DEM was one of the first men to come
here from his home in Penns Grove and
join in the fishing colony. DEM is one of
the best-known men in the county. and
at the last session Of the Legislature he
was doorkeeper in the Senate. The fish
ermen have had very poor luck this sea-
son and many Of them have given up in
disgust and returned to their homes.
Dem and his partner. however. decided
to stick it out and trust to luck to make
them whole.
They were out in the bay trying once
more to land something of value yester-
day. Their net had been out for hours.
and they were about to pull ashore in de-
spair when they saw the big floats sud-
denly swish around under the impetus of
heavy body. They knew at once that
they had made a strike. and no small
one. at that. and they began to pull in
with renewed hope and energy. Dem
trying to suppress his excitement while
he toiled on the lines and whistled for
luck. He was gradually drawing the big
fish to the boat when it gave an extra
heavy lunge and started off to reach deep
water and liberty again. The pull was
too much for Dem. He tugged with all
his might. but the fish tugged hardest,

Leaving the boat to care for itself,
Dennis hardy partner sprang nimbly to
the rescue. and after a deal of effort
finally succeeded in getting hook fast
in the net and line out to Dem. The
two men then worked together and land

Barnum and His ''Egress."

In the days when Barnum's museum
was in the height of it's popularity in
New York. it was the custom Of many
people to bring their wives. children and
lunch baskets and make day of it. This
was not in accordance with Barnum's
view of profitable way TO conduct a
museum. One Saturday, when the army
Of picnickers were overcrOwding the
show and keeping others out, brilliant
idea occurred to Barnum. On a huge
canvas he painted the word "Egress" in
immense letters of green. This he placed
ed the attention of the crowd, which was
just about to settle down for lunch.
''Egress, egress!'' cried the visitors:

Industrial Career.
That Charles NJ. Schwab, the president
of the billion-dollar steel corporation,
should have found time, on an evening
that came between two Wall street
panics, to tell roomful of boys some
ing circumstance, and the talk he gave
was as edifying as his willingness to give
it. The boys were pupils in St. Georges
Evening Trade school in New York, and
the occasion was the schools commence

a very good speaker. Assuming that the
boy who wanted to do we'll was honest
and STRAIGHTFORWARD, for that was indis-
pensable, Mr.. Schwab made his points,
which were that every boy must expect

and that the great men in manufacturing
and industrial lines are not the men with
college educations In this last particu-
lar Mr.. Schwab seems to be of the same
mind as Mr.. Carnegie and the late Mr.
Huntington: Give the boy who hopes to
be manufacturer manual training. he
says, and start him to work at 16 or II.
He will get such start that the lad who
stays in college till he is 20 can never
overtake him.
So Mr.. Schwab thinks, and he is con-
irmed in his opinion by knowing that
very large proportion of the leaders in
finance, manufactures and trade in this
country are men who did not go to COL
lege. Undoubtedly what he said was
very fit to be disclosed to the pupils at a
manual training school. He might have
added with equal truth that when a first
class boy who has had manual training

will. The shape Of the hats, with their
low crown, leaving no room for a high
chignon, is an evident indication Of what

dressed high on the top Of the head suits
most faces, while. on the other hand. the
low couture only looks really we'll on

THEIR LITTLE GAME.
GrOccrA Trust Have withdrawn Nl1
PrirAS Fnr Ia

'irOcrrs Trust Have withdrawn Al1
Prices For Sixty Days.
There is a merry fight on now among
the grOcers of the city, The trust
price list has been withdrawn for sixty
days. This was decided on at meet
ing Of the Grocers Association on Wed
ncsday. For that period the people of
the city will be permitted to purchase
their grOcers at competitive prices.
Sugar is selling below cost, % pounds
for dollar. The move has not been
made by the grOcers because there is
any dissatisfaction among them. It is
being done for purpose. If Sutton &
McCabe are not ready to quit at the
end of sixty days the grocers will be
permitted to cut for thirty days more
green stuff will be coming in, and then
they think that the firm will surely
have to give in. They will not be able
to get any green vegetables in the city
unless they join the association.
1t will be rather difficult to get them
from the outside and handle them with
profit, or even without a loss. So the
good citizens of Duluth who We're
breathing somewhat easier during the
week, being under the impression that
the Grocers Association was a thing of
the past, We're mistaken. 1t is only one
Of the old tricks. 1t is like the practi-
ces fthe Standard Oil Company, when
they almost give oil away until they
drive a competitor out of the market,
then the people pay for it by higher
price on oil.
