PACIFIC FISHING INCIDENT.
Narrow Escape of a Small Boats Party
From a Whales Mad Rush.

The theory that whales refuse to at
tack men unless they themselves are
assailed is exploded.
A monster whale not less than sixty
feet in length made vicious charge
at boat anchored off Point Chavi1lo
and badly frightened it's occupants
But for the GOODNESS of the man who
had the boat in charge the result might
have been disastrous.
The boat, containing the fishermen
and his three children, was pulled to
a point about 1900 feet off Point Cav
a1lo and dropped anchor.
The party were fishing industriously
when a whale entered the Golden Gate
and speeded toward them The specta-
Gle of the animal excited the curiosity
of the younger fisher folk, but caused
no alarm. Suddenly his whaleship
caught sight of the boat and he reared
his majectic proportions aloft until he
seemed to tower in the water like a
six-story building. He was evidently
getting his bearings, as he caught sight
of the boat he spouted fiercely. Then
he sunk with huge splash, 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 whirlwind a consider
able distance beyond. The rapid pas
age of the whale with half of his huge
body above the water-line thrashed
the water into miniature tidal wave,
which swung the boat as though u an
eddy and all but capsized it. The
children screamed in terror and gave
themselves up for lost. The fisherman
did not lose his head, however, and by
a judicious use of his oars brought the
boat about and, minus 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 fins and tail ana
dove out of sight. Later he was seen
off Alcatraz, where he remained for an
hour or two observing the fortifica-
lions. What became Of him after that
nobody l1nOws.-San Francisco Post.

DOGS FAITHFUL WATCH.

This story of dogs faithfulness
comes from Seattle, Wash: All day
long a large Newfoundland dog has
been keeping guard on boom of logs
in the bay. Efforts to get him away
are unavailing. He knows that the
body of his little master, Avery Bah
cock, is beneath. Avery Babcock was
years old. His father, Charles Bah
cock, is a carpenter. The family lives
in cottage on the wharf, inside the
slip of which the logs lay. Friends
visited the family and Avery went
down to the beach at the side of the
wharf with them. He was playing
with the dog, throwing sticks into the
water, when the others went above
The tide was out and the child went
out on a boom, followed by the dog.
Bessie Coleup, aged 4 years, ran to
her mother and Mrs Babcock, crying,
80, little boy" Did he strike your"
asked his mother NO." lisped the
child "Be quiet said the mother.
This was in the afternoon Avery did
not return. Questioning the next day
brought forth the story from Bessie
that Little boy fell into the water and
the dog grabbed him by the arm and
bit so hard he cried" Mr.. and Mrs
Babcock say the action of the dog
shows that he knows his master was
drowned They think he held the
boys arm until the logs closed over
him.

OF THE NEWSPAPER.
People Make the News, the Paper
Holds up the Picture

There are two qualities of human
nature that seem to be inherent in the
article. 1t is natural and it is human.
This accounts for a great many things
that people do. For one thing, mourn
it as we may, they love a fight The
successful warrior is the ideal, popu-
lar hero. What is war but wholesale
fighting? History, as it has been writ
ten for centuries, is little but the
record Of battles. Old Hobbies, who
contended that war was the natural
state of man, and that the intervals of
peace were artificial situations, had
good deal on his side Of the argument.
Now, with these things as they are,
it is human and natural that such an
affair as that prize fight last week
should attract much attention. You
cannot help it. 1t was the event of it's
hour Men and women stood for hours,
late at night, in the driving rain, to

THE ROBBER.

Did you ever meet a robber with pis-
toll and knife,
Whose prompt and cordial greeting
Your money or your life"
Who, while you stood attending with
your hands above your head,
Took your gold, most grimly Offering
to repay you in cold lead?
Well, l once met robber. [ was going
home to tea
The way was rather lonely, though
not yet too dark to see
That the sturdy rough who stopped me
there was very fully armed.
But I'm honest in maintaining that /
didn't feel alarmed.
He was painting hard from running,
SO [, being still undaunted
Very boldly faced the rascal and de-
manded what he wanted
was quite as big as he was, and I was
not out of breath.
So | didn't fear his shooting me or
stabbing me to death.
In answer to my questions the high
wayman raised an arm
And pointed it straight at me, though /
still felt no alarm.
He did/not ask for money, but what
he said was this,
"You cannot pass, papa, unless you
give your boy kiss!"

The meeting at which this eloquent

thusiastic one. The Cheyenne Leader
says:
1t was a fine meeting at the opera
house last evening. For a half hour
previous to the meeting the Union
Pacific band and Flambeau club pa
raded through the business and a por-
ton of the residence district of the
city. Fireworks added to the enthu-
siasm of the hour. The Flambeau
club made a very good appearance,
and the parade was a pleasing feature
of the evening.

chairman OF the evening. On the
platform were Governor Richards,
Chairman Van Orsdel, Chief Justice
Potter, Hon. T. B. Hicks, the Lara

zens.

of their condition.
Everybody D%ispleased.

Train crews too dislike the system
because time was often lost on &C
count of a disordered and incompetent
engine. Everything was at skies and
] sevens and the condition finally be-
came so plain that the management
was forced to take c%ognizance of it.
Mr.. Mcconnell himself studied the
problem and found that the pooling
system was not a success. The great
increase in the motive power by the
addition of new engines at the same
time removed the original cause of
pooling the, engines and then the de-
cision of the Baldwin people settled
the thing.
The first order for IS new freight
locomotives and 20 passenger locomo-
tives has now been increased by an
order for 20 passenger engines of the
compound type and when all these
have been delivered the road will be
in fine shape as far as power is con-
cerned. The compound engines are
giving the greatest satisfaction but
they require careful and even delicate
handling. The pooling system is ruin
Il to them for they require much
more small repairing than locomotives
of the old type. With regular crews
assigned to them every engine will be
well cared for, for they will rest while
the crews rest and all their little
idiocyncracies and habits will be ia
miliar to their crews
