CATCHING A SHARK.
A Monster Is Feet Long Pulled on
Deck-Its Thirteen SharkletS.

''On d recent trip" said Pittsburg
travelling man, that l made to Central
America, the crew and passengers had
quite an experience with a shark, says
the Pittsburg Leader. We were on
board the Andes, one of the Atlas line
of steamers. She broke some impOr-
tant part of her machinery and was
entirely unseaworthy. 1t required
twenty-four hours to put ner in Condi-
ton to proceed on our way The &C
cident happened before daybreak,
when we were within two days of New
York. During all that time we were
floating about the ocean, and FORUM
ately for us the ocean was perfectly
calm. When the first daylight came
we discovered that we were completely
surrounded by sharks. Some one sug-
gested that we catch a shark.
The idea was no more than Matched
before the captain, who was a young
man making his first trip took the
matter up and proceeded to work.
He secured a large hook, attached it to
the end of several pile of telegraph
wire, and then fastened it to the end OF
rope, leaving about five feet of wire
to prevent the shark from biting it off
On the hook he dropped his line. 1t
had barely struck the water when he
got a bite. The captain made a des-
perate jerk. So did the shark, and
the hook was bent perfectly straight.
A number of such attempts were made,
but each time with the same result.
An old tar who had been a witness to
the attempts to hook the monster pro-
duced am old-fashioned half-round
steel file, and proceeded to make a
hook that he said would hold. After
quite long wait the hook was finished
and attached to the line, but before 60
ing any further the old sailor gave in
structions as to how he wanted the
work done. He made a loop on the
end of another rope, passed the hook
and line through the loop, and the lat
ter was held on deck. The hook was
baited and thrown into the water, and
in an instant a mighty rush Of sharks
was made to get the bacon. The
crowd of sailors pulled ON the rope
and fastened the hook in the upper
jaw of what proved to be a fifteen-foot
shark. The old tar yelled Drop youl
! loop 1t dropped down the line and
passed over the sharks head, when il
was frightened up.
Then began the most desperate
struggle ever saw for freedom. L
took all on board to pull the marine
monster on deck. After much time

INCOME TAX DEMANDED.
Knights of Labor Adopt Resolutions
to That Effect.

Rochester, N. Y, Nov. 13.--The
general assembly of Knights of Labor
yesterday adopted a resolution declar-
ing for the enactment of a graduated
income tax law. Failing to procure
this at the hands of the next congress,
it is the declared intention of the
Knights to use all their influence to
have demand for such a tax incoTpo-
rated into the platform of one of the
great political parties and if they fail
in that there will, in all probability,
be an effort made to set up a new
party. Resolutions have been offered
to the distributing committee I'M favor
of the initiative and referendum, OPP
posing the issue of national bank
notes and declaring that all money
should be issued exclusively by the
national government.
The election of officers will probably
not come up until next week. The
present general master workman,
James r. Sovereign, and T. B. Ma
guire, a member of the executive
board are the leading candidates for
Office of grand master workman.

ELEGANT FALL JACKET.

The recent decrease in the size of
dress sleeves, which will no doubt be-
come more pronounced as the season
advances, makes it possible to wear a
Jacket now with some degree of COM
fort. So the manufacturers are turn
ing out more jackets than capes for
fall wraps. One of the pretty new
models is built of army blue cloth, with
lining of white silk The pointed
revers and collar are faced with white
broadcloth outlined with a tiny thread
of gold. 1t fastens across the front
with a single strap of white cloth. All
the seams are braided in a narrow fiat
white braid.
This Jacket looks particularly fetch
ing with a tailor-made gown of white
alapaca or poplin. Another jacket
made after this style is built Of dull
red broadcloth with white revers and
collar.

BRUTAL PARENT.

''No, Augustus" wrote kind and
indulgent parent to his son at college,
Il cannot grant your request. I nave
already cashed your drafts for the
breech-loading shotgun, the Indian
clubs, the $500 racing shell, the dumb
bells, the bicycle, the sailing yacht,
boxing gloves, sandbags, fencing foils
and the silver-mounted revolver. But
I cannot pay for the gambling imple-
ments which you suggest. l draw the
line at faro chips. Texas Siftings.
Jackets are so pretty that they are
robbed OF their terror for trim figures
Women who are fastidiOus about pre-
serving their waist line can wear a
jacket of this kind without losing the
waist, which was taken away from
them SO completely by the Ioose-front-
ed coat. All the new shades of taffta
are used for waist lining and lapels.

CAUSES FOR THANKS

For old things as good as gold,
We should be glad a thousandfold;
For new things new that time makes
true,
Our psalms of praise to God are due;
For better ways of finer days,
An endless song of thanks we raise:
For love and peace and truths in
crease,
For length of life and its release,
For past so bold in Joy unrolled,
For future hopes, cur thanks are told;
AS sings the bird its happy word,
So are our hearts to music stirred!

ENDS IN A SQUABBLE.
Hot Football Contest Between Mis-
souri, and Iowa Universities.

Columbia, Mo-, Nov. 10.-The foot
ball contest here yesterday between
the teams Of the Missouri and Ioy
universities was marred by a greas
deal of wrangling and ill-feeling and
finally declared forfeited to Iowa by
a score of II to 0. The presence of
the colored man, Holbrook, who played
half-back for Iowa, was the first dis
turbing element, causing considerable
feeling on the side lines. After the
first half Iowa made two touchdowns
and kicked two goals, scoring u, while
Missouri failed to score. II the sec
ord half Hill, for Missouri took the
ball on a tumble and carried it 35
yards, but the umpire ruled that
down" had been called before Hill
took the ball and ordered it to be re-
turned. Missouri refused to acquiesce
to the decision and the game was de-
clared forfeited.

TO THE PACIFIC.

The progress of the Russian govern
ment in Asia, undisturbed by Euro
pean complications and quarrels, says
the Chicago Times-Herald, goes quietly
on and is only indicated by occasional
reports from Pekin. The last OF these
is to the effect that China has agreed to
allow Russia the privilege of bringing
| the trans-Siberian railway directly
through Chinese Manchuria. This
does not give Russia the much desired
winter port for terminal; by itself
the concession merely shortens the
route Of the greatest military highway
in the world. But it is a long step to-
ward the object on which Russian
diplomacy has been bent and for
which Lebanon was ready at one time
to declare war on Japan. Vladivos-
| took, which is set down on the maps
as the tentative eastern terminal, is
impossible from its climate. In
doubtedly, as an English critic points
out, Russia is working on the lines of
least resistance to bring her road down
to Port Lazaroff on the east coast Of
Corea. This undertaking completed,
she will be as absolutely the mistress
of northern and central Asia as Eng
land is of southern, with almost meal
culable possibilities for the domination
of the orient
The Pekin Telegram makes more i'm
portant the position of the new Japan
csc minister of foreign affairs, Count
Okuma. This statesman is reported
to have said in a speech delivered a
few weeks ago that he would have
risked war with Russia rather than
give up the territory that had "cost
Japan the blood of thousands of brave
men and two hundred millions of dol
/ lars ''Risks must be faced boldly"
he went on. Look at Lord Give and
Warren Hastings in India" He de-
clared for vigorous foreign policy and
Hereby denounced Marquis Ito for
yielding to the trivial intervention"
Of foreign powers.
AS this same trivial intervention"
was nothing less than a downright
threat that if Japan failed to surrender
the LiaO-Tung peninsula she would
have to face a war with Russia and
possibly with Germany and France as
well, Count C1-uma must be reckoned
a man Of courage. We have too often
seen how q jingO in opposition may be
a quaker in Office; but the exaltation
Of the war with China produced fine
crop of desperate tbig Japanners," and
on them Count Okuma could rely for
support in a spirited resistance to Rus
sian aggressions, which, as anyone in
the least gifted with prophecy must
see, are destined to be fatal to Japan's
independence
On the other hand, Russia is deter
mined to bind Asia with the rails of
that most marvellous Of military rail-
ways, and no fear of rupture with
Japan will deter her government from
carrying out the uneXampled project
Here again we see the irresistible on
ward sweep of the empire. Engaged
in European wrangle of appalling
dimensions, Russia continues her Ash
9tic operations as calmly as if all were
quiet in Constantinople and the most
vigorous holding in London and Ber-
lin we're not required to keep the war
dogs on the leash. Napoleon's proph-
ecy that all Europe would be repub-
lican or Russian before the end of the
century might have included Asia as
well.

Will Raise More Hogs.

The Crowley Signal of last week
under the above caption, refers to the
fact that good many of the farmers
of Louisiana are now buying few
hogs, with the idea of giving some at.
tention to this business in the future,
This is exactly the line of action that
the Southern Farmer has recently
been advocating, and we believe, as
we have already said, there is no in
dustry into which the farmers and
planters of Louisiana can now so
readily engage and which promises
such profitable results as the produc-
ton Of hogs for sale.
In Western Louisiana Mr.. P. S. Lo.
veil, who has been giving considera-
BILE attention to Poland China hogs,
and who advertises them for sale in
this journal, has found that rice is ex-
cellent feed for hogs, and several car
loads of rice-fattened hogs that he
shipped to New Orleans brought the
top of the market. The buyer stated,
in fact, that the pork from the rice
fed hogs was winter than from corn
fed and equally firm. If the vast
amount of common rice produced in
Western Louisiana. which was mark
eted last year at prices scarcely more
than paying the freights and commits
sions, hs d been fed to hogs, the results
would have been incomparably better
for the rice producers.
The Signal says that Mr.. P. S.Lov-
ell has disposed of large number of
young sows during the past two or
three months, and has still some FIVE
hundred head of hogs on his farm;
that he has been shipping in various
directions and during the past few
days to Bay St. Louis, Opelousas and
Jeanerette. The hog crop is the COM
ing crop for Louisiana.
