Towards the end of May In ths outporta

John's when the "praties are sot." you
will be awakened some fine morning; by a
peculiar tap, tap, tap, coming from the
seashore. This la the first sign of prepara
tion for the fishery; the men are over
hauling their boats and caulking" up any
Joints that may have opened during the
winter exposure on land. Then for days
there Is nothing but this tapping from
scores of caulkers' hammers, nnd the air
becomes redolent wtlh the mingled fumes
of tar and wood smoke from' the fires
lighting nesr each boat. Paint la scarcely
ever put on boats here; nothing but a good,
decent coating of tar, with perhaps a
colored streak around the side, of either
yellow or red oohre, mixed with cod oil.
The old salts "don't hold with paint;" It's
not equal to the real stuff, tar. Should a
bait require repairs, these are done near
the shore, mostly by the owner, for every

The fishery begins about June 16, but all
depends on the coming of the caplln, a
small 'bait fish about seven Inches long.
Caplln appears In countless numbers along
the shore, and for weeks stays In near the
land. This fish Is much prised by both
fishermen and farmers. The former use
It for bait for codfish, the latter for making
manure, and also spread It as It comes
from the water over oats, potatoes and
turnips; "green manure. '1 this Is called. As
a slight digression, I may say that a Ne
foundlander never dreams of saying either
cod or codfish. The cod being the only fish
In his eyes, he says fish simply In speaking
of cod; all other kinds of fish are specified,
such as salmon, herring, etc. It has been
decided by law that fish In Newfoundland
parlance means cod, and that alone. To
catch It, caplln Is very good bait, but has
an additional value. Inasmuch as It entices
the fish near the shore, where It Is caught
quite easily by the fishermen. To see the
enormous amount of eaplln thrown In on
the land-wash by those who till ground
one would think that the ocean had been
depleted. Carts pass along tha roads day
after day, from morning till night, for
weeks, loaded full with caplln. . At times

There are certain customs that are rarely
departed from. One Is that the sons In a
family marry In turn, beginning with the
eldest. Raoh, to the day of his marrlnge
generally between the twenty-eighth and
thirtieth year gives every cent of his earn
ings to his parents, and lives In perfect
filial subjection till the hour comes that
he departs to his own home. The father
builds the house and gives to each a piece
of ground; the youngest falls In for the
family dwelling and surrounding land. The
girls, one and all, are cut off without a
cent. This latter will at first sight appear
to be a grave Injustice, but as the girls
are supposed to marry, and, with rare ex
ceptions, do, the system works out cor
rectly. One blessing It certainly brings
with it Is love and bapplnoss between hus
band and wife. Unhappy marriages are al
most an unheard-of thing In the outports.
The proverb that when hunger comes In
through the door love files out through the
window has no meaning for Newfoundland
ers. The greater the poverty the greater
the love and happiness. Donahoe's Maga

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA
Htetisr of tbs Board of Education Almost
Develops a Riot
MAJORITY SEEK! TO ELECT TEACHERS
Jumt as Matter Was Aboat B Fat
to Vote RvHtralalnir Orar aisrned
by Jmdm Oattoa Stop the
Proeeedlage.
The meeting of the Board of Education
last nlghtiwas of a most exciting nature
to the large crowd of people who gathered
to see whet the board would attempt to
I do after the restraining order had been
i dissolved which prevented the old board
' from electing teachers. The board, or
rather the majority, proceeded to allow
j the three attorneys, Baxter, Van Dusen
i and Fleharty. tlOO each as fees for defend
i Ing the board In the rase. This caused a
storm. They next proceeded to ndopt a
new set of rules, which would permit them
! to elect teachers at any time. The minority
fought the measure, but It was adopted.
, They then presented the teachers' lists and
1 were on the point of adopting the same
' when a restraining order from Judge A. I.
' Button was served and put a stop to the
proceedings. Jay Laverty, the president of
the board, when asked for n statement,
simply gave the bare facts as all he cared
to say of the meeting.
It was expected that last night's meeting,
following the injunction case Just settled,
would be of the fireworks order, and as a
consequence brought out a representative
body of taxpayers and cltlsens. On the
! witness stand In the injunction rasa re
I cently the majority members of the board
swore they had no Intention of electing
teachers. Janitors or other employes of the
i schools and on tho strength of this evidence
j the case was dlsmlKsed. The rules of the
! board provide the teachers' committee shall
I report to the board annually after tho
organization In May a Hat of teachers and
Janitors to be elected, and this has been
I the method used by the previous boards.
I Things began to move shortly after the
l meeting was called to order and when Jay
; Laverty read to the board the claim of
j Attorney Van Dusen, Flaherty and Baxter
I for services rendered In the Injunction cms
I r tha sum ftf Z3ftV then the trntlhle
began. Morrill and Bchlndel asserted that
the board had no right to spend the peo
ple's money In that manner. They, how
ever, were overruled by the majority mem
bers. New Rales Are Iprssg,
Then Mr. Laverty brought forth a
printed book of new rules for the govern
ing of the board and all were willing ex
cepting Bchlndel and Morrill. They took
the stand that the board had no right to
change the rules In that manner and de
manded that the proposed rules first be
read, which Laverty absolutely refused to
do. It was brought out that Morrill and
Bchlndel had never seen a copy of the pro
posed new rules and they took exception
to the Laverty way of railroading the
thing through. Corrlgan and Rich voted
with Laverty and they were declared
adopted. '
Laverty then brought out his list of
teachers. Janitors and .other employes for
the ensuing year and presented a copy to
each of the members, and made a' motion
that the list be accepted. Morrill, how
ever, noticed that the salaries' had been
somewhat changed and demanded that he
be glverf 'time to look the. list over, but he
was Ignored and Laverty asked for roll-
call on , "bis motion, which, had. been sec-
onded by Rich
j Morrill and 8chlndel were on their feet

Laverty, Corrlgan and Rich attempted to
ride over the minority members of the
board and carry the motion through.
Injunction Papers Served.
At this point Bchlndel laid hold of some
papers In Corrlgans hands and tore them
up, which brought matters to a head.
Rich was on his feet In an Instant and
started to lay hands on Bchlndel and Im
mediately there were symptoms of a rough
house. Superintendent McLaln stepped
tween Rich and Bchlndel and by that U.:;j
the cltlsens expressed their disapproval, and
for a time it looked as though violence
would be done. Order was restored with
Member Morrill still holding the floor and
demanding his rights, but Laverty In
sisted on a vote.
At this point a deputy sheriff served a
restraining order on Laverty, Rich and
Corrlgan, restraining them from electing
teachers, and other employes which they
had previously disclaimed In court any In
tention of doing. The restraining order
was signed by Judge A. L. Button. The
