A few days g John A. Storms. OF
Ailendale, discovered a rudeiy con-
structed seat among the branches OF an
old oak in his timber patch. The perch
is forty feet from the ground, and no.
body in A%ilendale had IN recollection of
its origin. A coil of decaying roDe living
at the foot OF the tree seemed to afford
some clue to the means by which the
builder of the bench had assembled to his
eyrie, but whether the rope succumbed to
a weight or fell beneath the strain OF
time cannot be ascertained. Mr.. Storms
climbed the tree, aud directly under the
seat he found, cut into the trunk, the
words, please remember this tree" Mr..
Storms says he will remember it, aud
when he suits down other timber he will
instruct the woodman to spare that tree.

GOOD OLD WHALING DAYS

As Remembered by an Ancient Mariner OF
'Sconset.
From the Fitchbur9 Sentinel
A number Of fishermen we're telling stories of
their early DAYS in the quaint little village of
Siasconset. There were a number of summe,
visitors in the room and they seemed to enjoy
the yarns which were being spun immensely.
Finally an old, dried-up man. with purple won
on his neck and a handful of white chin whis-
kers. said:
Talk about the whaling days in Siasconset,
why. l can remember when the whales were
SO thick around here that it was a common
thing for them to crawl up on the shore like
turtles to sun themselves
''How long ago was that?" asked an anxious
bystander.
about forty years ago" replied the old man
land in those days the whales had oil in them
| too that was worth talking about. have seer
| them tap whale and by the time the oil wa
out of him there didn't seem to be skin enough
| left to cover a base ball. But now they are
kinder non-explosive."

asked a bystander, as he handed the hoary
grandsire Of Siasconset flask with which tc
warm himself up bit.

wick in one of them and Lit it it would burn 70,
almost six months"
The crowd became attentive as the old man
| continued.
"We used to burn chunks of whale in the
stove and it made the finest fire you ever saw.
We had the whale or part Of one hanging up
like sheep in the back yard and whenever we
wanted to start fire we would just step out
with Ratchet and chop chunk or two that
would fit the stove-T'

Don't mind if do" replied the ancien,
! Siasconseter.
Here he took good pull, and, handing the
flask back. continued in q sad, reflective tone,
.! once knew an old whaler who has been
dead manv years. His end was very sad"
'How did he die2' asked q bystander,
''Killed by whale" said the grandsire Of
| Siasconset.
"Out on the water, Of COURSE" suggested the
stranger.
"No, out in his back yard"
Hit him with his tail?''
"No," replied the Siasconset romancer. sYor
see. the old man hauled of at the whale witl
"And the whale bit him in half before b.
could striker
mot much; the whale was dead"
"Ihen how could he have killed your friend?'
"This way" said the old man deliberately
He dropped q spark by accident out Of his
pipe and it fell upon the whale. The whale
exploded like kerosene lamp and scattered my
friend from Siasconset to Tuckahoe. Az it wai
night the ocean was lighted up for miles, and
over at Martha's Vineyard they thought Nan
tucket was having its FIRST volcano. I tell yor
the whales in the old days were" Hero tn.

First boy-"Old johnson kept You in.
know what's the matter with YOU
Second boy-"Don't care if he did. Old John
sons a dandy good Teller.
Now, why is Ryder o sneak and johnson a
dandy good fellow Ryder may not pun
ish as much as Johnson-that is not the
point. The trouble is that Ryder does not use
fair methods Of warfare-at least the boys
think he does not-and johnson does. 1t seems
to be inevitable that warfare should exist be-
tween the teacher and his pupils, but it can be
warfare where both sides respect one another
and do as little injury as possible. The best
way for teacher to please children who are
under him ia for him to always be fair, and II
he expects his scholars to be straightforward he
must be SO himself. He must never show q
preference for one boy or girl over another,
and yet must show an interest In all. He ought
to have great brain, a large heart, keen per-
ception Of character and a strong within short,
a teacher should be model man. When par
ents stop and consider the enormous and far
reaching influence that teachers have over chill
dren they ought to be willing to pay them al
most any salary. The truth il that the men
who ought to be teachers seldom are able to af-
ford It, They can make more money at almost
any other profession.

been published, on each mortgaSed farm the
annual interest amounts to ella, which il easily
taken care OF by the natural increase Of farm
stock. In several counties in Ohio the average
annual interest charge on each farm is S97, or
not much less than in Kansas the state that
has gained some notoriety on account OF its
mortgages. In Maine the average amount Of
annual interest per farm is only s3s.
CONTRAST BETWEEN NORTH AND SOUTH.
The most striking contrast Of all is between
the north and south. In the north the mort
gage is often the FIRST thought Of man who sets
out to own real estate or to carry on some
undertaking, and a greater or less amount Of
success generally follows: but in the south,
outside OF towns, real estate mortgage is
rarity and almost any other kind Of security is
preferred, because agricultural land has too
low productiveness and little or no sale on
this account. In looking over the figures for
the south and the north the hastily popular
conclusion will be that southern farmers are in
much happier circumstances than the northern
and western farmers, because very few Of their
farms are mortgaged; while, il the truth were
known, this is so because the southern farmers
cannot mortgage their farms. since creditors
VIII not take farm security until they have ex-
haustei crops, farm stock and other personal
property as securities.
So far as the popular abuse Of the mortgage
is concer led the sum of the census investiea-
u
OF good judgment in q legitimate pursuit is q
good thing. 1t would be better, Of course, that
the wealth that he has borrowed should be
owned by him free from obligation to repay; but
since he has not saved his wealth. it is his good
fortune to be able to obtain the use Of IL and
by using 1t make it return the interest
which he is under obligation to pay the lender,
while leaving him some surplus in a large ma
1ority OF instances. The just comparison is not
between the condition of the morgtagor az such
and his condition as it would be il he owned his
property free from debt; but il is between the
condition Of the morgtagor and his condition rs
1t would have been had he not borrowed. The
mortgage has been abused Just as commercial
credits have been abused; but, at the same time
both mortgages and commercial credits are con-
duclve to the interest of the people and merely
forbid that there shall be stupidity or reckless
ness.
The vast amount of statistics that will be de-
rived from this investigation will eventually
pass out Of the hands of the politicians to be
considered by social scientists. The informa-
ton is so novel that it opens up new field in
social science and will throw a vast amount of
light upon some of the questions that have not
yet emerged from abstract theories.
