the scene of his daily employment,
where he can spend blossom and fruit

JOY FOR BLUEJACkETS.
Many Thousands of Them Will Spend
Christmas at Home.

Christmas is but a week off. Every
bluejacket in the navy will eagerly
watch each of the days roll past, for
much anticipation has been caused by
the recent order of the Secretary of the
Navy that wherever possible every
ship should spend the holidays in it's
home port and that every bluejacket
should be given several days liberty
Christmas is red letter day in the
navy for several reasons. First, be-
cause of the liberty which gives many
of the enlisted men a chance to visit
their homes for several days. and sec
ond. because the biggest and best din
ner of the year is prepared by the
commissary department.
But five battleships will spend the
holidays in New York. They are the
Connecticut. Wyoming. Florida, North
Dakota, already there and the Utah,
which yesterday left Hampton Roads
for New York. Also at New York
there will be the auxiliaries Panther
and Culgoa, the hospital ship Solace.

eft, Terry. Wake. and Mayrant, the
tender Dolphin, and the submarine G.

The crews of the battleships Arkan-
sas, Delaware. and New Hampshire
and of the cruisers Montana and Ten
nessee will get their Christmas leave
on their return to the United States.
The first two will convey the presiden-
tial party to Panama and return; the
New Hampshire left Lynnhaven Bay

the Mediterranean protecting Ameri-

The Wall Encourages It's Friends.

Our down river contemporary speaking
with reference to Governor Haines' re-
marks upon prohibition heads its COM
ment with a question. 1t asks: docs
Governor Haines mean it,
The Governor said: Il shall do all in
my power, during my term of office, to
encourage the honest enforcement of all
our statutes against the liquor traffic
1t seems rather rough on the part OF one
of his most earnest supporters to ask II

ever, the Kennebec Journal apparently
intends to answer the question in the
affirmative. More than that. it goes on
to the assumption that the Governor mas
something up his sleeve" and that later
he will make known means of enforcing
the law.
This reads very much like an apology
for the Governors message. Taken at its
face value what the Governor has to say
about prohibition is confined to state
ment that he will encourage Others to en-
force the law. There is nothing in his
language to indicate that he intends TO

In 1906 a business man in ST. Peters

of the royal family who had worn this
collar persisted in the French revolu-
ton, and the man who first purchased
it fled to Brussels and sold it in that
city to get money for his sojourn III
exile. Subsequently it changed own

misfortune to its possessor.
Finally it was sold to a Russian
prince for $4,000, and he gave It to

FISHING THROUGH THE ICE.
A Winter Pastime Much Enjoyed by
Country Boys.

Fishing through the ice, where the
law does not forbid it. is winter pas
time much enjoyed by country boys.
1t is not the kind of fishing preferred
by their city cousins, who are familiar,
perhaps, with shaded trout brooks OF.
the placid surface of lake under
summer skies The lake in winter is a
bleak place. The winds that sweep
down from the hills carry chisels in
their teeth; but the right kind of a
country boy is used to that and rather
likes it. With an AK and his lines and
bait.-perhaps also a luncheon, if he
plans to make day of it,'-he
starts for the pond, his blood tingling
with the frosty air and his thoughts
on the sport ahead.
The holes in the iee-as many holes
as the fisherman has lines for, and
cares to cut and watch. unless the
number is limited by law in that par
ticular body of water-are made by
cutting the outline of circle in the
ice, foot and half or two feet in
diameter, then gradually deepening
the ring, but leaving the center intact
until the water is reached. Then the
cake in the middle is lifted out. This
way is quicker and easier than chop
ping out the chips as the hole is deep
ened. When the ice is two feet thick,
or so. the young fisherman is likely to
feel that few holes will answer his
purpose. Moreover, if it is very cold,
new ice is continually forming over
the holes, and has to be broken, or the
lines will become frozen in, and will
give no signal when fish takes the

of a stick, that is fastened loosely
through the middle to short pole

the line is pulled down and the flag
goes up.
