Want to Protect Fish.

The Tri-State Fish and game As
ISOLATION, comprising Fish and
Game Commissioners of Pennsyl-
vania, New Jersey and Delaware,
will make a strong effort to give
better protection during the year to
the shad in the Delaware. The as
ISOLATION will shortly hold meet
ing to consider plans for replenish-
ing shad supply. During the pre-
sent season the State of New Jersey
has placed several million young
shad in the Delaware and will keep
up the work from year to year. 1t
IS proposed by the commissioners
to go after the mills which pollute
the river and then keep up the
stocking as rapidly as possible.

MY DOG.

''Dead % and my heart died with him.
Buried p what love lies there.
Gone, forever and ever,
No longer my life to share %
Only a dog p yes, 'onlY -
Yet these are better tears!
Weary and heartsick and lonely,
turn to the coming years.
Something that always loved me,
Something that l could trust,
Something that cheered and soothed me,
Is Wondering in the dust.
Gentle and faithful and noble,
Patient and tender and brave,
My pet my playmate and guardian,
And this is his lonely grave
l 60 to my empty chamber,
And linger before the door;
There once was a loving welcome
listen for that no more
sit by my lonely hearthstOne,
And lean my head on my hand
Oh, the best of my hayward nature
Lies low, with my Newfoundland.
One plank, when the ship was sinking
In a wild and stormy sea,
One star, when the sky was darkened
Was the love of my dog to me.
A star that will shine no longer,
A plank that has missed my hand,
And the ship may sail on or founder
No watcher is on the strand
Oh, well may the Indian hunter
Lie calm on his couch of skins,
When the pain of this world ceases,
And the joy of the next begins.
For on the Great Spirits prairies,
Under blue skies of yore,
Are waiting his steed and his watchdog
To welcome his spirit once more.
Blue hunting grounds of the red man,
May not | dream the dream?
Surely, my old companion
Awaits till cross the stream
Waits, with faithful yearning
Almost akin to pain,
Til in some future heaven,
He bounds TO my feet again.

Iowa Women Win a Victory.

One of the most signal victories
ever won for woman's right to the
ballot was the decision Of the Su-
preme Court in the suit brought by
the women of Des Moines, Iowa,
to have set aside an election involv-
ing the building of city hall and
the issuance of bonds therefor, be-
cause women had not been allowed
to vote. The supreme Court set
aside the election as invalid, for in
Iowa women have the right to vote
in bond elections. The case has
been contested through all the
courts, the suit has been carried to
It's final triumph for the women by
Miss Craze Ballantyne. Compe-
ent lawyers declare her argument
vas one ofthe finest ever heard in |
he Supreme Court room.

Large HauIs at Fisheries.

The largest amount of fish that
has ever been caught by boats con
nected with the Lewes fisheries is
credited to the steamer John w.
Lawrence which came into port
Tuesday morning of last week with
a cargo amounting to 2oI6 barrels.
Her hold was full and great
quantities were piled on her deck.
Such a sight is rare and several
snapshots were taken.
Never before have fish been run
ming in such numbers, and the
nine boats connected with the plant
are coming in from every trip load
ed to the rails Both mills are run
ming night and day.
The successful catches mean a
great deal to LeWes, for there is
said to be no doubt that the fish
cries next year will 90 ahead with
the plans for the improvement of
the plant which were postponed on
account of the scarcity of fish and
other business reasons. Under the
present management a great deal of
money from this industry finds its
way into Lewes, and the people feel |
greater interest in it now than
hey have in recent years.
The fisheries had used this month |
Up to the first of last week two hun
