TO the little children i'm the large

ita surrounding woods and fields would
constitute a country district of peculiar
scenic charm and endless delights. 1t

upbuilding of strong characters. Maine

The leaders of the big teamsters'
strike now on in Chicago declare en-
phaticaIly that they are opposed to all
violence. They should. therefore, lend
their endorsement to such steps as the
mayor and governor may see fit to
take for the preservation of order and
the protection of life and property. 1t
is doubtless true that a large part of
the rjotiny charged to the strikers is
really the work of irresponsible
toughs who have no connection what
ever with labor organizations.

remarkable eaten was made tins
other day by Jesse Black OF Orrs
Island. one OF the best known or the
lower bay fishermen. He was out on
the banks and succeeded II: landing a
handsome So pound cod. Ihere was
nothing particularly extraordinary

Black had returned to his home and
had started 10 dress 1t. Then he dis

tanned large bird and wnen finally the
feathery creature was removed 1t was
found to be IL large devil bird, which IS
about the size of gull and Is one OF
the Coot family. How tre bird hap
pencd into the stomach OF the cod was
a mystery for it was easy to see that It
had not been eaten by the fish and must
simply have forced its way into the cod
alive. The only possible explanation of
the renarka bic affair was that the cod
was evidently making it's way straight
up to the surface of the water at the
same time that the devil bird was max
ing a dive downward in search OF fool
and that the two came together fairly
the cod opened it's mouth just at the
right time and the poor devil bird un-
able to stop its blight downward
through the water simply went into the
Gods mouth and the fish finished the
act by swallowing him. The fact that
the bird was inside the cod did not
seem to bother the latter in the least
and when he was pulled over the side
Of the boat by Mr.. Black he was as
lively AS any Goldfish would be under
similar conditions.
