An Old Canal,

The Dismal Swamp canal. which con-
meets Chesapeake Bay with Albemarle
Sound, enables small craft to avoid the
perilous passage around Cape Hat
teras, and is a part of the inland navi-
cation between New York and Florida,
will be opened soon, after extensive
repairs. This waterway is said to have
the oldest canal charter in existence,
dating back to 1877.

shot into the air.
| Kannoga was crushed down under Its
weight, but he had reached the lake
and fell where the water was nearly
knee-deep. He felt the panther release
| its grasp in order to find firm footing,
and when he raised up for air discov-
cred it's dripping head little more than
an arms length from his own.
Then he took deep breath and lay
down upon the bottom. hoping that the
panther would leave him.
1t stood there, however watching
over him and waiting.
He started to crawl out from shore,
but it seemed to him that he had hardly
moved when heavy claws sunk into his
/ leg and dragged him back. Then, with
out letting go It's hold, the panther i'm
medlately shifted its position and be-
gan to drag him out into shallower
water.
He made desperate efforts to hold
fast to the lake bed. for he knew what
the end would be if he reached the
shore, but his fingers only plowed
through the sand.
The sharp point of a rock that tore
him as he was dragged over 1t gave him
hope; he grasped it with both hands
and chung with all his strength, but In
an instant his fingers were digging
vainly in the sand again.
At last he raised his head for air.
The panther at once let go of his leg
and came at him with open mouth, but
it moved slowly in the water, and Kan
noga, by a great effort, stood up.
| Then the beast sprung upon him.
The boy had nerved himself, how
ever, and fell as far out from shore as
! he could.
When the feeling Of dizziness that
/ followed the shock had passed he found
| that the panther held his arm in its
mouth and was swlmming-that its
| feet did not touch bottom.
Then. in spite of the terrible pain 1t
caused him, he pulled his arm down
until the cougars head was submerged.
Very soon it released its hold.
Then the Indian boy stood up again,
and this time he became the aggressor.
Grasping the slick, wet head with
both hands he forced it deep into the
water. The panthers feet touched bot
tom, and It's violent struggles threw
him down, but he got up again and held
the glaring eyes and the red mouth
with its white teeth more carefully
Just under the surface of the lake.
Kannoga became very weak and his
legs trembled feebly under him, but he
was thankful that they We're long, for
he could stand with his head in the cool
evening breeze while the cougar was
drowning.
At first the panther made fearful
sounds as the water filled its lungs, but
these presently ceased. and at last it
hung a dead weight in the boys hands.
He let 1t sink then and loosened stone
! from the lake bed to roll upon its head.

SYMPATHETIC STRIKE ORDERED.
SPREAD OF THE LABOR TROUBLES AT BUFFALO
BOTH SIDES FIRM

Buffalo, June 1.-THE strike Of the freight
handlers at the Erie docks for an advance Of one
cent an hour in wages was considered at
meeting Of the Freight Handlers Union this af
ternoon and a sympathetic strike Of the inside
workers, or housemen. in all OF the freight
houses was ordered. None Of these men will
report for duty In the morning About thou
sand men have been called out. and this will
virtually throw twice as many more out Of
work as the outside workers will refuse TO carry
freight into the houses, and should non n-union
men be employed for inside work the outside
men will quit.
Nothing has yet been heard from President
Keefe Of the Longshoremens Union, who was
asked by telegraph yesterday to come to Buffalo
ano rendeavor TO settle the trouble.
From present appearances a general tie-up
al far as freight boats concerned is certain
for the time being. The railroad companies
and contractors say they will not grant the de-
mands of the men. and the latter are equally
determined not to return to work without the
advance.
