The Minister'S Collie.
(Scottish-Amer icap.

(Scottish-Am erican.)
In the old church Of Crathie, one of the
most regular attendants was the minis
ter's collie, whose practice was to follow
Mr., Anderson up the pulpit steps and
quietly lie down at the top
He was always most decorous, though
possibly somnlent, listener, but he was
also an excellent timekeeper, for if the
sermon were a few minutes longer than
usual, Towser got up and stretched HIM
self, yaw1ing audibly When the Queen
first came Mr.. Anderson feared she might
object to such an unorthodoX addition to
the congregation, and shut up Towser on
Sunday Her Majesty next day sent an
equerry to the manse to enquire If any
thing had happened to the dog. as she
had a sketch OF the interior Of the church
in which he appeared lying beside the
pulpit, and if he We're alive and we'll
she would like to see him in his old place.
Greatly to 'rowser's delight, he was thus.
by royal command, restored to church

How He First Net Judge Campbell,


To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
About two years ago I was on a Chss-
apeake and Ohio train bound for Rich
mond. In the seat opposite me was a gen
tleman with a lovely little girl The
child seemed very restless, tired, and dis
tressed and kept saying; Papa, when
shall / see my mammal was very
much interested. and when I happened to
pay some trifling attention to the gentle
man he told me that he was taking his
little daughter to see her mother who
was ill in hospital in Richmond. His
tender care Of, and loving sympathy for.
this distressed little girl, to whom he was
obliged to be botn father and mother,
touched my heart and made an impress
sion upon me that l cannot forget.
To-day, a stranger in the city, wan
dered into the Capitol to hear the Camp
bell.Crawford case discussed. I at once
looked into the face of my acquaintance
on the train, and upon asking whom it
was, was told: THAT Is Judge Camp
bell. Of Amherst"
Man looEeth upon the outward appear
ance, but God looketh on the heart" and
am cure that He can read and see that
the heart that holds such love and ten-
derness for a little child cannot be alto
gether bad.

THE OYSTER QUESTION.

One Interested Asks Some Cues
tions.
To the Editor Of the Dispatch:
There seems to be 4 move on foot by
some Of the up-country people and others
interested to get bill through the Legis-
lature to rent out all Of the barren bot
toms and depleted oyster grounds in the
Baylor survey.
I wish 10 publicly express my opinion
Through the columns of your paper, con-
ce-ning this bill.
The Constitution; I understand, declares
that no ma tural oyster rock beds or shoals
shall be rented or leased out. Then the
words depleted oyster ground is used sim
ply to erlcroach upon tho rights of the
public. s:
No natural rocks ever become depleted.
except by the catching and carrying from
them the small oysters and shells; and
if such a bill were to pass. giving men the
right to take up depleted oyster grounds,
could not all oyster rocks eventually he
depleted by this process, and taken up
unless some provision were made to pro-
tect them? Give natural oyster bottoms
twelve months rest, and YOU will find
they are fertile and prolific Gull ~
small oysters back on these bottoms, and
you will never deplete them.
Let the Legislature enforce the Gull law,
and the natural growth Of oysters Will
increase. Let the up-country people and
all others Interested come down here and
and help us tidewater people catch the
oysters, If they think there is more money
In it than in farming. The State law gives
them tho same right it does us tldeWater
people Would renting out the natural
rocks be the means Of your getting more
money for your wheat and corr? Would
it advance the price of labor? Would It
make oysters cheaper: Would lit make
better citizens of those who now make
their honest living upon these grounds
Would it benefit the poor man and the
public any at all? / say not. Therefore,
1 hope the Legislature will! never pass
such a, law. j. IL REED

Waterbury Democrat., 1903-02-12

The republicans have never ceased to worry about the facts in regard to prices, wages and the cost of living under Dingley-bill trust rule, as pre- scented in the last democratic campaign book. Notwithstanding that with each attempt to get away from or dis prove these facts they work them selves deeper into the rust mire, yet they are foolish enough to continue their spasmodic struggles. Mir Hill of Connecticut made desperate ef- fort several days ago to prove by the table of prices in the democratic cam paign book that the prices of the ar- ticles on the free list had advanced more from 1896 to 1902 than did the prices of the articles on the dutiable list. He took all of the Ii articles on the free list and showed that the prices of these advanced 26 per cent. Then he selected 21 articles from the 174 on the dutiable list and, amid re. publican applause, showed that the prices of these rose only 15A per cent from 1896 to 1902.
