EonstantinopIe in a Blizzard.

On recent Sunday the worst
blizzard within living memory
swept over Constantinople. It be-
gan on the Saturday. night and
ragged till the following afternoon,
when it moderated. By Sunday
morning the streets were impassa-
bic for ordinary wheeled traffic,
but few officers who had to get
about succeeded in doing so by
adding an extra pair of horses to
their carriages. AS the coachmen
we're not accustomed to driving
four-in-hand, second coachman
got on the box, and each drove
pair. All through Pera there were
drifts five and six feet deep, and
the average depth was two feet.
On Sunday afternoon the greater
part of the population began snow
balling, and in some parts of the
most fashionable quarters of the
town gangs of roughs took up a
position and attacked all passers-
by most numerically, till the gov
ernor of Pera had to interfere.
Several fights took place. They
set on a Russian in a big astrachan
coat and cap, who, after being hit
few times, quietly drew out big
revolver and began making prep
arations to fire. By the time he
was ready the street was empty.
In the midst of the snowballing a
well-known palace spy passed
along. He was recognized at once
and numerically dealt with. The
municipality made splendid efforts
and cleared most of the main
streets, using hundreds of men
and carts. At one time the carts
and men were worse than the
snow, blocking the whole street.
Unfortunately, dispute arose be-
tween them and the tram company,
which cleared some of it's lines,
but refused to carry the snow
away. The municipality, finding
that the company would do no
more, set to work and cleared the
road by heaping the snow back on
the tram line.-Philadelphia Even

che November Eou$ekeeper.

Bright, practical and entertain

apply to the contents of the Nov

in charmingly appropriate dress,

typical Thanksgiving scene. Chief
among the literary features is a
Thanksgiving story, by Fred John
Splitstone, with something new in
the way of plot and treatment.
With Thanksgiving SO near, the
subject of cookery becomes of par
amount interest, and it is amply
covered by Elizabeth 0. Hitler in
the numerous pages devoted to her
departments. Full instructions on
how to serve formal, as we'll as

are given, with pages of delicious
recipes and illustrations from
photographs showing the dishes

Lobster Fishing.

I landed on Prince Edwards Is
land in the latter part of March to
try lobster fishing for a summer.
The first man I struck for a job
was French Canadian who had a
canning factory on the island.
did you ever fish for lobste1s?''
he asked. I replied in the mega
tive and he refused to have any
dealings with me. But a mile
further down the beach was anoth-
er cannery owned by aScotchman,
and he gave me a chance. He
supplied the traps and offered 81
hundred for Holsters. I bought
my own bait, Goldfish heads at 81
a barrel, enough to bait traps for
2,OOOlobsters or, in other words, for
a weeks fishing. Three other men
worked for my employer, each of
whom Gshed fifteen box traps
that is they pulled them three times
a day in from three to five fathoms
of water.
The traps were three feet long,
eighteen inches high and two feet
wide. In the spring they required
fifteen pounds of stone for ballast,
but later, when they became wa
terlogged they would sink of their
own weight. They had a bride at
one end with rope attached, the
upper end of which was fastened
to ridge rope, which was buoyed
up and anchored at each end. The
fishermen would pick up the line
at one end of the buoys, throw it
over the stem of his boat and by
means of it pull the boat along to
the trap ropes. When he had the
traps all pulled and freshly baited
he would signal to the cook ashore
to fire up and have the water boil
ing; for a lobster isn't fit to can if
he is not boiled alive. When they
die the flesh is watery.

care of children and how to make
"a home beautiful and attractive.
On the same page are also to be
found some of Marion Harland's
famous recipes. She is considered
an authority on this subject, many
people making it practice to
preserve her recipes whenever they
are published.
A word about Marion Harland
herself. Thousands of people who
have read her articles are DESTROYS
of knowing more about her. Her
real name is Mary Virginia Ter
hume. She was born in Amalia
County, Virginia, Dec, 81, 1881;
received a good education; began
to write FOR the press at Ia, and in
1856 married Rev. Edward Payson
Terhune. Besides writing for the
press, she is the author of a large
number of books. She has sum-
mer home called Sunnybank at
Pompton, N. j., but at present Is
living in New York City.-Adv.

inches from the tips Of the claws
to the end Of the tail. Grown in

NOPE along the beach at all times
to see that no young Holsters are
brought ashore, and if they find
any they confscate your whole
outfit.
I started in fishing fifteen traps,
then I added five more, for I was
there for the money there was in
it. Later I took five more, % in
all, but only pulled them once a
day, while on stormy days and
Sundays I didn't touch them. Sat-
urday evening [ used to put extra
bait in them to give the catch
enough to eat and SO prevent the
strong Holsters from feeding on the
weak ones.
The canneries on Prince Ed
wards Island are only permitted
to fish from April Is to June Is,
but Holsters can be caught at any
season for table use. There were
times when my boss couldn't hand
lie all we brought him and then he
used to send me down to the French
man to dispose of them. The first
time I went with a boat load to
him, he said: II say, I was a fool
not to hire you, for I can't get
enough fish to keep the girls busy"
He couldn't, because we all fshed
behind reef and we had the sea
end of it and all his Holsters had
to pass our traps. Thousands
passed them, of course, but he
failed to get them. The bottom
OF that part OF the sea Is literally
covered with Holsters coming in
to shoal water to spawn. When
the ice breaks up in the spring the
wind and sea drive it on shore and
it forces school upon school of
smelts onto the beach and ice.
The undertow from the first gale
carries the smelts back into the sea
to be food for Holsters. So you
see gale does something else be-
sides drowning sailors. It feeds
the Holsters and the Holsters feed
other Holsters, and so it goes on
for ever. SINBAD.

dream over, but seldom seen.
When the public wishes to invest
in an established business, the only
feasible methods Of allowing it to
dose is to capitalize the earning ca
pacity by the issuance of enough
stock to insure moderate price
per share and wide distribution.
You should also bear in mind that
this much complained of concern
is one of the best dividend payers
on the list today. No one paid
over so for it's common stock, and
with the reduced dividend at that
price it earns 4 per cent, as much
as a savings bank would pay, and
on its market value it pays Is per
cent. With these figures before
you, how can you claim the public
was cheated by the issuance Of wa
tered stock? It received full value
for it's money in earning capacity.
If the originators have at the
same time acquired handsome
profit, they are entitled to it, they
have earned it.
When the time comes that the
American people are willing to re-
alize that money necessarily makes
money, and are as willing to con-
cede to the heads of great indus
tries their just dues as they are
now willing to attempt to force
from them more than the due
of their laborers; when they
realize that concentration of
business and capital means
strength and ability to work and
fight for the advancement of the
nation as a whole; when they are
willing to give to leaders the pow
er to control instead of permitting
them to point the way; when they
realize that in business as in war
discipline is essential to success
and that to have discipline the
word Of the leaders must be abso-
lutte; then and not until then i'll
the age Of combinations will the
American people possess the tenn
perance ana fortitude necessary to
accomplish great things; then and
not until then will the power rest
in their hands to ward off panic
and disaster; then and not until
then will the American nation in
dustrially control the world. F.

times; there is uOlH-
ing else for him to do; but it takes
a wise man to keep his head clear
with the sun of prosperity shin
ing on it," It therefore seems to
me to be the part of temperance
to look at both sides Of question,
to give the devil his due, and when
errors are committed to place the
blame where it belongs.
Newspapers and magazines now
-adays are filled with talk OF over
capitalization, undue expansion,
undigested securities, and as many
other catch phrases as seem good
to the imagination of the reporters.
If this shows the general feeling,
and it undoubtedly does, it appears
to me to indicate weak spot in the
American armor, a spirit OF un-
fairness, of unwillingness to study
both sides of question to proper
Iy place the blame and understand
it's reasons. And until this spirit
is eliminated, until the American
people as a whole will take a broad
,er view of things and be willing to
give the rich man as we'll as the
laborer his just due, the American
lis not fitted to assume the indus
trial leadership of the world; for
so far his most prominent charac-
terist;o is desire to force boom
times to the danger point and then
blame others for his misfortune,
indicating neither temperance IN
good times nor fortitude in bad.
Pre-eminent in the business in
terests of this country are perhaps
a dozen men, broad minded, clear
headed and with the ability, nerve
and foresight to direct the ener-
sgies of their constituents, who
comprise the American people, in
! to proper channels. But while the
people are willing these men should
direct their efforts, should consol-
-idate great industries, effect reduc-
FTion of expenses, bring about in
crease of wages and extension OF
markets, they are unwilling to al
low them to control their efforts,
ito say when retrenchment shall
take place, or to allow values which
in good times with large profits
invariably become inflated, to as
sumo their proper level. Instead,
there is a constant demand for
more, more, and in the end the
leaders become like the head Of a
snake, pushed along by it's tail. A
smash is inevitable and when it
comes, who is to blame for it, the
group of 6nanciers who make
great things possible or the i'm
mense body of the American peo-
pie who in their greed took the
bit in their teeth and rode rough
shod over their leaders?
Today we hear on all sides Won
-derful stories of the profits made
by underwriting syndicates during
the past few years, stories SO fab
snlous that in most cases the syn
dictates would have been satisfied
with a small fraction of their al
legged profits. At the same time,
with the help of skillful leader
ship the wealth of the country
has enormously increased and
every one knows where the money
lis. It is in the hands of the
people themselves, North, South,
East and West. The West and
South, plastered with mortgages a
few years ago, are free from debt
today and are loaning money
abroad and in the older sections of
the country. Does this indicate
that an undue percentage of the
increased wealth stuck to the fin
