continue till December o. Today the firm
frightened its grip on popular esteem by
making the populace laugh with a free
monkey show, and by distributing tickets
to all corners which if presented on one of
the opening days will entitle the holder to
a box of candy. The monkey show was a
hit. Throngs of people, both young and old
watched the antics of the animals and
laughed heartily. Inside the store the
crowd was very large. The shelves and
tables were burdened with all the delicacies

But the Yale Advocates Say Nothing
of the Playing I'm New York.


NEW HAVEN. Dec 2-The Register
prints a long leader on the Thanksgiving
day game between Yale and Princeton.
1t says these colleges are not natural an
tagonists. and that there is no natural
affinity between them. though Yale is by
no means lacking in respect for its New
Jersey contemporary. The New York game,
1t says. has nothing of the university at
mosphere, and Is practically a colossal ex-
hibition game run on business principles
Since the only excuse for its existence is
that II is an intercollegiate institution, its
failure to retain its individuality is a good
reason for giving II up. The opposition TO
the Thanksgiving game has been growing
slowly, but It has been growing steadily
Since the Thanksgiving game does not
possess the qualities that make the SPRING
field game contest OF colleges In the
presence Of their respective families, there
is good reason for giving 1t up and substi-
tuting game at Cambridge, a return game
at New Haven and a possible third game
at Springfield. The Register is stanch
supporter OF Yale athletics and Yale mat
tiers generally

what they term the discourtesy of Capt
Picking of the Charleston.
1t is almost impossible to hold commune

Picking, they complain, seems to them tc
think they do not need the protection of his

GOING TO FIX HIM.
Minneapolis, Mimi, May l.

"A Boys Inquiring Mind Grasps a
Broad Assertion as a Fact.
Detroit Free Press.
Parents cannot be too careful how
they answer the apparently trivial ques-
tions of their children. 1t would al
most seem as if child's dictionary were
a necessity of the age. Here is an illus
tration:
Pa" said little chap to his father.
"what does man mean when he says,
'Fll fix you?' "
Means that he'll do him up" an
swered the father. briefly.
But, then, what does do him up
mean?"
Bother! You ask too many questions,
child. 1t means that he is going to kill
him.
The little fellow was slenced for the
time, but, as events proved. he thought
over the subject. Soon after he was
taken i'll, and, the family doctor being
absent, strange physician was sum
moned. Left alone with him for a few
moments. the little fellow began to ask
questions.
Going to cure ME, doctor?" he in
quired.
Yes, yes, my little man, said the
doctor, who was preparing dose, Pm
going to fix you"
What was the doctors surprise to see
a small, white-robed figure dart from
the bed and make bee line for the
door, through which he disappeared.
The astonished medical man followed
him and found him sobbing IN his
mothers arms. To her he was relating
his fears that the doctor intended to
"fiX" him in the sense that MS father
had defined the word to him few
weeks before.

shoot over. The dead horse was
nol sted overheard and anchored about
eight yards below the lightship, and the
lugger stood about for home.
One Of the sailors went aloft and kept
a lookout from the lantern cage, while
we ranged ourselves along the breast
high bulwarks, rifle in hand, ready for
the first flight. We had not waited long
when the major said, "Now, bows, don't
shoot the decoys," and the doctor OBJ
served something about its being his
blind. This irrevelant conversation was
interru pied by There is one!" from
the lookout, and we saw a SWord-baded
Tin shO oting toward our boat at ten
knot speed, cutting a ripple on the
smoth surface of the water, and leaving
a wake that flashed in the sunlight. We
knew the game was there, but how to
hit it? In a moment we saw another fin,
and then another, until there were fully
a do zen in sight.
The great fish first circled around the
hOrSe as if to make sure that he could
not resist their attack, when we saw one
turn in the water and a portion of his
white belly show above the surface as
his saW-like teeth tugged at the great
chu nix of horse flesh. Crack went the
ma JOr'S express. and bright red circle
VIII ere the shark sank testified to the
accuracy of his aim. The other fish did
not notice the shot, but attacked the
h orse like pack Of ravenous wolves.
W hile we Shot at every spot of sh ark
that showed above the water, until we
had converted the turquois blue of the
Southern sea into sanguinary red.
While the sharks paid no attention to
the shooting they Sc emed infuriated with
the blood and bait led around the dead
horse until the water was lashed almost
into foam. L hey soon became so
numerous that it was almost impossible
to get shot at any particular one, and
we stopped firing and watched the fight
ing, Seething, bleeding mass. The
justice of the title, Tiger of the Deep"
was apparent to all now, as no more
feroclous and bloodthirsty creature in
habits either land or water than the
shark of the South seas.
When the battle was at it's height the
major led us to the fore deck of the lit
tie steamer, when we cast off from the
larger one and were soon among the
fighting leviathans, who apparently
took no heed Of our arrival, but con-
tinued to battle as viciously as before.
We steamed around and around the
horse, shooting every fish that ap-

the fight 1t Is doubtful if a single
shot killed any one of them. The crew
brought up some small harpoons and
fastened to three large sharks. which
were towed out of the battle and hauled
away to the town to be skinned. The
fish seemed to have exhausted their
fury after an hours struggle, and we
back to the wharf.
