holsters is trescherous, but allus found
if you treated 'em half as well as you
would dog they'd reciperate every
time. If you think you can pick
lobster up by the tail and drive spike
with him you make q big mistake, and
don't you forget it. A lobster is hu-
merus cuss, too, and he can appreciate a
Joke quicker'n two-thirds of the men.
! reckerlect case that proved this to
me once. l took some Boston chaps
out with me when / went to look after
my traps one day, and them fellers kept
teliin' funny stories all the way. When
we was comm back one of EN- told a
story the.other fellers called q chestnut.
There Wasn't no pint to it and nobody
laughed, but, just as true as I'm stand
in here, every one of them Holsters
in the bottom of the boat turned over
on their backs and acted sort of nervous
like They had all been quiet and
peaceful afore, and l know they saw
there want no fun in the story. An |
tell you boys, Holsters can be learnt a
good many things; was brought up
among 'em and | know somethin' of
their natur' Just look at this" The
old man picked up a big live one from
barrel that was awaiting transporta-
ton. and for few seconds held the
squirming, wiggling monster in the
palm of one of his hands Then he
Hoped it over, back upwards, and
rubbed its tail briskly with his other
hand. The fish slowly drew in its ugly
looking claws and subsidized into perfect
quiet, exhibiting no more signs of life
than if it had been boiled. There. +"
said the old man, ''that Holsters under
spell, as they call it, and he'll stay
Just 50 long as | want him to. ''-Bidde-
