The giverS OF gladneSs,
The + he ewes y that that shone with truth.
The hands whose touch was life,
The lips that withheld not kisses,
And spoke no evil;
The lovers, the singers, the dreamers.
Who knew the secrets of sacred gard
ems,
And told them in words that die not?
They were as white-winged eagles
Rising from the sea to heaven.
Even as waves that turn to eagles,
And fade into the light of the sky,
All, all are vanished into the Valley
of Stiffness
Beyond the Hill" 1880.

j. Edward Canning of Bangor
made a name for himself as fisher
man the other day when he had q
double strike while fishing at the
Bangor Salmon Pool and by clever
maneuvering, landed both salmon.
Mr.. Canning was in the fast water,
ing life easy when both fish struck.
The father hello the rods while the
sons handled the boat. The fish,
fighting for liberty, broke water,
sulked and dashed, causing Mr.. Cam
ming to repeatedly change the rods
from one hand to the other to keep
the lines from snarling. After Can
ming had played both fish for nearly
twenty minutes, DR.. Edwin Gould of
Roclsland who was fishing at the
pool, took one of the rods while Mr..
Canning landed a 14-pound salmon.
Then, taking the rod from DR.. Gould,
he soon exhausted the other big fish
which weighed 10 1-2 pounds when
landed. 1t was clever work and
caused the experienced fisherman to
use all of his skill to land both fish.
1t was the first time for nearly half
a century that two fish have been
played and successfully landed from
the same boat simultaneously.
While herring continue to be
scarce in the Bay Of Fundy and Pas
samaquoddy Bay. or some Of the
catches have been small and occa-
sionally containing red-feed, which
is not looked upon as satisfactory
for canning into food products, there
are rumors at Eastport that some of
the Gamers are not eager to open
their plants until late June or July.
Not all of last years pack Of sar-
dimes has been sold and at this part
of the season the old stock should
have been cleaned out, or moving
rapidly so as to assure the majority
of Gamers that there might be a
profit in canning new sardines for
the coming few months. At the
larger part of Eastport general la
borers of sardine factories have been
