JOE DowNEY's SEA SERPENT.

was, Tor never saw any animal like 10 be-
fore-glidiRg through the water. 1t was
some kind of an animal, and big one at
that Oh, there is II, fake about it! 1t
was about so feet long, and the head ind
neck were black and-out of the water most
q the time, though 1t would disappear at
times and then coTEe back again. dis
like to talk about it because all the papers
trent 1t as big fake.
Yes" srid Mrs. Downey, "the papers
think.they have the joke On us, but we
know that we have the joke on them.
That animal will be heard from again"
"We watched it for 60 minutes or half
an hour, when it became too dark to see it
any longer" continued Mr.. Dswney.
"The last heard Of it was n splash of it's
tail, which made me think that storm
was coming up.
"The lake was as smooth MS glass until
that animal came along, and, although it
was 800 feet away, the waves came in IS
inches high whenever he'd make quick
move. He was continually diving and
rehppearing.
lone unusual thing that / noticed par
tioularly was that the water close to shore
was akve with schools Of large fish, some
thing which never has happened before.
They must hays been scared in from the
deeper water by this monster. Another
thing that think is strange is the disap-
psarance of the carcass Of a large mastiff
which was lying on the beach Thursday
night. Tho next morning it was gone.
The sand was all scratched up, but this
could not have been done By cows, for
there arc barbed wire fences which would
prevent them from 81 ting to that spet. "

Jamaica Ginger Drunk.rds.

Jamaica ginger drunkards are the
most hardened Of all. They are the des-
perately confirmed dpunkafds. In order
to get enough alcohol to make one feel
conscious of it one must of necessity take
stiff amount Of the ginger which of
course goes with it, and by the time the
alcohol acts the ginger burns like fur
mace. The Indian name, fire water" Is
far more applicable to Jamaica ginger
than to whisky. As ginger of all makes
contains fully per cent Of alcohol, one
gill Of it as good as a pint Of whisky.
Women are more addicted to Jamaica
ginger than men. It Is more respectful BILE
to drink ginger than whisky, they think,
and 1t sounds all right to ask fog Q bottle.
You have got, however, to acquire taste
for 1t, but having become addicted to it,
one does not care for ordinary intoxicants.
When asked what they take the stuff for
many women Of the uncombed variety
say, "Oh, for melancholy"

when t,ucy Banning came back from
Paris, whoro she had finished her educa-
ton, ut / 9 she was u grown woman in cv-
cry respect. At this timo she was engaged
20 tho son OF Wall street banker whom
she had met in Paris, but that did net pre-
vent her from becoming the belle Of Los
Angeles immediately. Conspicuous among
her admirers was John bradbury, the
richest catch Of California.
There was some talk Of marriage soon
after tho two met, but parental objections
on the score Of short acquaintance and ex-
treme youth postponed an engagement for
year. Lucy Banning went to visif friends
In San Francisco, and John followed. A
certain restaurant in San Francisco is
noted for Its private supper rooms, delicate
cooking and an air Of fascinating wicked
ness. Miss Banning had heard many
stories about this resort and persiladed
John to take her to quiet little lunch at
the place. She slipped away from her
hostess and met him clandcstinely. After
the lunch they both sat ut tho table in ST.
lencc. Finally each urged the other to tell
what be or she was thinking of. and after
some hesitation they exchanged notes
across the table. Both notes read, Let
M run OF and set married." It was then
about O'Clock, but by liberal use Of
the telegraph and cab hire license was
secured, q minister found, and Mr.. and
Mrs. John Bradbury returned to his rooms
In the Palace hetel.
In the morning Mrs Bradbury lacked
even the necessary articles to make her
toilet. John stepped across the way to the

ToWED TO SEA BY A FISH.

W. L. Kennedy went fishing near Will
mington, N. c., the other day. He threw
his line, very large, strong cord, over
board and made the end fast to the painter
of the boat. In a few moments the boat
gave sudden lurch and Immediately shot
forward for the open sea as though pro-
PEELED by steam. The seas were rolling
high, Kennedy says, and he expected every
minute to be his last. Kennedy soon
realized that he was being towed by some
big fish, and, despite his tireless efforts to
keep the boat straight and pull against his
rushing tug, the chopping seas soon
swamped his little craft.
For more than three hours Kennedy and
his watsrlogged boat were towed to sea
and would have been lost had not the line
chafed and parted near the flsh's mouth.
The boats painter was a chain fastened
with staples under the cap of the boat, and
the fishing line was made fast to the end
of the chain, so that Kennedy was pre-.
vented fEom using his knife to sever the
Irvine.
He thinks it was shark that gave him
his free ride

The cylinder house of the Latin n
Rand Powder Co., at Platteville, blew
up at $40 o'clock ON Friday morning,
Dec. 3, The shock was very distinctly
felt in this city, and many thought it
was an earthquake: others that the
zinc furnace boilers had blown up,
and others that their hot water heaters
or furnaces had exploded.
The mill contained l6 cyltders,
which contained about 10000 lbs, of
powder in process of mixing, Not u
yestige of the mill was left. AT the
time the explosion took place, no ono
WAS on the premises except the engin-
Ger, w. II. Thomas, formerly of this
city. He was SO badly stunned that 1t
was some time before he regained self
control. He then Immediately blew
the whistle to signify that he was all
right. The Plattevillc Witness says;
:" 1t was moonlight when the eNplo-
sion occurred, aud those who were
quick enough to look out saw the inn
mensc cloud of smoke rise up and
float off to the southwest. The super
intendant, MIR. +, +. Newton, boards

aroused him and he was not long in
making up his mind MS to the cause,
He Immediately got out his horse and

of disaster. The explosion Friday
was the worst experienced by the com
pany since the dry house went up in
