troihictiou of llit'll‘ bunks into thi-

to change the readers. The publishers
of the Lippiticoit serics do not belong to
the syndicate. As a two-thirds vote of
the board nccessary to make u
change. the l.ippiiic.»tt publishers were
quite sanguine thit their books would
be adopted. The members who promised
to vote for the Lippiiicott readers were.

the vote of a member of the Board of lid-

down lower than they had been for
several years.

All over the North. also. the straw-
berries were an abundant rro . for every-
body could raise them; an this made
them cheap in the cities. and gladdcncd
the hearts of the poor people there. who
now bought berries for a there tritle.

They had begun by paying two cents
a quart: but they soon put the price
down to one cent. 'l‘hcu many of the
strawberry pickers began to complain;
and noisy Joe lliriiey. a man who spent
much of his earnings for liipi tr. said he
wouldn‘t stand it'. He said many of the
strawberry growers were rich torn: and
if all the pickers would just strike far
higher wages. and refuse to pick for less
than two cents a quart. which was the
old price. the growers would soon come
to their terms.

Then .lini \Vliite said the growers
ought to pay three cents a quart. just as
they did lust year; and it was a shame
that the rich lllt‘ll should try to cut down
wages so that the pickers couldn‘t make
a living; and he said that his children
shouldn‘t. pick for [rs-s- than two cents.

pickers: and quite a lllllllllt‘l‘ of children
came. and some ofthcir parents too; and
the hitter saidstliat. as they had but

afford to pay two cents a «pint for pick-

Then came the blackberries. which did
well for both growers and pickers; and
when the fruit season was over. the
strikers were not so badly off as they had
good reason to fear that they should be.
But Tommy O‘Iiricii had really done
well: and best of all. he was not only
able to buy himself it cow cut of his
earnings. but to add a litte to his stock
in the Savingsdiank. also. The next
year he sold milk to Joe and Jim. and to
several families besides.

Everybody seems to know every

appreciated by nll. that every one who
comes to Cottage City comes for pleasure
or health. For over fifteen years the
Neptune Club has made a yearly visit to
Cottage City. It is not ditlieuit to uu~
demtnnd then why the Neptune uniform
is a passport to almost every cottage.
The naiue of the Neptunes is untririiish»

formed between the old-timers at Cot-

to ply this trade. Accordingly be con-

within a foot of the ground. and so he
drives through the streets or rests in
shady places. It is no unusual thing to
see some lovely maiden—or otherwise»—

that process.

.\ number of sharks were also caught.
one of which was brought to the yacht.
One of the sailors positively asserted that
shark meat was as good as chicken; ac~
cordingly Mr. Shark was dressed. or
rather undressed. but us no one seemed
particularly anxious to test the truth of

he was taken out. Red noses. which
