DISCOURAGING.

AN EDITOR WHO WAS ALWAYS OUTSTRIPPED
IN THE RACE OF LIFE.
He was a sad-eyed, meek-faced man, and
we supposed he merely wished to give us a
news item, but when he commenced telling
us about building barn on his ranch
19Ox2S0 feet, seven stories high, and orna-
mented with bSy windows, we thought it
was time to check him, and 20 we com
meDced:
"Well, we must admit that that is pretty
large barn for this country, but back in the
states our father built barn 325x500 feet
nine stories high, and furnished with steam
elevators; the
"Back in the states" interrupted our lis
tener. "Why, that wasn't much Of barn
for the states. [ remember. now, that when
was quite young my father built a chicken
coop 550xS32 fee'. l DONE recollect how
many stories it was high, but L know that
there was a cupola on it for the ROSTERS"
about how high was that cupola?" we
asked.
''I don't remember the exact height now,
mister" was the reply, "bnt know that il
was so high that the IA upper tiers of ROSTERS
died from the effects of .he light atmosphere
the first night"
Then he looked up towards the ceiling and
commenced humming "Jesus loves me-"
and we went out aud sat down on the wood
pile and wondered why somebody WAS
always outstripping us in the race of Hie.-
Fairplay (Col.) Sentinel.

STATE SENTINEL THURSDAY SEPTEMBER 80 1915

Franz Hauser made a sudden spring for
ward toward il; but he was neld back. His
associates knew that by going any nearer
they would expose themselves to attack
from the monster, for which they were un-
prepared. They gave the signal to the boat
and all three were Immediately hoisted up
Having the covering removed from his head,
Franz Hauser declared that he had recog-
nized in the female face one of his sisters,
and he was determined to descend
again TO rescue her body from
being devoured by the submarine monster.
His wish was not granted, however. he being
too nervous and his strength too much ex-
hausted, and 1t was agreed to make an at
tempt the next day or the day after. But, in
the morning, young Hauser was delirious,
and he fingered on in a paroxysmal condi-
ton for some days, till death closed his eyes.
The two survivors of his expedition under
the sea have made sworn statements OF the
truth of these facts, and IL is believed that
some presentation has been sent TO the
British authorities OF the Admiralty for a
complete and thorough scientific search of
the entire vicinity of the Beterrier Lodges
TO ascertain whether these tremendous crea-
lures do feed on human victims OF ship
wreck.

RAISTON,S RIVAL

A SKETCH OF JAMES q. FLOOD, THR BONANZA
KING.
A correspondent of the Boston Herald
tells story of James G.. Flood, of the firm
OF Flood & 0'Brien. who rule the financial
affairs of California and Nevada. He says
J. G. Flood is the name OF the man who is at
the head of that great moneyed institution
in San Francisco which was the cause of the
breaking of the Bank OF California; mean
the Bank OF Nevada. The history OF that
movement and all its results are well known
to the readers of the Herald. Bus the
history OF the man who was the prime
mover OF the affair has never yet been
printed. He was born, 1t is believed, in
Ireland, but on that point my Informant
Is not positive. He made his ap-
pearance at Fort Hamilton many years ago
when he was quite lad and engaged him
self as workman in the wheelwright shop
of Colonel Church. He was accounted
good boy, that is, there was nothing particu-
larly bad about him. He was faithful in his
work, and was OF rather an inquifing mind,
always wanting to know the why and where
fore of everything. He could not read or
write, and the two sons of Colonel Church
were then about his age. They have since
grown up and keep the hotel; are the
judges, coroneTs, sherffs' agents, agents Of
the government for many things, are agents
of the Western Union Telegraph and of tue
ASSOcldI0u ItSsS buoIo. lnoiT idtncE Is uOW
dead. Young Flood prevailed on Thos. G..
Church to teach him TO read and write, and
10 proved
VERY APT SCHOLAR.
His learning enabled him to take front
rank among his fellow workmeu, and it is
said there are good many wagons now IN
existence on Long Island that have peculiar
finish put on certain parts of them by young
Flood. When the California fever broke out
there were three companies OF troops sent
there from Fort Hamilton. In one OF these
companies Flood enlisted and went with
them to California. After serving his time
he went into the mines, and came back
again to the wheelwright shop at Fort Ham,
ilton with some $1,000 or $4,000. After stay
ing g short time he married, and soon after
with his wife, went to San Fran
francisco. he there opened bar
room and became quite popular, made
money, and, being naturally sbrewd and
careful in investments, has risen now to be
one OF the acknowledged powers of the
Pacific coast. There are several around
Church'5 Hotel az Fort Hamilton who will
remember the young man, and who will
doubtless now agree that it was q good
place TO emigrate from. De is now said to
| be worth money enough to buy up the
whole region around Fort Hamilton, and
throw in Fort Lafayette rs q chOwder depot,
which is all it is tit for. His history is like
that of many another in this tree country

CLUTCHED BY A CUrTLE-FIsH.

THE BODY OF SCHILLER VICTIM IN THE
TERRIBLE GRAsP-A DIVER RECOGNIZES
HIS SISTERS FACE.
Tbs New York Sun tells the following
horrible story: Mr.. Franz Hauser, whose
body was turied at Penzance, near Lands
End, was a native of Luxembourg. His
mother and two sisters were on the Schiller,
intending a visit to their old home, while be
remained in Iowa. Upon the news of the
wreck Of the vessel he became so deeply al
iected that he fell into "a raging fever. When
h became cOnvalescent he mSdo inquiries
whether tho bodies of his relatives had been
found. He obtained no satisfactory Informs
ton ia tho States, aud at last resolved TO
make a personal effort on the spot. He
came across the ocean, and at once went to
Penzance, where at last no gained the Ger
tainty that neither OF the three corpses had
been recovered. Thereupon no employed
two experienced divers, purchased q COM
plete diving armor, and submitted to n
course of training under the instructions OF
the TWO men ne had employed. AS soon as
be was able TO move about under the water
and accustomed TO the heavy suit, be deter
mined to descend into the sea, where the
Schiller bad gone down and search for bis
mother and sisters. Several descents were
made without success, though the remains
OF the vessel were see1, yet no body could
be observed. But one oay as the three men
were silently moving about among some
sharp pointed crsgs and reefs,
aud being considerable dis
lance away from the wreck itself.
Franz Hauser was startled by the sight OF
what appeared as the head OF female form.
IL seemed TO hang from reef some ten feet
high. He directed the attention of the
others by pointing towards it. Slowly, the
three stepped forward in the direction of the
reef Nearing the spot, pitiful and heart
rendipg scene presented itself. What was
supposed TO be a female head was such In
reality, yet little OF the body TO which 1t be-
Iongod could be seen. The corpse was
firmly held in the clutches OF a gigantic
cuttlc-6sh, which, with It's enormous arms
and extended suckers, chung TO it and TO
the sides ofthe rock like wild beast feast
ing on its prey. The sight,
say the two surviving divers, was shock
ing, yet awe inspiring. They describe
THE cUrTLE-FIsH
having circular central body that counts
not less than four feet in diameter, OF a
greenish black hue with alternating bright
and dark spots and a Shiny surface. II was
rounded like dome, and 1t seemed as II a
portion OF the human body had been alb
Sorped into II by the tremendous power OF
suction this monster Is believed to possess.
Its arms-tbe divers counted eight--were
apparently OF immense strength, being over
twelve feet long, and judged not TO be less
than foot In diameter where they joined
the body. Some of these arms chung TO the
unfortunate victim, others held fast
to the protuberance of the rocks,
and several were swinging through the
water like the trunk of an elephant but
twice it's size. Such was the view the three
] divers had as they approached this reef, and

The New York Tribune says: 1t has been
understood for several days past that
negotiations were on foot with Messrs.
Moody and Sankey which looked to the
beginning of their proposed revival in this
city instead of some OF the smaller towns
of the Eastern states, where it was at one
time believed they would begin their
crusade, The first overtures to them
were made by the Young Mems C.ristisn
Association, and IL was reported
yesterday that terms had been
agreed upon which would secure
the appearance of the Evangelisls in
this city about November l next. The
terms, as far "a cofld be learned, were that
the Young Mems Christian Association had
agreed to pay Messrs. Moody and Sankey a
small sum each as salary, and assume their
personal expenses and all the expenses
OF rent, printing, advertising, etc, necessary
to carrying on revival during the coming
winter. The only method by which the
Christian Association was to be allowed 20
remunerate iteelf was by the sale of tracts
