A True Golden Fish .

G. Parducci, Santa Clara, CAL, fish
vender, in cleaning q thirty-pound sea-
bass recently, was greatly surprised to
find in the stomach of the large fish gold
locket containing the photograph of a
young lady. He received his consignment
Of fish from Monterey, as usual, and how
long the fish's stomach had held the locket
is mystery.
1t may have been the property Of the
young lady, who might have been drowned
in the picturesque waters of Monterey
bay, or it might have been the keepsake of
a lover who met watery grave, or per-
haps someone lost it in the breakers by
accident. 1t Is one of those mysterious
finds which occasionally turn up, but is
unusual in the case of sea bass.
The sharks of Monterey are noted for
the variety Of treasure they carry in their
castiron stomachs. Some time ago hugh
eight-foot shovelnose was landed by
fisherman, and when opened his stomach
was found to contain an assortment of
articles that might have stocked junk
shop. Among other things was an old
style Waterbury watch, two steel finger
rings, numerous tishhooks and sinkers,
and lady's stocking.

gathered into barns and cellars; when
there WAS the husking- bee in the old barn
floor. We fancy we can now see ropes
strung across, hung with lanterns; the
joyous lads and lasses while husking goes
on; the hunting for red ears of corn-you
know what for-and then later, when the

High winds rattle loose boards on the

in memory beat out the barley, rye, oats,
wheat, beans and peas on the barn floor

You were dreaming then, perhaps, OF
brighter days for yourself. Your young
heart yearned for broader field and freer
air, where you could have ample room to
spread your growing wings OF ASPIRATION,
and soar to your houses in the skies of
your thought pictures of what comprised

ire cooperating with the school de
partment, say that the high-school.
Boys are making better progress than
he full-time apprentices, and Superin.
teIdent Joseph G. Edgerly of the
Fitchburg public schools reports that
he schoolroom work of these boys Is
fully up to the standard.
The success of the Fitchburg plan
seems so well assured that steps are
being taken in a number of other
cities. whose school authorities have
been in correspondence with Superin-
tendent Edgerly, to begin similar
courses next year. Superintendent
Edserly and Principal John G. Thomp-
son of the Massachusetts State Nor
NAL school at Fitchburg, who has
taken a deep interest in the working
out of the plan, believe they have gone
4 long way toward solving the prob,
lem of how best to keep the boys in
The high school for the full four years
course, problem that has been the
despair of educators in all manufac.
turing towns, such as is Fitchburg.
The belief of many parents, whether
right or wrong, that their boys, who
must eventually find their way into
the shops, We're wasting time in school
when they could be learning a trade
nas been the chief cause of the falling
off in the enrolment of second and
third-year high school classes.
Inability of parents to support their
boys during the four years they were
in the high school has also unquestion-
ably been big factor, but this has
been eliminated in Fitchburg, as the
boys who take the shop-work course
will be able to earn enough to clothe
themselves, and even pay board, with.
out interference with their school
work. since they receive regular ap.
prentice wages for the actual time
they work in the factories. The first
year they receive ten cents an hour
and they work approximately 1850
hours. Working the same number of
hours the two following years, they
receive IL and 1914 cents an hour, re-
ipectively, and they are as we'll fitted
Tor their trade as If they had put in
Ill of their time in the factory-bet
-er fitted, because of livelier intelli
yence and ability to use their heads

times l eat Puget sound salmon the

en-. can even stand for Philadelphia's

around the world trying out new line

might possibly be better. 1t was,
too. But its new clerk will improve
with age and hard knocks. When l
entered the office he welcomed me as
II were the fatted calf for which
the prodigals feast had been kept
waiting. He beamed upon me with a
face that exuded Joy and violet water,
and shook my hand ahectionately, try
ing one or two lodge grips on me, by
the way, and inquiring about my
health and journey as If he had been
sitting up all night In solicitude over
my welfare. Now l had come only
from Lansing (Which is better place
to come from than to go to), and
there really was no urgent necessity
that the gentleman with the waxed
mustache should die from joy over the
sight of me. I'm not SO handsome
as all that. He should have had
