Here is a very strange story from the
pen Of writer in the Journal OF American
Folk Lore. This writer says;
When stepped on the cat her limp and
her cries were so piteous 1 took her to

cream and ask Nanny TO care for her.
Did you trOd on dat cat? 1 certainly s.

Jesus was down here once, on this EARTH

so one day he was a-vpalking along,
ana ne come 10 poor old cullud wOman's

DoIIphon's Question of order.

We know nothing Of Mr.. John Doiiphon
OF Missouri further than that he was
member. Of the international arbitration
congress which met in Washington on
Wednesday last. It strikes. US. however.
that II the motion that Mr.. Doliphon made
10 the effect that the check Of Andrew
Carnegie for 500 20 help pay the expenses
Of the congress be refused. because he.
Doliphou. had heard that Mr.. Carnegie
"stinted" his employees. IS evidence Of Mr..
Doliphon's mental equipment. he is not
Mt member Of an arbitration congress OK
any other deliberative body.
What has .he question as 10 whether
Mr.. Carnegie stints his employees got to
do with the question Of international ar
bitration? Even II it were true that Mr..
Carnegie stints his employees il dosn't fol-
low that his money should not be used
for the expenses of a congress which has
no connection whatever with the wage
question. But is 1t a fact that Mr.. Car
negie stints his employees We don't know
whether it is or not. and Mr.. Doliphon
doesn't know. He stated when making
his motion that he didn't know but he
was willing to do Mr.. Carnegie an injury
without knowing whether he had any cause
for injuring him.
1t seems to us that If arbitration con-
crosses were made Of such men as Mr..
DoliphOn, its proceedings wouldn't COM
mand very much respect. 1t is crafty
ing to know that Mr.. Doliphon's motion
didn't meet with a favorable response in
the Washington arbitration congress. He
was "squelched" in short order and his
motion consigned to Oblivion. Men of Mr..
Doliphon's kind are not numerous in any
public assemblage. If they were the
wheels of progress would go backward,
instead of forward.

Catching sharks in Hawaii.

Lieut.. Coyne and some fifteen members
Of Company E started out on a steam
launch little after 10 a. m. Sunday for
the purpose of doing what they could
with a certain family of sharks reported
to have been seen outside the harbor,
says the Pacific Commercial Advertiser.
They stocked the launch well preparatory
to an all days hunt
just outside the harbor unmistakable
signs in the shape of several fins were
noticed projecting above the surface of
the water, and they made the soldiers
halr bristle with excitement. A hook,
ibaited with large piece of pork and
attached to heavy line, was thrown over
board. There was a bite and a pull and
before long goOd-sized shark was hauled
alongside and hlled with rifle and revolver
bullets Ihls was excitement enough,
but when, after the line had been thrown
over again, another shark was captured
in the same manner, the men in The
launch could hardly remain in their places.
The line was cast overheard once more,
and soon there was a tug that caused
a very burning sensation to pass over
Ine nandS OF the Tour men VINO held II.
The launch was pulled here and there by
what seemed to be a monster twice the
size IF the others. This seemed to be
proven when the shark stuck its fin above
water. At this seven or eight bullets
pierced the head of the monster, and,
after a hard fight, during which the
launch was in imminent danger of being
capsized, the prize was brought along
side and towed with the other two to
the Aloha boat house, where ii was found
to be IL feet inches from head to tip
of tail, and 5S12 inches around at its larg-
est part. The largest of the remaining
two measured feet inches.
Upon being cut open the large shark
proved to have a stomach exceptionally
void, which in some degree accounted for
the tug given the line. One of the small
Ter ones stomach was found to contain
two hats, one towel and half of the top
of a barrel, which one of the soldiers
construed as meaning that two native wo-
men had gone out in a canoe with a
key of beer, and had been met by the
shark, which had devoured one woman
the head of another, and tapped the key
in peculiar manner.

Honesty Rewarded.

A day or two ago. says the Boston Trav-
eler, a 15-year-old boy picked up a wal
let on Cambridge street, which upon be-
ing opened, was found to contain S126.
The boy was an honest lad, and having
counted the money. he waited where ne
had picked up the purse for the return
of the person who would claim ownership.
Very soon a middle-aged woman hurried
breathlessly down the street, and stop
ping before the boy demanded whether
or not he had seen anything of a pocket
book. The boy promptly turned over the
woman said: you're an honest boy. and
I'll repay you" The next morning the
lad called at the address which the wo-
man had given him. She opened the
door, and, perceiving who her caller was.
directed her steps toward the pantry, re
turned, and then she handed the young
man that form of pie popularity termed a
turnover"

The more or less black republic of San

the usual style of negro governed coun-
tries. The black president has had his
black secretary of war, and the tan-color-

shot before breakfast.

They did the work they were ordered to
do in short order. There was no necessity
for cooking breakfast for these two San
