bold relief against the black bowlder-
like head of the aggressor. Presently
the whale raised itself half out of the
water, and we plainly saw the awful
looking head of the gigantic mollusk.
At our distance, something under
mile, 1t appeared about the size Of one
of our largest oil casks, which held 1856
gallons. Like the rest of the calmar
visible, it was of peculiar dead white.
and in it cleaned two eyes Of inky
blackness, about foot in diameter.
To describe the wonderful contortions
of those two monsters, locked in
deadly embrace. Is far beyond my
powers, but 1T was a never-to-be-fo
gotten sight. The utter absence Of all
sound, for we were not near enough
to hear the turmoil of the troubled sea,
was not the least remarkable feature
of this titanic encounter. All around
the combatants, too, were either small
er whales or immense sharks, who were
evidently assisting in the destruction
Of the great squid, and getting a full
share of the feast. AS we looked spell
bound we saw the writings gradually
cease and the encircling tentacles grad
ually slipped off the whales body,
which seemed to float unusually high.
At last all was over, and the whole
commotion had completely subsidized.
leaving no trace behind but an intense
ly strong odor as of a rocky coast at
low tide in the full blaze of the sun.
Since that night I have never had a
doubt either as to the origin Of all sea
serpent stories or the authenticity of
the old Morse legends of the Kraken;
for who could blame a seaman Witness
ing such sight, and all unaccustomed
to the close observation of whales, for
reporting some fearsome monster with
horrent name and floating many a
rood -

FRIENDSHIP AMONG ANIMALS.
PiatOnic Feelings Have Been ExIlib-
tied Between the F1erccst Ones.

PiatOnfc Feelings Have Been ExIaib-
tied Between the Ffercest Ones.
1t is generally supposed that when
WIG animals OF different kinds meet
it is natural instinct for them to rush
at each other and fight till one of them
has fallen. But there are great many
cases where Platonic friendship exist
between the fiercest beasts. They
often do favors for one another in the
most friendly spirit
The most picturesque Of animal
friendships exists between the buffalo
and the f1amingo. This curious pair
have often been seen walking about
together, the famingo usually perched
comfortably on the buffalo's back.
The great test of any friendship is the
extent one will go to perform service
for friend. The good friendship ex-
listing between buffalo and fiamingo
bears such test very well. AS the
pair move about the flamingo care
fully cleans the buffalo's back and
matted hair, picking from it's pours
the tiny insects that annoy and pain
1t. Sometimes the bird unintention-
ally bites its companion, but the buff
falo never resents the accident.
There Is a curious breed Of birds in
the Island Of Java which reyular,v
pick the teeth of alligators. The teeth
OF an alligator are made to tear flesh,
and 1t often happens that their inter
stices become clogged up, annoying the
saurfan, and making 1t uncomfortable
for him in many ways, and fl equently
preventing him in a measure from
catching his prey or properly masti-
eating his food. So he lies in the sun
opens wide his great laws, While the
birds do the rest. They act also as
sentinels, heralding the approach Of a
foe by pecking vigorously at the an
imaPs tongue, upon which the alligator
closes his mouth and makes ror the
water, not unfrequently killing few
Of his tiny friends in his haste.

impatiently awaiting his trial. Last evening
he was seen and asked to narrate his wan
behring's since he so cleverly gave the slip to
the local detectives, Jan. 20, when they
south for spurious money. Seemingly he felt
the impress of the iron hand of fate. He
conversed from the corridor of the third tier
of cells. The spot a significant and not
uneventful one. Less than one year ago the
murderer of Kitty Cling had from that place
hurled forth his curses upon his brother or
flippantly protested his innocence to members
of the press. Vail felt the gravity of his po-
sition. He realized that he stood on memoir
able ground where criminal history had been
made, and trembed in anticipation of JUS
tice as melted out through a brief glance Of
the past.
There is nothing in his appearance to ind
cate that he is Of more than average attain
ments. Those who have seen his picture have
a fairly correct idea of his facial looks. In
stature he is of the average height, but Of
slender build. He gave his weight at 120
pounds and stated he had lost over twenty
pounds in flesh since his disappearance from
the city. He is an easy, fluent talker. The
one characteristic is his eyes. brief glance
at those organs gives an idea of his notable
characteristic. They indicate great cunning.
Nothing escapes them. Ever alert and watch
full, he is conscious of all moves about him.
But there is withal hunted expression. He
confesseS its presence by the statement that
he has not spent one quiet night since his
escape from Minneapolis.
Il have consecrated myself to God, :" said
he at the outset land am now confidently re-
lying on His strength. That explains my
position. l would go to prison tomorrow for
twenty years If by doing so l could blot out
my past. Only to rid myself Of it. That Is
my all-consuming DESIRE" That was the ex-
tent of his statement until he finally grew
more laxative and told the story of his
wanderings.

which may be in a few weeks at some
city convenient to all members"
George F. Washburn, of Massachu-
sets, member of the Populist national
executive committee, stated tonight,
when asked If Massachusetts would be
carried by the free silverites:
Il think majority of our citizens
are for the white metal. I cannot, how
ever, estimate what the vote for Bryan
at the coming election will aggregate.
When G. F. Williams returned from
the Chicago convention, where he waa
the only Massachusetts delegate to adj
vocate free silver there was a demon
stratiOn in his honor that the Boston
Globe declared to have been the great
est ever seen in the state Williams
will be the candidate for governor on
the free silver ticket, and while Mas
sachusetts has never been carried by
the Democrats in a presidential year,
we think he stands a good show for
election. Candidates for congress will
also be put up in each district, but the
greatest fight will be for Bryan"

A WAR STORY.
Valor of This Kind Was Quite Pre-
VaIent SIS Years Ago.

The talk about jingoism and war re-
history" remarked the man with the
heavy mustache. 1T is a legend not
handed down in the family, but 1 be-
lieve it is true just the same, and the
neighbors all declare such is the case
During the late aunbleasantness my
father and his two brothers lived in a
little town in New York. They had
more discretion than patriotism, and
refused to take the hint and enlist
when volunteers were in demand In
due time all three Of them were drafted,
and they went along together to the
county seat to show cause why they
should not earn $13 q month as soldiers
Fortunately for my father, he had
sprained his ankle some time before.
He swathed the injured member in cot
ton, poured on enough Ointment to make
him smell like a drug store and boldly
approached the recruiting officer. He
made such a good case and told such a
story that he was discharged, and in
his citation he forgot to use, as he
walked away, the clutches with which
he had hobbled into the office
My uncle Jimmy was next called.
He claimed to be suffering from ph-
thisis, asthma, bronchitis and consump-
ton, and it was pitiful to hear him
breathe. He had to rest after each sent
ence. and he puffed and blowed worse
than q freight engine on an up grade
His scheme was somewhat transparent,
and 1t cost him $3.50 to hire substitute.

was really hard Of hearing, and he ex-

DOGS IN WAR.
Their Value and Training Displayed
in Modern Warfare.

in Modern Warfare
In days of antiquity dogs fought by
their masters sides, guarded the
camps, watched the outposts and act
ed as messengers.
In our own times the training Of
these animals is an important branch
of military tactics. Scotch sheep dogs.
poodles. terriers. gray Pomeranians
and Scotch collies are among the
breeds most teachable and trust
worthy, says the New York Recorder.
The training includes teaching the
dog to recognize the uniform of all
probable opponents and to warn his
master by pointing-never by barking
except in dire necessity. Dogs of a
dark color are preferred. because they
are less visible to the enemy. The
training is pursued on the general
principle that the enemy would treat
the dog cruelty, SO that soldiers dis
guised in the enemy's uniforms tease
the animals. while others clad in the
uniform of the army pet and feed
them. The dog is also taught to carry
written messages from outposts to
camp. For such duty it wears light
collar, with the number Of its regi-
ment and a small pouch to carry dis
patches.
Perhaps the easiest thing for the
dog to learn is ambulance work. where
they are invaluable in finding wound
ed men in hidden places, after which
they stand by the person found and
bark loudly until help comes. About
the dogs neck Is also carried flask
containing refreshing drink and am
pie material for a temporary dressing
of wounds, should the injured man
have sufficient strength to use them
The education of the animals begins
at six months of age, and. once their
fear Of the sound Of firearms and can
non is overcome. they will stick to
their post more firmly and unconcern-
eddy than many young soldiers.

that he could be made to hear, and
then he could not understand
The recruiting officer was suspicious.
especially as he had caught one mem
Der OF the trio in a deception, and was
doubtful about the justice Of having
released my father from service. He
quietly ordered an attendant to have
cannon in the courthouse yard dis
charged. Suddenly the cannon doomed.
Uncle Peter was looking for some
trick, and he never jumped or betrayed
by his manner that anything had oc-
CURED.
Did you hear that cannon? inquir-
ed the recruiting officer in voice a
little louder than he would usually
speak.
Uncle Peter was looking for some
such trick, and he loudly yelled, No.
Poor Uncle Pete! He was unable to
raise the money needed to hire a sub
stltute, and he was compelled to don
the uniform and march away. How
ever, his fate was not so hard. He
lost a leg at Gettysburg, and now
draws pension that enables him to
look on his two brothers with scorn.
Besides, he is able to tell war stories,
and that is an accomplishment that
gives its possessor lots of satisfaction. !"
