Saved by the Doctor.

VI learned more about sea serpents
some ten years ago than ever knew
before" announced the man who al
ways tells what kind of whisky he
wants when he has occasion to use the
article, says the Detroit Free Press.
II was not particularly busy that
summer, 80 party of us concluded to
make yachting cruise down the At
lantic coast, the main object being TO
do some fishing in Florida waters, Our
crowd was not only intelligent, but
jolly, and the way we stored in knowl-
edge while having fun was to be en-
yied. 1t was off Old Point Comfort
that we began to see sea serpents. 1t
was only few days before we came
upon them in all sizes, styles and col.
ors. Though they were not all one
brand, they had some things in COM
mon, such as flaming eyes, arched
necks and black fringed flippers.
"At first we made light of them, and
used to protest one to another that
there was nothing unusual in the sight.
But they grew more numerous, and
down about Cape Hatteras they we're
thicker than seagulls. They had bril-
liant colors like tropical birds of
plumage, and we did not sight one
that was not gliding toward US with an
open mouth like that of an alligator.
Something very like reign Of terror
was created abroad. We shot serpents
as fast as we could load. but they only
appeared to multiply in number as
well as fierceness. One evening we
were in despair and without hope till
the young doctor aboard induced US in
turn, assuring US that he would find o
way to disperse our horrible and relent.
less pursuers. For a day or two we
were all taking sedatives, but not an.
other serpent crossed our COURSE"
How did he do itp"

tual advance in year has been about
twenty five cents bushel, or $780,
100000.
There was also leftover Of last years
crop 100, 900, 900 bushels to share in the
enormous advance in price.
OF this years crop only $4,000, 900
have been sold thus far. All of it has
been sold at the advanced prices, and

1t was earlier in the year. with good
prospect of farther advance, the farm
ers are themselves holding no less than

they get but so cents bushel on the
average-and they are getting more
than that-the wheat now in their

anything. Europe can no more com.
