makers profession one needs to know
the sacredness of the fishing net. and
the protection which the law affords.
At Gloucester they used to quarantine
town stricken with smallpox by plac-

and well nigh unconscious, his death
being expected at any hour. We
plainly remember "Jim's" face for
more than two score of years in this
village and face that has changed
seemingly little by this lapse of time.
He has seen nearly all whom he
learned to know pass on ;before him to

bis among the last Of his generation to
bid farewell to the scenes so long ia
