The thin man in this case was un-

tered.
"Thc thing to do" said the thin man,
addressing 10 one in particular, lis to

He looked at the fat man, but the lat

He looked at the fat man again, but
there was no response.

Innocent Advice.

POunderby. who found things Stacking
somewhat at her reception. Il am sure

But the nervous Dickson protested
that, in spite of his face, he could not
oblige. and some one else stepped into
the breach. A little later on, however,
while the hostess happened to be out
of the room, his courage revived and
he sang Bonnie Mary of Argyle" in a
way that made one feel sorry for
Mary.
In due course the party broke up,
and Dickson was one of the first to
leave.
"Goodby, dear Mr.. Dickson" said the
innocent Mrs. Pounderby effusively. Il

ought to learn, you know

Sheboygan, Mich, grew from small
town to hustlng city by securing am
pie manufacturing industries. For
many years Sheboygan experienced but
little growth, but in 1870 manufacture
ing industries were sought for and en-
couraged. The few established brought
such good results that many others
were started, and today the town has
extensive tanneries and various 9th
or industries and has made remarka-
BILE growth in population. Every town
that wishes to progress should be well
supplied with manufacturing indus
tries and lose no chance to secure an
increase of such industries.

tempt was in 1850. when contract
was given to Il Flttsburg firm. An
enormous caisson was constructed, and
preparations made to sink 1t in place
during period Of calm weather. but
Il sudden storm swept the work away.
Since then no further effort has been
made to build n permanent light.

the idea Of building lighthouse. Cap
tain Albert +. Eells OF Boston has pro-
posed plan. which the government
experts have approved. and he will
construct at his own expense a light
house and fog signal on Outer Dia-
mond ShOal.
Captain Eells' plan is to build at
Newport News, Va. big steel diving
bell. which will not only be hollow in
the middle, but will have hollow sides.
This big bell will be seventy feet in
diameter Mt the bottom and taper up to
twenty-nlne feet at the top. The inner
and outer sides of the bell will be
made Of steel plates, and the space be-
tween them will be water tight. Enough
stone and cement will be dropped in
the lower part of this space to cause
the big bell to float upright. with its
top sticking out of the water 1t will
then be tOwcd to Outer Diamond shOal
and anchored in thirty feet of water
over the spot where the lighthouse is
to be built.
Then the hollow sides will be filled
with rock and cement until the bell
sinks to the bottom. driving Its lower
edges into the sand. The water will
be pumped out Of the center. and the
bell will then become Caisson, which
will be kept free from water by COM
pressed air After the sand is removed
down to the lower edge of the bell ten
layers Of masonry will be laid in the

where stock Deals Are Secret.

''New Workers look on Washington as
one of the best towns in the United
States in the matter of trading in the
market" said resident of the capital,
''There is more secret buying and sell
ing OF stocks going on in Washington
than in any other city in the country,
for the reason that so many of the
men operating are in the employ Of the
government and are afraid to be seen
in the brokers' offices. Many of these
men are under bond. and one of the
conditions of their bond is that they
must refrain from specuatin" and
from playing the races. But this pro
hibition doesn't keep them from taking
a flier in stocks, only they do it in such
private way that few people know of
their deals which are transacted be-
fore and after regular business hours

NORTHERN LEAGUE STANDING
WALTER SCARFF SHOT.

Miss Gilmore Scarf, bookk eeper in
the local telephone office. received
word on Wednesday, notifying her, that
her brother, Walter, twelve years old,
was shot on Tuesday afternoon while
out berrying. She will leave for her
home in Burlington this afternoon.
The X rays will be used on the boy
today to locate the bullet before an
operation is performed. He is the son
of Mr.. and Mrs. O. W. Scarf who re-
side on Shelburne road just out of
Burlington. Mr.. Scarf is we'll known
in this city and throughout the State
being a special agent of the New Eng
land Telephone and Telegraph Com
pany.
The boy was shot in the abdomen by
careless hunter. In company with
some other boys the lad went to the
Scarf farm near Spear street berrying,
and while there the shot was fred
by some unknown person. The boy
was brought to his home as soon as
possible and an examination made.
1t was not thought best, however, to
attempt to remove the bullet Tues.
day and nothing could be said that
evening as to the probable outcome CT
the accident.
