GUST TEMPERANCE WORKERS.
They Cause a Row in the Indiana
House of Representatives.

Indianapolis, Ind. - Feeling that
has been aroused over the calling of a
special session of the Legislature to
enact county local option law led to
row in the House of Representa-
tives.
The House had Adjourned, but many
Representatives were at their desks
engaged in writing when delegation
of about fifty temperance workers en-
tered the hall. Horace G.. Murphy, a
lawyer, OF Muncie, mounted a chair
and spoke aggressively in advocacy of
he county local option bill. He
inally declared that the men who are
opposed to it "are saloon buns and
brewery representatives"
Representative Coble, of Dubois
County, who had been listening,
pointed his finger at Murphy and de-
liberately said:
!. you are liar. sir, and you know
It,"
Murphy jumped down from the
chair and started toward Coble. The
crowd followed and engaged in an
angry demonstration. The Rev. Mr..
Everson, of Muncie, threw himself be-
tween the two men and forced Muir
ply away.

eyes are first directed and are held
by the pictures which give the key
note to the whole of the designs
the conceptions of the Cruciixion and
of the Ascension. Subject paintings
surround them, and many figures,
such as those of Faith, Hope, Love
and Patience-the fral virtue.
Mr.. Shields began his career as an
apprentice to firm of photographers,
and went through long period of
the direst poverty Finally one day
while in the deeps of despair, he wan
dered into an exhibition of paintings
in Manchester and decided to become
an artist. He Immediately went home
and made water color sketch which
not only sold for $45, but brought
another commission to the needy
youth.
A few years of this work brought
him an order to illustrate THE Pill
grim's Progress. ;" He took the con-
tract at so low figure that he soon
found that he was reduced to bread
and water diet A little later he exc
cuted some designs for an edition of
Vanity Fair" which so pleased Rus
kin that he said to him: 81 do not
know of any artist in England who
could have done these pictures but
yourself. You may become more
celebrated than any painter of the
day"
From this time on the path of the
young artist toward success and
fame was smooth one. He came to
London in 1874, when his reproduce

The recently made known proposal
for the gradual abolition Of the coast
guard within the next few years will
however gratifying to the economist,
hardly be welcome to the seaside Wis
itor who has been wont to chat with
some stalwart member Of the force
as he PAGES the parade, tends the
sunny garden that surrounds the
whitewashed station" house, or sits
within his lookout box perched high
B on some tall cliff above the Atlantic
4 waves. Already steps in the direction
i of retrenchment have been taken;
from some of the smaller stations
the telescopes, axes and other "prop-
critics" have been withdrawn.
The coast guard, as we know 1t,
is the remnant of a triple Gordon
which once patrolled the coast for
the prevention of smuggling, says the
London Globe. The inner line con-
sisted of force of riding officers, y
originally established more than two
centuries ago to suppress the illegal
expectation of wood, whose subse-
quent duty was the inspection of
roads and lanes for several miles in
land. Revenue cutters-some of
them fine vessels of 200 tons
watched the seas; while the "pre-
ventive water guard" patrolled the
coast. There was also during the
early years of the last century spe-
cial force known as the "coast block
ade." This, commanded by lieuten-
ants of the navy, was manned at first
from men-o'war. later from the rev.
.enue cutters and civil sources. 1t
disappeared in 1881, its place being
taken by the preventive water
guard" known since two years before
as the "coast guard.
The early members of the force
were by no means the well set up men
to whose appearance we are accus-
toned at the present day. Thinkers,
tailors, any landlubbers who could
secure indirect influence with "My
Lords of the Treasury might hope
for berth Not until 1929 was a
seagoing experience, or at least an
apprenticeship on board a fishing
boat, made an essential qualification
Two years later the patronage of the
coast guard was transferred to the
Admiralty, and it's personnel restrict
ed to men from the navy or revenue
cutters. But the force remained a
branch Of the customs until 1857,
when the customs flag was replaced
by that of the nACv.
The duties of the coast guard in
the days of smuggling were severe
and often dangerous. The service
was not looked upon with favor by
the local population, and indeed
whereas in most coast villages
the inhabitants were largely interest
ed in the illicit trade, social inter-
course between them and the force
was practically prohibited. A "look-
out" man had to take up his lonely
post soon after o'clock upon a win
ter's afternoon there to remain for
some sixteen hours. An ingenius de-
vice, provided less for the comfort of

EngIand's Biggest Goose Farm,

To provide the Christmas goose for
5000 homes-or, at the modest esti-
mate, 10000 peoples no light I'M
dertaking. Twenty odd years ago a
thrifty youth saved his pocket money
during the earlier months of the year.
and later purchased very young COS
! lings with his little hoard. These
he reared and fattened for Christmas
on his parents farm in Lancashire.
Young John Harrison saw there was
money in the little business he had
taken up as hobby. The thing grew
year by year as he grew, until to-
day he is well known as the Lanca-
shire Goose King, and his business
has assumed the aforementioned pro-
portions.
A peep at his huge f1ocks of geese
wandering over fields, acres and
acres in extent, at Halsall, a pictur-
esque hamlet near the old market
town of Ormskirk, would indeed be
revelation and surprise to many.
Twenty sacks of corn, besides large
Quantity of meal and potatoes, have
to be dealt out per day to this stock
OF geese. the corn being usually
scooped out of carts into trenches
made along the fields. AS Christ
mas approaches the birds are even
more literally supplied with delica-
cies, until they eyince no disposition
to fly - and, indeed, very little to
wander about at all. Expert killers
and pluckers get to work some time
before Christmas, and half dozen
of these men can prepare 800 to 400
a day. They make more than a SOW
ereign day at the work. The feath-
ers sometimes bring as much as two
shillings a pound. -Tit-Bits.

1.-THE ADIRONDACKS ON FIRE
Five Thousand Men Fight Spread
ing Flames.
At Least $4,000 Acres of Valuable
Forest Lands in New York Threat
ened With Destruction.

North Creek, N. Y.-The forest fire
conditions in all parts of the Adiron-
dacks are growing worse hourly, with
no sign of relief. Although at least
5000 men are engaged in fighting the
flames day and night, not a single
fire has been checked, and the smaller
burning areas are rapidly spreading
into CONGREGATIONS, which in some in
stances are coalescing.
At least 1000 acres of valuable
forest lands are on fire and the extent
of the destruction may be much great
err. A big fire has broken out at
North Hudson, in Essex County,
where ESQ men are fighting it on both
sides. This fire is already miles in
extent. Small fires are springing up
in hundred localities and the situa-
ton is becoming extremely alarming.
Gangs of men are being rushed
into the woods from the large cities
to fight the fires. At the North Woods
Club, a popular resort twenty miles
north of here, patronized by fashion
able people, many of the guests who
had come up to hunt are leaving and
fastening back TO their city homes, as
fires are burning on all sides of the
club property and the smoke condi-
tions are extremely annoying.
In the village of North Creek the
smoke is SO dense that at 9 O'Clock a.
m. it was impossible to see fifty yards.
Sun, moon and stars have been OBJ
scured for several days, and at night
the roads are so dark that it is dan
gerous to venture upon them. Never
has it been known to be so dry in this
locality. The highways are a mass of
heavy dust, the streams are drying
up and the supply OF drinking water
is almost exhausted.

Claims All New York State Fires Are
Under Control.

Albany, N. Y.-Colonel William F.
Fox, State Superintendent of Forests,
said that, while reports were being
received daily of new forest fires, they
were all practically under control.
Fire patrols are being maintained in
various sections of the ,Adirondacks,
and the fire wardens are being en-
ployed day and night. Colonel Fox
said:
Although many fires have broken
out we have them under control. The
reports of the fires and the damage
done are exaggerated. This is espe-
sially true of the reports from North
Creek
Colonel FOX regards the fire re-
ported near Big Crooked Lake, in the
Beaver River territory, as the most
threatening.
