deadly execution on the commerce OF the enemy
were sent out from Gloucester and many OF the
grizzled old salts, who attain most venerable
age in this healthy climate, can tell from tales
told them by parents or grandparents OF rich
prizes taken by the Gloucester fishermen turned
fighters.
The great storms that sweep the New England
coast have ever found a favorte vortex in the
vicinity of Gloucester and many shipwrecks have
taken lives near by. The large sunken rock
called "Norman's Vice." which is well known TO
every visitor, was made famous by LongfelloW
with his poem, THE Wreck of the Hesperus
Gloucester has been an incorporated city since
1873, but in many respects it is hard to think OF
it anything but fishing resort, little village
by the ocean side.
For one thing the flavor of olden times clings
to it. Among the some 5000 men who do moth
ing but fish there are many who have passed the
70-year-old mark and some who have numbered
as many as so years. yet they are still able to
bear their share of the work in going after the
cod and mackerel. This fishing is both arduous
and dangerous.
1t is done from sloops and schooners, which
go out to the fishing grounds daily On each
schooner is a nest so to speak, of dories, series
of small boats, differing in size so that one can
be comfortably slowed in another, and therefore
not take up much room. When the fshing-ground
has been found the sailors spread around in the
dories to get their catch.
Often in the fog some of the small boats get in
the path of the swift-moving ocean liners, for the
favorite fishing banks are directly on line with
a much-traveled route. Often not many details
are obtainabe of the tragedy which ensues. Only
few lines in the newspapers tell of small boat
or a number of small boats with their crews
lost at sea. A hundred thrilling tales of narrow
escapes can be picked up in the course of day
spent with these hardy men of the sea- but the
experiences never seem to daunt them They
are ever ready for the days trip and its hopes
for reward of boatload of the shining, squirm.
ing, painting fish.

All the labor of handling the fish has been sys
tematized, as it had to be in business where
the bulk is great There is no wasted effort
carrying the fish into town, nor is the dirty
work permitted to mar the beauty of the city
proper. Everything is done right at the wharves,
where there is ever at hand lmtless supply of
water to do the vitally important final labor of
cleansing
When a twomasted schooner, laden to the gun
wales with its cargo of fish, comes into the
wharVes the fish are carried to great tubs. Over
these stand company of experts, men who have
cleaned hundreds of thousands of fish, and who
can make the quick cuts, and do the scraping
with incredible speed. Running to each tub is a
hose and after the waste has been removed, an
instant under the high pressure Of water from
the hose cleans out the fish completely and makes
it sweet and ready for the next step in the opera
tion. Goldfish is dried and salted before being
sent to the market, and the work is also done on
the wharves. Here are ranged hundreds OF
tables, exposed to the bright sunlight. The
cleansed fish piled up in such a manner that
the warm rays get a most admirable chance at
them. This summer has been so hot that the
fishermen have had great difficulty in drying out
the cod. Instead of taking the water out in the
gradual normal manner, the sun has been so
fierce that it baked the fish, and in this manner
many of them cooked SO hard on the out
side as to be virtually worthless for the market
But this is a rare occurrence for under ordi-
nary conditions the climate of New England is
ideal, and the sun does the work of drying in a
manner far more satisfactory than could any
agency of mans production.
From the open-air drying tables the fish are
shifted to the boxing and packing establishments,
which are also located along the water front, and
then they are made ready to be shipped to all
parts of the world.
Gloucester regards its fishing industry with the
same traditional pride that a native of Brussels
might regard the lace industry.
From generation to generation the families of
ing is more familiar boast to some grizzed old
his and grandson are both fishermen and
that there is a strong probability that great,
grandson just beginning to master the fine points
of the business will be better than any of them.
The cod, of course, is the most admired of all
the fish that fall to the lot of these deepsea Izaak
Waltons though the mackerel is also regarded
with great respect.
The deepsea fishermen look down upon the
clam diggers, but the latter afford to ignore
this contempt for there is plenty of money to be
made in the sale of the bivalves. They are to
be found in plenty on the sandy shores of the
neighborhood and at all hours of the day, but
especially at low tide the clam hunters, turning
up the beach with their rakes, be seen at
work. Clam shucking is an expert feature of the
work, and many of the old hands make phenome
nal records in dissocating the luscious clam from
it's protecting shell.

that only part of the money thus Sc

No weight of age bears him down,

There's nothing empty in his face.
No burden of the human race

To joy or sorrow, hope or dread
For he can grieve and he can hope
Can shrink with all his soul from-Soap
No brother to the OK is he
He's second cousin to the bee.
He loosens and let's down his jaw
And brings it up, his gum to ''chaw."
There's naught but sweat upon his brow,
'Tis slanted somewhat forward now;
His eyes are bright with eager light;
He's working with an appetite.

To WELD with all his might the spade!
Nor has he any spite at fate
He's digging angleworms for bait.

REApED BY THE ASIATIC PEST
ARE HUNDREDS OF VlCTIMs
DAILY IN THE CAPITAL.
And It Has Spread to Other Russian
Cities-Sehools VI ST. Peters
burg Serve As Hospitals.

ST. Petersburg. Sept. 2l.-St. Peters
burg is in the grasp of the Asiatic
cholera. which already has exceeded
in severity and number the visitation
of 1909. The disease Is increasing
daily at an alarming rate. and unless
the authorities show in the future
much greater degree of ability to cope
with the situation than they have in
the pas. there Is every reason to fear
that il will get out of their hands. The
government has threatened to apply
the provisions Of martial law, and this
threat has driven the municipal Off
cials to bend all their energies to the
campaign Of clearing the city of the
scourge.
The aldermanic council Sunday
voted a preliminary sum amounting to
$25O,OOO to enlarge the hospital space,
to purchase and distribute disinfec-
tants the supply of which in St. Pc
tersburg is well nigh exhausted. and to
expedite the interment of bodies,
which has been notoriously slow.
The dead houses are overcrowded
and many corpses lie unburied.
A beginning was made Sunday when
public schools were transformed into
hospital wards. A number OF the gram
mar schools were closed and 1000 OF
the students sent to their homes.
The situation, which has always
been serious since the very first case
was reported, assumes a graver aspect
from the appearance Sunday of a very
virulent type of the disease, in two
cases of which death followed within
16 minutes of the first symptoms.
As announced by the official bulle'
tins. the cases numbered 349 and the
deaths 12S during the "a hours be-
tween Friday noon and Saturday noon
This was a considerable decrease from
the preceding day, but there is doubt
of the accuracy of the official state
ment. The racord for the same "a hours
ascertained from unofficial but re
liable sources show the actual number
to have been far in excess of that
Whether or not, however, there was
an actual increase, the disease re
sumed its march on Saturday, the stat
istics posted showing that from Satur
day noon until Sunday noon there
were 39S cases and 141 deaths. this be
ing the largest number so far officially
announced.

FOREST FIRE RAzEs TWO CITIES.
More Than Four Thousand People
Have Been Made Homeless.

Rhinelander, Wis, Sept. 21.-The
towns of Gagan and Woodboro, on the
500 railroad, were wiped out by forest
fires Sunday. Both were prosperous
lumber centers, each having popula-
ton of 1000. All there are homeless.
Burned out of their homes, the people
began fleeing from the fire, which
grew more dangerous with each min
ute Women carrying children in their
arms and men and boys with packs on
their backs ran toward Rhinelander,
many falling PROSTATE in the heat,
only to be helped on by the stronger
refugees.
Nearly all of those burned out at
Gagan reached Rhinelander Sunday
night and are being cared for. But
few of the Woodboro people are here,
and it is not known what has become
of all of them. Hundreds of men have
gone out from this city to fight the
flames, but reports received from
these who are returning Sunday night
say they have made little progress in
their battle against the fire.
