NOT GOOD FRIENDS.
The sallorman and the Shark Cannot
Come Together.

the Sallorman and the Shark Cannot
Come Together
Sailors certainly hate sharks" said
q man who has returned from his va.
cation over the lake 1T was off the
pilot boat, on the bay side Of Ship
Island. Tony, one Of the sailors, had
rowed two amateur fishermen near a
lot Of old pilng where Spanish mack
erel we're supposed tc bite at the rate
Of sixty an hour, but where, as a
matter Of fact, only lady fish we're
anxious 10 snap up the bait and where
big sharks broke hooks, snapped lines
and shattered poles. Tony had been
gradually working himself up into a
fine rage against these dogs Of the
deep. Time and time again his hooks
and lines had been taken He had
began to execratc the sharks In
broken English, but finding this made
quate a choice flow OF Italian pro
family was directed at the shovel
nosed mauraudors. Tony is a sailor,
and all sailors hate a shark; but In
this instance Tony's natural hatred
was intensified by the discomfort and
annoyance of having to rig up new
lines for himself and the amateurs.
In desperation be dived into a small
locker in the boat and produced line
as big as a young rope, with a hook
that would have done for the hanging
up Of meat in a butcher stall. Tony
then cut a big lady fish in two and
fixed the tail to the hook. When he
threw the line into the water he re-
marked with frills, that he intended to
do up one of the leather-skinned devils
of the deep or die. Having thus fixed
trap for the sharks, Tony relaxed
himself and went to pulling In lady
fish for the sport of the thing, leav-
Ing one end of his shark line tied to
the boat.
ooh, da old devil" cried Tony sud
denly. The big line had gone out like
lightning. Tony threw down his pole,
grabbed the line and began to pull
with all his might. Soon the ugly
nose of a fve-foot shark was seen near
the side of the sklf. It's wicked little
eyes were glazing with rage. AS Tony
drew it near the boat it turned over
and crushed it's teeth against the gun
vale. The amateurs wanted to shoot
with a revolver, but Tony prevented
them. He was now as mad as the
shark. He was standing in the boat,
cursing at the writhing fish and at
tempting to get grip on it's head.
Finally the strong right hand of Tony
had seized the shark with a grip of
Steel and pulling with his left hand
by the line and raising with his right,
managed to get the shark partly over
the side of the boat. He then reached
down quickly and with his left hand
caught the shark by its tail Tonys
teeth gritted with anger. He batted
the head of the shark against the side
Of the boat, causing the fish to make
frantic endeavors to escape, while the
blood ran from it's jaws. Tony was
asked by one of the amateurs to let
the shark go, but he was not finished
It was only after the shark had been
ripped open with knife that Tony
with a final Italian denunciation, cast
him overheard. Even then the sea
devil swan on top Of the water for q
long time before giving UP the ghost.

Miss F|O[Q NCF|n|sey.

The Evening Post of New York says
in discussing the life of William Allen
Bntler:
The grievous case of Miss Flora Nc
Flimsey of Madison Square is recalled
by the death of her creator, the late
William Allen Butler. All through
the year 1857 people were asking who
wrote Nothing TO Wear" an anony-
nous poem in "Harper's Weekly"
The authorship was imputed, claimed,
aud disclaimed until Mr.. Butler was
fairly forced to own this random pro-
duct of his genial wit. A clever i'm
provisation has seldom taken "a to vn
more completely by storm. Probably
just this kind of success would be i'm
possible today. even if it were as well
deserved The town was more dis
|tinctly the town in the late fitties than
it ever can be again, Mr.. Butler, at
his lawyers desk downtown, was not
too far from Miss McFlinlsey to bear
her case in mind through the day. That
young lady spent the year, save sin
gle month in the summer, at her Madi-
son Square residence, while the opulen-
ce of Madison Square itself was stiff
ciently near the East Side slums for the
contrast to be exemplary. Everything
was more compact, and it was easy to
get Miss McFlimsey and her kind un-
der the glass, and to find an audience
sufficiently familiar with her sort to
view the dissection with interest. Then
she herself was more satisfactory en-
bodiment of ft1ssy femininity than can
readily be found when girls are study
ing for college, or spending long sum-
mers, not in grieving that they "h have
nothing to wear" but in acquiring a
fairly Indian tan and masculine biceps.
1t was Mr.. Buffers good fortune 10
catch Miss McFlimsey as she was pas
sing. He made her very interesting, if
wholly frivolous. .

President Roosevelt favored reci-
procity before he became President,
pledged himself to carry forward Mac
kinley's policy when he took the oath
of office at Buffalo, and urged Upon the
Senate the ratification of reciprocity
treaties already before that body in his
first message to congress. He is as
firmly committed to the policy of reci-
procity as was President Mckinley, In
his message to congress he said: RE
ciprocity must be treated as the hand
maiden of protection. Our first duty is
to see that the protection granted by
che tariff in every case where it is
needed is maintained, and that recipro-
city be sought for SO far as it can safely
be done without injury to Our home in
dustries, Just how far this is must be
determined according to the individual
case, remembering always that every
of our tariff policy to meet
our shifting national needs must be
conditioned upon the cardinal fact that
the duties must never be reduced be-
low the point that will cover the diff
erence between the labor calss here and
abroad. The well-being of the wage
worker is a prime consideration of our
entire policy of economic legislation"
Tie President also said: s.I'he nat
ural line of development for q policy Of
reciprocity will be il connection with
those of our productions which no lon
ger require all the support once needed

eyes. He finds that fully IS per cent oi
the school children have diseased organa
Of sight. He attributes this alarming con.
dition partly to a bad system Of lighting
in the homes and school rooms aud partly
to tnercurial poisons inherited from par
ents who lived in the days Of blue mass
doctoring. Mr.. Collins recommends a
system of skylights for the school room
similar to that Of California. He says
that the number of school children in
Idaho has increased 10000 within the
past year and now numbers 10000. Ev-

GOVERNOR HUNT fORGETS
In His Speech at the Court House Last Night
He Failed to Remember Some important
fscts-Judse fIenner lnduIsss in Statistics.


The first big rally of the democratic
party in Lewiston was held at the court
house last night. Taking advantage OF
the crowds attending the fair, the Gov
ernor 'ook red lights and the Hoppe
band and filled the court house with an
enthusiastic audience. Governor Hunt
talked on state issues and Judge Flenner
jollied the crowd with prediction OF
large democratic majorities.
GOVERNOR HUNT
The things that Governor Hunt forgot
to talk about are more remarkable than
the things he remembered. He forgot
that the people are very much interested
in the way he has conducted the affairs
in the management of our public institu.
tions. Governor Hunt is chargeable with
gross negligence in the. conduct Of :he
state penitentiary where recent investp
cation showed up fraud and ended in the
dismissal of the warden, c. F.. Arney.
but Governor Hunts skirts are not to be
cleared by the dismissal of Warden
Arney. He was forced into the investi-
CATION only by the eff,rts of the republic
can press Of Boise aud he whitewashed
Mr.. Arney before he dismissed him from
the public service. Governor Hunt did
not mention the Corcoran scandal where
he is charged with openly catering to the
lawless element in order to secure
political prestige There is the Albion
Normal trouble and the insurance money
job, little side issues that the Governor
would have the people forget, while he
told of other things. And even in the
things he remembered to talk about,
some pertinent facts were omitted. He
failed to state that the republican, levy Of
SO cents on the $Ioo Of taxable property
was made on valuatio, of $26, 900 600
and raised only $223,6oo and :hat the
democratic tax levy Of as cents on the
fIoo is made ON a valuation Of $6I ,ooo,-
600 and raises $28t $40. And it is today
costing the taxpayers Of Idaho $57, 600,
more to be ,un dy this economic demo-
cratic state administration" than 1t did to
be run by the republican administration

survey and the detailed plans will then
