Big Uobsters.

Some of the chronicles of the Pill
grims seem to indicate that this gener-
alton knows little about Holsters. The
Pilgrim Holsters were five or six feet
long" In a tabulated list of fourteen
of the biggest Holsters ever captured
for which authentic weights and meas
urements have been preserved the gi-
ant among them all weighed "a pounds
and measured 2S1s inches
1t appeared that the eaerly colonists
of New England enjoyed the Holsters
to the full Lobsters were SO cheap in
their markets that they might have
lived on them for next to nothing or
for nothing if they cared to spend
few minutes on q shore eaten. rig
ginson said that many weighed 20
pounds apiece, and that 'the least boy
on the plantation may catch ana eat
what he will of them"
Lobsrers sold in the Boston market
in 1910 "in the course the latter IN
large size at halfpence EACH.
Frequently the price Of Holsters IN
the New York market runs up to 80
cents pound retail. "a good big lop-
ster' of the present day weighing three
and one-half pounds may sell some
times as high as 81.
Even at the lowest latter day prices
lobster is the most expensive meat In
the market, as the waste is As per cent
The American lobster is found only
on the eastern coast of North America.
The most northern point at which its
capture has been recorded is Hawley
harbor, Labrador; the most southern
point the coast of North Carolina
while it is most abundant in the mar
thine provinces. Three Of the largest
Holsters captured in recent years were
from New Jersey.-New York Times

ica to Have a Gideon Bible.

Everyone has heard of THE Gid
cons" but frequently some one in
quires: What about 'em? Who are
they?" Well, they are THE Gideons-
definite article-and they were organ
lied at GAINESVILLE, Wis, in 1899, these
royal good fellows of 1.-THE Christian
Commercial Travellers Association of
America" The name, as we under
stand it, commentaries the story of
Gideon, the warrior judge who deliv-
cred Israel from the Midianites. The
object of The Gideons is to win,
through their personal Christian in
fiuence, business men and others for
the Kingdom of Christ, as they go
about their regular business. As far
back as 1911 more than 5000 travellers
had been enrolled as members OF the
organization, and thousands have
been added since
The regular membership qualitica-
tions demand that they believe in Je-
sus Christ as the eternal Son of
God" and be a member of some To-
cal church that makes such belief
condition of membership" Associate
members are enrolled upon payment
a means of reaching the commercial
traveller, copies of the Bible are
placed in the guest rooms of all the
commercial hotels in America.
The far-reaching effect of this plac-
ing of Bibles in hotels is just begin
ming to be realized. AT first many no.
tells scoffed at the idea, some flatly
refused permission to place the Bibles
in their guest chambers. one by one
these narrow minded ones have been
won over by the honest, earnest pur-
pose of The Gideons, until now many
hotels and members of the travelling
public who are not Gideons, contrib
ute generously to the work.
But there is a local end to all this.
Augusta is directly interested in The
Gideons at this time. Next Saturday,
Bibles are to be placed in the rooms
of Augusta hotels. The Bibles are al
ready here They have been sent to
Rev. Henry E. Dunnack for distribu-
ton.
And here is the most significant fact
in connection with the incident as re-
lated to the growth of the Gideons
idea: When notified that the Bibles
had come for his hotel, one Augusta
hotelman promptly volunteered a gen.
erous contribution for the good OF the
cause. There is the difference between
today and the days when the Gideons
were sneered at by hotel men-now
they meet the movement half way.
Anyone wishing further informa-
ton concerning the work and the
,uav finds are gathered for carrying
it on, can have their questions answer
ed by the Rev Dunnaek at his Green
street home.
