On Grand Banks
%-~ V~@
NASSENGERS on the transatlantic
- liners of today vessels which
carry as many persons as live
in a good sized town and which
the latest inventions of marine science
have made as safe as a house on shore,
have little idea what the psalmiSt
meant when he talked of the perils
of those who go down to the sea in
ships" But up along the fishing banks
they know, and they aren't fond of
the liners there, for the liners take
more lives every year than the dreaded
storms. The storms can't help wreck
ing little ships. The fishermen do not
believe that the wind blOweth where it
is fated to blow. But they also
think that no law of nature or man
forces the liner to race at top
speed across the fishing banks, cutting
down everything that gets in it's way.
The fisherman thinks he is entitled to
life, liberty and the pursuit Of fish, and
he curses the speed madness which
causes the steamship to make short
cuts at his expense. The liners don't
sink fishermen on purpose, Of course
They don't even collide with them in
~tentiOnally. 1t is like Il man stepping
uncOnSciOuSly on a bug and walking on
ignorant of the catastrophe for which
he Is responsible. The fragile little
fishing boat goes down before the steel
hulled ocean greyhound without even
causing the monster to culver.
For years the men Of the Grand
banks have complained of this, to their
minds, unnecessary addition xto the !
dangers of their calling. Now the
French government has heard them
and has issued a call fer an interna-
tiOnal conference to discuss changing
the present steamship route 3 ~ to
avoid the fishing banks. Last year
the death roll among the French traw1-
ers in Newfoundland waters was 314.
Of these it Is true that 135 pertshed

st. Pierre to equip the fishing boats

Sc. HOURS in TRANSIT.

Live stock may now be carried So
hours in cars without unloading for
food or water on the written request
Of the owner of the stock or the at
tendant In charge. A bill to this ef-
feet has passed congress and been
signed by the president. Stockmen
have worked earnestly for this legisla-
ton which extends the time from Is
to So hours for holding stock in cars
in transit. With the arguments prov
Ing the wisdom of the extension Of
time our readers are fully familiar.
It is the almost universal testimony
of shippers that unloading stock dur
ing a journey Of Is hours for feed or
water is of decidedly more damage
than benefit. The crowding in and
out of the car, the almost total lack Of
suitable facilities at many unloading
points. the filthy conditions of many
stock yards where stock has been I'M
loaded for water, and moreover the
uS1eas LII iSoGhiiS, iudi hCt, al Oil LII
portant facts which have been urged
in seeking this revised legislation.
No opposition has been voiced except
that which came from some humane
societies. Considerable activity in
opposition has been displayed by the
American Humane Association, but its
president has shown himself to be so
Impractical and reckless in his state
gments as to rob his efforts Of all con-
ssideration. Moreover, from stockmen
practically acquainted with the condi-
lions have come such emphatic APP
peals for relief from the injurious
operation Of the IS hour law that legis-
lators had no dificulty in reaching
the conclusion to amend the law. a

| But our great topic of interest was Franz
Austin's new double-runner, which had beer
built for him by wheelwright at Centreville
on OF scale of magnifcence said to throw every
tn,ng in town entirely into the shade.
frank was not very talkative on the sub
}eet-he didn't need to be, since George Fox
naa seen it. To have that fellow know any
thing was just the same as to publish il in
the newspapers. So, Frank stood by with a
knowing smile, while George described the
sled with much enthusiasm, and vowed he had
never seen anything like it, which was very
probable.
FRANK was great man that day, and the
boys weren't at all backward about asking him
Tor trip on the runner, until he, Frank. who
was as good-natured and obliging as any one
could be, had promised places enough to fiji
ms sled three or four times over.
BY the next afternoon, the snow had been
pretty well trodden down, and the day. forth.
nateiy, happened to be Saturday besides: so
Church Hill became the centre of attraction,
and II you had been there about two O'clock
you would have seen nearly every boy in New
Damascus there or going there as fast ga he
could each one dragging his sled.
1t was long, high hill, and the road to
Centreyille went over it at the highest mart
There was turn in the road near The hot

L should think it was a good half miIa fror,

could slide to, and we usually started third
of the distance below the summit, on acco,n.
Of the long walk back; and, indeed t;n,;S
coasters preferred to do SO, under anv c;,o,,,'
stances, some nerve being required to start
from the lofty top.
Frank and his double-runner were on bon,
early, and we all took good look at tbe ' TaV.,
machine. 1t was long, stout, hardwo eI
plank fastened on two sets of runners Iii, al
a pivot on the first set, so that it could he
easily steered.
The whole affair was neatly built and nrst
tily painted; but Tom said he thought Il
looked "rather ticklish." A good many other
thought the same; but they didn't care Is sav
SO.
Most of us would have been willing to take
our chances on the runner if we had been IN
on almost any other hill; but we didn't liz

bottom

Are you going to start from there?' asked
several dismayed voices.
Yes, of COURSE" answered Frank, who was
a brave, reckless lad, and was besides little
provoked at our reception of his sled. when

We silently turned to and pulled the runner
to the highest point of the hill. And it did
seem dreadfully high up therel
who's going?" asked Frank.
Yes, who was going? That was the ques
ton. Those who had been promised places
the day before now showed surprising generos-
ity in Offering their chances to their less for
tunate companions, and for moment nobody
responded.
Then, to everybody's surprise, Tom Thurlow
stepped forward and said he was going lie
had been the loudest in predicting all sorts of
disasters, and had just been vehemently as
serting that the start from the top insured
the death of everybody foolish enough to go.
But that was just his way-grumble and go in.
He took the end of the plank, Frank, of
course, sitting in front to steer. The space
between them filled up quickly enough, now
that Tom had broken the ice, and there was
quite rush for seats toward the last.
Tom gave push with his foot, and We be-
gan to move slowly down the hill
"Hold on with your knees!" shouted Frank.
"Sit straight, and don't lean over!"
There wasn't much necessity for the first
order after we got fairly started. /, for one,

the narrow plank, to which glued my knees,
while holding up my feet on each side, and
convulsively grasping Joe Jones' waist with
my arms.
How that sled did fly! We could hardly
see the fence posts as we rushed by them.
The wind whistled through our hair, brought
the water to our eyes, and a binding cloud
Of snow blew all over us. Whenever we

We boys had been waiting fol
good weather for coasting-"sliding," we usee
70 call it-and had waited long time, too.
Ihere had been almost every other sort o.
weather. and we had managed to enjoy our
selves pretty well, as, in fact, we always did.
We had skated on Long Pond, played foot
ball on the common, and had had good time

low, as we came out of school at four o'clock
