SAWFISH AND SWORDFISH
TWO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT CREATURES

similarity Of sound between sword and saw
multtudes of people continually confound two
monsters with each other. Between the
sawfish and the sWordfsh the only points OF
| similarity that exist are that both are fish ana
both bear weapon on their heads. Beyond
these common features the two creatures are
essentially unlike And | have often been
amused by people pointing out with an air or
pride huge sword" as they have called it,
suspended in some conspicuous place on their
walls and by their informing me with an air OF
wisdom that this is the weapon with when
ships bottoms often pierced and thereby
many lives are lost
These saws" are very plentiful in East India
ports where they form one Of the regular stock
articles Of the curiO dealers-so plentiful, in fact
that for a rupee very fine specimen may pe
purchased They consist of broad blade Of
cartilage (of which the whole skeleton OF shark
is cOmposed). and are studded on both edges
with short. sharp teeth at regular intervals. The
end Of the weapon, however Is thlCkened, pelnS
far more like a snout than point and is withal
SO soft that the most cursory glance should con-
vince anybody that as thrusting implement 1t
must toe worse than useless
As Il matter Of fact. the shark 10 which II be-
longs uses il in quite different fashion. From
the fact OF his teeth being very small, although
exceedingly numerous he IS compelled 10 feed
upon soft matter ana ne therefore supplies HIS
need 10y the dsagreeabe practice of disembowe-
ling other fish and feeding upon the entrails.
This he does by gliding beneath them and draw
ing his saw across their bellies in workmanlike
fashion after which he Is able to proceed with
his meal and leave the rest Of the body to the
other sea scavengers that are sure to be in the
vicinity.

POLICE COURT
An Insight into the Phony Jewelry
 Business.

A great deal of light was thrown on the "phony' jewe!ry business in police court yesterday. Two strangers named Keiffer and Page had been arrested for peddling without a licensa. KeiGer had visited several houses on East Monroe street on Monday afternoon trying to sell a gold ring marked 1S-k- It had an appearance of age designed to make the prospective purchaser think it was an heirloom which the owner was regretfqlly disposing of un- der stress of circumstances keiffer offered the ring at so many places that he was brought under the obserVa ton Of the police. When he vas arrested no jewelry was found on him, but his partner. Page. had enough of it for both. He also had a bill from a Chi cago ring manufacturer showing that the price of the rings was 8 a dozen.

 JUAN LOSES PENSION. Juan Jose, the patriarch of the Maricopas, was in town yesterday drawing his monthly stipend from the county. Years ago the county gave Juan Jose a monthly pension of $15 on account of his friendlireas to the whites when
 they were few and threatened by Apaches. As the memory of Juan loses services was dimmed by l2psing years his pension was gradually cut down until now it is S7.5o month. The reason that figure has been fixed upon is that Juan Jose has been brought under the rule applied to out side indigents. They shall be paid TO more than would be required for their support if they Were inmates of the county hospital Juan Jose raised q roar yesterday when he found his al lowance had been scaled down fifty cents since last month.

racket, and I'll hitch the bag to that
telephone wire on the ceiling"
Mrs. Bowser promptly disappeared,
and he got the stepladder and gave the
bag a hang from the wire. When he
squared off before it again he was alone
and untramelled, and he meant to
knock seven bells out of something.
The bag had a long play, and as he
hauled off On it there was a crash
against the ceiling and a rebound that
made him see stars. In coming back
the bag struck him fair in the face and
for a minute he looked around to see
the horse which had kicked him.

Mr.. Bowsor had never studied the
elusive tactics of the punching bag.

to Reed City on a private matter. For

great dissatisfaction there over the

teen miles beyond. 1t should have
been detained on the siding at Reed

pened that the mail train up met with
an accident and was an hour late. The
express had hardly switched in when
some n carried the news that Super
intendent Anthony and his daughter
Rose were in his private car at the
tail-end Of the train, and a quarter of
an hour later there was a hooting,
bowling mob around the cara mob
bent on mischief. When the first fifty
gathered the Superintendent smiled;

a minute later there was a crash, and
she called down:
Have you knocked a side out OF the
house, Mr.. Bowser?"
Mr.. Bowser hadn't. In his lodging about
he had encountered a chair and fallen over
it. and had come down so heavily that a
referee would have counted him out. 1t
was a long minute before he got up, and
then his good nature had departed. No
punching bag ever made by mortal man
could knock him about with .impunity. He
rose up with a determination TO collapse
that bag with one awful blow. He had
been warned to go easy, but his outrs ged
dignity demanded revenge Mrs. Bowser
heard him tapping the bag with his left
to get it in motion, and then she heard
him draw a long breath like a horse going
up hill as he hauled of to deliver the
knockout blow with his right. AS he
jumped in to deliver the blow he had to
dodge the bag, and there was a thump
against the wall which ratified things clear
to the garnet, followed by a howl. a stag
ger and a fall. She got down stairs in a
breath, and found Mr.. Bowser lying across
the foot OF the lounge. with the bag
playing pendulum above him. His awful
blow had missed it and landed on the wall,

the other evening and for the life Of
her, Mrs. Bowser couldn't make out
whether he had fallen heir to a for

this situation she wisely held her peace
and asked no questions even when she
discovered that he had brought home
a package. He vouchsafed no infor-
NATION, but during the dinner hour
fwas preoccupisd and exultant by turns.
When they had adjourned to the fam
sly room he was ready to explain, and
be softly began:
Mrs. Bowser, with your permission
I want to try a little experiment this

asked.
Somewhat. You know how my
shoulders have panied me of late?
There are mornings when I can scerce-

springs"
III / haven't complained" he con-
tinued, as he preserved his good ma
ture. 1T was because I didn't care to
worry you. AS a matter Of fact, Mrs.
Bowser-a matter of medical fact-I
am what Is called shoulder-bound. That
is,srheumatism has seized upon and
contracted my muscles, and if some
thing is not done paralysis will even
tually overtake me. If / get a stroke

simple. Half an hours work for a few
evenings will fix me all right. l met
a professional athlete to-day and af-
ter examining my condition, he told
Tine just what to do. However, il you
have the slightest objection-if you
want to see me become a victim of the

What did he tell you to do?" she
asked.
Mr.. Bowser went to the hall tree and
got his package and returned with it
n held it up and replied:
Simplest thing in the world. 1t is
called a punching bag. You initiate it
n hang it up and punch it. The ex-
ercise benefits every muscle in the back

down and blocked the wheels. AS he
stood before the Superintendent again
he said:
