A 4orehead Adventure.
N: Y: Dispatch.

N. Y. Dispatch.
Fishermen from the shore in the vi
cinity of Morehead city, N. c., tell of
thrilling adventure of one of their
comrades, w. L. Kennedy, who was
towed in his little boat for miles at sea
by mammoth shark or some other
great fish.
Kennedy was fishing in the sound
for drum with hook and line, and had
been out in his boat all the morning.
About l O'Clock in the afternoon he
drew in his line and moved on up the
sound for few hundred yards to lit
tie inlet where he hoped to find better
luck. Arriving at the inlet Kennedy
threw his line, very large, strong
cord, overheard, and made the end fast
to the painter on the boat.
In few moments the boat gave a
sudden lurch and Immediately shot
forward for the open sea as though
propelled Dy steam. The seas were
rolling high, Kennedy says, and he ex-
pected every minute to be his last.
Kennedy soon realized that he was be-
Ing towed by some big fish, and, despite
his tireIess 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 waterlogged boat were towed to
sea, and would have been lost had not
the line chafed and parted near the
fish's mouth. The boats painter was
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 prevented from
using his knife to sever the twine

Things We Ought to Know.

That sewing silk is soaked in acetate
of lead to increase the weight conse-
quentIy, it should never be passed be-
tween the lips, as lead poisoning has
been known to result from this habit.
That child should never be trotted
on the knee by mother or nurse. It is
sometimes diastrous in effect.
That child's nursery should always
be on the sunny side Of the house, and
should be kept neat and clean and al
ways CHEEKY.
That blankets should now be washed,
so that they may be ready for the first
cool days of early fall.
That cream will whip more easily if
a grain of salt be added.
Love your enemies but do not forget
your friends.
Volunteer economy is wealth.
Forced economy is poverty.
There is no wisdom in the world like
knowing how to keep your mouth shut.
The man who gives his baby pare
gorlc at midnight may be depended
upon to add several drops for good
measure.
That black cotton stockings should
never be ironed, as the heat of the iron
will cause them to fade rapidly.
That black stockings should always
be dried in the shade.

dom of marriage will have tendency
to confuse your thought so that the
minor Junction. function whose
qualification has not hitherto been es-
sential to your happy communion with
her-is in danger of becoming the
major feature of the united life. In
stead of being a subordinate enjoyment,
merely added that the mental and
spiritual attachment may be more
firmly welded, 1t will, like cuckoo in
the home nest, grow and fight for the
mastery of all and will succeed unless
you watch. The dividing line between
love and lust is easily crossed, and then,
like paraiysed king in the lower floor
OF his three-storied palace, it will be
hard to reach the higher stories OF her
mind and spirit, In whose beauties you
once gloried. Where there is COM
plete surrender OF the best of each to
each, there will meyer be contentment
with grossness the completion of love
will remain lofty and sanctiied. But
where the act degenerates into lust, it
becomes as unloveIy as the satisfied
grunting of breeding swine. Then our
little Eden will become closed to us by
the flaming sword of the outraged
higher qualities.
When cultured Athens, arts historic
flower,
Too softly nurtured to retain her power,
Yielded her treasurers to barbaric
Like gilded galleon reft on rocky
shore =
Rude Roman soldiers spoiled her sacred
shrines
And drained from priceless cups their
common wines.
Over her choicest gems quarrelled and
fought, p
And found in purest art but sensual
thought.
Thus ever will the coarse, untutored
mind
Degrade Gods saintliest gifts, to beauty
blind,
Drag from their holy haunts things
pure and chaste,
And all the wealth of garnered wisdom
waste,
And even stain where high it shines
above
The lofty lustre of ennobling love.

must keep alive in your heart its pres

sists as much in communion with her
dear mind and spirit as it does in secur-

to still, for you like to think as she

beautiful young finance, 81 have called
to tell you that l have reconsidered the
proposal of marriage which 1 made you
some time ago, and to ask you to re-

"What is your reason for making
this extraordinary announcement, Mr.
Bagrox?" haughtily demanded the
young lady, drawing herself up to her
height.
"You will pardon me, trust" re-
turned the gentleman, with depre-
catory gesture, "when l say you are
trife too fin de steele for a conserva-
tive man of my age"
do you mean to insult me, sir-r-r?"
cried the naughty young beauty, in

Nothing could be farther from my

A Flower from the West.

There could hardly have been more
striking contrast than that between the
Tillman exhibition and the appearance
the day before of Thurston, the new
senator from Nebraska. Thurston is
an orator, reminiscent in his manner of
the most polished and effective orators
of the earlier school. He is speaker
who has studied his methods and de-
veloped natural talent to consummate
art. He appreciates the value of COM
binations of vocables and the adapta-
ton of sound to sense. He deals in ca
dences and prose harmonies. His
speech is music--a perfectly attuned
linguistic accompaniment to thought.
Thurston looks like a schoolmaster
or college professor. His ascetic fea-
lures, his doming forehead, the finely
chiseled lines of the chin and lower
face, and the big-eyed spectacles, with
their gold bows, tend to give him a
scholastic look that is enhanced by a
slender figure and pedagogical, dog
matte walk. He is not the sort of man
you would expect to come from the
prairies, but his western training is
evident in his mastery of the art of
brevity and terseness. His speech of
Thursday was only half an hour long
and there was not a sentence that could
have been stricken out without marring
the perfect symmetry of the WHOLE
Exchange.
