of me. Hev you decided on about how
much you'll pay for my gravestun, Sam
uel?''
MIR. Gallup had picked rusty iron hoop
up out of the grass and was busy driving
it over the barrel and even if he heard her
he did not think best to answer
''There-there' another thing | wanted
to talk about" said Mrs. Gallup as she
wiped her eyes and choked back her sobs.
''l've been dyein' my hair fur the last five
years. If they don't hev hair dye up in
heaven donl know what I'm gon' to do
And what about night-caps, Samuel? I've
worn one for the last twenty years, and if
they don't supply EN- to angels | shall hev
the earache as sure's as your born. You
are justice of the peace and orter know
about these things and I wish you'd tell
men
But Mr.. Gullup didn't. He Strengthened
up and cast glance at Mrs. Gallup. hut
he had nothing to say she sobbed three
sobs and shed four tears while waiting, and
when it was apparent that he had no opin-
ion to advance, she said:
Mrs. Bebee says if she was to die and
Bebee was to marry again she'd cum back
as spirit, and haunt his wife, but that's
not my way. You kin git one as soon as
you please after Pm gone, and | won't
pever bother her. | s'pose you paint the
kitchen floor fur her, and if she wants the
pig pen whitewashed twice a year YOU
won't say word. There's and another
thing about angels, Samuel When they
are tookin' sick in the night whats done
fur 'em and who does it? And | was
thinkin' only this mornn' that | never
tried to fly in all my life, and tat I'd breal;
my neck unless | was introduced to some
angel who'd show me how to flap my
Wings
Mr.. Gallup had driven on the hoop and
he now moved over to take the sag out
of the woodshed door. Mrs. Gallup squoze
out six tears, took hearty snuff of the cam
phor, and rose up to say.
'Mehhc the clock stopped hecaus, it was
run down, and maybe the wind blowcd
that yaler bowl off the table, und pei

Would you be disappointed, Samuel, if

on till arter I've made my cucumber pick

and see whether Pm goin' to die rnot"
Mr.. Gallup didn't know when she went,
being busy at the door. He had propably
foagotten that such woman existed when
she called to him half an hour later, from
the kitchen door:

OF Virginia are aware of the great proper
olohs TO which the soft crab fishery Of
Pocomoke and Tangier sounds have at
tanned iii recent years. The United States
commissioner estimates that $40 600
worth OF crabs are sold at Crisfield an
nually, and it is safe to say that half of
these are caught in Pocomoke and Tangier
Sounds by Maryland crabbers.
These waters are considered the best
grabbing grounds in this entire section of
the Chesapeake, but until this wear they
have been given over entirely to the Mary
landers. Every boat engaged in grabbing
should he registered, carry number
plainly marked on the bow and sail and
pay license tax. The boats could thus be
easily identified in case of any violation of
the law. The grabbing industry in this
section OF Virginia amounts annually to
$500, 600.
In regard to oysters he says the belief
that the oyster rocks of Virginia or any
other state are inexhaustible, is erroneous.
lrrefutable evidence is is found on every
hand that our rocks are fast being depleted,
and unless a general 'strike" of young
oysters soon occurs, the industry depend
ing on the supply will be badly crippled.
There are thousands of acres of bottoms in
the Chesapeake Bay proper that are profit
less because our citizens have neither the
capital nor the experience needed for deep
water planting. To prevent non-residents
from leasing this area is to pursue 'dog
in the manser' policy, and results in rob-
bling ourselves of revenue. Oyster plant
ing is farming. 1t is the duty of our citi-
Zens to make the waste lands productive.
lie recommends that the police boat POGO
moic, in view Of the good record made by
the ''oard of the Chesapeake, be placed on
the Atlantic side He alleges that the
oystcrmen me not paying their taxes
promptly, and that they are so small that
it is net unjust to attribute it 10 unwilling
ness, and not inability.

DECREASE OF
BAY FISH.
Report OF the Virginia Commits
SiOner of Fisheries.
He Predicts That Unless the Authorities
Take Better Precautions to Protect
the Spawning Fish From the
Greed of the Fishermen, the
Industry Will Soon Be
Practically Destroyed

Advance sheets of the annual report of
}. W. Bowdoin, commissioner OF fisheries
of Virginia, to the governor secured from
the State printer is full OF interesting data
to all concerned in the Chesapeake. The
reports shows strong fight between greed
OF the fishermen to eXterminatc the val
liable fish OF these waters and the efforts
of the commission to supply the deficiency
1t is in this direction chiefly that these
Efforts have been directed, and Spanish
mackerel is the species selected. Pound
nets in the lower part of the bay are re-
sponsible for their decline from third to
ninth place in importance since 1sSO. Six
a half million small fry" of this fish were
liberated in the bay last season. The
commissioner speaks with alarm OF the
rapid decrease of all the finer varieties of
fish due to the slaughter of grayid fish,
which he saws is an outrage of growing
proportions that the pound nets on both
sides the bay up to the Maryland line have
increased SO enormously in numbers that
not enough spawning fish can get by to
keep up the supply. The shad is an en-
ception as to abundance and the catch is
increasing rapidly, due to the large plants
of fry in the headwaters of the bay and its
tributaries and the improved method of
capture. Next to the oyster the shad is
the most important fishing product OF this
region. The commissioners is especially
vigorous in his condemnation of fish de
struction, and says if the authorities do
not take hold of the matter and make and
enforce laws for the better protection of
spawning fish, all our finer varieties will
soon become scarce as terrapn. The time
was when there were plenty of terrapn in
all the bays and estuares of the ocean,
Greed led fishermen to take the gravid
mother, and now terrapin is worth almost
its weight in gold. lie thinks the hand of
the fish commissioner should be strength
ened by legislation which should render
the removal of pound nets and all other
forms Of destructive apparatus at the
proper season possible, and the propagation
and distribution OF young fish encouraged
to the fullest extent. The United States
commissioner OF fish and fisheries estimates
that the yield of the shore fisheries
exclusive OF shell fish, crustacean and
reptilian fisheries, amounts annually to
$685., 090.

Gladness Comes

M}ith better understanding Of the
w transient nature of the many phys
ical ills, which vanish before proper eff
forts-gentle efforts-pleasant efforts
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge, that so many forms OF
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply TO a constipated condi-
ton of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why IL is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. It's beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness without facilitating the
organs on which II acts. II rs therefore
ell important, in order to get its bene-
fetal effects, to note when you pur-
chase. that you have the genuine arti-
Gle, which is manufactured by the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. only and sold by
all reputable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, laxatives or
other remedies are then not needed. II
afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but IL in need of laxative,
one should have the best, and with the
well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
