ocean.
 The Morgan, Greyhound and bark Bertha are the last of the old type whaleships left in the once famous New Bedford fleet. There are about fifteen schooners still engaged in the whale hauling industry from this port, but all are comparatively mod ern.
 Two of the old type whaleships have been lost within the last eighteen months, the bark Rebecca Knowles and the brig Viola. The latter was the last square rigged vessel built in New Bedford for whaling and was only about thirteen years old.
 The disappearance of the pretty lit- tie brig, with the captain, his wife. daughter and crew of twenty men will probably remain one of the mysteries of the sea. The Viola sailed out past Gayhead on a whaling voyage over fifteen months ago and never has been reported since. Old sailors here think she was too heavily spared for her build and was overwhelmed in a sud- den storm.

 Ground for this belief is found in recent incidents and in statements of men who usually know what is going to happen Repubficanswise in Con- necticut and who know it before 1t happens.
 Col. Robert O. Eaton. Maj. John Buckley and Senator George W. Klett
 are three Connecticut Republicans

 takable sentiment in the state for

 Tn these times it is good for the soul to meet the optiInist. He does not worry about whether the coal win hold out through the winter. He does not consider that there will be
 any appreciable quantity of snow be- i fore spring. He bridges over the next two months of winter, deep coid ana conCnuouS, with ms opul- mistic brain: In the turning north ward of the sun today he sees his
 daffodils, hyacinths, jonquiis and tulips already breaking ground Let l the objector warn him that the period is long and the way is weary. He is afire in an instant. He states his contention firmly, his argument is unanswerable. The beginning of spring is only as far away as was to- day on the twenty -second of Septem- Der. And everybody knows that Sep tember has only just passed by. The best of it is that there is no denying the truth of his assertion: In three l short months, months as short as those since September passed, comes 1 spring.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
A Tribute to Marion Lanb,


 MT. Editor: To have been friends of Marion Lamb was to have re- eeived the gentle ministries of spring time sunshine and beauty.
 Marion possessed unusual qualities of mind and character; her spirit iv- ed in the freedom of the wild flowers and her life was as pure as the blue sky. She was a child of nature, and was one with it's sincerity and open ness. Simple things were her delight, and birds and flowers and children were her special friends.
 Life to her was a choice opportuni- ty for self improvement and for help fitness to others and neither were her interests selfish, nor was her heipfulness limited to her own hong Gentleness and modestY gave to her faandship refinement and charm, and her eager ana intelligent mind made her an engaging companion.
 The ways of the Spirit were natural to her and received from her constant and close cultivation. In the experi- ences of vital, personal faith, her life was always radiant, and her chief happiness was in bringing happiness to others. Her cheerfulness was in fections, and her sunny, loving na- ture deeply endeared her to her friends.
 Brief, was this life of hers, but high were it's aspirations, earnest were it's purposes fine was it's spirit, and in it, others have found new joy in the out of doors added charm in simple living, and more real ant win some, the way of Christ. Here, was the triumphant faith that oVercometh the world, and having kept the faith, she passed from earth, leaving behind her influences which make better and brighter those by whom she has been much beloved.

Dressed Beef.

It is reported that Sir Francis Webster is a wealthy manufacturer of hemp goods in Scotland and the own CT of a stock range in Texas on which thousands of cattle range, clad. during the winter at least. in garments other than their own hide and hair.
 Sir Francis's cows, it appears, wear suits of hemp cloth made in his own factory to protect them from the cold and snow, make them less susceptible to tuberculosis and increase their daily yield of milk.
 Each COW, it is said has two suits a week. They are not elaborate affairs, by any simply coverall blank cts that fit loosely. There are 1,eea cows in his dairy. farm, and they use 1000 hemp blankets week.
 That, of course means added ex- pense, but the yield of milk during the cold weather is about 27 per cent. larger than from cows net thus pro- tected.

sERcER's DEFIANCE

There never was chance that Vic tor Berger as the representative of the fifth congressional district of Wisconsin would be permitted to take his seat in congress, and the lower houss showed how much opposed it vas to allowing 9 man of his type to become a member Of that body by re- fusfng him his seat by a unanimous vote barring one. Berger has been re- elected to congress by these whose sentiments he voices. That he will endeavor to take his seat Is to be ex- pecaed but never can an American congress accept the responsibility o1 permitting such a man to participate In it's deliberations.
 No one understands this better than Berger. but as if to defy the action ot fhe house before taken a second time lb be would retract nothing that he had satd regarding the entrance of this country into the war and if he had fl to do over again he would make his articles stronger,

What will be the result of the prosecutions undertaken as the result of the large number of deaths from wood alcohol no one can tell. but it is evident that the authorities are moving with commendabIe prompt ness in bringing those who are re- sponsible for the use of this liquid as substitute for whisE1ey to justice.

They didn't expect to get the best whiskey but were willing to take T poor quality or a home made con- eoction. and to pay a high price for it n order to reap financial gain from the Christmas trade.

TAKINe THE CENSUS.

Commencing tomorrow the census takers win get busy. It is not an en- viable job which many of them have before them in securing the inforna- ton called for on the blanks, but it is @ task which can be greatly expedited and simplifed if there is the proper cooperation on the part of the people. There will be all kinds of experiences awaiting the census men, who will be su7jeeted to as many questions as they ask themselves, who will find many a door closed to them until their persistence overcomes it and who will have their troubles in get ting information from those who have but a slight knowledge of Eng fish and who mistrust- close question ing under such conditions.
 Where the census and the time for taking it is understood there ought to bo no trouble. It should be realized that tse visit of the census taker will be lessened by the speed with which he ie given the information sought. T nose of the census is to find put how many people there are in each hamlet, town. city and state. and thus III tHe WHole ~eouAt1S' IL ID e1hoH every ten years and providing the proper credentials are shown there should be no apprehension on the part of the people that the answers given to the enumerator will cause any legal entanglements, increase their taxes or otherwise operate against ones welfare.
