A sAscoNsET FISH STORY.
An Old whaler's Delightful Way of En-
PERTAINING summer Visitors.

An Old Whaler's Deifghtful way OF En-
pertaining summer Visitors.
A number of ancient fishermen were
telling stories of their early days In the
quaint little village of Siasconset. There
were number of summer visitors in the
room, and they seemed 10 enjoy the
yarns which were being spun immense
". Finally an old, dried up man with
purple wen on mis- neck and handful
of white chin whiskers said:
Talk about the whaling days in Sias-
conset; why, can remember when the
whales were so thick around here that 1t
was a common thing for them to crawl
upon the shore like turtles to sun them
selves"
"How long ago was thaty 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 seen them tap a
whale, and by the time the oil was out
of him IL re didn't seem To be 81 N
enough lett to cover baseball. But
now they are kinder nonexplosive."
What do you mean by nonexplosive:"
asked a bystander as he handed the
hoary grandsire of Siasconset a flask
with which TO warm himself up Bit
Il mean" replied the Siasconseter as
he handed the flask back with smile,
'.that the whales used TO be so full of
oil that if you put wick in one of
them and lit it it would burn for almost
six months.
The crowd became very attentive as
the old man continued:
1--WE used TO burn chunks of whale in
the stove, and 1t 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 q
Ratchet and chop chunk or two that
would fit the stove
Have another drink? interrupted the
man with the flask.
Don't mind if do" replied the an
cient Siasconseter.
Here he took a good pull. and handing
the flask back continued in a sad, re-
Elective tone:
Il once knew an old whaler who has
been dead n great many years. His end
was very sad"
''How did he die" asked bystander.
KILLED by a whale" said the grand
sire of Siasconset.
''Out on the water of course" sug-
gested the stranger.
"NO: out in the back yard"
"Hit hmm with his tailG"
"No." replied the Siasconset rornancer.
"YOu see, the old man hauled off at the
whale with bis hatchet"--
"And the whale bit him in half before
he could striker
"Not much: the whale was dead"
"Then how could he have killed your
ancient friendy'
This way, said the old man DELHI
erstely; "he dropped spark by acct.
dent out of his pipe and it fell upon the
whale. The whale exploded like ker.
osene oil lamp aud scattered my friend
from Siasconset 70 Tuckshoe.
"As il was night the ocean was light

Vineyard they thought Nantucket was

Here the oh Siasconseter looked
around to find that all HE hearers had

and often one of these is the distance
from the drug store. Before leaving
town for the country the mother
should procure a sufficient quantity Of
lactated food. The purity of milk,
even in the best surroundings, is always
open to question. because it absorbs

always pure and sweet and nourlshing,
and as every one knows. is, next TO alb
solutely pure mothers milk, the safest
and altogether the best food for in

Baby's second summer is always the
most trying. 1t is cutting its teeth,
and the irritation combined with the
heat makes life no easy matter. 1t
must be carefully watched, and upon
the first suggestion that the diet Is un-
satisfactory, lactated food should at
once be substituted.
Most physicians and nurses advise
mothers TO wean their babes upon lac
tated food. and experience has shown
that that is the safest way.
DR.. j. II. East of Rising City, Ne
braska, whose sturdy and handsome
children are shown above, says:
al have gwen several of the foods a
thorough trial in my practice, and am
convinced that lactated food is the
easiest dlgested and the most nourish-
ing of all. My two children were
raised entirely on lactaied food, and
their good health is the envy of parents
who have used other foods. Iprescrlbe
the lactated food freely, both for
infants and iny8lids."

Pittsburg dispatch. [volume] (Pittsburg [Pa.]) 1880-1923, 1892-12-22
TIE FREIGHT QUESTION.

The question of determinations against
Pittsburg, which is in the hands of the
Chamber of Commerce committee, is
one that has been perennial in our city,
and has been constantly vital to il. 1t is
a summary of our industrial history for
the past eighteen years that in proportion
as these determinations have been ap-
proXimately removed or lessened Pitts
burg's growth has been greatest; in pro-
portion as they have been maintained or
increased, Pittsburg's growth has been re-
tarded or checked.
At present the old vice of favoritism by
which especial firms secured rates which
guaranteed them supremacy in trade is
largely absent from the problem. Whether
the crippled condition into which the inter-
State commerce law has fallen will main
tain that state of affairs is question not
pertinent in this article. That enactment
to be credited up to the present time
with having placed the shippers in various
lines on practical equality as far as
freight rates are concerned. The dis
examinations to be amended are those
which place Pittsburg as an industrial
center at disadvantage in competition
with other communities.
Such Determinations, while. free from
the cruel injustice by which the railroad
elevates its favorite to wealth and con-
demns his competitors to adversely, are, it
is easily recognized, of the most vital i'm
portance to the community. If railroad
policy establishes permanent advantage
to Buffalo, for example, of 10 or 15 cents
on the mass of shipmentS-aS was shown
in the columns of The DIsPATCH-it
shows that railroad policy is either unwit-
tingly or deliberately doing its best to
build up Buffalo at the cost of Plttsburg.
Or, if the railroad schedules make it
cheaper to ship iron and steel in the cruder
forms than to manufacture them into the
most finished shapes and then ship them,
the tendency inevitably must be to locate
the higher forms of manufacture at the
point where the freight rates will most
favor it
The investigation now going on will de-
velOp the causes of complaint to exist
chiefly in these directions. There may be
other complaints; there will possibly be
some that are not well-founded But on
the line of Determinations that affect the
entire business interests of the commu-
nifty there is no doubt of the necessity for
thorough inquiry and urgent efforts for the
remedy.
A policy of enlightened seIfshness
should induce the railroads to rectify
these inequalities as soon as they are
pointed out; but, as the fetters of the pool
ing policy will probably prove of more
weight to the railroads than the mamte-
nance and stimulation of their traffic in
this city, our business men should further
ask themselves the question what is to be
done if the railroads refuse to give the
city fair rates.
