agine a shark seeing a big fat brewer
swimming in the water and a school of
bluefish nearby. The shark would no more
want that brewer for dinner than an
Irishman would want limburger cheese.
The shark would turn tail and follow the
bluehsh. But IL the fat brewer cornercd
him he would fight like any animal that
wanted to get away and in a case like
that he would certainly show his teeth.
But he would have no particular liking for
the brewer. In fact. he would consider
the fat man unpalatable. But while fight
ing TO get away he might amputate an
arm or leg. I've heard stories of peculiar
finds In the belly OF a shark. such as
human arm or part of a leg but when
you go TO look for such cases its the old
story of up near the four corners and
when you get there no one can say ex-
actly which corner the case occurred on.
i've seen many sharks cut up but all
/ ever saw in a sharks belly was a por-
ton of a large fish or OF some other
shark. I've cut one open myself and
found a ten-pound bluehsh. but never
found a man. II there is such a thing a s

also the horses All suddenly strike at
work at times, especially If they have
been together a good deal. Then there is
a regular epidemic of runaways, smash
ups, and so forth or sometimes most of
the horses of a town, as if by previous
arrangement, will be down in the road and
refuse to get up.
Cows are worse still, and when they are
seen crowding together under trees, hdget-

the srowl' and the herders and milkmen
know they are going to have bad time.
At such periods cows will sooner die of
'miik-fever" than let themselves be

able mules. Bullocks, when they get a
fit of this kind. are actually known as
strikers" and are liable to become dan
gerous. When the herdsmen see them
budding together sulkily, and making odd
snorting or grunting noises, they look out
for squalls, for the cattle will not be
hereed in any direction, and stubbornIy

Birds are notorious for woman s
