mackerel and luck was with you and just as you were about to draw in your nets with a fine catch half a dozen of Uncle Sams battleships came along and frightened all the mackerel away wouldnt it give you a headache Thats just what it did to Capt Sol Jacobs of the prime little auxiliary schooner Quartette which reached T wharf Sol had a grievance against the United States navy which it will take many days for him to live down The other afternoon when the sun was just about sinking in the sky and the water was as smooth as glass Sol spied a school of mackerel It was the largest school he had seen for weeks Orders were given to lower the seining boats and throw out the nets The rest was easy for the nets sank down on the fish and Sc stood on the deck wearing a smile and thinking of the dollars realized by that catch But behold just before the men in the seining dories had pulled in the Bets at the bottom imprisoning the toothsome catch along came half a dozen of the battleships that were in the maneuvers at Provincetown and kicked up the ocean so that the mack erel were frightened away I was angry enough said Sol to fight the whole blamed squadron Boston Daily Advertiser ARE

Wera Not Great The htrontest impression gained in reading of the experiences of old time physicians isj of their boldness and dar ing Most of them were by necessity surgeons as well as doctors of medi cine Isolated often from other mem bers of their profession and obliged to bear the entire responsibility of the welfare of their patients they learned to rely upon themselves and to take chances that would make the general practitioner shudder in these days of many specialists and wide division of labor Perhaps none ever undertook surgical operations who had no train ing in that line but with no hospitals within reach with few instruments and with the modern antiseptics and nursing systems undreamed of they ventured to use the knife in critical cases and as it appears with a large measure of success They were faithful hardworking servants of the public in the early day They traveled by horseback over trails that took them through forests and swamps and across streams Their field of practice often included a large territory and they were necessarily out in all sorts of weather Ad encoun tered hardships of various kinds Nor were the rewards great Few of those old time doctors accumulated wealth some of them not even a competence for old age But it is easy to see that they were a force in the community and had much to do with the general development of the state
