One Of the largest Holsters taken in
Maine waters in recent years was
caught near Biddeford pool a short
time ago. 1t weighed 1115 pounds.
AS compared with the Holsters usually
seen this was giant. Harry B. Aver,
register of probate in York county,
drew the prize while hauling traps.
Mr.. Aver will have the specimen set
up. Various estimates as to the probable
age of this veteran were given by
fishermen and others around the pool.
One gave it as his opinion that the
lobster was from 40 to so years old.

Tribute by the Greatest Singer Of Her
Day to the "star spanelSd Banner"

Fifty years ago, when Jenny Lind
was singing in New York, the Ameri-
"an frigate. ST. Lawrence, returning
from a cruise abroad, came into the
harbor. The young midshipmen, on
he first night of their shore leave,
went to hear the famous singer.
The next day the boys, to express
the emotions that her wonderful voice
had stirred in them, called on her IN
body. They hardly expected that
she would receive them, but she did;
and she was so charmed by their
youthfulness and ingenuousness that
when they timorously asked her II she
would like to see their ship. she &C.
cepted the invitation. Then, growing
bolder. they asked her to luncheon,
and she accepted that invitation, too.
When, on the appointed day, she
came on board with her companion,
the captain saw her from his cabin
and recognized her.
There is nothing more strict than
the courtesy observed in ship etiquette
among officers of all ranks. OF the
three messes-the captains table, the
wardroom and the steerage mess,
where the midshipmen ate--no ofiicer,
from captain down, would make him
self one of company at another
mess unless especially hidden.
In this case the captain rang the
bell for the orderly.
Tell the gentlemen of the steerage
mess" he said, that the captain is
going ashore, and that his cabin is at
their disposal if they care to use it."
The luncheon, however, was eaten
In the steerage. But after the pleas
ant meal was over the boys proudly
invited their guest into the captains
cabin, where they took their coffee.
ASK her to sing something" whis-
pered the paymaster's clerk.
"Pll thrash you if you dare!" re-
turned one Of the midshipmen, under
his breath.
The wardroom officers had guests,
too. They brought up guitars and sat
on the poop-deck above, singing "The
Suwanee River" and other popular
songs
"How pretty!" cried Jenny Lind, |
with enthusiasm, clapping.
When at last she was leaving, she |
paused on the step between the carved !
sides of the gangway. Looking up at
the floating Stars and Stripes, she
said
Il wish to salute her flag"
Uncovering her head and holding
her hat in her hand, she began to
sing "The Star Spangled Banner"
AS she sang the first verse every
officer and every man came silently On
deck. When she had sung the song
to the end, deafening cheers rang out
from the st. Lawrence and were taken
up by every ship near by, for all had
been listening.
Steamers blew their whistles; and
every man within reach of that thrill
ng voice knew that he had heard one
If the most inspiring songs in the
world sung as he would probably
lever hear it sung again.

Thrifty Parisians.

August Is busy month at the mont
de piete, as the French government
pawnbroking establishment is called.
Its Golfers are crowded with jewelry,
silver plate and all sorts of valuables.
This is not due to wave of impecuni-
osity, but merely to the fact that Pa.
riSians leave for the seaside or the
mountains, and they have found that
it costs less to have their valuables
under the protection of the state pawn
broker in return for a small loan than
to place them in a safety deposit
vault.

A BrotkAr's Duty,

OdAys
There is no better test Of a gentle
man than his treatment OF women.
Now to which ought every young man
to show the highest. truest gallantry? I?
To whom ought he first to be a most
true and loyal knight? To whom If
not to his own sisters? Do they not
come FIRST in the circle Of those to
whom he owes honor? Have they not
the first claim on his affection? II he
is not respectful and loyal to his own
sisters, can he be at heart true gen.
teman to any other woman? Can a
young man be manly and treat his
own sisters with less respect than he
treats other young ladies'? asks the
New York Weekly. His chivalry must
show itself first toward those who are
closest to him in natural ties. He
must show them the truest Difference,
He must treat them with that delicate
regard, that gentle, affectionate re-
SPect, that indicates the loftiest gal.
lantry. He must consider himself their
true knight, whose office it is to throw
about them every needed protection,
TO serve them, and to promote their
highest good in every way. There is
no young man with one spark of true
manliness who will not instinctively
defend his sister. He will put himself
instantly between her and danger.
Neither is there any brother worthy
"l the name who will not defend the
Aenor of his sister If vile tongues
Rsperse it. But more than this is re. |
CURED of loyal brother. He should |
make himself a wall about his sister |
to shield her from every evil and AN
holy influence.
