The Cape Cod fishermen don't
seem to be the men they once we're"
SAID the old skipper sadly. Not thai,
the boys to-day aren't industrious ana
willing to work. But they don't ap-
pear to have the brains and foresight
the men OF former generation did.
NOW take the case Of honest old Capt.
Enoch Wilson. He never overworked
himself and always had time to join
In a game of poker, or anything else
that tended to uplift the community
Yet in one summer, with the help of
his trained dogfish, he caught more
fish than some of the men now living
hereabout do in a lifetime
Capt. Enoch was, a natural-born
philosopher. When anything came up
that bothered him 70 didn't get sfue

The average COW on the American
farm produces only about $50 pounds
of butter per year. That will hardly
pay for her food and care. The gov.
eminent report shows an even lower
average, but 1t Is fair to assume thai
some improvement has been made
since the last report by the govern

time Capt. Enoch got out of the habit
of shutting up the dogdsh in the
pond at night.
THAT fish is tame and don't care
to leave his happy pondside,' said
Capt. Enoch. He knows that the
only place where he can get oil, which
gladdens the hearts of dogfishes, is
rom honest old Capt. Enoch. There
is no danger of his running away.
And 1t is a nuisance to be letting
him in and out Of the pond
But it was this lazy good nature
on the part of Capt. Enoch that caused
him to lose his trained dogfish. One
day, while the dogf1sh was driving
fish towards the Mary Bell, Capt.
Enoch noticed that there was another
dogfish, evidently female, hanging
around. The captain was pleased at
this.

GENEROSITY OF GULF CITY

Mohile. August 1.--(Speciai.1 1--More than two hundred tired little heads are sleeping on soft down, white COW cred pillows tonight. representing so many children who are dreaming the sweet dreams of childhood in which there are doubtless visions of good fairies, who come to good little boys and girls once in a while ana take them riding In chariots. These little ones are inc motherless and fatherless tots of Mobile, who were given the time of their young lives by the citi- xens of Mobile, who amidst the 'whirl of business life. still have time to plan out pleasure for others, and to cater "a inc wants of those who are left practically a charge on the world
 For more than two weeks now these children had been looking forward to this treat and in the anticipation thereof there was much joy and many d heart-aehe. Originally 1t was in- tended that the great parade should take place on Thursday last, but on that day 1t rained in torrents and it had to be postponed until today.
 During those two weeks of anticipa- tion there had been so many days of rain that the children, after stealing chances through the window, would often ask their teachers whether 1t would keep on raining and spoil their holiday. When at last the day ap- pointed for their festivities arrived and fl was still raining there were many of these orphans who could scarce repress a sigh or drive back the tear from the corner of the eye as they were assured that although it rained that day they would still have their treat on the coming Saturday. Disappoint- ment to them could not be entirely overcome by a promise of another day in the future
 When the day broke this morning silently little forms stole to the win- dows only to see a cloudy sky that Threatened to again spoil their prom ised pleasure. Later came the rain, and to the little minds it looked as though the flood gates of heaven had been opened. Teachers and nurses were sought with eager questioning as to whether the rain would stop, ques- tioning that those whose duty it is to constantly look after these orphans found hard to answer.
 CIouds Finally Broke.
 Finally the sun broke through the clouds and as the great orb dispelled the gloom on the outside of the insti- tuition so did it cause the dropping spirits of the children to revive. It took but a short while for them to forget the disappointment of Thurs { day. Iniess time than 1t takes to tell, they had forgotten that 1t had rained and shined for many days pasti 1t was really shining. the clouds had disap- peared and that the good God had 50 arranged it that they would be able
