She Caught n Shark on a Hoofs.
TSeatfls Post Intelliaencer.l

A shark 10 feet long was caught on hook
by a young lady while fishing for halibut
from the deck of the steamship Queen, at
Killisnoo Banks, between Fort Wrangle and
Sitka, on the recent Alaska trip. The Queen
lay there at anchor for three hours to allow
the passengers an opportunity to engage in
the exciting sport of halibut fishing, and o
large number of highly elated fishermen with
large hooks and lines were landing one and
two large fish at haul when the young lady,
who Collector Mcdonald thinks was Miss f.
A. Sprague, of San Francisco, discov cred that
upon her line was the strongest and largest
fish of the season, but imagine her excite
ment when, by the help of gentleman, the
ugly. vicious-looking monster of the deep
was pulled to the surface of the water and
found to be shark.
The excitement of the large crowd was in
tense, but the plucky young lady did not
lose her nerve, and hung on to the line till a
rope in the form of lassO was securely
fastened around the sea-ighter's TAIL render
ing it helpless. 1t was then shot dead, and
by the efforts of several men hauled to the
lower deck.
1t measured 10 feet in length, and weighed
40 pounds. 1t was not of the man-eating
variety, there being none of that kind so far
north. 1t was more of stupid, sluggish,
ugly kind, which live on fish, and was prob
ably making havoc in the halibut banks.
Capt. Carroll before returning, had some
of the teeth of the sea monster removed and
preserved for the young lady, who probably
enjoys the distinction of being the only
woman who ever made such capture on the
Pacific Coast.

Western Cavaliers.
[Lippincotfs Naaasine.l

This supreme content with his condition
is an element of cowboy character that eolors
all his actions. His point of view is that OF
the man on horseback. He represents the
aristocracy of the plains; and while some
persons who follow their vocatiOns on foot
are even allowed under stress of eireum-
stances to become his employers, it is only
the sternest necessity that makes him dis.
mount. What the ship is to the sailor, the
pony is to the cOw-puncher-a term which
his American leyity prefers to cowboy or,
UaqWerO. One who sits in the saddle for
years becomes the antithesis of Anteus, who
gained strength by each contact with the
earth. The cowboy, in common with the
Spaniard and the Comanche Indian, is at q
disadvantage when he walks. Like Shelley's
skylark, he is "scorner of the gronnd."
The personality of horse and rider is in q
measure merged the one without the Other
is only part of the whole.
So the Texas anecdote is credible enough
1t relates that cowboy looking for work
was offered the employment OF digging
we'll. "Can do il on horseback ?" was the
query and covert stipulation. OF equal
credibility is Lieut.. Reyere's story anent
the provincial Governor in California This
official was careless enough to cross the
street without the aid of his horse. Falling,
he broke his leg on some obstruction. A
Chicago man would have sued somebody;
but the Governor discerned the real cause Of
the accident, exelaiming: This is what
comes of walking ON the ground"

RHODE L
A Sportswoman's Experience.

"For half an hour we waited, hearing
nothing but the vengeful wall of a hundred
or more musketoes that lowered anxiOusly
about, searching for bit of human territory
that was not deluged with tar oil. Although
still light enough on the lake, the woods
were fast growing dark, and Pop glanced at
the sky and gave a jerk of his head toward
the trail. AT that moment we heard quick
step and a cracking of brush in the thicket
opposite. The sound was repeated, dainty
muzzle pushed aside the branches, and the
deer, after scanning the lake, stepped grace
fully into view Shoot shoot = breathed
Pop, hastily, and 1 endeavored to raise my
rifle to my shoulder.
GOOD heavens! What allied me? A
mighty hammer beat in my wrists so that
they actually ierked; my heart rose in my
throat and choked me- red mist swan be-
fore my eyes; my mouth was parched. With
feeble and shaking hands 1 adjusted the rifle,
guessed at the sights, and fired! Echo
caught up the report and sent it Gathering
away among the hills, but by the time had
sufficiently recovered to throw another shell
into the chamber of my rifle the deer was far
away. Pop was shaking with laughter.
Too bad ! too bad !" he cried between his
shouts; %, if that WANT the prettiest case of
buck fever ever see.'0

Oldest Grand Army Man.

Comrade S. ID. Webster, Ransom Post, ST.
Louis writes: suppose it is in order to an
swer the inquiry propounded, as to what Post
has the Oldest member, which | find in the last
number of The NATIONAL TRIBUNE. And /
also suppose that il is the easiest thing in the
world to do, though it may not at first strike
you so.
j can't claim this distinction, though, for my
own Post. We have an interest in the matter
as shall show, but we are content to let our
sister Post, Blair, /. of the Department of Mis-
souri,, claim the comrade. Now for the facts:
In 1859, think it was, / had handed me,
as Adjutant of Ransom Post, TO be read at the
meeting, a request for some assistance toward
placing in the Old Folks Memorial Home the
writer and his wife. / was little startled by
the date named as the birthday of the writer,
and more by the facts set forth, but was assured
of their correctness. The note stated that the
writer was born Christmas Day, 1857 !;
served with old Jackson behind the cotton
bales at New Orleans; was engineer of the first
steamboat which landed at the City OF St.
Louis, and Of the second locomotive TO run out
OF it; that he was engineer Of vessels named
in the service on the Mississippi during the
war, and that he had for a long time been
running stationary engines in the city, but by
reason OF growing age people would not employ
him, and he wanted TO be helped toward a
permanent home as indicated. His name is
Wm. J. HaiDes.
Inside of five minutes after this letter had
been read, Ransom Post had put up the money
necessary. and had constituted its Commander
a committee to see that the old gentleman end
his wife were properly bestowed in the Home.
This was duly done, and the old comrsde is
there to-day. His good wife, however, left him
for the better land a few months ago.
The Commander in Chief happened to be
with Us on that evening, and can assure you Of
the incident But that did not give him to Ran
a comrade. We hadn't supposed that a
man then over hundred years old could wish
to become member of any Post and we took
no steps toward it. One Of the papers had
some mention Of the fact and il was noted by
comrade Of Blair, i suppose. and the old gen.
tlemsn spoken TO about joining the GA. X.
He assentee, the application was made, and he
was mustered as a comrade of that Post. On
Christmas Day, 1895, he will be loS years old,
and, ] think, may be considered the Oldest
comrade alive see him occasionally and he
always seems bright and cheerful, and looks no
older than many who are % years younger"
