ACURIOUs SEA MONSTER.

Old y of L. A. Creek thus describes
a curious sea monster caught by Put
johnson, at Hope Greek, that OILERS
who had fished from Maine to Florida
hid never met with or was able to
name. The animal was about five feet
long aud is shaped like a toad fish. Its
mouth contained two rows of ponder
Gus teeth and when iully ajar would
freely admit II Yankee bucket. On its
head were two dart shaped horns and
other strange attachments. On each
side and about midway from lis head
and tail were two pockets that could lie
opened at will and between these peck
cts and mouth we're two attachments
not unlike the forearm and hand of the
human family and arranged as to pass
the food from the pockets to the mouth.
When caught these pockets were well
stocked with mossbunkers and other
small fish,

AspY.GLAss FOR spEAK-EAsIEs.

There is CONSERVATION among the
quiet tipplers of Millville, N. j., where
no licensed liquor saloons abide, but
where Sunday speak-easies have long
hourisled and paid their way and more.
More than Il hundred of the liabitues
of the secreted bar-rooms have been
subpensed to appear before the Cum
berland county Grand Jury which sits
for the May term of Court in Bridge
ton, and tell what they know about the
Illicit sales of beer in Millville.
In certain sections of the city a per-
son can stand on a street corner, throw
a stone and hit half a dozen ''beer
clubs" speak easies and blind pigs.
All of them have been doing a thriving
business.
Tie temperance people a few weeks
ago secured IA Philadelphia detective
who went down to Millville and rep
resented that he was operating for an
old line life Insurance company of New
York. lie did not ..se many risks,
but wherever he went was 'awfully
dry, and as he seemed to be all right,
was soon introduced to nearly all the
beer places in the city. That he made
many acquaintance in his rounds the
large number of subpGnas verify.
The 100 men who are asked to tell
the Grand jury what they know about
beer selling in Millville includes all
classes. Three members of Council
are said to have been caught in the
net, several city officials, merchants,
clerks, nottingham, boys and hangers
on. There is some tall profanity float
ing around that city. .

ELopED WITH Love AND MONEY.

The elopemeDt of George X. Bowen,
"a young man we'll known in Elsinboro,
and the pretty young wife of Jacob
Hates, a well-known farmer OF Lower
Creek, has created something of a sen
sation in that region. Interest is add
ed to the sensation by the fact that
the aggrieved farmer accuse the elOp-
ers with taking Sl400 of his cash.
Bowen and Mrs. Hates met Mt a
party about three weeks ago, and it was
very apparent then that he was deeply
infatuated with the pretty young mat
ron. His attentions were encouraged
by Mrs. Hates, and day after day he
called Oh her as a friend Of the family.
The industrious husband never OPP
posed the visits until & few days ago,
when he was informed by his friends.
Hates shortly after forbid Bowen
coming to the house. This injunction
was, however, unheeded and Brown
kept up his visits, until one night last
week the irate husband put him out OF
the house. This SO enraged Mrs.
Hates that she and Brown elOped with
S1400 of the husbands money. Hates
is almost leart.brokeu. He is very
hopeful that she will repent her rash
act, and lie says he will cheerfully for
give her.

" Range Cattle Doomed.


 Joseph H. Moore, of Fort Worth, Tex, whose cattle interests exceed those of any man in the southwest, was among the guests at the Lick, where in conversation with reporter he said: You have heard great deal, no doubt, or did, a few years ago, at least, of the famous Cattle Kings of the west, who were supposed to reckon their wealth by the millions. The bus mess of raising cattle was conducted on grand scale, and at one time the profits were simply enormous This naturally attracted capital in large amounts, and wealthy men from all parts of the world rushed eagerly into the business of breeding and raising cat tie. The result was overproduction and 8 serious decline in prices.
 Three years ago it became evident to those who studied closely. the course of events that cattle raising would soon change from large herds on the range to small herds on the farm. Those who were shrewd enough to foresee this took prompt advantage of it, and today have before them the pleasant prospect of good prices and ready market. As a consequence, however, the days of the cowboy are numbered, and he is doomed to extinction just as certainly as was the buffalo and the Indian. The small farm is crowding them slowly but surely to the wall, and in @ few years they will be gone. San Francisco Call.

to tho second, and that his clocks strike regularly, though they strike once in a thousand years
 A learned man once asked an old Christian man who had no advantages of schooling why he believed there was a God, and the good old man, who probably had never heard an argument on the subject in all his life, made this noble reply: "Sir, have been here going hard upon fifty yeara Every day since have been in this world l see the sun rise in the east and set in the west. The north star stands where 1t did the first time l saw it; the seven stars and Jobs coffin keep on the same path in the sky and never turn out.

 And utter forth a glorious voice,
 Forever singing. as they shine,
