Catching a Sea Serpent.

4 strange adventure to a boats crew
from tile whaling bark Alaska in the
A ctic Ocean is recounted by the first

On the 10th OF last October, when the
vessel was forty-six miles south of
Alaska, an object was perceived in the
distance whose proportions and shape
Indicated it to be monster sea lion.
A boat was Immediately lowered and
placed in charge of First Officer John
son and five OF the crew, named An
drew Nelson, William johnson, An
tome Maya, George Marshtield, and
ii rs Stuten.
As the distance was decreased be-
tween the bark and the huge animal
they became convinced that it was the
sea serpent When they came within
a few hundred yards the monster made
Il dash for the boat, striking out its inn
menSe tail against the craft. Several
of the occupants were precipitated into
the water, but were rescued with diff

A harpoon and lance were fired into
the body of the beast, and it disappear

later it reappeared. floating on the wa

and towed to the vessel and hoisted on
deck.
There the capture was seen to be a

GETTING EVEN A grocer was
one day hungrily waiting for his clerk
to return from dinner, that he, too,
might partake of his MONDAY meal,
when boy came into the store with 4
basket in his hand and said: Il seed a
boy grab up this ere basket from the
door and run, and | ran after him and
made him give it up "My boy, you
are good, honest boy replied the
grocer, "and good boys should always
be encouraged. La a box in the back
room there are eight dozen eggs; YOU
can take them home to your mother
and keep the basket The grocer had
been saving up those eggs for days
and weeks to reward some one. In
rewarding a good boy he also got eight
dozen bad eggs carried out of the
neighborhood free of cost, and he
chuckled as he walked homeward. The
afternoon waned, night came and went.
and once more the grocer went to his
dinner. During his absence the boy
returned with the eggs and sold them
to the clerk, thus getting even with the
grocer, and making good profit of the
bad eggs, There is profit in most
things if people will only profit BY them.
There IS profit for instance. in using n.

Lakeside and hite Star per-
fumed soaps. They are the best in the
market, being expressly prepared for
the toilet, the bath. and the laundry.

The Oklahoma Lands.

Probably the best way to settle tie
Oklahoma difficulties is for the govern
ment to pay for the land, and have 1t sur
veyed and put upon the market, giving
settlers chance to buy what they
have taken unlawfully. Although
those who have taken the lands may
legally, and perhaps justly, be busted,
it would be found difficult and trouble
some. THESE lauds are part of what
is known as the Indian Territory, en-
bracing an area of about 10000 square
miles, very fertile and in 50 me places
well timbered. In 1866 the government
contracted to buy these lands. intend
ing to reserve them for certain tribes or
portions of tribes, of Indians, and f0l
freedmen. This contract has never
been carried out, and the land may still
be regarded as belonging to the In
dams.

The Fair of IZamaI.


On the Sth of December the festival
of Our Lady OF Izamal is celebrated
with great pomp. A large fair is also
held in the city during those days in
her honor. Even merchants from
neighboring states flock there. if not to
kneel at the shrine of the Virgin. to
worship at the altar of Mercury. Dew
otees on those occasions crowd the pri-
vate apartment of the doll, which is al
so carried in solemn procession, deck
ed in gorgeous array, and followed by
long train of worshipers.
After church service is over, all leave
in hurry and rush to the bull-tight.
Many of the Indians, who know abso-
lutely nothing about tduronacby, enter
the ring to fight the bull, exposing
themselves to be injured for life, or die
a painful death. In this we see an an
cient custom yet prevalent The an
clients sacrificed their lives to deities
for any benefit received. To-day an
Indian begs favorite of his patron
saint, and as proof OF his deep graft
tude promises TO tighi a bull, keep
drunk a certain number of days, or do
some other rash thing.
Bull-ighting in Yucatan is not like
bull-fghting in Spain. The ring is a
double palisade sustaining sheds cover
ed with palm leaves, that are divided
into boxes. Every one provides his
own seat. The best and the worst, big
and small all attend the bull-fight.
Those who, on foot, merely play with
the bull, only have henequen sack to
serve as shield. Others, also on foot,
are provided with poles about three
feet long, having II sharp iron head,
like that of an arrow, called rejoR.
When the PEG lie are tired of seeing
the bull played WITH they call for the
rcjoaeros. Those with the spears de-
serbed then come forward. Their bus
mess is to strike the bull in the nape
and kill it, but it is seldom done at
once. The beast is chased by two. or
three men, blow after blow is dealt, the
blood gushing afresh each time. The
first pain makes the animal furious, but
the loss of lood soon weakens it, and
it becomes almost harmless. Then the
horscmen are called on to lasso it and
drag it away. While another bull is
being fetched rockets are fired, the
people applaud, the band plays,a clown
meanwhile doing his best to amuse the
spectators. If a bull is disinclined to
fight they grid his body with ropes in
every possible way, fastening tire-crack-
ers about his head and tail. Agra
waited and tortured, the poor beast
jumps about, and the crackers explode,
to the great delight of all present, big
and small. This renders it furious for
a few minutes; but If it again refuses to
fight it is taken away as coward not
worth killing Alice d. le HoRgeoa. in

Landing in the Woods.

was once floating in n balloon over
a fair estate at an elevation of about
5000 feet and as there was little wind,
and night was drawing on, we elected
TO descend in Il wide green meadow on

that Is some OF them; but they are not
practical. Others, again, are far from
graceful and did yon ever see a wo-

out Of her garden? Well, some women
look about as awkward handling the
cue. Then they get chalk all over
themselves. and II is an awful strain on
some of them to remember which is
their BAH in the game Like great
many males a woman can never figure
on position. and nowadays that's the
whole game. Even when she becomes
quite expert she is liable in game to
do as the average male amateur does
lungc ahead and make the easiest shot

Criticism.

In order to make favorable criti-

town of any value to the person or per-
sons criticised, we must have the pri-
vilege of eriticising unfavorably when
ever the subject, in our opinion, de-
mands it, There seems to be an idea
prevalent in this and other communi-
ties outside of large cities, that the
local papers must Of necessity give a
favorable report of every concert, lee
ture, or theatrical performance that is
given in their town While making no
pretentions to musical, dramatic or
literary criticisms of high order that
will be of great value to the artists, we
shall take the liberty of always passing
judgment upon whatever performances
may be given here, whether by people
from abroad or by local talent, trying
always TO favor that which is refined
and elavating in its character, and hav-
ing tendency to elevate and educate
