K.
In the early days of Minnesota, the
young folks had as, many good times
as now, but in different fashion. Old
Dobbin has been superseded by the
automobile, and now they dance in
electric lighted ball rooms instead of
the old barn, swept and garnished for
the occasion, to music furnished by
the strolling fiddler. Jolly good times
they had, too! One of the favorite
forms of merry making was the husk-
ing bee. All the young people came
tusether ut one of the farms to husk
the corn from the autumn's harvest
Much sport was had over the proceed
ing--a red ear falling to the share of
young man, he had the chance to
go to Rome" that is, kiss every girl
in the room; and if a girl found the
ear the man who succeeded in catch
ing her was entitled to the kiss. After
the work was finished the floor was
cleared for dancing. A supper was
served and the young people started
home in the star-lit autumn dawn. A
reproduction of an old fashioned husk-
ing bee will be given in st. Johns
Parish house Friday evening, Novem-
Der 81. The younger element will
have chance to see the merry max
ings their parents had in the pioneer
days and it will awake memories of
past good times in the hearts of the
older folk. Don't forget to keep open
the evening of November 81 for Susy
Jones husking bee.

THE HORSE MAcXEREL

Off the shores of Long Island, from
June to September,
There's a mighty big fish, perhaps
you'll remember; --.
And up, farther north, in the Bay
of Chaleur,
You also will find him, and If you are
sure
You've got the right tackle and right
nerve to win
Ger the gamiest fighter that ever
showed fin
Above the blue waters of ocean or
bay,
Why, Just go and tackle him. But
this let me say:
You'll want eight hundred or more
feet of line
That's a whole lot stronger than
common store Irvine;
For this whale of a fish has got lots
of bulk,
And he never stops fighting one
minute to sulk.
From the moment he feels the hook
in his jaw
You're the busiest man the world
ever saw.
Like a finny torpedo thru the water
he flies
A streak of green splendor with
golden moon eyes.
| So your rod, brake and line and boat
right along must be strong,
And you not weakling. Now, trot
right along,
And catch a horse mackerel while
he's at play
Off the shores of Long Island or
blue Chaleur Bay.
The giant horse mackerel has names
galore.
He's Tuna and funny, and Blue
Albacore.
Tho under the water he appears to
be green,
With under parts gray, with silvery
sheen;
And he weighs from two hundred to
one thousand pounds.
And, believe me, he'll fight any num-
Der of rounds
Before you can gaff him, and when
on the planks
Of your boat he will thrash them
with resounding spanks,
Till the last gasp is over; then quiet
he lies,
With a great fishy stare in the gol-
den moon eyes.
In royal blue armor his fish race is
run;
His blue splendor Of speed is over
and done.
Bloodhound of the waters! he chases
no more
The poor iying-fish as they leap to-
ward the shore. -
Get ready! hold steady! o! brave
fisherman!
Here comes horse mackerel. Catch
if you can! zs
With lines that are wetted and lea
Their thumb brake,
And well baited hook, there's
nothing at stake vl
But blue-green wonder that burns
the line dry
| with the speed OF MS ruSnlng. VIII
he quit by and by?
Be ready! keep steady! IT'S man
against fish
And fish against man; and some
times / wish
There was more of fair play-less
tackle, less skill,
Fewer tools of destruction to aid man
to kill
The Kings of the Deep. Tho not
always he wins
The victor is sometimes the one that
wears fms! ..r..
Off the shores of Long Island,
Or in blue Chaleur Bay,
The royal horse mack'rel
Speeds freely away!

THE c. ~. E.

Now and then city paper will
comment editorially on the virtues,
sr the lack of them, of our local
railroad facilities. The following is
n fair sample of city mans exper-
fence, which evidently caused him to
vent his ire in the Waterbury Amer
acan:
"Surely the people who live along
the line of the Central New England
railroad are victims of government
operation Or something. The train
service is infrequent and slow. A
conductor told The. Contributor that
all the old engines were turned off
on that line. People who went to
Norfolk recently from Waterbury by
railroad found it took them nearly
half a day. They were an hour and
three-quarters between Winsted and
Norfolk, distance of 10 miles. The
locomotive had. to stop several times
going up grade to get up steam
enough to move forward again. Then
they had to waste the steam in blow
ing the whistle because they were off
the schedule. Anyone coming back
10 Waterbury from Norfolk can
literally go to Hartford and in on
chat division to Waterbury quicker
than by changing at Winsted and
waiting for the train down. The
railroad men seem to have a theory
that people travel by automobile
anyhow for short distances and that
no trains are important except
through trains"
1t would be useless for us to argue
the case of the railroads; especially
since they have been under govern
ment control. The people who live
along these lines, however consider
the railroads only when necessary
and, the city man should feel repaid
foEAa1is loss of time in being priv
leged to remain a few extra hours
In the beautiful hills hereabouts
u.i~h are unsurpassed Mt this time OF
