THE SEA SERPENT.

There seems to be no longer any doubt of
the existence of this marine monster. For n
century or more similar serpents have been
seen and described, but the stories have been
diseirtlited until this summer, when. through
the persistence of the monster in exhibiting
itself, it can no longer be considered myth.
In the last century q missionary to Green
land describes such monster. This was on
July 6, 1874. Soon after this the bishop of
Bergen, member of the Copenhagen
Academy of Sciences, published Natural
History Of Norway" !" in which he collects con-
siderable evidence to prove the existence of
this serpent In 1917 the sea serpent was first
seen opposite Gloucester. Mass, and the Lin
naen society of New England, after carefully
investigating the alleged apparition, reported
that it considered the testimony obtained
asnificient to place the existence Of the animal
beyond doubt OnAug. 9, 1913, Capt. Nc
Quahe, in command of the Daedalus of the
Brisish navy, encountered sea serpent. But
this year the monster has been seen several
times, notably Off Gloucester on the Massa-
chusetts coast and in the Hudson river and by
highly creditable witnesses. IL the animal is
not eventually captured, it is to be hoped at
least photograph OF him may be obtained
when the accuracy Of eur picture Of him win
be established

On the Edge of Society.

The most prominent characteristic of the
young man who believes he movers about the
edge of society is his disposition to speak O.
tentatiously of his debts. l was going to
Kingston the other day when found myself
seated next to young man of unknown in
come whose acquaintance was obliged to ac-
knowledge. He wore yellow and brown plaid
trousers, dark brown blouse, white neck
tie and pure white crush hat. ! recognized
the outfit and said:
"Go.ng to the mountains, eh!'
ayes, b'Jove; you don't know what q relief

"Why, what did you do that fora.'

bills and haberdashers bills have been thrust

But now drawing long breath) am clear

rather be an icicle, don't you know, than the

The pitiful little object didn't owe cent il
the world, except to his landlady. Not that
he was honest, but because he could not get
trusted for a cigarette, let alone q suit of
clothing. The hy suit that he wore,,I hap
pened to know, had been purchased at $40
for-this-week-only sale in Eighth avenue, and
when his landlady threw him out he bundled
off TO the Catskills, where he hoped that his
dainty manners and imitation English would
give him provender for week or two. Mean
time he must needs pour the tale of his perse-
cutions from collectors into the ears of those
whom he could not thus deiraud. because ID
was fashionable to initiate the young men
about town who have credit and abuse it,

HOW The FIGHT OCEAN.

Origin of q Row in DonnybrOOk Fair.
" s Heads and Shillelahs.
How did the row begin. | have been try
ing for the last half hour to find out: but,
after all, no one but an Englishman would
have asked the question. ] cannot tell you
the least, but can form pretty good idea,
and perhaps convey one to your readers, by
explaining how a row that l witnessed many
years ago in Donnybrook fair, of immortal
memory, did begin.
1t was late in the afternoon, and the fair
had preserved an unwonted air of quiet
during the day, when there came staggering
along, close to where was standing, an
Irishman who was evidently spelling for
fight" Close by stood dancing booth, one
of the ordinary canvas tents one sees at every
fair, or race course for that matter, with a
platform in the middle and bench running
all round, on which the spectators sat On
the outside, as they sat could be clearly seen,
under the thin covering of the tents, the out
lines of their figures as they leaned against
the canvas.
-Four o'clock an no foight yet" muttered
the new arrival regretfully, as he steadied
himself to look round for a possible antago-
mist. Suddenly his eye caught the booth, and
rested approVmgly upon 1t, when the canvas
swayed with the heads and shoulders of the
spectators within. Without moments hesi-
tation he gave "haroosh," waved his shille-
lah round his head, and brought it down
with all his force upon the. projection nearest
to him, representing the skull of some haplesS
inmate, who, in fancied security, was enjoy
ing quiet view of the proceedings inside.
The projection disappeared, and with it the
owner of the head which had caused it. In a
moment the inmates of the booth swarmed
out-all save one; and so the fight began.
1t must have been somewhat thus that the
row began to-day. One moment there was
good humor and quiet; little bustling, per-.
haps an occasional cheer or an intermittent
boo" and the next a tossing sea of heads,
surmounted by q sort Of surge of shillelahs.

ease through air and water. This is point
in its favor. The whole machine is $50 feet
long. III its widest part it is 4S feet. 1t has

feature is its propelling power. This consists
of separate engines of IL horse power each,

square feet is attached, to save the air truv

suburban general store?" When the usual
economical man whose taste does not run to
the plow, the rather gentle and unambitious
gentleman, with the pretty blond wife and a
new bal.y every year, looks around in a
quiet spot to see what he can bring into the
village for a little capital to sell at moderate
profit, he sees the limits of any special article
except whisky, and be goes in for everything.
OF course he has school books, some of them
rather out of date, but still full of questions
and answers and figures and facts, Toys he
must have and here and there you will find
the transparent slate, the brilliant top, the
puzzle of last century, the old, old figures
that we-if you are old enough to be in-
cluded-were brought up to consider the
height of ingenuity, the acme of entertain
ment You will find candies in bottles,
made on old principles, and healthy to eat if
pasty to look at. There may be flies in the
bottles, but with ingenious youth they pass
for currants, and once in a while the store
keeper comes across drummer who sells
him lot of old faded fancy paper boxes
from dead Christmas times and birthdays OF
the past, and breaks up the village with the

The season is now at hand when the pioneer
9S years of age gets up early III the morning,
ightens his belt by two notches, and walks
into the harvest field to show the boys how it
used to be done in olden times After gazing
for a few minutes with contempt at the
reaper and binder, he picks up his old fash
ioned cradle and sails in to cut seven acres
before sundown. Seven acres is his hghtest

average about nine, an he won't sweat hair
until afternoon. 1t will be all that three
binders can do to keep up with him, and now
and then hell stop to turn q back handspring
and lay some young fellow on the broad of
his back. e#s s rsfa faigg
When the old pioneer has finished his nine
acres he comes up smiling, leads the crowd to
supper, and then challenges the best man to
boxing match or foot face.
He appears regularly every harvest, and
this will be no exception. He is never less
than so, and seldom over 9S, and the state
ment always follows that he has shaken
hands with every president since Washington,
