Springtime Thoughts for Fishermen,

1t is not too late to interest the fisher
men and perhaps others in some spring
time thoughts that have been contrbut-
ed to this office, and that are both in
teresting and timely.
The trout is rarely in his office; you
have to drop him line if you wish to
find him. 1t is unlawful to wire him.
The red spots on trout do not indicate
scarlet fever, the measles, or anything
that is easy to catch. for trout is much
more difficult to catch at this time of
the year than the grip. The trout that
weigh the most get away Now is the
time when the trout gets "the hook"
Ifyou hook trout you pull it in; if
you hook anything else you get pulled
in like the fantan players in Chinatown,
who play fantan when they feel inclined
and tender a ten when they get fined.
The trout lie in wait for their food,
and the fishermen lie in weight after
ward. A fish story overdrawn grows
larger; bank account does not, though
a trout is often drawn out from under a
bank. The reason trout vary so much
in weight is that they have no scales.
Quail are secured on the wing; trout on
the fly.
When the conductor takes your fare he
gives you rebate; when a trout takes
your fare you give him a rebait. A
trout is raised from a fishpole; frog is
raised from tadpole. In the spring
people are all run down, but this is the
time when trout all run up. They some
times run up to a quarter of a pound,
not often. A trout doesn't want pull
to help him along. If a trout kept his
mouth shut it would save him lots of
trouble, there are others.
trout is like person with jag on.
If he has a reel on him he gets pinched;
like Scotsman, lively reel sets him
dancing. Hyou are going trout fishing,
like the actor, you must be sure not to
forget your lines.
For trout it is no great feat to leap
10 or Is feet up a waterfall--a case Of
falling up instead of falling down. They
can spring up in the spring and fall back
in the fall. They can easily leap rod
if the rod doesn't break.
Pond trout are more ponderous than
brook trout, though they can't spring
as lively as mountaineering trout.
Trout have specs on them like school
marms. They are always in the swim
like the 400. When dog bites it gives
you hydrophobia, and you avoid water;
when the trout bite you get as near
water as possible. The disease is
catching.

A Cord of Wood.
When is a cord not a cord?

When is cora not cora!
To the farmer harvesting his small
woodlot and to the man laying in logs
for the large fireplace of his country or
seaside home; to the paper manufacturer
buying pulpwood and to the proprietor
of the ordinary city woodward, to all OF
these men this question has an import
ant dollar-and.cents meaning.
Queer to say, and contrary to the be-
lief of most people, there are many times
when cord is less than a cord, and
many conditions when it is more. School
arithmetics say that cord of wood is
1913 cubic feet, or the contents of pile
eight feet long, four feet high and four
feet wide. Wood is marketed on this
basis. A pile whose length, breadth, and
heighth multiplied together gives this
number of cubic feet fills this requirement,
no matter whether the sticks are long or
short, straight or crooked, round or
split, unless there is an understanding to
the contrary. Nevertheless, a cord,
though it comes up to legal measure
ments, is an uncertain quantity, even
when the seller is honest and the buyer
satisfied
A lumberman may have a tract OF
pulpwood which he sells to a paper mill
at So cord, for as many cords as it will
make 1t is in the contract that he shall
cut and stack it. He cuts in II foot
lengths, and when the Job is complete it
measures 200 cords, and he receives
$1,000 for it. Would he have made or
lost by cutting 4-toot lengths instead
of12?
He would have lost in the first place
from the additional labor required to cut
4-foot wood, but his principal loss
would have resulted from greatly
diminished number of cubic feet, due to
the fact that short sticks lie closer to-
gether than large
Measurements and experimental tests
have been made to ascertain exactly how
much actual wood is in cords of different
lengths, sizes, shapes, and species.
Had the 200 cords of 12-foot wood
been cut in 4.foot lengths, there would
have been only 176 cords, and the owner
would have received for it $3.50 instead
OF $1,000. 1t was, therefore. clearly to
his advantage to cut 12-foot lengths.
but 1t would have been to the BUYERS
advantage to have it cut in 4-foot

Standard Oil Magnate Dead.

Henry H. Rogers, vice president of the
Standard Oil company, who directed the
affairs of that gigantic corporation after
John D. Rockefeller retired from acti7i-
ties, died suddenly Wednesday from ap-
opexy in his New York home. Mr..
Rogers was one OF the richest men in the
United States, his fortune being esti-
mated at $100,000,000. The funeral
was held Saturday in the Unitarian
memorial church in Fairhaven, Mass
This church, of which Rev. Frank L.
Phalen, formerly of Brattleboro, is pas
tor, was built by Mr.. Rogers in memory
of his mother at cost Of over 81 800
600. Mr.. Rogers was born in Fair
haven, Mass, in 1910 After working
as clerk in New Bedford and elsewhere
he went to the Pennsylvania oil fields a
penniless young man in the early COS
He soon became an active factor in the
oil firm OF Charles H. Pratt & Co. in
Brooklyn. The plan for the formation
Of the Standard Oil company is said to
have originated with Mr. Rogers, and
his executive ability certainly did much
toward bringing the company it's great
financial success Mr.. Rogers was also
instrumental in consolidating some of
the great copper companies. One monu.
ment to his energy is the Virginia rail-
way, running 443 miles from Deepwater
w. Va. to Sewall's Point. Va. This
road taps the coal mines of West Virginia
and brings the coal direct to tidewater.
Mr.. Rogers was a great benetactor of
his native town of Fairhaven, spending
upwards OF $4,000, 900 there in works of
a public or semi-public nature. Mr.
Rogers was twice married, and is sur
vived by his second wife and three daugh-
tiers and a son by his first marriage.

New Regime in Turkey.

Secretary lanes L. Barton of the A. B.
c. F. NJ, writes in the June Missionary
Herald of the present situation in Tur-
key, presenting in a clear light what
some have misunderstood, and his arti-
cles are based on reports and informa-
ton which the missionaries consider
reliable. In his article he says
MANY undoubtedly felt for time
when Sultan Hamid II seemed to have
regained the mastery of affairs in the
empire, that the new regime had come
to an end and that Turkey was again to
be plunged into darkness Subsequent
events show that at no time was the con-
stitution in real peril or the country in
danger losing what had been gained
during the last nine months.
The storm and stress of the 10 days
ofconflict and struggle, although cost
ing great sacrifice Of life and property,
have uncovered the weakness of the old
regime and discovered, as nothing else
could have done, the strength and wise
policy of the new order. Some OF the
points which may be regarded as fairly
well settled are as 1OhlOWS'
"First-The loyalty of all parties to
constitutional government and to the
inviolability of parliament has been re-
vealed.
"Second-Th old policy of Hamid II
has been repudiated by all classes who
have any interest in the country except
as source Of personal gain.
"Third-The action of the constitu-
tional party since its return to power
confirms the opinion that the country is
to be administered as far as possible in
accordance with the laws of Christian
nations and not in the interest Of Mos
lens as against Christians.
Pour th-The new regime has def
nitely committed itself to the policy OF
peace and to the development OF the arts
of peace.
"Fihh-The leaders in New Turkey
have committed themselves to the devel-
opment OF a system of modern education
for the country.
''Sixth-The right of free speech has
been freely accorded.
"Seventh-The new constitution pro-
