The gull seems to be cominsin tor
a lot Of abuse, on the ground that il
robs TIE fisherman of his prey and is
Of no earthly use to anybody except
for its feathers.
Up speaks Frank H. Stewart presi-
dent OF the electrical company that
bears his name, president, also, OF one
of the largest fishing clubs on the
coast-the Ocean City Fishing club,
which has pushed 52o-foet pier out

nature-loyer, after the order Of Sam"
Scoville or Prof. John H. Harshberg-

tion.
He SAYS: "I've fshed in the surf
both day and night" You can see in
his Office a historic fishing rod, that
has broken eight worlds records in
casting, though these feats were not
Mr.. Stewards own, he nodestly ex-
plains. ss
II have never seen a gull eat a crab,
and only in cold weather have ] seen
a hungry gull take clam aloft and
drop it to break it open. Aren't the
guls entitled to an occasional stray
clam on the beach after the fish have
left for warmer waters? 4.
1T is just as sensible to blame gulls
for the high cost of fish as it would be.
to blame robins for the high price Of
apples.
dWere a bounty of Is cents to be
pht on each harmless gull, it would
be gouging the taxpayers for easy
money for thosse who like target
shooting.
so far, as sport Is concerned, it
would be the same high plane with
shooting barnyard chickens. Z,
Every gull on our coast is al, avias
tor in our defense and worth almost
as much as a soldier OF sailor for
our protection. You see, the guiis
live chiefly on the fragments Of fish
left by the hungry tigerssof the sea
feeding on schooled fishes. Every
boy on the seashore knows that
diving, screaching flock OF gulls indi-
Gates school of fish.
Like ar aviator, they can see below
the surface, but they cannot reason
that all things under the surface are
not flsh. They. expect something to
appear on the surface of the water fol-
lowing a cornmotion beneath. That
something is food.
When guils detect submarine
they follow it like school Of fish, and
# this nation is ever attacked by the
u-boats we shall be sorry that we

church and to the cemetery.
The church was crowded with
friends and associates Of the dead po-

In his sermon Father Flanagan paid
high tribute to the courage OF Frank
Rooney and his associates on the po-
lice force. He compared them. Ia
vorably with the soldiers who have
enlisted for service in France and told
how they are every day prepared TO
battle for the protection OF the cit-
gems. *
"We must look at conditions as they
are and as we know them to be" said
Father Flanagan. "We were assured
and led to believe by the rcformers
that occurrences such as we here
mourn would be no more following
the enactment of prohibition. II

The minister followed with a scath-

living by interfering with other peo-

Father Flanagan took to task those
whom he said were endsavoring, TO
bring about an impossible millennium
and that their actions had made actual
conditions worse than before prohi-
bition by making the people st,eaks

Because the teacher was waiting for
him with stack of willow switches,
David Menagh refused to go to school
one day as a boy, back near Deni-
son, Ia. The teacher was not really
sorry, for Davy was not a model
pupil. He popped paper pulp balls
against the ceiling giuiitil it was posi-
lively freckled., When the teacher
had her back turned he, would snap
chalk, corn and gravel at her ears
with his slingshot. On the play
grounds he tormented the gifls, fought
with the boys, and staggered around
with bloody nose or limp ear. half
the time. -
So when the teachers nerves were
all ravelled out at the ends one day
she went into willow grove with a
hatchet, hacked out nearly half an
acre of saplings, came back with a
gls@.in her eye and issued her ulti-
matum to Davy as he scampered for
home.
1t was the next morning that he
baked when his mother tried to start
him off to school. His father took
hand in the argument. harnessed
a team, and sent the boy to plow
corn.
"If you won't go to school, you'll
plow corn" he said.
And David plowed corn.s
For several days he plowed dill
gently, and then over a distant hill
came wagon bounding along, behind
a pair of galloping horses. The wagon
was loaded with, shouting and sing
| ing boys. It was his old crowd from
school going to a neighborhood town
to play base ball.
They halted where Davy was sit
ting on the piow handles. and asked
him how he liked plowing compared
with playing base ball Then they all
laughed and made faces, until Davy
began to hunt for rocks to bounce
of. their heads.
As he watched the wagon bound
over the last diSant hill, and heard
1.-THE shouting and singing of the boys,
he bit his lips till they. were blue and
vowed he would not spend his life
straddiing a corn row.

solve. Yes he told it to him righ;
straight, for Davy always said, things
when an idea began to probe and
stab and spur around IN his brain.
For a change of scenery his father
made him sweep out the odd mill,
grease the wheels, and sew the belts
with whang leather.
Then he sent David and some of
his brothers to Denison and with 5000
as capital set up grocery store for
the boys. The other stores had the
business, though, so these new boys
could not make expenses.
But David would not be defeated.
We've got to do some business" he
stormed when he came to the store.
I'll go and get some orders"
Soon a small, dark and very. boy
ish chap began to appear at the back
doors of the homes in Denison. He
would pull potato out of one coat
pocket and an apple or head Of cab
bage out OF the other, and show.them
as samples. He would insist upon tax
ing an order. That was David Men
agh, and soon he was dumping orders
Into the little store faster than the
deliveries could follow.
Z When they could not get the farm
efs' butter and eggs. David decided
to pay cash for these products, where
as the other stores were merely Civ.
ing the farmers value in trade. The
butter and eggs began to come to
the Menagh place, you bet.
Restlessness took possession oi
David, so he set his heart on Seattle,
About that time the Menaghs chanced
to trade for a Douglas county Sarnl
few. miles north OF Benson. When
David began to build pig fences and
pound stakes here, he got acquainted
| with some Omaha businessmen, who
told him Omaha was surely a splendid
place for a branch of the Denisor
store which had already developed
into general store with 10000
stock.
David came to the city and looked
around. That was four years ago
