SOUTHERN OCEAN WHALING
The Up to Date Methods Employed by
 Norwegians aap
From the Pail Mall Gazette.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
 One of the most remarkable featuress of present day shipping and one which is not very generally recognized is the enterprise of Norwegians in southern ocean whaling The first trial, which met with immediate success, was made in 1903 by a Sandefj fjord firm on the advice of Capt. Carl A. Lar son, who was in command of the Antarctic at the time of Otto Nordenslliold's south polar expedition and who reported that the sea literally swarmed with whales.
 fewer than 50 companies, representing an aggregate capital of nearly G2.oo0,000 sterl- ing have been formed to prosecute the industry, and according to the latest avail able information most of them have paid large dividends ranging between 90 and 100 per cent.
 A good deal of Norwegian success is ad- mittedly due to the fact that they have bought up large number of second hand British steamers and adapted them for the purpose. And in this connection it Is of interest to note that two Of the latest pur- chases have been.the Dundes steamer l.och Fay, acquiiLh for e20,Ooo, and the well known Brocklebank liner Carnaryon- shire for which e14,0o0 was paid. Another contributory cause is that old methods have been discarded and the task of locat- ing and capturing whales in the vicinity of Kerguelen Island, the South Shetands, Southeast Africa and the west coast of South America is allotted to specially fitted vessels, some for whale catching and

 Don't cry over spilled milk. Go and get some more. There's plenty of milk .
 Looking back 10 those days when oar boyish feet joyously brushed the dew from the9ineadows of asphodel, | can see that his life had many happeningS that might have spoiled It. yet never saw him in aEysbut cheerful rnooc.

 Rare serenityi
 When I see men and women fret and fidget and chafe and shorten their lives because of that which must needs happen I think of Uncle Ben.
 Men and women die daily for want of his bit of philosophy. Because none of us ever reaches his ideal All of us are disappointed Despite our best laid plans grievous things will happen.

Edwin A. Abbey

He did his best
 There could scarcely be a better epitaph than that to write over the tomb of the late Edwin A. Abbey, American artist.
 Nothing less than his best was good enough for MT. Abbey.
 When he was struggling illustrator for Harper's, a quarter. of century ago, it was said of him that he could have mane twice his wages had he been content to do less than the best that was in him.
 He lived up to his ideals
 Abbeys favorite work was his illus trated Shakespeare. In these paintings he worked from models exclusively. Eur ther, in his desire for absolute accuracy. he bought the costumes and furniture of the Shakespearean period and posed his models under the best possible surround ings.
 Always it was his fixed determination to do his best
 Abbey painted many pictures only to de. stroy them. They seemed to be good. He easily might have sold them. But they did not satisfy his artistic sense.
 Loves labor lost you say.
 Abbey did not think so He felt that a picture which fell below the standard set up by it's maker did not deserve to live tEsf tils
 Abbey succeeded, ,t5
 He did not become great painter like Mchelangelo or Da Vinci or Millet, put his work will live, and his death 1t 60 was distinct loss to the world of art.
 Hard work and high ideals could not make him a Raphael, but 1t made him an Abbcy-a successful, admired and happy man.
 And you?
 Hard work may not make you great, put it will make you successful and comfort able and if along right lines, influential
 The example of Edwin A. Abbey Is of more encouragement to the struggling youth than is that of the greater genius It shows what moderate ability, couple ed with conscientious endeavor, may accom- plish.
 Do your best.
 When you look up at Abbeys mural work at the Boston Public library, or see his great picture at Harrisburg, or look upon copy of his paintings, let it remind you that

Her Kingdom for a Dog

Have you seen Trixy?'
 Trixy is a. common brndle pup about a year old. with white breast and white fore legs and long tail.
 Kennel experts would say Trixy is worth about 90 cents. But for love of the pun little girl nearly sobbed her life away 1-year-old Irene Rohn of Chicago 2 It was this way:
 The dog disappeared while the family was at a. summer resort. and the grief Of Irene was such that the cpttagers instl- tuted an automobile search everywhere throughout the woods without success.
 In consolable.4 little Irene ', was taken back to the city
 Her throat began to trouble her, and an operation was made necessary Day and night at the hospital she cried for TriXy. The parents offered reward but no trace of the missing dog was ever dis covered. z
 Irene was taken home
 Her sorrow assimed..a a serious phase. It threatened tosmake her condition dan- gerous.
 If don't get Trixy back don't wan, to get wel,'' walled the child. And the doctors shook their heads.
 "I'll give anything I have to the person who. will bring Trixy back" said Irene. T will give my Teddy bear and my pank I've been saving in since Christmas And I'll give the kind person a million kisses besides" q.
 Her kingdom for a dog,
 Irene recovered her health, but she near ly died for .Trixy, and even now her eyes fill with tears at thought of her great loss.
 Unnatural grief?r 'sa
 You may think so if you have never loved and. lost dog If t
 Is there in your memory some Trixy or Fido or Rex, faithful, affectionate, de- voted, your companion and friend, who died and made your heart sore for many a day?
 Then you can understand the real be- reavement of this little girl sorrowng be- cause she will see Trixy no more.
 The long, long sorrows of youth
 You are older and may conceal your feelings. There have been so many sore spots in your heart that have healed ana calloused over
 But the heart of a child is naked to thc wound. .A
 Surely if by any means you should hap pen to see Trixys you. will write to- Irene.
