A rather surprising catch was made
last Monday, by Eldorus Fossett, a
New Harbor fisherman in one Of his
traps when he found there an eight
pound lobster OF course he expects
to catch Holsters in his traps but Is
not in the habit Of catching such large
ones. He was somewhat in doubt just

he managed to persuade the crustacean
to lie down so that he could grab him
in safety.

Understand- ing full well the peculiarities of hu- man nature and that in his case it would be essential to collect in ad- vance, MT. Reynolds first delivered a speech full of promise and then pro- ceeded to loosen the crowd from nick els and dimes. Som etimes they were quarters. As the aforesaid crowd eX- pected to get a run for it's money, or rather a walk up the side of a build ing, they waited and waited until Johnny was satisfied that the coin harvest was Over
 Then he mounted the wall and proved to the satisfaction of the hu- man throng which packed the street from curb to curb, leaving a path for the trolley cars, by the way, that climbing the perpendicular is not such
 a difficult feat after all, providing you have the nerve. The Barnes block possesses several natural ladders in the form of projecting brick lodges and Johnny showed they were just as good for his purpose as hickory rounds.

Then he dismounted and by an inside route mounted to the roof where for few minutes he proved that it is possible to keep ones center of gravity on two lea6 of a chair even though the chair be mounted on two flimsy tables and those on the top of a block.

 This shows a remarkable differ ence from the Dublin riots two years ago, when it was not safe for anybody to walk in the streets for fear of violence. During last Mondays and Tuesdays trouble the populace could go where they liked. There was barbed wire around the post office but the sentinels made no ef- fort to prevent people who wished to do so from crawling under the barriers.
 "On the other hand, it was made clear that anybody in his majesty 5 uniform would be shot at sight
