WHO SAW IT ARE ALL KNOWN
For VERACITY.

About this time the sea serpent f~anciers
of the Atlantic coast conceived it to be
their duty to see something. Accordingly
the lynx eyed fishermen Of Nova Scotia de-
serted a sea serpent heading for Maine wa
tiers. The able journalists Of the Pine Tree
State quickly caught the cue, and the Lew
iston journal bore this testimony:
1.-THE crews of eight fishing vessels when
off Indique, N. S., the other day had a fair
and square look at close range at hissnake-
ship, and their testimony will go far to es-
tablish the long disputed fact Of his exist
ence. They describe him as from 12O to $50
feet long. The head was as large as d cask.'
The monster passed under one of the vessels
and was so near all of them they could see
his f~lippers. He was swimming about six
miles an hour. There is small chance for
the seaweed or marine algD theory in this
instance. Many scientific men have argued
that the supposed sea serpents described
now and then by mariners were simply huge
weeds floating on the ocean and given a
snakclike motion by the force of the waves"
1t will be observed that in all the cases
cited the length of the ophidian has been
variously and indefinitely estimated by
different observers. That is where they diff
fer from the stories of the marine monster
that is said to haunt the waters of Michi-
gogue lake, Ontaria. He has been seen by
several residents on the shores of the lake
within the past few weeks, and all wit

be realized that Attorney Beeman felt n
powerful tug on his line. He let out about

catch. But the fish wouldn't CHECK" He
pulled cut all the line and started for deep
water with the boat. The line was made
fast, and the fish gave them II free ride for
half an hoCr. Finally all became quiet.
Then Becman, assisted by Nosmin, began
to pull in their prize. The fish came in
sluggishly, showing no resistance until
within 10 feet of the boat, when he sudden
" rose to the surface, whirled around and
darted off. As he turned he struck the
rear end of the boat with his tail, smash
ing the stern into a thousand pieces aud
precipitating Beennn and Nosmin, who
were standing in tie rear end of the boat,
Into the water, whence they were rescued
with considerable difficulty.
All hands agreed that the animal was 30
feet long and 3 feet thick. Its head was
huge and pointed, It's color greenish black,
and IL was devoid of any visible fins. The
story winds up with the significant sug-
gestion that 'bathing in the lake will be

THE ~FIsHERMEN's SEA SERPENT.
end of the summer, with only half q dozen
we'll authenticated instances where marine
saurians have appeared to the startled Wis
ion of man.
What is the secret of this singular reti-
cence? 1t is possible that the sea serpent may
have heard of the Worlds fair ind disdains
to rear his head in rivalry to the wonderful
collection Of curiosities displayed at Chi
cago. There be those, however, who scout
this theory and venture the sage sugges-
ton that sea serpents are being boarded at
Wall street for the purpose of cornering
the supply and forcing q reduction in
the prices of summer board. This hypoth-
esis, too, savors of improbability and fails
to furnish a satisfactory solution Of the
mystery.
Pending the settlement of this question,
let us review the seasons "hauI' OF sea
serpents. One Of the first alarms came
from Cape Cod, the old time haunt of the
%saurian. The Boston papers gave very
sensational and circumstantial accounts Of
the capture and slaughter of a 80 foot ophi-
dian at Provincetown But unfortunately,
after we had been RECALLED with q thrilling
story Of the death struggles Of the monster
and an interesting description of its dimen-
sions and appearance, the whole story was
pronounced fake.
This unfortunate occurrence at the open
ing of the season served to impair confi-
dence and placed a dangerous weapon in
the hands of the %scoffers and skeptics. 1t
was therefore with a decided sniff of sus-
picion that the public read, a few days lat
ter, Captain Brinkerhoff's description Of
the uncanny manifestation in the waters
Of Lake Michigan. The captain is sta
Toned at Fort Sheridan, and one day while
he was strolling on the beach in company
with Lieutenant Blauvclt he beheld an APP
palling apparition. An enormous serpent
with the head of an alligator suddenly
doomed up out of the water, and after gaz-
ing tiXeuly at them for the space of two
minutes turned tail and swan out into the
lake. Captain Brinkerhoff examined the
monster critically through his glass and
afterward described it with great particu-
larity to his messmates HISTORY received
scant credit, however, and there were sun
dry base i~nsinuations that the captains
glass was of supermasnifying power.
Cedar Bass lake, an Indiana summer re-
sort. next came to the front. 1t is alleged
that as long ago rs 1881 August White, a
farmer, while SEEMING caught some sort of
a monster in his drag that Immediately
tore IL hole through the same and escaped.
Two years ago q rowboat was capsized of
Cedar point by being struck by something
swimming very fast near the surface. Last
summer the little pleasure steamer City OF
Kokomo was pulled several feet by some
thing becoming entangled in her anchor
line.

nesses agree that he is exactly 100 feet in
length to an ell, although what method of
measurement has been applied to his snake
ship does not appear. For evidence of the
existence of a sea serpent in Michigogue
lake, we have this dispatch sent out by the
press correspondent at Kingston:
Mr.. Bnbcock and his wife We're rowing
on the lake at night, when they heard a
noise resembling a yacht letting off steam.
They say they beheld a serpent standing
out of the water seven feet, with a body as
big as that Of an ordinary man and a head
like a snakes. They became alarmed and
struck for the shore, with the serpent fol-
lowing after them, SO they allege, at q lively
pace.
David Weese of the same district says
that recently he heard a Kissing noise and
saw the monster heading for his boat. 1t
was, he AYERS, exactly eight feet out of the
water, and after he had landed it stood out
from the shore and glared at him. He dc
cided that he would shoot it, but On second
consideration reasoned that if he wounded
the serpent it might follow him on land and
spoil the story.
ION another occasion he was shooting on
the same lake and saw the creature again
with it's body out of the water. 1t was a
long distance away, but he says he managed
to put a bullet in it's throat. 1t made q
fearful noise in the water, he says, and dis
appeared, and has not been seen since"
The antiquity of the sea serpent delusioI
is revealed by various old prints, such as
that in CLAUS Magnus' History of the
Northern Nations" which shows a marine
monster in tho very act of masticating q
mariner. And that the delusion is no.
without some foundation in fact all must
admit. There are various water animals
like the sea snake, which has a ilattenel
tail and sometimes attains the length of
or 10 feet, which when seen under circulm
stances of sudden terror and confusion ma
very readily be exaggerated into monsters
of enormous size by the excited imagination

Women Frlsnsls.

Men are very apt TO sneor and com
ment unfavorably upon the genuine
moss of women friendships They
scoff at the idos of union between
two feminines that is not besmirchod
by jealousy and envy. They cannot
seem 10 realize that enduring friond-
ship can and does exist in the heart Of
ono woman for another. Damon and
Pythias were all right, of course.
They were men, and in their mental
makeup there was no desire TO outdo
the other, but modern IMAM, in his
know-it-all style Of jumping 70 con-
clusiens, declares that the question OF
dress, II nothing else, would forever
preclude tho possibility of two women
remaining friendly for more than =
year at the outside.
This Is false and lowering oet-
mate of wemaR's nature, rs there are
many who can testify to enduring
compaots bsgun in youth and laAting
through all tho years up to the period
of old age. All tho mobility and
staunch reliance that cements friend
ship is not centered in the masculine
composition. There are many women
SO constituted that sentiment involv'
ing any moro than friendship is be-
yond them, and there are again many
more who can be the truest wives and
mothers and the most loyal friends as
well.
The true woman friend Is the dear
est of all created beings, whether she
