"These men now furnish lodgings to seamen, and incidentally shanghai a few of them for dubious craft!
The next morning one little fellow met the principal and said, "You said yesterday I was going to die: well, here I am, and I ain't dead yet." On Monday morning, when they assembled in school, they were still full of the new ideas. "Dr. Gillett had said they all had to die: would they, truly?" they asked me. I could only confirm the statement.
This was pretty well for a boy of sixteen, but the reader must not award the palm to him without first knowing the adventure of John Gillett of Williams County, who clambered down a hollow tree to get some bear cubs. While he was securing them, the opening overhead was darkened by the body of the mother bear.
In 1910 at a hearing granted to the National Association by the Judiciary Committee of Congress the District was represented by Miss Emma M.
