Tom Crosby, a cnanky, cross- g‘rained old fisherman, and the terror of the Long Cove boys, once fell foul of Shorty and next day found his dory gone from the beach and floating bottom-up in the mill dam a quarter or 5 mile away. How the youngster got it up there is a mystery to this day, but some folks say that Captain Crawford’s voke of oxen had been pur- loined for t e purpose. raided ( fruits Y deductic Lem R “Huh!

The broad waters of the Bay of Fundy shimmered as a vast steelâ€"blue expanse in the glare of the hot June sun and merged into the azure of the cloudlesvs sky with but a streak of faint mistiness at the horizon. Ap- parently oblivious of the heat and the exertion, two barefooted boys ran down the dusty Bay Shore road and threw themselves upon a patch ’of bush-shaded grass fringing the high- way. The older of the pair, a stocky, sandyâ€"haired youngster endowed with all the aggressive co'cks'une manner which goes with twelve years of earn - ly existence, was the first to speak. “Got the pipe, Lem?” “Yep!” neplied the younger boy, wiping his face with the sleeve of his blouse.

It seem- ed strange that the only rocky land. in Long Cove should have been relei gated to the schoolhouse and the Anglican church, but teachers and olergymen were wonrt to apologize for the ruggedness of their respective ‘tem'itories by Lu‘ndry references to education and religion being found-ed on a rock.

No man can do his best work when he is obliged to spur on his jaded faculties; when he feels his mentality lagging and is compelled to force it to yield by pressure. There must he spontaneity in the thought or there will be no vividness of imagination, no certainty of memory. Thousands of employees go to their work in the morning so completely used up, their faculties so jaded, their spirits so low, that they are incapable of accuracy 31‘ efficient effort. They have no enthusiasm in their work; their minds -wan-de-r; they make all sorts of mistakes because- they are in no condition to focus their powers upon their tasks. In fact their brain cells are in a constant state of ex- haustion, and the result is mediocrity in work instead of-a high standard of excellence of which many are really capable. The average brain is capable of srus- sltained effort and great efficiency when all the physical standards are up when all the tissues are whole- somely nourished; but,_ the moment there is an accumulation of poisonous material in the blood. efficiency is im- mediately lowered.
