His Prize.

His Prize.
The biggest swordfish that has been
caught this season off Seaconnet was
brought to the Seaconnet Point wharf
Wednesday afternoon In the big sail
boat II. A. b. by Capt. Thomas A.
Buell.. To Peter Blockinger belongs
the honor Of first sighting the big fish
and Of sending the harpoon into 1t
with such good aim and force that an
hours struggle by the fish failed to
wrest the barb from its side. The
swordfish weighed nearly 225 pounds
and was more than ten feet long from
it's tail to the tip of it's long and hand
some sword.
With Captain Buell. at the wheel,
and Pete standing in the pulpit, with
eyes on the sea and harpoon in
readiness for quick work, the T. A.
B. was propelled by gasolene engine
and sail, and cruised, while all hands
kept sharp watch to see a big black
fin and tail protruding above the
water. Suddenly Pete sang out,
There's one" and pointed to Where
not thirty feet away and just to the
right, a big swordfsh lay motionless
at the top of the water, fin and tall
out, basking in the sun. Captain
Buell. steered carefully and the boat
crawled up toward the fish, while
Pete stood ready with barbed har-
poon ten feet long poised ready for
strike.
When the pulpit was almost over
the fish it lazily swan to the right
and commenced to sink slowly. Then
with all the force of both strong
arms Pete sent the heavy harpoon
soidly into the fish. His aim was
true. The double spearhead BARI

OLD TIME PosTMAsTERS.
They Were Called Upon to Do All
Manner of Queer Things.

Manner Of Queer Things.
The modern postmaster may think
he has troubles Of his own, but there
was a time, along about 1917, when
he was called upon TO do all man.
ner Of queer things. For instance,
in rummaging through an old trunk
venerable resident Of Washington
recently unearthed an age stained
pamphlet which announced the in
auguration Of a new daily and
thrice a week paper" TO be printed
"at the seat of government" The an
nouncement was dated April 8, 1917,
and after a voluminous exposition of
the virtues Of the proposed paper
the editor said:
"Postmasters are hereby author
lied to receive subscriptions for the
Gazette, and for all moneys collected
and transmitted TO the editor, at the
city Of Washington, discount Of 10
per cent will be allowed. Distant
subscribers will have their papers
carefully packed and punctually for
warded to order"
Then follows a set Of blank spaces
where the postmaster might append
the names Of the subscribers. The
entire pamphlet was complete, and
copy was sent, presumably to every
postmaster in the then United States.
II every postmaster could thus be
used as a mail order agent" In these
days of strenuous competition what
variety of duties they would be
called upon to perform. But under
the system that then existed this
method was entirely proper, and 1t
Is said that the postmasters made
considerable revenue from these
sources. Needless to say this was be-
fore the days Of the now celebrated
fraud order" which the postoftice
department issues with every return
Ing sun.
But getting back to the "prospec-
tus." 1t is a weird affair, wonder
fully and fearfully made. 1t actu-
ally states that "a competent re-
porter will be employed to furnish
the proceedings Of congress for the
Gazette" and that "all interesting ar
ticles Of intelligence will be carefully
selected and published" When II
says that all public documents and
state papers will be printed at full
length" one is Immediately reminded
of the Congressional Record, a pub
lication that has been without a rival
in the memory Of man.
It Is also interesting that the edi'
tor to be, one Jonathan Elliott, ad-
vertised in April that he would star
paper in October. And he expected
all these subscriptions to be forth
coming, evidently before the paper
was established.-New Haven Union

fF There Is "old maid" insurance in
Denmark. Women who think they
may become old maids pay so much
a year and at forty receive pensions
for life. II they marry before forty
what they have paid in premiums
goes to swell the amount available
for the benefit Of their less fortunate
sisters.

TRADE JOURNAL.

Chicago, Aug. 1S.-Recovery from
the demoralized conditions which
have dominated the western bitumin-
Gus coal market during the summer is
still very slow and precarious. At
the same time the spirit prevailing in
the trade is plainly more optimistic
than for many weeks past. The act
ual demand for coal for immediate de-
livery continues light, but the bargain.
hunter receives much less considera-
ton at the hands Of sales agents and
jobbers than he did last month and
his search for snaps is by no means as
easily successful.
Even with the present light demand
for western Goals, operators are al
ready experiencing dllhculty in secur-
ing sufficient cars to meet the needs
of their trade. The question of car
supply is therefore rapidly becoming
the chief topic of conversation in the
wide intervals between the transaction
OF business. The unusual earliness
at which signs Of car shortage are
appearing, taken in connection with
the statements on the subject emali-
ating from traffic managers of various
railways, seems to give good reason
for the belief, or at least the fear that
the troubles of the coal trade from
this source are going to be unprece-
denied later in the season.
