Begin early with your children. You
stand on the banks of river and you
try to change its course. 1t has been
rolling now for 100 miles. You cannot
change it. But just 20 to the source Of
that river, go to where the water just
drips down on the rock. Then with
your knife make a channel this way
and channel that way, and it will
take it. Come out and stand on the
banks of your child's life when it was
80 or 40 years of age, or even 20, and
try to change the course of that life.
1t is too late! 1t is too late! Go furth-
er up at the source of life and nearest
to the mothers heart, where the char
acter starts, and try to take it in the
right direction. But, oh, my friend, be
careful to make line, distinct line,
between innocent hilarity on the one
hand and vicious proclivity on the
other. Do not think your children are
going to ruin because they make a
racket. All healthy children make a
racket. But do not laugh at your
child's sin because it is smart. If you
do, you will cry after awhile because it
| is malicious. Remember it is what you
do more than what you say that is go
ing to affect your children. Do you

ven's oyster interests will be merged
into the trust, but just who the oyster
men are who will join is not given out,
Engineer Sanford has received options
on the oyster property and will soon
make tests Of theroyster ground There
is some prospect that the marine rail-
way and yard for the repair of the big
fleet of oyster boats that will be con-
trolled by the syndicate, will be located
on the east shore. If this is so it will
be quite boon for Fair Haven, as the
maintenance of such fleet will require
a large expenditure. Promoters of the
new company say that those who merge
their interests will make bigger profits
than ever before. They also promise
that the syndicate is a sure thing and
will be organized in time for the spring
seed trade.
Several years ago Thomas Wheeler of
Wequetequock, in the town of Ston-

and planted oysters. The bottom of the
Cove is somewhat muddy, but the oys-
tiers have grown wonderfully fast and
Mr.. Wheeler says he could gather at
the present time 100 bushels of oysters
on the bed. 1t is said that the Cove
presents fine facilities for growing ex-
cellent oysters and the experiment may
be continued on the ground.

From the start to finish "Hotel Topsy
Turvy" is recognition of the fact
that humanity possesses the faculty of
laughter, and that there cannot be any
harm in furnishing as much material
as possible for it's exercise. Comedy
business, lively incident nd merriment
in text and action make much of this
rafting play. but not all, for there are
good things in it, neat dances, pretty
costumes and feminine beauty to suit.
Then a clever lot of sixty people head
ed by Eddie Foy and Josie Dewitt
mingle with it in such a style that the
whole combination becomes the very
antipodes to dullness 1t will be see

matinee Saturday for the first time at
popular prices. Seats now on sale. Reg

THE Cherry Pickers," a melo-drama
ceptional strength, was presented to q
very large house at the Grand last
night. The piece is from the pen of
Joseph Arthur, and well deserves being
characterized as his masterpiece. The
same excellent company which caused
il to have such long and successful
runs in New York, Brooklyn, Philadel-
phia and other principal cities was seen
last night. The scenes are laid in In
dia and deal in the main with the in
trigues of a British military officer,
who uses his position of authority to
win the favor of a wealthy young lady
and dispose of a half-caste, who is his
lieutenant, and with whom the young
lady is in love. Around this the story
is cleverly woven, and opportunities
for introducing strong situations are
abundant. This IS another of the high
priced attractions which the manage
ment of the Grand is giving to it's pat
rons at popular prices. There will be
another performance this evening and
tomorrow with matinees Wednesday.
