Gentle words to His Fish.

"You know the camps" says DR..
Daintree of Lewiston, according to the
Lewiston Journal.
What, the camps at Bemis?"
"The same. Those are the only
camps there are for me-" says the doc
tor. those camps in the Rangeley re-
gion."
For the past eighteen years DR..
Daintree had spent three weeks in
fishing on the Mooselucmeguntic. A
part of the time he stays at Bemis.
Then he goes to Haines' Landing for
a few days addition. He is an ardent
angler, and he is uniformly success
full. One day the little steamer Cup
suptic pIowed by his boat just as he
had made a lucky strike. His rod
was bent double, and as he played the
big fish the reel creaked and buzzed.
"Come to your daddy now, like a good
little fish," crooned the doctor, coax
ingly, as he peered into the water.
Come out of there, now, for daddy
wants his little fishwishy!"
A day or so later, as the doctor
stood on the wharf, a lady approach
ed him and asked:
"Are you the gentleman who was
fishing out there as the Cupsuptic
went by?"
IT am" answered the doctor, mysti-
fed.
1--WE heard you addressing your
strike" she laughed. ITS the first
time we heard any one use just that
tone of voice to a fish. We've heard
profanity by the yard, but it seems
gentle methods are best. No wonder

dol"

The President insists that this Con-
gress shall pass an antitrust bill. He
has made up his mind apparently that
legislation of this kind is necessary to
enable him to make the race for the
presidency with some show of sue
cess. He has practically begun his
campaign, and he wants to be in 4
position to say that he is doing all
that can be done to remedy the evils
of trusts. BY such legislation he hopes
to spike one Of the most formidable Of
the Democratic guns. If he shows the
people that he is doing something to-
wards remedying trust evils he thinks
he and his party cannot be success
fully attacked as the supporters of
trusts.
1t is the understanding that the Jul
dietary Committee of the House has a
bill about ready to be introduced. 1t
is drawn on the lines marked out by
the Attorney General and Endorsed by
the President. Just what the House
will do with the bill it is of course
impossible to predict with any de-
gree of certainty. The probability is,
however, that it will pass 1t. But will
the Senate also pass it? 1t may. under
pressure.
One of the reports current is that
the President is so determined to have
antitrust legislation that he will call
the new Congress together Immediate
ly after the ending of the present Con-
gress unless an antitrust bill is pass
ed at this session. That looks as if he
had made up his mind to bulldoze
Congress into doing what he wants
done. He may get what he wants, but
it is evident that there is going to be
a pretty big fight in the Senate before
any antitrust bill receives the APPROX
al of that body.

THE ARMY cANTEEN AGAIN.

The question of a canteen in the
army is not settled permanently by any
means. The prohibtionists have the
upper hand for the present, but the
| probability is that the advocates of the
canteen will be victorious in the end.
A bill, the bill of Representative Par
ker, to restore the canteen in the army,
sideration during the present Congress.
Its friends are prepared to make
strong fight for it, and, 1t is thought,
a successful one.
Since the question was last before
Congress the Association of Military
Surgeons of the United States and, the
American Medical Association have
passed resolutions in favor of the cam
teen. The influence of these associa-
tions viii undoubtedly have a great
deal of weight in the controversy.
One of the ablest articles ever pub
lished on the canteen appears in the
current number of the North American
Review. 1t is by DR.. Seamen, and
is entitled: why the Army Canteen
Should be Restored" 1t is a thought
full article and is by man who UNI
derstands the subject. He quotes sta
tistics to show that the effect of the
canteen is to make the men more
amenable to discipline, more temperate
in drinking, less inclined to desert, less
liable to sickness and better soldiers.
The whole matter may be summed up
by saying that the soldiers will have
drink, and If they cannot get it at the
army posts they will go outside and
get it. The fact that it is prohibited
at the posts makes them all the more
determined to get it. Therefore when
drink can be had at the posts, under
the supervision of the officers, the SOL
ton; in fact. to drink wines and beer
with an occasional drink of something
stronger. But little money is thus
| spent for liquor. But when there is
no canteen at the posts saloons are
established on the outside where the
vilest kinds of liquors are sold and the
soldiers are induced to drink to excess.
| A big percentage of them waste all of
their wages in such saloons.
DR.. Seamen gives an account of the
establishment Of the canteen. 1t seems
that Col. Morrow was the founder of
it. He established it for the purpose
of keeping the soldiers at his post out
! of the saloons. 1t was intended as a
temperance measure and it answered
that purpose admirably.
The prohibitionists are undoubtedly
very sincere in opposing the canteen
but the truth unq1estionably is that
they don't understand the matter. Ac-
cording to DR.. Seamen's view they are
responsible for much drunkenness and
for the deaths of number of soldiers
which has occurred since the canteen
was ordered out of the army by Con-
gress through their efforts. 1t is prob.
able that the canteen will be restored

A number of Yale students are going
West next summer with monographs fer
the purpose of collecting records of the
voices and dialects of various tribes
Of North American Indians. If the
Yale men wish to secure some really
fine specimens of dialects, such as can
be found nowhere else in the world,
they ought to visit the sea islands of
South Carolina and Georgia and get
some of the rice-fieId and long-staple
cotton-field darkies to talk into their
machines. The language of these dar-
kes is more expressive, euphonious
and picturesque, and at the same time
more puzzling to the average North
erner, than anything to be found
among the Indians. In folklore and
mysticism, as well as in language, the
sea island negro offers a rich field for
study.

Irving NJ. Scott. 1.-THE man who built
the Oregon is a candidate for United
States senator from California, to sue
coed Senator Perkins. Mr.. Scott's chief
claims for preferment seem to be that
he built a successful ship, for which
he got a dollar of cash for every dol
lar of value that he gave, and that he
is millionaire. He has never had
either political or legislative expert
ence. Mr.. Scott is spoken of as very
'clOse" man with his money, in illus
tration of which it is told that when
Mrs. Mckinley was sick at his house
for some time in 1901 he charged to'the
San Francisco Reception Committee the
expense of entertaining her and the
President. But when there is a sena-
torship in sight he may be little more
open-handed with his cash.

The Senate has a committee inquiring
into the question of why coal prices
are high. 1t seems that almost any
body could answer it, without an
elaborate investigation. The reason is
that coal is scarce; that the supply is
not equal to the demand, and therefore
those who have it for sale are charg-
ing for 1t all that they can get. 1t
costs no more to produce or market
coal now than heretofore, but there is
an opportunity for making extra
profits on it. and operators and deal
ers are taking advantage of the OPP
portunity.

Representative Griffith of Indiana
has introduced in Congress a bill to
limit fortunes in the United States.
lie thinks s1O,0OOOO0 is enough for any
man, and he would have everything
over that sum escheated to the state
and to go into the public treasury to
reduce the burdens of the taxpayers.
A fortune greater than $4,000, 900 is de-
nounced in the bill as public nuisance
and menace to public and private
welfare. The terms of the measure
apply to inheritances, and no heir, if
the bill should become law, would
be permitted to inherit more than the
sum named

Roosevelt has gone stark, staring pres
idency mad" and offers many sorts of
evidence to prove it. 1t isn't difficult
to believe that this old observer has

politics to get it.

n Tennessee, is a young miner of 10
of the name of McHarg. He wears a
blue flannel shirt and grimy overalls,
and works hard with his bands every

who controls the property. He wants
to learn the business and has com
menced at the bottom with the view of
thoroughly mastering every detail from
bottom to top. His father wanted him
to go into his office in Wall street

TO say that the men will have fair
treatment at his hands.

THE solution of the labor problem
is an impossibility," says Hon. Carroll
D. Wright, who is a member of the
Coal Strike Arbitration Commission.
And Mr.. Wright is probably correct.
The problem of labor goes to the very
foundation of society and economies.
1t has existed through all the ages and
will continue until such time as all
mankind has been educated to the high
est altruism. When every man loves
his neighbor as himself, when selfish
ness and greed have been eliminated
from human nature and generosity COW
ers the world as mantel. then there
will no longer exist a labor problem
But that happy period is still far, very
far, in the future. Meanwhile there
is much that can be done towards
bringing capital and labor into more
nearly harmonious relations and light
ening the burdens of the workers.

The mistletoe, under which every
American has recently done his duty,
comes chiefly from Brittany, says the
New York Tribune. Some seven hun

what the pig is to the Irishman-it
pays the rent. The peasants of Nor
mandy and Brittany cultivate the par
asite on their apple trees-contrary to
popular belief it rarely grows on oaks
and it forms their most profitable
crop. A few years ago the French De-
partment of Agriculture, decreed the
destruction of all mistletoe, on the
ground that it injured the apple trees.
The peasants, however denied the i'm
parchment, and as the order is not en-
forced they grow and export more
'gui" than ever for the Christmas en-
livenment of English and, American
homes.

Every bird has it's day, apparent
ly, and the day of several birds once
common enough in this country seems
to have arrived, says the London
Tattler. For instance, the fat bustard
is now practically extinct. This bird
much resembles a fat Christmas tur-
key, and at one time was easily
enough found now there are many
naturalists who would give ESQ for
one. The golden eagle is another beau
tiful bird that has become very rare
in the country. In desolate parts of
Ireland and Scotland it is still to be
met with occasionally, but the young
gamins in these parts are ever on the
lookout for the eggs of the bird, and
usually know where to find them, with
the result that the beautiful bird is
becoming scarcer every year. The
raven is also rapidly dying out of ex-
istence, as is also the goldfinch. Bird
sharing and nest robbing are largely
accountable for the disappearance of
many beautiful British birds.
That small acts sometimes produce
great effects is exemplified by the
strange case of M. Reichart, a gentle
man of means, residing in the Rue de
la Pompe, Paris. While playing at bill
lizards one evening recently in his
house M. Reichart hit ball so hard
that it bounded from the table and
through an open window, falling
through the glass roof of a %drawing
room in the next house, and smashing
a valuable Sevres vase. The crash so
alarmed an Angora cat sleeping on the
table close by that the animal sprang
up and knocked over a lamp, which
set fire to some tapestry and neces-
STATED the calling out of the fire brig
ade, causing a great deal of damage
by water. M. Reichart was engaged
to the niece of the invalid lady occu-
pying the house in which the DANA ee
was caused. The commotion, however.
had so disastrous an effect on the old
lady's nerves that she died shortly
afterwards. On learning the indirect
cause of her aunt's death, the young
lady refused to marry M. Reichart.
and the heirs are now suing him for
the damage done.
AS military motor bicycles have al
ready proved themselves to be of value
in scouting, it is probable that in near
ly every civilized country they will be
largely used in future land warfare
Why, if the fast land scout prove so
usetul. should not the navy adopt the
same methods? boat sixty feet
long, with two twenty-five horse power
engines, built very light, to carry, say,
four persons, and to be capable of
considerable speed, would be a most
useful addition to a battleship of a
fleet. says the London Star. The ordi-
nary torpedo boat is too long and
draws too much water for scouting
near shore or in shallow water, but q
launch might be made to draw less
than three feet of water, and yet have
a. speed OF upwards of thirty knots.
Ihere would be no tunnels OF smoke
to attract the notice of the enemy
and with underwater exhaust the
boat might be made almost silent. If
built low in the water, or with the
power of semi-submersion, it would be
difficult to hit. Probably such a craft
would be more useful than anything
yet invented in the way of scout for
sea purposes.
