So it came about quite naturally that day
his father spoke to Jim of the book he writing.
Mr.. Bradstreet was reticent in such matters. He
seldom mentioned his literary affairs, and when
he began TO speak to his about them Jim recog-
nzed il as final proof OF degree of intimacy his
most daring fances had failed to picture. In the
pride he felt at becoming his fathers literary CON
hdant he at first gave no thought to the book as
possible rival But gradually, as with the wearing
on of winter the book grew. and added pages TO
pages and his fathers absorption in il grew also, an
old idea returned inns brain, the feeling that he
had expressed to Philip Gordon a that what
his father cared for the most in all the world was
his work.
On day he overhead his father speaking to
friend of many years standing. 1T is the best yet,

gentle lingering gesture the pile of closely typed

The very next day Jim was sent by his father to
return book to an elderly invalid friend In the
course of conversation the old gentleman spoke to
Jim of his fathers book and of the enthusiastic
hopes the author had for its success
"Ive got to beat that book" Jim whispered 10
himself on his way home.

During my recent absence from
the pipe, Harry Kreischer, of the
Tottenville A. G. baseball team,
braved the ordeal of writing a verse
for publication. 1t was of the fu-
.ture, OF what wouldn't be done to
Koehler, etc., in that game between
the d. S. A. C. and the TottenviIle
A. G. The result was such that the
game Is really deserving of more
than those four lines, so here goes:
Labor Day came, with its game of
ball,
One, In Tottenyille, seemed more
important than all;
The Danes, they won, of course they
did,
And now ven Kreischer, to them,
doffs his lid.
Sorry Harry, but your dope was all
wrong,
Your next composition you might
make a song,
And in 1t tell of KoehIer's run"
/ the one. with remembrances,
YOU shun.
Nhitewashed, SO very near you
were, t'y4
My With what ease that did occur.
Fond r~eeollectfens have the Danes
of Labor Day.
But I doubt that you are now feeling
so gay.
Dahl batted for Poulsen In the d.
s.. A. C.-Lyceum league game. He
was the last mar to tip the plate for
the victorious side and he flied to
short.
Next time the Puritan captain
sends In a player to run for its
twirler. 1t undoubtedly will make
sure that his batting turn is a long
ways off. The incident at the league
games last Sunday, In which Coyne
ran bases, when he vas scheduled
to have batted and then Dickson
batted out of turn and later Coyne
batted when he should not have,
cost the Puritans almost an inning.

A party in a launch from Staten

Sunday and caught fifty-two weak
fish of East Point. Yesterday af-

The old saying that a good fish
erman can catch fish any time is
true. Frank Dana and Assembly
man Tom Brooks proved that a

catching a weakfsh and twenty-nine
large cells. They were bothered with
crabs stealing the bait away from
the cells.
There will be a big run of school
fish In Raritan bay within the next
few days. This statement is based
on the fact that at Atlantic High
lands small weakfish were caught
yesterday and Monday from the
piers by the dozens. Men who never
caught a fish before are catching
them, and It will take but two days
for the fish to reach the upper part
of the bay. Watch this, and If it
fails put the writer down as a poor
aquatic prognosticator.
Monday was accepted by the bay
men as the opening of the 1910 bay
bird season and they took advant-
age Of the fine weather to hunt over
the meadows. Thomas Lawson, OF
this city, went up to the Newark
meadows and shot two yellow legs
and four mud hens. Joseph Temper,
of Montciair, shot four English snipe
and Ave mud hens, and John Bueh-
Ter shot over his setter Bess and
landed five English snipe.

THAT MAN Catalina.

Last week, the Hon. John Bigelow
wrote as follows to the New York
Evening Post thanking it for It's re-
markable, article about the Colonel:
"In the absence of Cicero In or
out of Congress to protect us, 1t IS ut
that the public press should no longer,
with bated breath and whispering
tolerate the stealthy
nrogress toward a dictatorship OF an
aspiring Catilina Redivivus, who taxes
our patience and whose conspiracies
elude u.s.
as to this man Catilina the account
given of him by Lempmere will be In
teresting:
II. sergius catilina. a celebrated
Roman, descended OF q noble family.
When he had squandered away his
fortune by his debauchcries and eS-
travagance, and been refused the con-
sulship, he secretly meditated the ruin
of his country. and conspired "ith
many of the most illustrious OF the
Romans, as dissolute as himself, TO
extirpate the Senate, plumber the
treasury. and set Rome on fire. This
conspiracy was timely discovered by
the Consul Cicero. whom he had re-
solved to murder; and Catilina, after
lie had declared his intentions in the
full Senate and attempted to Vlndi-
cate himself, on seeing five OF ms
accomplices arrested, retired to Gaul.
where his partisans were assembling
an army. while Cicero at Rome pun
ished the condemned conspirators.
Petrius, the other Consul's lieutenant.
attacked CatiMnas ill-dlscipllncd
troops and routed them. Catilina was
killed in the engagement, bravery
lighting about the middle of December
r. C. Ga His character has been de-
servedly branded with the foulest IN
fanny. -. It has been reported that
Catilina and the other conspirators
drank human blood to make their
oaths more firm and inviolable.'
1t will be seen that Mr.. Bigelow is
rather severe in the application of his
classical references; but not more
severe than the circumstances seem to
| Justify.

LIQUOR IN NEW HAMPSHIRE.

In 1904 there were LA prohibition
towns in New Hampshire. and In 1905.
1888 prohibition towns. There has been
a growing sentiment against liquor
selling. and a very active movement
Is now In progress for the repeal OF
the license law. The New Hampshire
Retail and Wholesale Liquor Dealers
Association has written letter to
the Manchester Union denying that 1t
mas taken any part In the nomination
OIL candidates or in trying to influence
the election OF candidates who can ba
called liquor dealer candidates. The
Association contends that 1t is as
sincere as any so-called prohibition
organization for the reduction OF the
eVll OF intemDerance, and calls atten-
ton to the fact that 95 per cent or
the papers of the State openly oppose
any return to the conditions which
existed under prohibition. The reason
LOT this. as we understand 1T is that
prohibition did not prohibit: it has mo-,
actually prohibited anywhere. ana
regulation is better than prohibition.
