A Mountain Of Sea Food.

Leigh Hunt once skittered sonnet
at the salt water fish. He called them
rather impolitely "dreary mouthed,
gaping wretches of the sea-" he re-
preached them with being mute,
Though dwellers in the roaring
waste" and he asked them how they
passed their Sundays. Minor poets can
be as foolish sometimes az other folk.
BY reason of the activities of our fish
ing fleet last year quite number of
the "wretches Of the sea" definitely
ceased to pass their Sundays in any
manner. The vessels of the fleet made
6,9O6 trips to the fishing grounds last
year and on their return unloaded at
Boston S9,69337O pounds Of fish, worth
$2,117 .324, and at smelliest Gloucester
80, 7O7. $40 pounds, worth $1,955,0 ,03S; to-
tai weight of the fish landed at these
two ports last year, 17O,4O1 ,21O pounds

Clever With the Cards,

Some years ago q certain county jan
was undergoing extensive alterations
during which time gang Of pickpock-
cts, four in number, were arrested one
market day. Owing to the alterations
the lot were confined for a time in one
cell. but were placed under strict sur
veillance, the care Of them being spe-
cially intrusted to the sergeant. The
day after during his rounds he spied
them playing cards, when he promptly
opened the door and summoned fel-
low constable, on whose arrival the
cell and the prisoners were most care
fully searched, but no cards were
found. However, the card playing still
continued until the day on which the
pickpockets were to be sent to the as
sizes for trial. Then the superintend-
snt, a very kind man and great ia
vorite with every one, asked them as
a favor to tell him where they had hid
den the cards. They told him that as
soon as the sergeant and his comrade
entered their cell they stuck the pack
in his pocket and picked 1t again be-
fore he left, as proof of which they
presented him with the much used
pack.-Pearson's Weekly.

A Brides Dilemma.

A humorous romance is reported
from Natal, where a youthful Hindoo
bride was recently called upon to
choose between her husband and her
Jewels. The case came before the Dur
ban police court In the first instance,
where the brides parents. says the
Natal Mercury. accused her husband Of
abducting her while under thirteen
years of age. The bride, however,
claimed to be eighteen, and the magis-
trate dismissed the case. Outside the
court a tug Of war took place between
the two parties for the possession of
the bride, in the course Of which it ap-
peared that what her parents particu-
larly. desired was not herself. but her

IF ANYTHING else were needed
to show the false basis on which the
O. S. forestry service has been at
tackled, the cap sheaf was added by
the few members of the Farmers club
who held meeting in Glenwood last
Friday wnen they passed resolutions
to the effect that the timber does not
conserve the moisture. Right truly
did Theodore Rosenberg at the stock
mems meeting at Carbondale warn
the cattlemen against giving express
sion in their resolutions or otherwise
to false and ridiculous statements. He
cal led their attention to many state
ments which have been made by them
or in their behalf and pointed out
that such matter going before the de-
partment at Washington would place
them in bad light so that all other
statements they might make would be
regarded with suspicion. If the stock
men were to set out to make them
selves ridiculous in the eyes of the
government officials and all other
thinkers and observers they could
scarcely have adopted more certain
method than by passing the resolu-
tions on this subject written and pre-
sented by Mr.. Holmes and printed
elsewhere.

The Wonderful Ability Of Swine to Live
Without Food.
Very few people have any idea OF
how long swine can live without food,
although much has been said about the
quantity they can consume. But. be-
lieve me- piggie is a record breaker
when 1t comes to living without any
thing at all to eat.
The Incident that l am about to re-
late occurred in Michigan and very
well illustrates what have above
stated.
A farmer who had driven large
number Of hogs into a settlement to
sell after reaching his destination miss
ed fine black SOW. Search was made
In every conceivable place without dis
covering anything of the missing pork
er.
Weeks passed by, and the farmer had
given up all hope Of ever recovering
his lost or stolen property when to his
surprise it was found In the cellar OF
an old abandoned house.
As the house was situated at the edge
OF the road over which he mad driven
the hogs, it Is supposed that she fell
through the rotten flooring upon which
she had stepped at some moment when
the farmers eyes had wandered in an.
other direction.
When brought up she was pitiable
sight. The skin hung in folds upon her
poor, unpadded bones.
Food was given her in small quaint
ties at FIRST, and 1t was not long before
she entirely recovered from her long
fast.
On referring to the books recording

saw nothing but the tumbling white caps of
the ocean. The sun had gone down, and the
surface of the water fast losing its
brilliant hues in the shadows OF descending
night.
The roar of the breakers came up to the
boy, on the narrow rock and filed his heart heart
with strange terror. few late gus
whirled before his eyes, as if to mock his
feeting hopes, and darkness came down over
the scene.
The young egg-hunter of Cornwall was ter
ribly imprisoned!
1t was some time before he ventured to in.
vestigate the hole in the cliff The loss of
his rope had taken his mind from everything
else.
When he did turn into the dark place and
strike match along the rough wall, most
astonishing discovery rewarded him. He
seemed to have been suddenly transported
into veritable smugglers' paradise.
On every side were the fruits of many. a
nights foray along the coast-boxes contain
ing silks and laces, and contraband merchan-
disc of every description.
The cave was provided with natural shelves,
which were stored with goods, and costly fur
niture existed everywhere in profusion.
If the Cornish boy had found the Snug
glers cave with his good rope waiting for
him over the cliff, he would have rejoiced,
but he was imprisoned where his life was in
imminent danger.
A return of the smugglers, luckily for the
pretty soon put an end to his career Of cliff
Climbing, and the little home behind the
waters would never know his fate.
Brant Burton had no doubt that he had
discovered the cave of the very men for
whose detsction the government had offered
a large reward No person had dreamed
that it existed in that vicinity, and the in
Los Angeles herald., 1907-02-17

terror of the cavern in the cliff told the boy
that it had been used for evil purposes
long time.
After awhile the moon came up and silver
ed the rolling waves of the channel. Its
light fell against the foot of the cliff, and
showed the boy at intervals the scant path
way between the sea and the rock.
Armed with coil of rope which he mad
found among the smugglers' goods he leaned
over the ledge and tried to measure the dis
tsnce between him and the water. 1t was
uncertain work in the moonlight, but he did
the best he could.
lay along the foot of the cliff, which was slip
perry and washed by the tide.
The Cornish boy dropped his rope and saw
it reach the rocks below.
A thrill of exultation took possession of his
heart.
He fastened the other end of it to an iron
staple in the cavern, and thrust into his
bosom piece. of peculiar lace which he took
from one of the boxes. He remembered hay
ing heard a coast guardsman say that a certain
kind of lace was being smugged into Cornwall,
and he believed he had found it.
When all was ready, the young gullhunter
again trusted his fortunes to a swaying rope
this time to one he had never before
tested
The following moment. he was swinging be-
tween cliff and sea, going. down hand over
hand toward the surging tide.
When he touched the rocks beneath, he was
his very feet
He shuddered when he thought that he
would have to follow the narrow path for
more than mile before there. was a. break
in the cliffs but he nerved himself for the
task and started off.
It proved to be the most perilous journey
of his life. All the way he was compelled
to hug the wall of rock. with the roaring
surf leaping at him like army of wolves
More than once he was caught, and barely
saved himself by clingng to rocks that cut
like knives
At last Brant Burton reached the break in
the Cornish wall. 1t was to him gate of
safety.
Springng forward, after, brief rest, he
ran to the village and told his story to the
! constable of the coast guard. 1t was hard
to believe, but his hands and the lace were
proof enough.
That night half a dozen men went down
over the cliff to the .smugglers' cave, and
when the thieves came back with more booty,
every one fell into the hands of the law.
Sid Sloper had no idea when he cut the
Cornish boys rope that he was enriching him

left the country before the law could deal with
] him, and never returned.

over the cliffs, leaving the poor birdnester
in terrible predicament.
Brant Burton, the gull-hunter, had resolved
to investigate the opening in the cliff about
sundown, when there was not so much danger
Of his being seen; and when he reached the
ball OF fire, beneath the waves of the channel.
Paying out his rope, he made one end fast
to a jagged rock near the brink of the cliff,
and with his basket strapped to his back,
swung himself over the wall.
1t was not his first descent on a similar
mission; He always kept a cool head and
steady hands on such occasions, for beneath
him., hundreds of feet sometimes, boiled the
whirlpoos of the English Channel
This time his good rope did not fail him.
for after brief descent he stood on scanty
ledge of rock with the darkening sky far
above and the wild waters below
The hole in the cliff was large enough to
admit man, though it had not looked SO
from his point of observation. To the Cor
nish boy it seemed more than a mere rendez-
vous for gulls.
All at once something fell past the boy,
and the next moment, to his horror, he dis
covered that his rope had vanished!
For moment he stood paralyzed by this
awful catastrophe, for he could realize fully
what it meant.
After awhile he went to the very edge of
the ledge and looked up. He could not catch
glimpse of dangling cord of any kind, and
hundred feet below the white waves of the
channel dashed against the foot of the wall.
His situation was terrible.
If this is your work, Sid Sloper, may heaven
forgive you! !" exclaimed the young egg hunter
"Pve caught you following me before now
for, you don't want anybody to make a few
shilings but yourself"

dressed figure that slouched down the narrow
road toward him, and paused at last few
feet away to watch him with pair of jealous
eyes.
"Mending your rope, are you?" suddenly
asked the man.
The boy looked up, and for the first time
saw the evillooking speaker
"Yes, Sid, I'm strengthening a few strands" "
answered the ropemender. "The sharp rocks

when he goes down."
