man named Dolan, aged Al years, was

captain Of the Pollock decided that it
would be best to have the man taken

Mehrer.
When Dolan was taken over the side
of the vessel Hodge, who had always
been fast friend of Dolan, looked
down at him, then walked to the other
side of the steamer, removed his shoes
and hat and plunged overheard. The
messboy on Che steamer saw Hodge

Tho tug was soon released from the

ERA OF THE CLAM.

Now IN l;raut Iyan,and

Now In Great Demand.
Ono of the surprising developments
In the business of the restaurant
Keepers and suppliers of shellfish is
the growth of the demand for clans.
Ten years ago, according to Evan
Ainscow of the Ainscow restaurant.
CLANS were hardly known, whereas the
demand is doubling itself year by year.
CLAIMS bridge tho season when oysters
are out Of season.
One of the reasons that clans have
become popular is that they are more
tender than formerly. They are now
set out and cultivated like oysters, and
the continued and regular fishing has
removed the old and tough ones. They
are used more than ever for SOUP and
chowder. Then, too. the little neck
variety, formerly unknown, has come
to be desired by epicures. So that,
altogether, this is the era Of the clam.
