YACHT BUILDERS At WORK
HURRYING TO BE READY FOR THE
VANISHING OF WHITE
BEAR ICE
SOME NEW BOATS AND FAST
Are Promised, If the Lines Produce
When They Float What Is Ex-
pected by Their De-
siRners.

The time is less than month off when
1t will be possible for the yachtsman to
place his pet craft into the water. A
few warm days to get the Ice melted
around the edges of White Bear lake and
a stiff wind or two to break it up gener-
ally is all that is wanted to do the trick.
Sunday there We're still from eight to
ten Ice boats gliding over the icy sur
face and whisping in and out the bay
at Lake Shore. Many of these were I'M
doubtedly taking their last spin of the
season, for by next Sunday, with favor
able weather, the ice will hardly be In
a safe condition for this sort Of pastime
1t has been a most ideal winter for the
ice boat devotee. The little snow which
fell during the winter had no bad effect
on the sport, and in this respect 1t has
been an exceptional one.
And while the Ice King was cutting the
Dutch roll both forward and backwards,
and skipping over to Mahtomedi or Wild
wood in less time than it takes to tell,
the hammer, the plane. the chisel and the
saw could be plainly heard in several of
the boat building establishments along
the lake. and, as the builders would oc-
casionally look up from their work and
gaze out on to the big stretch Of ice be-
fore them, thoughts of the coming season
would come over them and they would
already, In their own minds. begin the
battles which the boats they were then
constructing would have to encounter
For were they not constructing at that
very moment the hulls of racing ma
chimes which would bring possible glory
and fortune to the builder and fame to
st. Paul and White Bear lake? And were
they not then shaping into tangible form
and graceful curve the very best racing
craft that ever rested on the bosom of
old White Bear? All winter long have
they toiled and planned and hammered
and sawed, made changes and alterations,
highered and lowered, backed and filled
until now there are on the ways some
already completed and others receiving
their finishing touches. eight of the
handsomest sailing yachts that ever
faced the starting gun.

Knights of Pythias Fair.

The weather of Tuesday afternoon
and evening would have concealed the
success of almost any enterprise above
ground, but in spite OF it the opening of
the Knights of PythiaS fair was fairly
well attended and pronounced success
nom every point of view. The decora-
tions of the hall and booths are unusual
ly elaborate and pretty, embodying the
emhlematic colors of the order to a very
large degree. The flower booth, presid-
ed over by Mrs. {. IL. Bevington. is one
of the prettiest, being made of pink and
white bunting and other delicate shades
well in keeping with the nature of
the contents. The autumn booth.
well stocked with vegetables. preserves
and other harvest products, is particu
larly beautiful, being made of wildly
colored autumn leaves. This booth is
presided over by Mrs. +. +. Blake. The
winter booth is made entirely of ever
green's, with heavy fall of woolly snow
on top. This is for the sale of fancy
articles and seldom are so many seen in
one place. Mrs Rives and Mrs. Hogan
preside over this booth. The confec-
tionery booth is nearest the door stocked
with all sorts of choice sweets. Then
there are the peanut rooster. the gypsy
camp and Egyptian fortune teller, the
fish pond, and last but not least. the cafe
where one can get almost anything in
the line of eatahleS cooked to order Il In
carte. The cafe is in grove of natural
evergreens and an ideal pace for quiet
and refreshing tete-d-fefe. The entertain
ment as given SO far is of as high an
order as has ever been given in Island
Pond. The Floyds in their parts of
magic and mnemonicS scored an instan-
taneous hit. Mrs. Frost, reader. was in
instant favor with her audience. Miss
Grace Davis, yiolinist, played with her
usual effective skill. Mrs. Rawson as
accompanies came in for her deserved
share of praise. The fair closes this
Thursday evening when the result of the
voting contests that have aroused so
much interest will be announced

Editor of the Essex County HERALD.

Editor of the Essex County HERALD.
Dear Sir: Through the columns of
your paper, desire to express my deep
est gratitude to the Brotherhood of I.o-
connective Firemen. in appreciation of
the manner in which they have treated
me. For the past two years, circnm-
stances have rendered the pursuance of
my labors, in my usual capacity, impos-
sible. Realizing my condition, these
gentlemen have been the means of my
receiving fifteen hundred dollars, the
amount of my claim in that organize
ton. In all walks of life. the question
oftentimes confronts one: "Does a
brotherhood of men really exist?' Let
me assure you of my firm belief in the
affirmative. for it was brotherly love that
inspired this action, which appeals to me
as one that speaks louder than words.
We are taught to believe that God is
our Father, so by human nature, we are
all decreed brothers. And justly deserv-
ing of that beautiful title is he, who not
only hovers near when fortune lavishly
smiles upon us, but who also fingers at
our side, when adversely overtakes us
and extending to us his hand, utters
from the innermost fountains of his
heart, the words "You are my brother
and am your friend" Thanking you,
Mr.. Editor, for the space thus afforded
me. in which to thank the Brotherhood
remain one who will ever be mindful
of their past courtesies.
Respectfully, FRANK j. EMERY.

that Mr.. w. b. Causebrook, formerly of

considered impossible. The immediate
crisis was brought about by acute bron-

ton OF the lung tissue, and it is feared
heart failure may become one of the
complications. The doctors hold out no
hope of his recovery, although all that
can be done is being done for him. Mrs
Causebrook and son Henry are with the
sick man and he greatly appreciates
their presence. a wide circle of friends
will read of Mr. Causebrook's critica
illness with the deepest regret and thei1
I thoughts will go out in sorrow ano
sympathy to him and his family.
