Sardine Shortage Expected.

Shortage Of sardines this spring is
expected to result from the severity
of the past winter. Storms and great
masses Of floating ice have destroyed
hundreds Of sardine weirs, according
to Henry S. Culver, United States con-
sui at New Brunswick, who says in
commerce report that even the weirs
not wholly destroyed are 50 badly dam
aged that it may not be possible to
use them this spring.
There will be practically no catch
Of sardines this spring on the New
Brunswick coast. The weirs may not
be in condition for use until summer.
and the catch for the year will prob
ably be smaller than in any recent
years. The past winter is said to have
been the most severe the New Bruins
wick country has seen in 40 years.

DOGS Death Led to Suicide.

Mrs. Margaret Dugdale, wife Of
Norman Dugdale, j. p, of Dutton
Manor, near Blackburn, was found
dead with a bullet wound in her fore
head in field near the grave of her
favOrite dog, which had been de-
strOyed on account Of old age. De-
preston caused by it's loss was sug-
gested at the inquest as the cause Of
her suicide, says LlOyd's News, Lon
don. When found she was grasping q
humane cattle killer, at her feet was
q mallet with which she had dis
charged the weapon, and loaded re-
vOlver was in basket near her. She
had fixed a mirror to the fence, and
q note pinned to her dress gave direc-
lions for the disposal Of her body.
Mr.. Dugdale said he thought the dogs
death, which his wife had taken great
ly to heart, was the cause of the
tragedy, and the jurys verdict was
that Mrs. Dugdale shot herself while
of unsOund mind.

CAN'T ALWAYS SIZE THEM UP
Former Acquaintance One Meets In
New York Must Not Be Judged
by Their Appearance.

You never can tell who is who when
you meet them in the White Light Sec
ton. The other night a Pittsburgner
ran into a former Steel Cityite VINO
was wandering along the big lane. He
wasn't so glad to see him, as he feared
touch" because back home the man
never seemed prosperous, neither was
he down and out. His appearance
hadn't changed since his residence
here.
"How long have you been living In
New York ?" asked the visitor.
ooh, about three years." replied the
former resident.
"Then you know the town pretty
well?" was the next query.
The former Pittsbrrgher admitted
that he did, and gave the visitor some
advice and warning about the big city.
He listened. Then he asked: What
are you doing here, Bill?"
"Working for q bank down town.,
replied the other man.
The Pittsburgher didn't press his
chance friend for details. He thought
that Bill had one of those jobs down
town where one starves to death
amidst the wealth of the nation-die OF
thirst upon the fountains brink.
won't you take lunch with me? he
asked and Bill said he would be de-
lighted-sOme time
The next day the Pittsburgher went
to a bank down town to see about a
check of a friend of his which had
gone astray. you will have to see
the cashier" he was told, and there
was the former Steel City man. He
was in an Office market private" on
the door and his name in gold on the
side of the desk. He was cashier of
one Of the biggest banks in the world.

Chile. 1t lives in a region Of perpetual
snow, from 5000 to 10000 feet above

of wings when extended is nine to ten
feet. The plumage of the male is

More's Capable DAUGHTER,

The demand that women shall be
paid mems wages for mems work may
represent a desire for justice rather
than a desire for gain; but money
fairly earned is sweet to the hand and
heart. Gan open field, an even start,
no handicap, no favors and the same
goal for ALL" Which reminds us that
Sir Thomas More had a clearer per-
ception Of the value of woman's work
and finer sense Of justice than some
Of his sex possess. "My Meg is better
unto me than ten sons" he said, "and
it maketh no difference at harvest
time whether the corn were put into
the ground by man or a woman."-
