The MuIlet In Gulf Waters.

The mullet has always attracted a
goodly share of attention. His fame is
not circumscribed by the boundaries
of the gulf. Whether the visitor be
from the Atlantic or the Pacific coast
or from the shores of the Mediterra-
mean or the Baltic. he wants to see. ey.
anime and feast on the mulet.
He is the best known fish that
swims. Some have IA prejudice against
him; but. like all feelings of this ma
ture, 1t rests on an unsubstantial foun-
dalton. 1t cannot bear investigation,
for the mullet plays Il greater part In
appeasing the craving for sea foods
than any fish that inhabits the waters
of the gulf. He is here in summer
and winter. in fall and in spring.
When the fisherman contemplates his
plight, when luck is against him and u
feeling of depression creeps over him.
the mullet, always ready to give him
helping hand. rushes into his seine
and contributes to his fortune and to
the gastronomic pleasure of the thou
sands of people to whom they are ship

1t Is our duty to remove these boys

it is sacred duty. / am now think
ing of two bright-eyed, curly haired
lads of six and eight years who are in
reformatory because their mother
could not control them. Think of it .

Their than a reformatory, though the
latter be the most excellent of in
situations While these things go on.
while irresponsible children are led
into criminal ways because of a neg
lectful public, and while the amount
of youthful crime mounts, as it has
been doing, higher and higher into
shocking figures, no smirking, pious
man or woman can fold his or her
hands and lay the blame upon other
men and other women until each in
dividual has contributed of his
means and his time and his money
and his abilities, all that he can.
These two Vermont homes, at Saxtons
River and Westminster, are doing q
splendid work and in the proper
spirit. Miss Stickney told of an in
terview with a prominent man Of
means who was approached for aid
such as Mrs. Frederick Billings, W.
j. Van Patten, and other prominent
Vermonters have given. why" he
said, II don't know anything about
these homes. I'm not interested, in
fact, but l won't let you go away
empty handed, and he offered her 9
bill. Sir" she replied, 1--WE need the
money, it is true, but if you truly
mean that you are not interested IN
such a cause, that you do not care
what becomes of these boys who
would drift into Heaven alone knows
what, If they were not sheltered,
then We do not want your money.
Later, much wiser man who had
donned his thinking cap, sent A
large check to the homes.
Truly, it is a subject in which no
man or woman who lives at all for
the future, as well as the today, can
afford to be disinterested.
