Two weeks ago Sadie read in a
newspaper of a man of her fathers
name. She was then staying at ho-
tel in Thousand Islands. She at once
began an Investigation, and there
came about happy reunion between
father and daughter.
The mystery of the girls disap-
pearance she explained fully at that
reunion. She had cloped with Law

man, who had settled down with her
in Now Orleans, La, where he is now

BATTLE WITH A TURTLE.
One Weighing One Hundred Pounds
scizcs Restaurant Pa
irons Legs.

Phillip Emmons, of Garwood, had a
battle the other day in William Wus-
sler's restaurant, on Broad street,
Elizabeth, d. j., with a huge sea
snapper turtle weighing 100 pounds.
The turtle was permitted to crawl
around the floor, and Emmons
kicked it on the head. Suddenly the
snapper made n dart at its tormcntor
and closed it's jaws in his calf. EN-
mons .howled with pain and danced
around the floor, but was unable to
shake off the turtle. Sticks and
canes were vainly brought into use
by the excited diners, who thought
they could beat off the snapper from
his victim. The blood streamed from
Emmons' leg as he jumped around,
and the turtle hung on with the
tenacity of bulldog.
Proprietor Wussler at last seized
an ice pick and plunged it into the
snappers neck, which caused it to re-
lax its grip. Emmons was badly bit
ten and hardly able to stand. He
was taken to nearby surgeon, who
dressed the wound and sent him tc
liosrrrul. Tire -srrpper WIS de-
capitated shortly after the incident

ages.

GENERATIONS OF DIPLOMATS.
The Fox Family Holds the Record in
the Consular Scrvice-Locntcd
at Falmouth, Eng.

The family with the longest record
in diplomatic service is the Fox fam
lily. Four successive generations the
Fox family have held the post of con
sui at Falmouth, England, since May
80, 1904, when President Washingto on
appointed as representative of this
government to that place Robert w.
Fox. On his death his son was ap-
pointed to the place, to be succeed
ed by the grandson, Howard Fox,
who is the present consul, and whose
son is the vice consul. The latter, it
is likely, will be appointed to sue
ceed his father on the latter's retire
ment or death.
There have been many demands
made on each change of administra-
ton to oust the Fox family, who are
English people, but the state depart
ment, largely for sentimental rea-
sons, has made no change in the Of
flee.
1t has been generally supposed that
Consul Sprague at Gibraltar and his
family had been longest in the diplo-
'matic Service, but the FoN's have
held office under the state department
for much longer period.

was soon following after the huge
bird, which found flight difficult with
it's heavy burden.

Army FIIIing Up at Rapid Rate.

Enlistments in the army are at a
unprecedented rate, much to the
qualification of artillery officers, who
are anxious to have the maximum
strength of their crops attained at
an early date. The last week there
were 403 enlistments, the previous
weekly average being less than 200.
This enabled the war department to
complete the third increment of artil-
lery increase and make the promo
tions among the commissioned Off
GERS. The surplus enlistments with
the additional transfers this week
gives AIT men on the fourth incre-
ment of 1,s02 men.
All the infantry regiments are
now recruited to their strength and
all cavalry regiments except the
Thirteenth are full. This enables
the recruiting officers TO throw all
the recruits to the artillery.
