American and Scotch sonos.

The Americans have no love tor
Scotch songs. They cannot make
head or tail of the language, and they
are frank enough to confess it. In
Chicago Watkins Mills was called up
on by handful of Scotchmen to sing
Hattons rollicking ditty, The Mar
riage of Shon Maclean," but when the
song was over the applause came eX-
clusively from the men who demanded
it. The other members of the audi
ence looked blankly at the singer and
wondered to gracious what on earth
he had been talking about" What
does he mean .-by every piper was
flu 2" asked a puzzled Chicagoan OF
one of the Scotcnmen in the inter-
val. "'Fu' means FULL" was the re-
ply. WELL" snapped the practical
anu unpicturesque native of the pork
country, "and what's the matter with
the whole word, anyhow
Watkins Mills tells, by the way, q
very funny story in connection with
this same song. AS he sang it one
night from the stage of theatre In
British Columbia, he was conscious
all the while of kind of suppressed
commotion proceeding from a private
box on his left, and whenever he turn
ed his eyes in the direction of the
whispered disturbance, he saw two
faces expressing the very essence OF
astonishment, First the faces stared
at him; then they stared at each 9TH
er; then again at the singer-mingled
with the look of amazement was a
decided suggestion of annoyance. One
face was that of pretty woman, the
other that of handsome man; ano
Watkins Mills noticed that the as.
tonishment depicted in them lgreW
deeper every time he sang the WORDS
"Shon Maclean." This was apparent
Fly all they recognized in the ditty-
but why should these persons be more
upset about his Scotch than any on,
else? When the concert was owe

No Encouragement.

The family had stood the long
strain of Uncle Hobart's illness well,
but the peculiarities Of the physician,
chosen by Uncle Hobart himself, had
been, to say the least, trying. "Do
you really think he will recover, Doc
tor Shaw" asked the oldest sister OF
the invalid, who had borne with his
vagaries patiently for years.

TEXAS TROPICAL OYSTERS
A BivaIve That Can Be Eaten In the
Summer Months.

The fact is not generally known,
even in Texas, that the tropical oyster,
which is entirely different in appear
ance and habits from the oysters found
in the markets of this country, is sue
cessfully raised along the extreme
Southern Gulf Coast of that State.
f. w. Seabury, Speaker of the Texas
House of Representatives, who has
made study of oysters for several
years, says in regard to this tropical
breed of oysters:
"The oyster which is grown in the
vicinity of Point Isabel and along the
Gulf coast as far as short distance
below Corpus Christi is a tropical bl-
valve and of wholly different species
from the oysters along other portions
of the Texas coast and Atlantic sea-
board. The Point Isabel oyster is
eaten during the Summer season, COM
mencins about the 1st of May, the
season lasting till about the 1st OF
September. This tropical oyster be-
gins to spawn in September, which
is just at the time the oysters north
of here become fit for eating. The
Point Isabel oyster spawns in Fall
and Winter, and the Northern oyster,
even those of Corpus Christi and Port
Lavaca, spawn in Summer. The Point
Isabel oyster can be eaten in any OF
the months not containing the letter
r. The reverse is true of other oys-
ters
"The fact that the Point Isabel oys-
ter has a season entirely different
from that of other oysters should
make it in demand, and l look for a
great industry to be built up in cul-
tivating and shipping these biyalves.
The Laguna Madre, where the Point
Isabel oyster is grown, affords splen
did place for oyster beds. The la
goon is four or five miles wide, and
the water is highly impregnated with
salt, which insures the growth OF
good oysters. With direct railroad
connection with the outside worlu
there is no reason why an immense
oyster shipping business should not
be built UP at Point Isabel.
''Of course the people would have
10 be educated into eating oysters
during the hot months of Summer, but
believe that could easily be done
know of my own knowledge that
these oysters form a most palatable
dish on the hottest days of Summer
hau aota ~
Brownsville these oysters are the pr,n.
cipal food for many people all Sum-
mer long. There is a fine opportu-
nifty awaiting some enterprising per,
son to plant oyster beds in the La
suna Madre, in the Point Isabel re
gion. 1t will bring a big fortune tc
whoever undertakes it. These trop
Zeal oysters are far better than tn
other Texas oysters. They are small
er than the Corpus Christi, Port La
vaca, or Galveston oysters, and NOR
resemble the famous Blue Points
Oyster roasts have been a popula
form of entertainment for a long tim
during the Summer months at Poin
Isabel"
The fish and oyster laws contain
a provision exempting oysters from
a certain point below Corpus Christ
from the operation of that provision
which prohibits their shipment ant
sale during the months which do no
contain the letter r." This exemp
ton was placed on the bill througi
the effort of Mr.. Seabury.

Believe Sailor Was
Drowned at Portland

Portland, Me, March 12.-Anxiety is
felt for the safety of a sailor named
Mcdonald by Captain Peter Finn.
commander of a Pennsylvania Rail-
road Co. coal barge now in this port.
According to Captain Finn, Mcdonald
has been missing from the barge since
Sunday and his failure to return has
caused Captain Finn to believe that
the sailor fell overheard and was
drown in Portland harbor.
Captain Finn says that he paid Nc
Donald off last Saturday and that the
sailor asked the captain to keep a
small sum of money. The captain kept
a few dollars and believes that Nc
Donald would have returned to the
barge and asked for his money If he
had not been drowned. Mcdonald
shipped as a sailor on the barge at
Perth Amboy, N. j., and was about 80
years of age.

District Attorneyship Plum by No
Means Stephen Perry's Own

Portland, Me-, March 1fi--According
to, whispers going the rounds, the
United states district attorneyship is
by no means settled matter. These
whispers intimate mat it is by no
means certain that Stephen Perry of
this city will succeed Robert White
house, present holder of the job.
Something like four. weeks ago it
was announced that Mr.. Perry's name
had been recommended for the place.
This seemed to decide who would
get that particular plum under the
Wilson administration.
Other candidates took heed and SUBJ
sided -
At that. time Mr.. Perry's only ac-
tive opponent was Phillip Howard,
of Rockland Mr. Howard has since
been elected mayor of his home city.
The Rockland man had been a con-
sistent and faithful Democrat. Mr..
Perry bottled Bryans candidacy in
1896. Behind Mr.. Howard was the
united Knox Democracy, led by for
mer United States Senator Obadiah
Gardner. Mr.. Perry had the bequeathed
support of Hon. w. r. Pattangall of
Waterville, turned over to him when
the Waterville leader withdrew. as a
candidate for the United States dis
trict attorneyship; also Mr.. Perry had
the endorsement of e, P. Winslow and
other Democrats of this city and coun-
ty, who quit Bryan In 1896. This has
led many people to suppose that the
Knox county mans chances were by
far the better. Hence, when the news
came out that Mr.. Perry had been rec
commended surprise was general.
Now the recommendation part of
the thing is being denied.
1t Is said that instead of recon-
mendation, Mr.. Perry was granted an
audience with the attorney general;
that he had an opportunity to shake
hands with Mr.. McReynolds.
