PLUCKY ENGLISH DOCTOR.
Lowered Over Precipice to Assistance
of Wounded Egg Gatherer.

A young Marlborough egg gath
erer named Joseph Mapor, while
working in the cliffs near the North
Danes Dyke recently met with an ac-
cident which may cost him his life.
He and his brother started gather
ing early in the morning, and the Sec
ond time Joseph went over stone
apparently became displaced and
causing him to fall and cut open his
head. When his companions did not
receive his signals they became
alarmed and one went over to see his
cause. They found the youth lying
on a grassy slope, bleeding badly
from the wound.
With the assistance of other egg
gatherers two men were lowered over
the cliff edge and placed the unfortu-
nate man on ledge Of rock below.
The tide was coming in at the time.
A York visitor, H. Brown, who is
staying at Flambrorougs, ran to the
apartments some four or five miles
away, and then cycled to Bridgington,
another six miles away, to fetch Doc
tor Wetwan.
The doctor was lowered over the
precipice, a distance of about 400
feet, an exploit that is dared by few
who are not experts-and ne band
aged up the young fellows head.
The rocket lifesaving apparatus was
taken out and one of the men, Rob-
ert, Barnes, descended and brought
up Joseph Major in the breeches
buoy. Afterward Doctor Wetman
was hauled up, and cheer was rails
ed as he reached safety.-Westmin-
ster Gazette, London.

State Department Announces Dis
tributiOn of 100000 Small Trout
in May.

The state fish and game department
will have / 800, 900 small trout for distri-
button from the various hatcheries about
May |, and will strive to make the first
planting for the year equitable as possi-
bic. In doing this the cooperation Of
the people Of the state is solicited. Gov
ernor Brady is manifesting much interest
in the work of the department, stated
Chief Deputy Warden B. 7. Livingston
. He is especially desirous that the people
of the state shall profit so far as possible
by the expense to which the state has
gone in establishing fish hatcheries and
providing fry for restocking the streams.
"The fish and game department is now
outlining plan for the spring delivery of
eastern brook trout This delivery will
commence not later than May /. We
are desirous Of making this distribution
to all counties that will make proper ap-
plication. For the convenience of parties
wishing fish we have printed forms and
will furnish them. to all who take an in
terest in this work.
Fish from the state fish hatcheries
cannot be planted in waters which afe
not available for the use Of the general
public. In my judgment, great care must
be taken in selecting suitable streams in
each county as this means much to the
future fishing in the state Of Idaho. Fish
planted in small or muddy streams that
will not afford ample protection in low
water is simply waste Of time When
the fry is planted it should be in very
shallow water. | refer to the little rivu-
let's that run into the main streams.
The department has carefully investi-
gated the methods adopted by similar de-
partments in other states, and it has been
found by those states, after years Of ex-
perience, that unless the fish are planted
in the shallow water where the large fish
cannot pursue them, they will be destroy
ed.
"Full information and instructions with
reference to the planting of the fish will
be furnished by the department at all
times. We stand ready to help those
who are interested in the propagation and
protection of fish and game, and will
gladly answer all correspondence OF this
nature promptly"

nished applicants upon request.

Knockers Must Go To The Left


Saint Peter sits by the heavenly gate,
his hand on the string Of Tyre, and he
sings low song as he patiently waits for
the souls of those who expire He hears
in the distance the chorus of song, that
swells from the foot of the throne, and he
smiles as the music is waited along, and
warbles lay OF his own: "There is room
in this region for millions of souls, who
by sorrow and woe are bereft, - tbs for
those who have suffered that melody rolls
but the knockers must turn to the left
There is roola here for people, who when
they were young persisted in sowing wild
oats, yet who doomed up their cities with
sinew and tongue, but the knockers must
go with the goats. There is room for the
people who pointed with pride to the
beauty and growth Of their town, who
kept singing their praises aloud till they
died, but the knocker viii amble down.
They'd say that the music was all out of
tune, and the angelic robes "hand me
downs" and they would send for a jew
eler off to the moon to sample the gold in
their crowns. Now while there is room
for millions of souls who by sorrow and
woe are bereft, we want no complaint of
the music that rolls, so the knocker must
turn to the left.-Ex.
