LIFE WELL WORTH LIVING.
Massachusetts Man Who Has Ex-

Of Existence.

There is a man in Massachusetts,
by the name OF Henry j. Turner who
has had, we suspect, more solid en-
tyment in his long life than any man
In the world This is. of course. a
very strong statement. but when we
remark that in the last 40 years Mr..
Turner has, with hook and line.
caught II miles OF fish. the gentle
yeades will surely agree to the asser
ton.
BY II miles we mean that when
these fish, nearls all pickerel and the
largest not weighing over five pounds
and the average weight not reaching
pound, are laid down, head to tail.
the line would extend II miles
away He averaged four fish a day
for 40 Years, counting in sick days
winter days, storm days, Sundays--in
fact, for every day in 40 years be
caught four fish.
While It is easy 10 calculate the
pounds. distance. number and all the
statistics Of this 40 years fishing, 1t
is impossible to estimate the Joy that
has come into this mans life, Why,
he has had more real. downright. up
right fun than ali the presidents, cab

aires euchre players, automobilists.
vaudeville goers all put together.
Just think Of those meditations and
exhilarations attending upon the f76,-

knows the admired pigeons have fluttered
from point to point on the sacred archi-
lecture of st. Marks. They have made
their homes in hooks and crannies of the
basilica: they have built comfortable
nests at the feet of the famous bronze
horses ov~r the portico. In fact, there Is
hardly place in the whole impressive
pile that has escaped their keen little
eyes. and been turned into account, pro-
viding 1t promised to afford hospice.
Venice loves these pigeons with devo-
tion that would be amusing to the out
side world We're it not honest.
And especially does 1T warm up to them
at Easter time, for 1t was then. according
to the ancient tradition, that they first
came to s.. Marks.
According to the ancient story. 1t was
Palm Sunday that the great doge made
formal visit to the Piazza San Marco.
With him came his entire brilliant suite
of officials, including the foreign am
bassadors residing in Venice.
The presence of this host of dignitaries

aided their arrival and the magnifcence
of the procession deeply impressed the
people, SO that all who could be accommo-
dated filled up the street and buildings.
The doge was 80 delighted by the well
come the populace accorded that he de-
termined to show his bounty In man.
ner that should be remembered, so he
had a large number Of pigeons, each one
weighted by having a piece of paper at
tached to it's legs, released from the GAL
lery Of st. Marks. over the portico
where the bronze horses rear their gi-
gantic bodies.
The crowd made q rush on the pigeons
eager to get the choice meal they az
forded, and the unfortunate birds. ham,
pered by the weights on the legs. were
caught In large numbers and taken home
to form the feature Of many succulent
repast.
But not all were caught. Some of them
escaped and sought refuge high up In
the dome Of the church where none could
come near them.
The fact that the birds found their
hospice In the very dome of the tomb Of
st. Mark was not without its effect on
this highly superstitious populace, and
they at once decided this to be token
from the good saint that his sheltering
mantle was spread over the birds and
that none of his true worshipers would
do them harm.
Thus this early number OF pigeons fiut-
tering in fright to the top of the temple
became the foFerunners of the multitude
that flies around the church today. Now
they are sacred from the profane hand

It is highly probable that the mineral
resources of Panama will be exploited in
the near future. Gold, copper, manga
ne e and coal are known to exist IN sew
eral parts OF the country, but as yet very
little OF is area has been subjected to
geological survey. When the canal comes
into operation a great demand for coal
will arise and the island Of Muerto, on
the Goa t of Chiriqu, which Is said to be
q solid mass of 1t, should prove a yalu-
able source of eupply. American cap tai
and enterprise may find a favorable field
here and in other directions. Fruit grow

industries of the land The country about

You cannot know any people until you
