fortable resting places for the clam eaters during the indolent summer nights. The soft banks thrown up by the dredges heve made the housing problem too easy for these restless burl rowers- 4 real house may yet be found, occasionally. with patch of hoar-frost on the south side showing active life within. But the fates and the law breakers are against these venturesome builders, and the rlluskrats of the marsh are becoming colony of bank-burrow- ers. It is satisfactory to know that they are comfortably housed and that they can forage daily under the ice without fear of molestation. In ad- Iyancing evening the bleak stiffness of the frozen marsh recalls, in contrast, the noisy chatter of the rails and the loud croaking of the frogs when the tall, close cat-tails seemed large against the summer night sky, and the fire flies drew fire lines of light across the indistinguishable darkness of the still

THE FROZEN MARSH.

There is satisfaction in tramping

 marshes throughout the summer. The

 wilted and shrunken, holding the hgnt snow in yielding masses. The tall rusn-

 through and swept away the season g

 erect like threatening bris.les on the rough, crunching surface of the ice.

 Attorney Oliver s. White, acting for ". J. Bryan, as an executor of the will of the late Phiio s. Bennett, brought suit yesterday in the superior court to have a construction of parts of the will.
 The writ shows that claims nave been made by different defendants, and ques- tions and doubts have arisen as to the construction of the will of said deceased as to the legal effect, thereon and as to the duty of the plaintiff therein. The new phase in the effort to oust William J. Bryan as executor of the will of the late Philo s. Bennett in the probate court yesterday was the filing of a demurrer to the application on the part of Mir. Bryan's attorneys, Newton, Church & Hewitt. The argument on this and the main application for re- moval was postponed until January F.. In the demurrer to the application MT.

name having been selected by his
mother. But this did not please his
father. The latter thought that Cady
might be softened into Katie-and his
child was a big bouncing boy. When
the boy attained few years his faith
er told him to write his name d. Cady
Herrick. He said: "The d will signify
the only letter of the alphabet for
which it stands. If people choose to
think that it stands for name in

you, write your name d. Cady Herrick

ground.

toward the waited hut beneath the
