farther north. known as Canaan.
Have Their Private Canals.


But the absence OF streets is not a
detriment TO this island community, for
each building lot has Its own private
canal. by which the occupants float
their 1at-bottomed boats out into the
sound and bring from the larger boats
out in the harbor their supplies of wood
or other necessaries needed for the de-
mands Of housekeeping-for the island
Is without wood, and gardening is car
ried on TO a very limited extent. for
the islanders are fishermen. oystermen.
and crabbers. and agriculture is not
depended on TO any great extent, al
though the soil seems well adapted for
gardening and corn raising; but the
difficulties of tilling the ground seem to
keep many from gardening, and there
seems TO be plenty OF ground which
might be used for the raising Of corn
and potatoes If there were a disposition
to forsake the water for the land,
No Use for Horses.
And so, with the little canal running
to the back yard Of each house, and
with each householder provided with
one or more boats, the use OF horses
as beasts OF burden or for purposes of
pleasure seems to be fully supplied by
the boats. But to the stranger the
spectacle Of boat passing through
meadow is one which is full OF novelty
and constant source OF amusement.
The landing stage at which the steam
ers land passengers and freight for
Tangier is fully a mile from the nearest
point OF the island, and here you will
find. upon the arrival of the steamer. a
motley collection OF boats waiting, some
Of them for passengers. others are wait
ing for freight-for there are five stores
on the island; and others come from
railroad station TO interest the idle,
and an old dfashioned stage coach would
probably cause as much excitement as a
circus parade, with its gayly decorated
wagons, causes in rural communities.
"Haven of Perpetual Rest"
But this is without doubt the haven
of perpetual rest. Jealousy has never
been awakened by the advent of a caved-
in. pulled down Panama hat, the quiet
has never been disturbed by rag-time
music. the hand organ with its accom-
panying monkey is but a tradition on
this peaceful island: soda water except
the bottled kind is unknown, ice cream
Is served on Saturday nights. the real
gala night Of the island, and the chill
dren lull their dolls to sleep with the
music OF gospel hymns
And yet would not have anyone
think that the people are not musical.
and that the children have no Joys. To
the contrary nearly every home pos
sesses an organ and the children are
the gladdest, hnppiest children have
ever seen, and while II is true they do
not have the same kind of toys used by

If President Roosevelt succeed

If President Roosevelt succeeds
in the announced intention of
pushing aside the old congression-
al leaders and organizing party
in strict accord with his own ideas
and at the same time continuing
his party in power he will have &C.
complished the political marvel of
the age. From the standpoint of
the Republican organization the
attempt of the President to cast
aside old leaders and to build up a
machine of his own is fraught with
disaster. 1t is bound to make
