Much dissatisfaction is expressed
among the lobster fishermen in Hancock
county in regard to the new lobster law,
which went into effect with the new year,
and which prohibits the taking of HOLSTERS
in the waters of Hancock county from
Jan to April Is. The fishermen declare
that when they signed the petition for the
close time, they did not realize its disas-
trous consequences. This is the first win
ter for twelve years that the weather
would admit Of continuous winter fishing,
and the Hancock county fishermen are
obliged to take up their traps and remain
idle while their brother fishermen just
over the line in Knox county are raking
in the spells in a manner that threatens
to break the record for winter fishing.
Some peculiar situations are reported.
Tilden Fifield, Of West Deer Isle, fishes on
the Knox county side of the line and har-
bors on the Hancock county side. He has
been notified by the wardens to discon-
tinue fishing because he lives in Hancock
county. Another man, who will not
allow the use OF his name, has sold his
home in Stonington and purchased place
in vinalhaven, Knox county. He has
been forbidden by the wardens to remove
his lobster traps from Hancock county
until the expiration OF close time. There
fore, if he wishes to fish in his new home,
he must build an entire new gang OF traps.

SO She,

To many devotees Of the 'long barrel
slaves" it will be surprise to learn that
they are not skeeing, b, t sheeipg. The
Norwegian ''sk" being equivalent to our
ssh when it occurs before palatai vowels
''Sheeing" does not sound quite so
frolicsome and skipping as ''skeeing", but
it may sound more friendly to the ear on
more intimate acquaintance. At all events
"shee" it must be for those who wish to be
experts in every phrase of the sport, Just
as thirty-second degree players OF golf
never fail to allude to the game as ''gowf'.
Mere ability to do thing by rule and
win is not enough in these progressive
times; it takes costumes and pronuncia-
tion to qualify candidate for the expert
class,

The American Magazine recently print
ed an amusing article about the wonders
performed by the press agents. The story
of Anna Held aud her milk bath is enter
tanning.
Gamma Held came to New York, to a
music hall, unknown. Melville Stoltz
undertook to remedy this sad defect in
her technique. He planned his story
carefully in every detail, and then 'sprang'
it through the courts.
Long Island milkmsn brought suit
against Anna Held for payment on an
absurdly large quantity OF milk which he
declared he had been delivering at her
hotel at the rate OF two gallons per day.
The milk, it was brought out, was used
for her morning bath; to its use she
ascribed her marvellous beauty "a truly
imaginative touchD.
That the newspapers fell Tor this
bizarre and extraordinary story with
hungry giee, the memory OF every reader
will attest. All over the country and
round the globe to far Australia the story
went. The yellow papers even printed
pictures of Miss Held in her bath, the two
gallons modestly diluted to tubful
Miss Held and her manager and press
agent were iubilant. The case was speedily
adjusted, and the Long Island milkman
disappeared. His actual profit was $40
and block OF tickets TO see Miss Held
perform - on the stage. Just what it
cost to fix the hotel clerks will never be
known. But they were all certain that
the milk had been delivered TO Miss Held
every morning; oh, they were positive
about it! And so Miss Held became talked
about, famous, in short, an actress - a
veritabie star in the Milky. Way"

Senators Aldrich, of Rhode Island,
Allison, of Iowa, and Hale of Maine,
the big three of the Senate finance
committee and the leaders of the
Senate, have been intrusted with the
task of preparing a financial bill
designed to prevent recurrence of
national money disturbances of the
nature of the recent stringency, and
already good progress has been made.
1t is understood that the main idea
followed in framing the relief legisla-
ton will be to provide for some
emergency relief in which the people
as whole would have confidence and
could resort to when there was any
necessity. 1t is not anticipated that
there will be much opposition to the
bill when it comes over from the
Senate.

BOBCATS AND DEER.
Hancock County Wardens Favor
Bounty on the Cats.

Bounty on the Cats.
In reply to letters from the State fish
and game department, Wardens Dyer and
Thompson, OF Hancock county, wrote as
follows:
Warden F. ". Thompon, Bar Harbor:
In my judgment you do not get more
than one-half of the moose reported to you
which are shot Illegally.
Do think wildcats kill deer? l know it.
Only-last Friday found two doe deer killed
by cats. And in my travels the last three
winters have found deer killed by them, and
found where they have been chased by cats
as many as three cats, one keeping the track
and the others circling to cut the deer off, I
have noticed also that every cat dressing is
literally full of deer hairs.
In regard to cartridges. they are the scarcest
this year l ever knew them, and by close OBJ
servance am fully convinced that foxes de-
stroy old and young birds. / have seen
where the foxes have caught them while they
were buried in the snow, not once. but great
many times. Also where whole flock has
been killed by foxes, and unless something is
done for the better protection, paFtridges are
not long to be found in Maine.
l think we should have bounty on wild
cats, es pecially in Hancock and Washington
counties.
Warden George u Dyer, franklin:
Eighty-one moose is good many to be
Illegally killed in one year, but think it safe
| to add twenty more which have been killed
| which we don't know anything about.
Wildcats do kill deer. Last Friday we
found doe deer which had been killed about
two weeks, and we could not find a bullet or
| a shot in it anywhere, but its throat was all
eaten out. In the last six years 1 have found
number of deer which thought were killed
| by wildcats. This should be talked up by
everyone who is for the protection of game
and get bounty on them Their skin is only
worth about fifty cents, and the hunters won't
bother with them much for that. Foxes may
kill little deer when first born.

One young miss Of Birch Harbor, who is
fond of outdoor sport, is combining
pleasure with profit. Her latest fac is
trapping. First she traps mice which she
saws is the best of bait. She has caught
crows, skunks and cats, and one of her
latest catches was a nice fox which sold
for 50. A pet dog is her companion, and
seems to enjoy the sport as much as his

one or two mornings of every week that
take the Maine members to the capitol
earlier than usual. Gov. Burleigh is con-
stantin attending these meetings. as are
all his Maine colleagues. They do not
countenance the practice OF absenteeism,
which makes it difficult to get quorum OF

has to do with specially important BUSH

pocket is receptacle for goodly num-
Der OF the letters that come to him. Those
are letters which cannot be answered Off
hand, but must be looked up. He usu-
ally starts out by 10 o'clock, or soon
thereafter, and the package of letters, in
his inside pocket determines very largely
what course he travels for tine next hour
or Two. He has never objected to being a
