q vicious charge at boat anchored on
Point Cayallo and badly frightened its
occupants. But for the GOODNESS OF the
man who had the boat in charge the re-
suit might have been disastrous The
boat, containing the fisherman and MS
three children, was pulled to point
about i 500 feet off Point Cavallo ana
dropped anchor. The party were fish
ing industriously, when a whale en-
tered the Golden Gate and speeded to-
ward them The spectacle of the ami
NAL excited the curiosity of the young
er fisher folk but caused no alarm. Sud
denly his whaleship caught sight of the
boat and he reared his majestic pro-
portions aloft until he seemed to tower
in the water like a six-story building.
He was evidently getting his bearings,
and as he caught sight of the boat he
spouted fiercely. Then he sank with
a huge splash, and came up again and
dashed for the boat. Happily, the aim
of the leviathan was bad. for in his
rush he missed the boat by some three
or four feet and passed on like a whiri-
wind a considerable distance beyond.
The rapid passage of the whale with
half of his huge body above the water
line thrashed the water into a minia-
ture tidal wave, which swung the boat
as though in an eddy and all but cap
sized ii. The children screamed In
terror and gave themselves up for lost.
The fisherman did not lose his head.
however, and by judicious use OF his
oars brought the boat about, and, mi
nus some fishing tackle which was
purloined by the whale in his passage,
he headed for the shore. The whale
turned as If to renew the attack. but,
apparently thinking better of it, he
tapped his fms and tail and dove out
of sight. Later he was seen off AL
catraz. where he-renained for an hour
or two observing the Notifications.
What became of him after that nobody
knows.-San Francisco Post.

SHE WAS A WISE CHILD.

How Little Maine Girl Drew Money
from an Unsuspecting Parent.
In Houlton. Maine, there is one lit
tie girl who has fairly comprehensive
idea of modern financial principles,
though she is still in the nursery. Mice
had become troublesome in the house,
and the little girls father brought
home a mouse trap one day, telling his
little daughter that he would give her
a cent for every mouse she caught in
the trap. The tail of the mouse was
to be accepted as a draft for payment.
The first day the trap was set two
mice were caught, and the little mice
catcher brought two mice tails to her
father. and received two cents, which
she invested in slate pencil and a
stick of candy. Next day four mice
tails were presented, and four cents
were paid over, and so every day for a
month two or four mice tails were
"cashed in" by the little girl. Finally
the fond parent noticed that the tails
presented a worn appearance. light
dawned on him, and, saying nothing.
he took the tails and put them into the
stove. After that payments ceased.
The little financier had been using the
same mouse tails over and over, until
her father saw through the game

Art and Nature.

The perfect blending of the real and
ideal has recently been advertised by
Paris milliners, who has come to use
oats from the fields to trim the bon
nets of their fair customers. The adj
venture which befell one such bonnet
and its wearer is related by a foreign
newspaper. A lady, dressed beyond
the reach of criticism, was crossing
broad boulevard. A cab bore down
upon her and she stepped hastily back
and stopped in front of the curbstone,
unmindful of horse and cart stand
ing Immediately behind her. The horse
quietly shifted the oats and then, de-
Gliding that they were genuine, began
to MUNICH. He was thus engaged when
the lady, quite unaware of the pleasure
she was affording the hungry animal.
started forward. But the horse was far
from satisfied, and planting his fore
feet on the ladys skirt, continued his
repast. The lady, supposing the horse
about to devour her head, promptly
tainted and was removed to drug
gists shop near by, where happily she
soon recovered. The moral of the
story is that every field of oats should
have fence about it.

Dynamite sometimes slsips.

From the Hawesville, KY, Clarion:
Just why a wagon and horse belong
ing to M. H. Enright, owner of the
Falcon coal mines, were not blown to
kingdom come always will remain a
matter of wonder Mr.. Enright drove
one-horse wagon to Adair station,
about mile from the mines, and load
ed up lot of merchandise, including
a can containing fifty pounds of dyna-
mite The horse became frightened
and ran away, running all the way to
the mines. Just before reaching that
point the wagon struck an obstruction,
breaking the vehicle badly and scat
tering the load, including the dyna-
mite, over the ground. Everybody ex-
pected to see the wagon, horse and
everything in that vicinity blown to
pieces, but, strange to relate. the dyna-
mite did not explode. One stick of the
dynamite fell under the wheels and
was run over, breaking it in two, but
still there was no explosion from the
conclusion.
