A Mean Revenge.

The man knocked at the door of a
boarding house on Cass avenue and the
landlady opened it.
Il presume you are the landladyp" he
said, after saying good morning"
"Why do you presume that?" she
asked with snap, for the visitor looked
as if he might be some kind of an agent,
says the Detroit Free Press.
"a friend of mine, Mr.. Smith, who
used to board here, told me I'd recog-
nize you as lady about So"
She fairly gasped at this.
"Did he tell you that?" she inquired,
with suppressed emotion.
HE did. madam"
"And you recognized me by that de-
scriptionP"
The visitor knew something about
discretion being the better part of
valor, having been an agent for a long
time.
II did not, madam" he responded.
"It's good thing you didn't" she
said. "When l bounced that fellow
Smith for not paying his bill for three
months he told me he would get even
with me and this is how he is doing it. "
Then she bounced the visitor.

Fight for Life with a shark.

Milton Shane is a resident of Pablo,
and, according to his daily custom, was
swimming around the other day outside
of the surf. He was about 600 yards
from the beach and was floating on his
back, when suddenly he was attacked
by shark.
Owing to the difficulty which shark
has in seizing upon movable body the
young man, by observation-disclosures and
bravery, was able in some degree to
eyade the monsters attacks but not all
together. as at every dash of the fish
part of the unfortunate swimmers flesh
was torn away.
But it was struggle for very life
and finally the young man reached shall
low water and then the beach, almost ex-
hausted from exertion and loss of blood.
1t was found upon examination that
his thigh bore no less than twenty-six
wounds made by the sharks teeth,
which, owing to their peculiar formation.
tore away the flesh at every incision.-

ago, will open April 9, with Rev. ]. B.
Anderson as cashier and T. n. Stockton,
of jacksonville, as president. It IS
rumored that branch will be established

a large amount of money, as the immense
cigar factories of Tampa are located in
that portion of the city.
While the tourist season is rapidly clos
ing, the people are confident of o good
financial summer, and it is thought that
the stringency is past, in that while we
have had only one bank we will now have
three, and IL will naturally tighten up the
pressure. 1t is rumOred that over 500 600

First National Bank.

Tallahassee, Fla, April 4.-Col. Geo. H.

assistant, are at the capital. They have
been operating in South Florida during

One of ,Tallahassee's most sagacious
politicians was to day seen walking down
the main street arm in arm with one of
his constituents from the country, and
the politician was "toting'' large cab
baee which his country friend had pur-
chased This little incident would seem
to Indicate that politics are warming up
in old Leon, and the man who "toted" the
cabbage always carries his point.
There is more building going on in
Tallahassee than there has been at any
time during the past two years, and the
buildings are all good and substantial.
The bird record kept at the Leon this
season shows that the guests of the hotel
killed 3.9l2 quail, ,044 snipe, PCS ducks,

Monticello, Quincy and Tallahassee unite
in celebrating the occasion.

When Just over it the twig turned so
quickly as to snap, breaking near her
fingers. She repeated the trial several
times. and her indications were always
accurate. One more illustration may be
given of the divining power of Lady Mil
banke A few years after her correspon-
dence with DIR. Hutton, she went, at his
request, TO see him at WoOlwich. where
she showed him the experiment, and di-
yined spring in a field which he had
lately bought near the new college then
building. This same field he afterward
sold to the college, and got a large price
for it, in consequence of the spring of
water.
MODERN woNDEB-wORKER.
The subject of the divining rod has
again been prominently brought before
public attention in the North of England
by the presence of one William Stone
belonging to Northamptonshire, who is
well known in the south as a finder of
springs. Mr.. Stone is in possession Of
numerous testimonials as to his myste-
rious gift. In his own Jook on the sub
iect he says; Hardly anything has
caused more disappointment and loss to
owners of property and others than bor-
ing for water supplies without success.
1t is, therefore, desirable that il should
be known that by use OF the divining rod
or dowSing twig, IN the hands of
Mr. Stone, the location of springs
and the direction of their currents can
be ascertained, and the precise spot for
boring indicated, The mode of operation
is as follows The diviniug rod is V
SHAPED twig of hazel, or some such wood.
This is held by the two ends. one in each
hand, the point toward the ground.
When nearing a spring, the twig will
commence to vibrate, and upon MIR. Stone
standing exactly upon the site Of a strong
spring it will turn over and over until it
breaks in his grasp. Mr.. Stone can give
no explanation of the power he possesses,
and the cause of the phenomena must be
left to scientists to decide but this he
declares most emphatically he is
able in the manner stated to find any
springs of water that may exist"
Mr.. Stone has evidently gained the
confidence of some highly respecta Bile
landowners in Northumberland Mr..
Stone always carries about him one or
two rods ready for use, in ase he cannot
find the particular kind of wood wanted
near the spot where he has to operate:
yet he prefers to cut twig on the ground,
in preference to the hazel twigs he may
have with him; for when the twig has be-
come dry, it is apt to snap OFF when using
it, whereas the twig full of sap will not
break so easily

The Collins Sent to Prison for Looting an
indianapolis Bank.
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, June 81. A.
Coffin, 2. B. Coffin and Albert s. Reed,
the convicted bank looters, were ar
raigned in the federal court here Mon
day for sentence. The defense, led
by ex-Attorney General Miller, made a
desperate effort to secure a new trial,
but failed. Francis Coffin got ten years
and Percival Coffin five years, while
Reed, who was merely tool of the
Cof1ns, was released on suspended SEN
tence, mercy being shown in his case.
The three men are accused as officers
of the Indianapolis Cabinet company,
with aiding Theo P. Haughey in
wrecking the indianapolis national
bank, of which the latter was presi-
dent. The ambitious young Collins
gained the confidence of the aged bank
president and secured vast sums of
money from him on fictitious values.
