Lament of the Fisherman.
s.The time was +" said an old fsbern

'"The time was," said an old fisherman
on Commercial wharf Portland the
other day, when man could get some
thing for his days work. Why, bless
you, I've seen the time when a man
could make mor'en three dollars tide
diggin' CLANS for bait. That was
good business about 25 years ago and
| there were many in it.
"One OF the best claiming places
around Portland was above the bridge
between Knightville and Turner'S Is
land. CLAIMS were plentiful in those
days, and they were good sized ones as
compared with what you find now. At
every tide you would see from 10 to
dozen dories, each with two men or a
man and boy, go up before the tide
left the flats and as soon as they ground
| ed and the water had run off they
, would start in. Before the tide would
De up again they would have their dory
| loaded with all the CLAIMS she could
carry. I've known fishermen to take
10 to II bushels in one tide.
CLANS were worth from % to 40 cents
a bushel i'll the shell. Most of the men
dug for bait and the CLANS taken at low
| water would be shucked out while the
tide was in.
THE flats have been dug over and
| over till now the CLAIMS are small and a
man would have to work hard to get
three bushels at tide
Another business that paid pretty
well there was catching founders This
was done by means of small weirs OF
pounds and sometimes bushel basket
full could be taken from a single pound
each morning. They were packed into
| barrels without cleaning, and in this
way shipped to New York, where they
sold readily at five dollars barrel.
Even the founders have become scarce
and there is not much demand for them
except for lobster bait.
''Speaking of lobsters'' continued the
Old gentleman, reminds me that they
furnish another good source of income.
There was no law against short Holsters
| then and the upper part of the harbor,
especially above the bridges, was full of
traps. Boys used to do quite a business
catching them with the old fashioned
| hoop-nets: and after boiling them sell
| them at from three to five cents apiece.
I've known boys to make 81 a day and
more. 1T is no use to catch them now
for there's not more than one in ten
that is of lawful size. The reason for
this is the fact that all the larger ones
are caught up by the hundreds of traps
| that are set around every island the
| whole length of the Maine coast.
NO, fishing is not what it used to be
| and only the large dealers, make anything

Stacy Woodward, 70-year-old and

what has become of his young and pretty
wife, who disappeared mysteriously last
week. Five years ago Woodward was a
widower and Bertha Smith, a decidedly
pretty girl of 10, was his housekeeper.
The former fell in love with her and they
were married. The home was full of sun
shine when soon thereafter a chubby baby
girl came to bless the union of December
and May. But, by-and-by, Farmer
Woodward says, his pretty little wife grew
weary of his affections and entertained
young men, To this he protested vigor-
ously, but to no avail, and he had to

she had gone off with one of her young
men friends and he is almost frantic with
grief Mrs. Woodward has been discovered
at the home of her sister at Sykesville.
She says she will not return to her hus-
band

former resident, came to Medford on a
visit about two months ago, and while at
Sarah Branins was taken sick She then

bed.
Medford has secured a rural mail de-
livery system, to go into effect October list.
There will be four routes. One goes
down the Marlton pike to A. W. Lofand's
and connects with the Marlton carrier,
then to Ballinger's Mills, and return to
Medford. Another goes out the Mount
Holly road to Fostertown and Easton, to
Cox's corner and thence down the Church
road to Medford. The third goes through
Chairville to Red Lion, where a carrier of
Tabernacle connects with him, and they
deliver through that section and meet
again in the afternoon. The Tabernacle
carrier gives his mail to the Medford man,
who returns in time for the 5 o'clock mail.
Howard Braddock is the carrier on the
first route; William ]. GARNER Cd; Edwin
Dudley, Sd, and Charles Raynor, of Vim

This youth has been suspected for some
time, and Saturday night Officer Gregg,
in citizens clothes, was watching him
when he suddenly disappeared. Presently
there was a shrek over in the next block,
and the officer, Fastening in that direction,
overhauled the young man. He was
fastening from the scene of his latest at

The prisoner accompanied the officer with

The salary question was brought before
league meeting by the Palmyra mana

base ball in the neighborhood of Mana
yunk and it is poor club that cannot

James Perrine, of Pemberton, is in Jail
on charge of assaulting Two girls and
also for poisoning ducks Both of these
charges were preferred by ex-Judge For
syth. There are many people in Pember-
ton who are somewhat indignant at the
arrest. Perrine worked for Judge For
syth and the latter owed him 1927. I'm
able to collect the debt in ordinary ways,
Perrine sought the aid of Justice Kelsey.
The latter presented the claim to Forsyth,
but the money was not forthcoming and
the Squire threatened to bring suit. Be
fore he could do so, however, the charges
against Perrine were made and he was ar
rested and sent to jail. Perrine claims he

which the Bordentown paper referred to.
There will be game at the fair grounds
on Saturday. White Hill will probably
be here
Palmyra and Bristol are the only clubs
in the League that have no postponed
games to plav
Mount Holly did not resort to padding,
which seems to be all the rage just now,
but won with its regular players.
The tie for first place has been broken,
but there is now deadlock for last place
between White Hill and Bordentown.
Florence will be relieved in one way
that must have been quite trial. 1t will
not have to elect a new manager every
week.
| The withdrawal of Bordentown and
Florence will not cause any damage.
| The rest of the clubs will conclude the
| schedule.
That $45 team couldn't win, so they
tried to get game by working the pro
test gag on claim which repudiated theiI
own statements.
Borden town had four pitchers on hand
on Saturday. Bush, Matthews, Cook and
Hesley. The management evidently had
expected there would be trouble from
Mount Hoily's batters.
One of the statements of Gray, manager
of Florence, was that his team had never
been treated fairly while it had been in
the League. What nonsense 1t has
had all the good treatment it deserved.
| There will not be any surprise at the
withdrawal of Florence. So far as sports
manship is concerned they have shown
| their heels more than once. But nobody
| expected to see Bordentown, with that dead
/ game sport, Barry, at the head, quitting.
AS usual of late, when Perkins went tC
bat, on Saturday, the rooters for the othel
side gave all kinds of instructions to the
twirlers as to what kind of balls to deliver
to him 'tGive him low one" shouted
some ''put it around his neck, yelled
others; 'send him down on balls, " said The
nervously inclined conservatives. But i
was all of no avail. All pitchers lool
alike to Perkins nowadays.
The "baby act" was played to perfec
ton by the Florence manager on Monda,
night. He acknowledged that the play
