Ex-Judge Enoch Foster, as counsel
for the Anthony Bracket heirs, who
claim 81. 0OO. 900 worth of property in
the heart of the business section Of
Portland. Maine. and nearly the whole
of Peaks Island, has informed them
that they have not a ghost of show
to recover possession Of this small but
valuable piece of land. He presented
proof that the occupants, whoever they
might be. gained ownership by adverse
and undisputed possession for twenty
years. and that after forty years Of
such possession no petition at law
could be maintained by the courts. The
heirs decided that this was about right
and will hereafter console themselves
with holding an annual reunion at
Peaks Island with j. w. Bracket at
Greenwood Garden and be proud Of
name which for two centuries has been
hOnOred and unblemished.

a bold move. He happened to own a
small and unused barn in the sub

One day. as the Rev. Mark Guy
Pearse of London. was strOlling along
a river bank. he saw an old man fish
ing for trout, and pulling the fish out
one after the other briskly. You
manage it cleverly. old friend" he
said. II have passed a good many be-
low who don't seem to he doing any,

I'D and stuck his rod in the ground.
Well. you see, sir. there Inc three
rules for fishing. and lis no good try

first is, keep yourself out nf sight. and
the second is. keep Yourself further
out o? sight. and the .kiid is keep
yourself further out of sight still.

SENATOR cAlHouMs READY REPLY.

Crashing Retors to ~ Accusation aade

1.-THE accusation made that states
men and politicians flop from one
party to another. and all kinds of mo-
tives being charged for such flops."
said an old empl0ye Of the senate. re-
calls to my mind the severest retort
ever uttered in either the house or the
senate. OF its justice ] can say Moth
ing. Every man is entitled to his own
opinion on all questions. The great
John C. Calhoun had lent his support
to the Van Buren administration and
Henry Clay was denouncing him for
his apostasy. With his eagle eyes
darting fire across the chamber. Clay
cried out:
1.-The gentleman from South Caro-
lima has gone over to the enemy. and
time alone can disclose his motive
Calhoun cast a whitening frown In
the direction of Clay. and replied:
land the senator from Kentucky
went over to the enemy and did not
leave it for time to disclose the mo-
tive

manned there only for a few moments.

Archbishop Ryan recently visited a
small parish in the mining district Of
Schuylkill county. Pa, for the purpose
of administering the sacrament Of con-

asked one poor. nervous. frightened
little girl what matrimony was. and
she answered that it was "a state of
terrible torment which those who en-
ter it are compelled to undergo for a
time to prepare them for brighter
and better world"

ARTIST MADE FAIR PROPOSITION

Probability That the Bu.iness House
Saw the Point.
A funny story about a well-knOwn
artist is going the round of artistic
circles in London. He received, not
long ago, a circular letter from an
American business house engaged In
the sale of dried fruit, inviting him to
compete for a prize to be given for the
best design to be used in advertising
their wares. Only one prize was to be
given, and all unsuccessful drawings
were to become the property Of the
fruit men. After reading the circular,
the artist sat down and wrote the fol-
lowing letter:
The Manager of the ........ Fruit
Company: Gentlemen.--I am Offering
a prize of half a crown for the best
specimen of dried fruit, and should
be glad to have you take part in the
competition. Twelve dozen boxes OF
each kind Of fruit should be sent for
examination, and all fruit that is not
adjudged worthy of the prize will re-
main the property of the undersigned.
It is also required that the charges on
the fruit SO forwarded be paid by the
sender. yours very truly, ......"

Old hunters say that the black bear
does a good deal of fishing at this
season. 1t is said that carefully study
ing the sun. and approaching so that
his shadow will not be cast upon the
waters. bruin creeps cautiously to
where he sees the tell-tale fins. and
dexterously throws the fish out Of the
water with a sweep of his paw.
A couple of lads came across a diff
ferent kind of bear this week at st.
Mary's lake, Hull, Canada.
This one preferred having some one
else do the fish catching for him.
The boys had got a good sackful Of
pike which they left near a stump
while they amused themselves on a
raft they had thrown together. They
looked ashore after time to see a big
bear walking OF with the bag of fish
over his shoulder.
He paid not the least attention to
their shoutings. having, as it trans
pired. taken the precaution of break
ing the stock of their gun across at
the grip before carrying of the fish.

The Channel to the Lakes.

II is an extremely favorable fact
that no serious engineering difficulties
bar the way tn the construction of a
deep channel from the Mississippi
river to the lakes. Nature has
carved the patti, by way Of the Illinois
river. and an important link at the
lakes has already been built. All that
remains to be considered is the cost.
Rock excavations can be made at less
than half the expenditure of twenty
years ago and dredging machinery has
been greatly enlarged and improved

Hotels Arc Crowded s.d Gold Mining
win Soon He Resumed.
A letter received in New York from
an American in johannesburg says
that a large number of residents are
returning every week; everybody Is
too busy to think about the war, and
all are sanguine that in six months
from the present time the mining in
dustry will be on as large a scale as it
was when the mines were closed over
two years ago. The town was never
SO busy as it is to-day.
II these sangnine expectations are
realized 5000 stamps will be at work
before the end of the year and if they
turn out gold as fast as before the
war they will be producing at the rate
of over $50. OOO.OOO year.
The people on the Rand. however,
feel perfectly certain that there is to
be an enormous increase in the indus
try. Thy say there is not a particle
OF doubt from what is known of the
mineral resources and the present
years there Will 6e 1900 stamps in
operation. This would be nearly three
times as many stamps as have ever
been worked on the Rand.
This estimate of future growth may
be extravagant, but it shows at least
the confidence Of the people in the
future Of the Rand whose fallen for
tunes they are now working with the
utmost energy to restore.

VICE PRESIDENT SETTLED the TIE

This probably was the reason for the
way Adlai Stevenson secured the exer-

was one sleepy day toward the end of
his term az vice president. The
United States senate was blowing
through the calendar and passing
many bills. Bills are considered agreed
to in the senate If no oral objection is
raised after they have passed through
the preliminary stages. but the usual
form of asking for the yeas and nays
is followed by the presiding officer.
The vice president had said:
Senators in favor of the bill will
say aye" Pause. Contrary no."
Not a single response.
1.-The vote is a tie" announced MIR.

The senator in charge of the bill
paused on his way to the cloakroom
and looked surprised.
In case of a tie the vice president
may cast the deciding vote. In the ex-
ercise of his constitutional privilege

Thereupon Senator Hoar offered a
peppermint drop to his neighbor. the
late Senator Sherman. says the New

Isham G. Harris made his way to the

HUNTERS WHO USE THE CAMERA,

4 Pastime in the Woods That Some
times Furnishes Odd Surprises.
The tribe of camera hunters has in
creased prodigiously of late years. The
craze has not penetrated the South,
where cameras are rare outside of big
towns, but widely spread in the North
and West.
The camera hunter needs for outfit
q fairly good instrument. some strings
to tie it in place, from twenty-five to
fifty feet of rubber tubing and lot
Of dry plates or films His objects are
to get pictures of birds in air, birds
on nests, birds on perches, rabbit in
form, etc.
Camera hunting uas merits. which
even old hunters do not deny. 1t is
practiced mostly in summer time with
nesting birds for subjects and does no
harm. 1t takes the camera hunter
into the field and teaches him the hab-
its of bird and beast.
1t gives him opportunity to acquire
a knowledge of the points of the COM
pass SO that he will not get lost in the
woods. Its successful pursuit requires
patience, ingenuity, industry and some
endurance.
Flashlight pictures of deer on night
runways. of predatory fauna. foxes,
minks. polecats and so forth about
chicken coops and duck roosts are in
teresting and instructive. Sometimes
they give unlooked-for illustrations Of
the habits of animals.
A camera hunter in southwestern
Wisconsin who had accused a fox of
stealing a lot of his young Indian
game chickens found one day, on the
evidence of developed plate. that the
thief was a woodchuck. Similarly a
tame ferret has been discovered on
his way to cut lot of fowls threats
instead of a skunk which had been
judged guilty.

Cambridge, Mass, June 26.-Roose-
welt, class of 1880, came back to Har-
ward yesterday and received the de-
gree of LID. Later he spoke at the
alumni banquet, making an earnest
plea in defense of three college men
Root, Wood and Taft-who have
been among the foremost in carry
ing out the policy of the administra-
ton in Cuba and the Philippines. AL
most passionately he told of the work,
the self-sacrifces, the disinterested
services of Leonard Wood in Cuba, of
Judge Taft in the Philippines, and of
Secretary Root, and of the criticisms
and accusations made against them
who, he said, had worked with no
hope of reward and no expectation of
gain; for the good of the peoples VIII ON
they sought to better and the added
glory of the nation, and he denounced
those who would calumniate them, and
declared he would stand by them to
the end.
At the Spanish war banquet in the
evening the president defended the
conduct of the army in the Philippines.
He declared no soldier guilty of cruel
ty to natives would ever be excused,
but asked the people to remember the
torture of soldiers by natives, and
closed as follows:

the point of immediate danger.
A bulletin posted at the palace at
four o'clock in the afternoon said the
kings progress was in every way sat-

King Edwards physicians announced
at 9:40 Sunday night that the royal
