Rescue Pigeons From a Cat

Sometimes the crow may be suspect
ed of being altruistic. Not long ago a
Hartford Courant man saw four of the
birds in d tree watch a cat which was
stalking a pair of pigeons In field
near by. The cat came near enough to
its quarry so that 1T crouched for a
spring, when one of the crows leisurely
glided out of the tree and swoOped
down to within q foot of the cats head.
The cat was surprised and the pigeons
were warned and moved on a little.
Once more the cat made forward
movement, and another crow dipped
over ii and said a few things which its
predecessor had overlooked. That end
ed the cats pigeon hunt for the day
The crows We're safe at every stage Of
the game. but no one knows whether
they took a hand in 1t through liking
for the pigeons or dislike for the cat.

Ascension is curious and out-of-the-
way little island In the south Atlantic,
about rs far from any place else as it
is possible for an island to get. It's
nearest neighbor is st. Helena of Ma

away. Ascension belongs to Great Brit
ain and, for some inscrutable reason
known to the powers Of England, it is
not carried on the lists of the colonial
governments. but perhaps because Of
it's importance as naval station Is
governed by the admiralty. 1t IS treat

BIG WASTE IN FISH TRADE
Public Could Buy Its Seafood Much
Cheaper II Industry Were on
Efficient Basis, It Is Declared.

If the entire fishing industry were
put on an efficiency basis, the general
public would buy its seafood much
cheaper and better, is the opinion Of
William X. Beardsley, manager of the
New England fish exchange. lie as
serts, however. that even under pres
ent conditions fish is the most economi-
cal of foodstuffs in this country.
1.-THE fishing industry has been con-
Quoted In more or less haphaZard
manner" he says. "Small competition
has developed it. but up to date little
has been done to put 1t on sound
business basis. Those intimately con-
nected with the industry do not seem
to realize that the extensive waste
must be eliminated and efficiency
brought in.
"For example. dealers still ship fish
In small quantities everywhere. This
necessitates enormous transportation
expenses with slow service, when the
same goods could be shipped in car
load lots to control distributing points,
and much needless expenditure saved.
Fish is the coming food of America.
and it therefore behooves this country
to awaken to the value of its fisheries.
It is also necessary for our fish mer-
chants to awaken to the value Of ef-
ficiency and place their trade on sys-
tematic basis. Every dollar wasted
comes out of the public's pockets, so
that the people as a whole have vital
interest In this matter
Continuing, he states that govern
rlent experts contend that before long
this country will be actually forced to
look to its fisheries for food.-New

WORDS LOST THEIR FORCE

Discussing His Speech.

a banker who was told that Charles
NJ. Schwab. the president Of the Beth
lehem Steel works, was one of the
most forceful speakers ever heard at Il
banquet table. said he believed it, and
then told this story:
About the time that Schwab was
buying Bethlehem Steel, and had made
arrangements with Pliny Fisk Of New
York, to handle the bonds, he went
over to New York. and. Of course, was
entertained at a dinner. There he
made one Of his most forceful utter
ances. Mr.. Nsk was moved to such
an extent that he said to Mr.. Schwab:
THAT Will sell the bonds. Only, you
should write 1t out for me when you
reurn, so I shall make an accurate
statement"
Mr.. Schwab wrote out hts remarks
as soon as he got back to his home and
sent them to Mr. Fisk.
Mr. Fisk saw him soon afterward,
and said: "Why didn't you write me
what you said:"
II did" responded the steel master.
II wrote the exact words"
"Well," answered Mr.. Fisk, much
Disconnected, you should have spoken
