used to think it very strange until
I had seen the skeleton of whale.
There is one of these in the Northwest
ern university, near Chicago. 1t is
probably so or go feet long and or 10
feet high. I know no reason why such
monster could not swallow man or
half dozen of them SO far as that is
concerned.
But you know that it is sometimes
said that the throat of q whale Is not
large enough to swallow q man. Such
q concession is not necessary. But
grant that it were true. 1t is no where
recorded that it was q whale that swal-
the original Hebrew signify great
fish or sea monster. AS likely q shark
or anything else as whale. And sure
~ there are many sea monsters capable
of swallowing a man.
1 was sailing one day in the straits
OF Malacca between Singapore and
Penang. 1 was standing on the upper
deck, toward the front end of the
vessel, taking with the captain; when
looking two or three hundred yards
ahead of US we saw three or four OBJ
jects, that looked like huge logs that
lay directly in our course. The cap
tain cried out, "Hallo. Waterman,
look out for those logs in front of US,
there is no telling how long they are"
A moment later we saw them glide
swiftly through the water and disap-
pear: If such monsters people the sea,
surely some of them are able to swal-
low q man.
We must also remember that his
tory records at least two cases where
men have been swallowed by sea
monsters and yet rescued.
In 1920, A. D., while vessel was
sailing on the Mediterranean sea man
fell over board and was swallowed by a
sea monster. A shot from a small
cannon having been fred into the mon
ster the man was disgorged and saved
alive. A few years ago man while

IN that place and it was surely just IS
apt to come at that time as any other.
But the account simply says that it
was a shower of hail stones. History
records many hail storms in which the
hail stones would have slain men. I
have seen hail storms myself in which
I would not want to take my chances.
Now what would be the effect OF vast
hail storm upon an army of uneducated
superstitious men already in a state OF
panic?-upon an army that already be-
iieved that God was fighting against
them. Would it be strange that such
q circumstance should prove the death
of more of the Canaanites than the Is
raelites slew? So I say that as time
advances and as science advances and

Atlantic fell over board. His compa-
mons supposed him to be lost. A few
hours later when the whale was dray-
ed on board the vessel and cut into, the
man was found more dead than alive

So in the future as science advances
and men learn more, of land and sea,

In my estimate of Hfe's fgrestest
blessings I mark sfrst, true religion,
| second true marriage, and third true
friendship. And,yet the first two are
but the higher order Of the third. Low
Is the golden thread thatsruns through
them all. And friendship is the very
essence of love. "a friend loveth at
all times"
This marks the difference between a
friend and one who is merely a friend
ly acquaintance. The latter NAV
sometime abandon, hate and forger
even you. The true friend. never.
No distance nor time can sever this
union nor destroy it's power. The sun
though millions of miles away ex-
ercises q constant influence on our
earth. The power of gravitation is so
strong that it binds objects that are
thousands of miles apart. So with
that love that justifies the word
friendship. No mountain is high
enough to shut out its view: no con
tinent Is broad enough to break its
union; no ocean is deep enough to
drown its power of attraction.
We read sometimes of the "tragic
death" of friendship. But 1 doubt if
any such scene was ever witnessed in
human nature is weak, and that es-
arrangements may come. But they are
generally due to the hot blood of one
of the friends only, and will be over
come by the burning love of the other,
that like powerful magnet constantly
seeks to draw him back again. But
should the enlargement be permanent
then it only reveals the fact that one
or both could not stand the tests of
true friendship. True friends are
tried friends. And be they true, their
love is as unquenchable as the fires of
the burning sun, and as immovable as
the everlasting hills.

AN EXCITING RACE.
African and Greek in Sprinting Match
 Last Night.

] A fleeing negro chased by an irate Greek with the fragments of an empty fruit box hanging around his neck furnished fun for pedestrians in Second avenue last night. The course of the race was from the fruit stand, corner of First avenue and Nine teent1h street to Eighteenth street via Sec- ond avenue.
 Here flag in the shape of policeman was encountered and on account of l shortness of wind the flyers failed to get in on time limit and the race was called off.
 It seems that the son of Africa had loi- tered carelessly around the aforesaid fruit stand until he caused several apples to fall to the sidewalk and roll into the gutter, The man from Sparta became enraged and ordered the negro to "mova on,' at the same time making use of aal the English 0cuss'' words in his vocabulary; whereupon the ''culled' man grabbed an empty fruit box and smashed 1t over the head of the Greek and made sprint for other parts. The Spartan followed close on his heels, yelling at every step, "Stoppa dana fool"
