Talmage on Newspaper Men.

Rev. DIR. Talmage has had enough
experience in newspaper work to Ell.
able him to form more or less correct
estimate of journalism, and the follow.
ing extract from one of his recent ser
mons shows that he has given the mat.
ter some thought, He said:
Zone of the greatest trials of the
newspaper profession is that its mem
bers are compelled to see more of the
sham of the world than any other pro-
fession. Through every newspaper of.
flee day after day go all the weak nesses
Of the world-all the vanities that want
to be pulled, all the revenges than want
to be reaped, all the mistakes that wall
to be corrected, all the dull speakers
that want to be thought eloquent, all
the meanness that wants to get its
wares noticed gratis i'm order to save the
tax of the advertising column, all men
who want to set right who were never
right, all the crack-brained philosophers
with stories as long as their hair and as
gloomy as their finger nails in The
morning bereft of soap-all the bores
who come to stay five minutes but talk
five hours. Through the editorial and
reportorial rooms all the follies and
shams of the world are seen day after
day, and the temptation is neither to
believe in God, man nor woman. 1t is
no surprise to me that in this profession
there are some sceptical men. l only
wonder that newspal er men believe
anything.

Mrs. Black and the Big Fish.

The highest piscatorial honors to any
woman at Sunapee Lake came to a
Bellows Falls lady last week. On Thurs
day evening at about 6 o'clock Mrs. G.
w. Black and Mrs. J. r. Blood were
fishing in quiet manner when the
five ounce steel rod of Mrs. Black sud
denly bent down and was carried under
her boat beyond all common angles.
Mrs. Black quickly took in the situa
ton. She was in or over about 10 feet
of water. The reel to her rod would
spin out so feet like an old style
spinning wheel, then the winding up
of the reel only to repeat another spin.
1t was evidently very gamey fish
First under and then beyond the
)at, afterwards two winds about the
anchor line, then came the unwinding
from the anchor and then-well the
exciting incidents were altogether toe
numerous to mention. Mrs. Black thus
played her game for nearly a half hour,
and N. S. Brockway being near in s
boat in which he had just left Great
Island, also G. w. Labaree in an.
other boat, she called for assistance.
Mr.. Brockway of course proved as
handy as Gen. Grant at Fort Donelson
and after further contest, lasting in
all three quarters of an hour, the "su
preme moment" arrived and the game
was landed in the bottom of the boat
1t proved to be most beautiful speci

much greater capacity than the old
ones and the firm will be in a condition
to do a much larger amount OF business.
Lieut.. +. ii. Lawton of the 2lst U.
S. infantry, in charge of recruiting sta
tions here and in Rutland, has received
orders to make a test bicycle run from
New York to Washington, bearing de-
spatches from Gen. Miles to the war
department.. A private will make the
run with him. Similar tests of the
availability of the bicycle for army uses
are being made at different points.
One man, Percy Reed, was enlisted
in the United States army at the re-
cruiting station last week, Sergeant
Weaver says that the applications are
numerous three or four every day, but
many who make application are ineli-
gible AT least dozen or Is have been
refused because they are not American
citizens. Some have lived in this coun-
try long number of years, yet have
never taken out their first naturaliza-
ton papers.
Abner Cunningham, an old and re-
spected citizen of this town living in
Saxtons River, is canvassing the town
for Darkness and Daylight, or Lights
and Shadows of New York Life" DR..
Lyman Abbott has written the intro
duction to the book and from the no
tices given by the press the book seems
to be one of unusual merit. Mr.. Cum
ningham has the reputation of being
an honest and needy man, and those
patlonizing him need not fear but that
they will be squarely dealt with.
In another column appears an ac-
count of the finding of medal bearing
the name of Franklin G. Pulsipher.
Over 80 years ago man. named Pulsi-
pher lived in North Walpole, who had
two sons, one of them named Franklin
g., and he is probably the man who
lost the medal, for he belonged to the
18th Vermont infantry. Pulsipher has
a married sister living in Keene, it is
said. Some member of the family will
doubtless investigate the matter.
Considerable excitement was caused
Tuesday evening by the sudden disap-
perance of Ernest Gosselin, the six
year old son of DR.. Gosselin, and En-
win Fifield aged 8 years. They disap-
peared about or o'clock in the after
noon and nothing was heard from
them until about o'clock, when a tele-
phone was received from Alstead say
ing the boys were over there. Young
Fifeld has an uncle % miles the Other
side of Alstead, and evidently made up
his mind to take trip. The boys must
have been given ride part of the way.
Henry Gosselin and MIR. Fifield went
for the runaways.
