immense shark near Punta Gorda.
While they were playing a large tarpon
n shark came up and bit half moon
weighing about ten pounds out of the
tarpon's belly. This killed the tarpon.
but before II could be gnifed and pull
cd In the shark took out another half
moon n size larger. As they were
hauling the tarpon aboard the shark
bit Off the tail, equaling one-third the
length and about one-fourth the weight
OF the fish. The part that was left over
weighed iGl pounds. They beat the
shark over the head with the oars.
The fish would have been n record

220 pounds. The scales were preserv-
ed and measured 80 by 1la inches.

AN EFFECTIVE SERMON.

Trumpet Mast That Drove the PeO-
pie Ia Repentance.
A prominent Methodist churehman
recently told the following story Of old
Peter Cartwright, the famous preacher
and circuit rider of many years ago:
The eXhorter was holding II camp
meeting In Ohio There was great
number Of campers on the field, and
the eccentric speaker addressed vast
concourses at every service, but he
thought too few We're being converted.
lie felt that something should be done
TO stir the sinners To repentance, SO
he prepared II strong sermon on the
second coming of Christ. He told how
the world would go on In Its sin and
wlckodncss, and ut last Gabriel would
sound his trumpet and time would
come TO an end. He described the
horrors of the lost and the Joys of
those who were saved. The sermon
grew in intensity and he brought his
people up to grand climax when sud
denly the sound of trumpet smote
the ears Of the anxious throng.
There WAS Il reat-ae"sss>t'"s>, snsN
many Iell upon tllelr Knees III Terror
ana began To repent and pray. Women
screamed and strong men groaned;
pandempnlum was let loose for few
minutes. After the terror had some
what ceased the preacher called to Il
man up n tree and he descended with
long tin horn In his hand. The
speaker then turned In fierce wrath
and upbrnlded the people. He cried
out In stentorlan tones that IL man
with n tin horn up tree could
brighten them SO, how would 1t be In
the last great end when GabriePs
trumpet sounded the knell of the
world. The sermon had great effect
upon the vast audience, and many
hundreds nockcd TO the front and We're

A STICK WITH A STORY.
The Odd Office Which 1t Performed
\ In 81 Gambling Den.


In II Gambling Den.
"Fhere's an odd little story connect
ed with this old cane" said New
Orleans sporting man the other day.
rlou will observe how heavy it is and
how the ferrule comes down to n sharp
point, 1t used to be carried by an old
chap who was we'll known character
hcre back in the seventies. He had an
interest in very crooked gambling
house. l won't hurt anybodys feel
ings by mentioning the exact location,
but II was saying that you might as
well Slide your money under the door
and walk OF. 1t saved time.
This old fellow I'm speaking of
never operated any of the games, but
was apparently II mere spectator. His
business was TO dispose of what were
known technically as Knockers A
knockcr was anybody who attempted
to put victim ON his guard, usually a
well meaning but otlicious friend. For
example, visitor would be playing Mt
one of the games and his friend, look
ing ON, would smell a rat As a rule
he would feel 1t his duty TO say some
thing, and such suggestions We're nat.
urally resented by the house.
.When the old man would see n
knocker about to knock he would
hobble up, leaning heavily ON his cane,
aud plant the ferrule, as II by accl-
dent, squarcly ON the offenders foot.
Such prod would cause the victim
eXcruclating agony, and he would Inn
medlately lose all interest In exposing
fraud. While he was writing and
groaning the old fellow would over
whelm him with apologies and insist
upon his coming into the back room
to get n drink Meantime the other
chap would be losing his money as fast
as he could get ii out

the physicians counsel, and which was
so helpful in preserving the health when
