Great Activity in Hatcheries.

There will be great activity in the
State fish hatcheries this summer, there
having been specific appropriation
for extensive repairs. Commissioner
Meehan has been apportioning the
money so az to give each a share,
which will result in putting each sta.
tion in the best possible shape. He ex-
poets to have most of the work com.
pleted before winter sets in so that
everything will be in readiness for op.
Grafton next spring. This year the out
put of fish was over 652, 900, 900. With
the completion of the new buildings
and ponds the output in the near fu-
ture will be more than /, 200, 900. 600 a
year. This summer also a contract will
be placed for the building of a large
tug for Lake Erie This vessel will
materially assist in increasing the out
put of fish by the State. 1t is designed
to use it partly for the purpose of
spawn gathering on Lake Erie, and
for patroling purposes TO suppress IL
legal fishing on Lake Erie within the
jurisdiction of Pennsylvania. When
the work planned by Commissioner
Meehan is completed, the hatcheries
will be better equipped for immense
outputs of fish than any of the other
State hatcheries and will only be ex-
ceeded by those of the United States
government. Commissioner Meehan
starts on his tour of the hatcheries on
the first of July and he expects that it
will occupy his time for fully three
weeks

That our American Forests abound IN
plants which possess the most valuable
medicinal virtues is abundantly attested
by scores OF the most eminent medical
writers and teachers. Even the untu-
tored Indians had discovered the useful
ness OF many native plants before the
advent of the white race. This informa-
tion, impaired freely TO the whites, led
the latter to continue investigations until
to-day we have rich assortment of most
valuable American medicinal roots.

ABOUT SAVING

"There was never boru who, if he lived the life
he should live, could not lay aside something from the
fruits of each days labors.
This is declaration made recently by great New DIRK
nancer in explaining the secrets of his success The
foundation of all that finally made him millionaire and
power in the financial world, according to his own
words unaterable determination to save something
He started to live appretice to shoemaker in his home
town. He saved money to go to the city That the
beginning of his fortune He secured work and went
saving bit by Bit until he ready to launch out for
himself.
The trouble with too many of us is that consent to
live 'from hand to mouth" We complain that we are
forced to- when in reality too weak to forego some
pleasure habit that may lay small portion of
earnings aside.
Those of us who grind way from weeks end to
the other always waiting for luck to change and never
forcing another turn of the Wheel slaves Just truly
and just surely though iron ball chained to
ankles and the knout welded our backs.
The masters of slaves appear in many forms; the
weights that prevent escape from slavery are cast from
diverse materials. Expensive habits false pride foolish
luxury lack of natve want of ambition lazness of mind

Of qualities which others every day OF our

Are YOU one of these slaves? Are you OF those

the rksome grind of your work. If you are don't wait
for emancipation Free yourself. DO away with the good
clothes give up the whisky the card playing and smoking
if necessary. Throw little energy into your work.
Earn a little more and spend little less.

THE RUNAWAYS

Betsy had decided that it was
indeed the Long Lane That Leads
To Nowhere. For 4 hours the big
red motor had bowled along, up hill
and down hill. through woods and
orchards and meadow lands, some
times fast and sometimes slow, but
the long lane continued without a
turn and without an ending.
A lone horseman astride a skit-
fish black horse came up over the
brow of the hill which Betsy's car
war laboriously climbing. The
horse became frightened and SHE'D
to the side of the road. Betsy
stopped the car and motioned fol
the horseman to pass. But the
rider, nice looking young fellow
whom she had seen some place be
fore, spurred his mount directly in
front of the big red car and
nodded
How do you do, Miss Linton,

The auto coughed systematically
Miss Betsy footed the horn Zero
ciously; the new colt raised on his
hind legs Economically and tossed
Mr.. Howard Garfield into the ton
neau of Miss Betsy's car, well with
out hurting him much. Then the
colt flung out his heels, cracked one
of the levers-the one which makes
the car go-and set out for home
the auto following after.
(Of course, by now, the reader is
beginning to suspect that this story
is utterly untrue.) But anyhow, the
car continued down the Long Lane
That Leads To Nowhere, with
Betsy Linton at the wheel and
Howard Garfield in the tonneau
nursing his barked shins.
However" said Garfield, the
lane does end-and the end is a.
the bottom OF this next hill. MY
house is at the end Of the lane.
And it was then that Betsy discov
cred that the car was running
away. The colts kick had smashed
the lever into the shape of bent
brass and try as she did she was

The Daily Short Story

unable to yank it back to the stop
notch Garfield tried and they both
tried, but the lever refused to
bulge. To leap out would be sheer
folly. so fast were they covering
the ground. A hundred yards away
the lane ended at the door of an
impressive and cool looking brown
stone country house. A driveway,
describing a circle, ran from the
gate through the gardens to an ex-
pansive porte cochere and back to
the gate again. Garfield told her to
this and advised her to follow the
circle for a few hours or SO until
the gasoline ran out.
There is no other way, | sup
pose" said Betsy, as they passed
under the porte cochere the second
time. We'll have to let the gaso-
. line run out"
A group of house servants had
assembled on the veranda, wide
eyed and staring. Among them was
an elderly clerical looking gentle
man, rubbing his hands and star
ing in amazement.
why, what is DR.. McMasters do
ing here?" exclaimed the girl in the
auto. He's our rector, you know
Yes" said Garfield. Yours and
mine. BY the way, Betsy, will you
marry me?"
"Ye-yes," said the girl tremulous-
ly. Il am going to run into that
tree when we come around next
time"
Don't do it," cried Garfield.
Wen need the machine for our
, honeymoon. | am going to signal
| DR.. McMasters to jump into the car
when we come around next time.

into the car from the roof of the
porte cochere after they had made
