LoBsTERs' BAD CHARACTER
Surly, Suspicious and Unsociable
and Regards Everything
as Foe.

The Scotch fishery board in its
twenty-third annual report gives the
fonowing as the characteristics of the
lobster, says American Shipping. II
Is an essentially surly, suspicious and
unsociable fish, and regards anything
that comes near II as it's foe. The
main motive of its activity is defense
and in defending itself 1t manifests a
blind and unreasonable vengeance. II
procures hole in which to wait for
its prey, and to which to retire aft
er a fight, and 1t is then unsafe for
any animal to approach 1t.
The keenness Of attack and relent
less hold when once 1t has gripped
its antagonist are due to its want OF
sight. The eye of the lobster is SC
sensitive that strong light blinds It
Although it possesses keen sigh,
when first Matched, the lobster IL
practically blind later in life It sees
nothing properly. but simply has the
sensation of light and shadow. II
tests shadow with its antennae. and
sometimes, when strong shadow is
cast on it, the lobster will leap at II
on the off-chance that 1t is a foe.
The fighting tendency makes 1t diff
ficult to keep Holsters in confinement
When once they have settled down
however, they will live at peace with
one another. but 1t is only an armed
neutrality. and II one of the FISH ever
loses its fighting power 1t is at once
attacked by the others.

has served several terms as national

ance, a voting force Of at least 200
is anticipated. Discussing the cleo
tion and the number of candidates,
Mrs. Hall said:'
"On our list of voters are all the
national officers, large body by itself,
and the past national officers (presi-
dents, secretaries and treasurers); each
state is entitled to one delegate at
large, and then we have the depart
ment presidents, past and present, the
department secretaries, past and pres
ent, and the department treasurers,
past and present. In addition to this
we have the regularly elected delegates
Of each department: which in numbers
are according to their membership. For
example, at the Denver convention
Minnesota was reported to have l64O
members. This year her membership
is reported to have increased and there
will be probably twenty-five represen-
tative delegates. Minneapolis is cen
trally located and close to states which
have very large membership.
Pennsylvania was the best represent
ed at Denver with a body of thirty
five delegates; California had twenty
four, Illinois twenty-four, and Mime
sofa and Kansas twenty-one each. The
fact that Pennsylvania is putting up
two candidates for the presidency splits
up her vote, unless one of the candi-
dates should drop out. Massachusetts
Nebraska, New, York and Indiana are
next in standing, judging from the pre-.
vious convention.

owing to her train being delayed, will
not be in town until late tonight. Mrs,
E. E. Pierce of Springfield, Mass, the
latest mentioned candidate, arrived
this morning.
There is no need denying the fact
that forces will be terribly split and
that the struggle for supremacy will be
an ardent one. Those who are in a
position to know of the inner side of
things come forth with the statement
that it will come close to a tie between
Minnesota and Massachusetts,. Mrs

splendidly fitted for the office. She

HOW THEY ELECT
Past National President Tells of the
Methods of l., of G.. A. R.

Mrs. Anna M. Hall of Wheeling, W.
Va, past national president, is in Min
neapolis. Mrs. Hall was president in
1904, during the San Francisco conven-
ton, which was one of the largest con-
ventions ever held. Mrs. Hall is the
secretary of the committee on the rules
and regulations Of the ritual work. She
appointed the committee at the time
Schade is president Of the committee.
A session will be held Tuesday morn
ing, and Mrs. Hall declares definitely
that there will be no holding over until
another convention, but that it will be
finished at any cost and without fail.
The fate Of the candidates striving
for the office of national president Of
the Ladies of the G.. A. r. will be in
the hands of about 200 delegates. A
national convention may have a maxi
mum of $50 delegates entitled to vote.
Last year at Denver the convention
had voting body Of ,l68, but as a;p-
pearances seem to indicate that the
Minneapolis convention will exceed the
one of last year in number of attend
