GREAT UNDERTAKING.
The Cobbosscontee Hatcheryat Mon
mouth Has Been Completed.
p. 0. vickery. President Of State Association.
Will Sustain Il.

Hon. p. O. NiclSery, president of the
Wednesday. in company with the entire
fish and game commission. Messrs
Carleton, Stanley and Cakes, visited
the Cobbosseecontee hatchery at Mon
mouth. Now to start in fairly without
the history of said visit, there is some
thing that should first be told.
Mr.. Nickery wishing 10 have a first
class hatchery in kenncbec county, told
chairman Carleton Of the commission.
that if the State would build a hatchery
in Kennebec county, he, as president of
the State association, would pay all the
running expenses Of the same
Now, as to the real facts, Mr.. Wick
cry says that he was wonderstruck at
what had been done when he reached
the hatchery. He says that he has
visited many of the hatcheries of Maine:
that he has seen the government hatch
cries of Canada. namely those ON the
Saguernay river. and that never in his
life did he see so complete hatchery
as is at Monmouth, the capacity Of
| which is over 1,o00 600 fish
| Not only have the fish commissioners
erected a model Matching house, but OF
the stream connected with it they have
built ponds or weirs. so that every trout
running up to their spawning grounds
will be caught ard be stripped AT thc
proper time.
Here is another important matter
connected with this hatchery. When tho
commissioners bought the right TO this
brook, they also bought 30 acres OF
woodland; and it is their purpose te
enclose it with Il Wire fence and nave
there specimens of our forest namely
deer. caribou ana moose.
In conversation with a Journal re-
porter. last evening. Mr.. Nickery sale
that at some future time he viii civ,
more definite description which vii
Of necessity be of great pecuniary in
terest in kennebec county. He says
that though a drizzly day it was one
of the pleasantest in his whole life.
Mr.. Nicscry says that he shall en-
| deaVor. in his feeble way, to duly tax,
charge of the interests committed t,
his care--that the state Association has
an important and solemn trust to per
form. and that it shan be 10 fault OF
his if the sporting interests of Kenne-
lee county and the state are not KEEP
| up to q high water mark.
The party took dinner at Ballard.

In thinking Of the animals that died we
completely lost sight Of those we have
left. And bemoaning the low prices
this year we have forgotten the many
comforts and blessings we already
have. What do you say, shall we have
Thanksgiving, Jack?"
Eyes, indeed, we WILL" he returned.
springing from his chair with new a'ac-
rity. It'll kill the biggest turkey on
the place, and we'll have father and
mother, and Mr.. Snowdon, and Cousin
Myra's family. Our little folks shall
have happy surprise for once. Now
you just hustle around, little woman,
and we'll have the most thankful
Thanksgiving we ever had"

basket Of things. Only think how hard
it must be for them to get any cooking
done. And some good food will no
doubt do Mr.. and Mrs. Green both good,

to have a Thanksgivin' sermon. We
ought to be thankful for lots o good
things we've got, say nothin' bout what
we haven't got. The coolest way to be
thankful is to have good dinner an
have comp'ny an have a good time.
But we can't do that this year. We've
got just lots to be thankful for, though,
'thout the dinner. We've got papa, an
we ought to he awful thankful for papa.
An we've got mamma, an we ought to
be awful thankful for mamma. An
we've got grandpa an grandma, an we
ought to be JUS dreadful thankful for
them cause they are so old. An they're
goin' to spend a lonesome Tharksgivin'
all alone, cause nobody don't invite 'em,
an they're too old to fix up for comply.
An we've got Mr.. Snowdou for a neigh
Dor. An Mrs. Snowdon went an died
an lef' him all alone an he amt got
nobody to spend Thanksgivin' with.
An we've got US kidses, an we ought
to be- so thankful for US kids, cause
amt none of us got the dipthery like
the Green kids. An the Green kids
won't have no Thanksgivin', may be
not q mouthful. An we've got three
good horses to be thankful for"
"Davy," interrupted Susie. "you mus
member one of de horses died."
SWELL, Susie, amt sayn' nothin'
bout dead horses, It's the live horses
I'm tallzin' bout. Three live horses
is good deal more count than one dead
one. I'm thankful we've got three
good, live horses 'sted of two or one or
not any tall, same's some folks. An
we've got seven milk cows, an twelve
slick little baby pigs, an twenty-three
just awful big turkeys"
Here this grateful minister halted in
dead silence for an instant, as il a
