a neen Sea Mascot.

One of the, favorite mascOts of deep
sea fishermen, to which they attach
great Importance, is tiny fat stone,
or bone, found in the ears Of plaice and
other fish. The wearer of one of these
stones is supposed to be immune to the
danger Of drowning.
1t is easy to find these stones in the
ears of fish, although they are no big
ger than n split lentil. Anybody who
cares to look for one and to examine
it will see ON its surface light ana
Il larger scale in tree trunks. The
number of rings tells the age of the
fish, as new ring appears each year.

Brattleboro, June 16.-Upon the
verdict of Windham County court as
to whether alfalfa Is grass or "A crop
win depend on the state action
against Morris Chamberlain, farm
er of the West Brattleboro section
who has appealed from the decision
OF Judge Frank Il. Barber of the
Municipal court that he is guilty OF
killing q deer out Oh season that was
not killed in the act of damaging the
crops.
A fine OF 500 ana costs of sS.56
was imposed and Attorney Nv. r. Dial
ey, who represented Chamberlain APP
pealed. Mr.. Chamberlain was releas
cd on his personal recognizance of
$3.50.
Chamberlain killed deer which
he found in one of his alfalfa fields
and reported the act. Game Warden
George L. Alexander arrested him.
the claim being that no damage had
been done in that field and that al
falta was grass.
The law specifically states that it
is unlawful to kill deer for eating
grass. Another alfalfa field owned
by Chamberlain had been badly dam
aged by deer.
States Attorney C. B. Hughes ar
gued that Chamberlain was guilty be-
cause he had killed the animal for
eating grass, maintaining that Alfal-
ia came under that ;head. Attorney
Daley, who was called into the case
after it had progressed for a time,
maintained that the animal was kill
ed while in the act OF damaging
crops, and that under the law, Cham
berlain had right to kill it and re-
port the case to the warden as he.

The newspapers in New York and
New England at least are inclined to
be little unfair in their comment
On William j. Bryan. Mr.. Bryan did
a decent and manly thing in resign
ing from the cabinet where he found
himself misht In his public utter
ances before and since ibis resigna-
ton he has not said one word in
criticism of President Wilson, but
has spoken of him with the utmost
loyalty and courtesy. Woodrow viii
son is president today because of the
backing he had from Bryan at the
Baltimore convention. Had Bryan
supported Champ Clark Mr.. Clark
would today be in the white house
instead of Mr.. Wilson People have
short memories in public matters,
but the admirers and supporters of
President Wilson should not forget
that they owe a good deal to William
Jennings Bryan. Mr.. Bryan was
never a competent secretary of state
and large majority of the American
people did not want him in that office
but he is an honest and upright man
and lie acted honorabIy in withdraw
ing from the ,cabiner so as not to en-
bhrrass his chief, Also as a private
citizen he has the jflil right to ex-
press his views on public questions.
More than that it Is goodtlling for
the country to have these varying
views brought forward Only a
.blgot ora fool gets mad when some
body disagrees with him. sThe pub
lie is best aided and educated by a
full and free expression of varying
views. lt1sl

THOUSANDS GIVE
PLEDGES NOT To

Secretary Bryan, in Billy Sun

porahCe Meeting,

Philadelphia, March 15.-Kneelmg
on the platform in the tabernacle
erected here for Rev. w. A. Sunday,
and using the evangeists pulpit as
a writing table, Secretary of state
William Jennings Bryan signed as
witness tonight thousands of pledges
given by men and boys never TO use
intoxicating liquor as a beverage.
The pledges were poured upon the
secretary Of state in a perfect stream
by members Of a congregation of
nearly 10000 he had addressed at a
meeting under the auspices of the Ma
tional Abstainers' union. The first
to bring their cards forward were
group of high school boys seated di-
rectly in front Of the rostrum, but the
crush speedily became so great that a
force Of police had to be called TO pre-
serve order and Mr. Bryan, who be-
gan by signing his full name, was
obliged to merely inscribe his ini-
tials
The meeting, at which Mr. Bryan
was the chief speaker, was the first
of n series to be held in the princi-
pal cities aud towns in the country
IN q movement which originated with
the temperance committee of the fed
movement however, is non-political
and nOn-seCtarian.
Mr. Bryan endeavored to impress
upon his audience that the use of al
coholic liquors was not only physi
caly injurious, but that it decreases
a mans efficiency, lowers his mon
tally and imparts constitutional
weakness to his offspring He de-
clarcd that accidents in industry are
increased in proportion as liquor is
consumed by the workers.
THE use of liquor is the direct cause
of crime of poverty, of degradation
and despair the secretary said in
speech. Ind we never can ten when
We shall ourselves suffer at the hands /
Of those who are victims Of intemper-
ancc. This ne added, is another rea-
son why total abstinence should be-
