Whales Mysterious Enemy

While operating fishery on Admiralty Island, Alaska. last summer. says cor respondent of Forest and Stream" my attention and the attention of the fishing crew was almost daily directed to a large marine creature that would appear in the main channel of Seymour canal and our mediate vicinity.
 There are large numbers of whales of the species rorqual there, and the monster seemed to be their natural enemy. The whales generally travel in schools, and while at the surface to blow one would be singled out and attacked by the fish. and battle was soon in order.
 It is the nature of the rorqual to mako three blows at intervals of from two to three minutes each. and then sound deep and stay beneath t.ie surface for thirty or forty minutes.
 As whale would come to the surface there would appear always at the whales

right side and just about where his head would connect with the body, a great long tail. or fin. Judged by five fishermen and number of Indians after seeing 1t about fifteen times at various distances" to be about twenty-four feet long, two and one half feet wide at the end. and tapering down to the water, where it seemed to be about eighteen inches in diameter, look ing very much like the blade or fan of an old-fashioned Dutch windmill.
 This great club was used on the back of the unfortunate whale in such a manner that it was a wonder to me that every whale attacked was not instantly killed. It's operator seemed to have perfect con trol of It's movements. and would bend 1t back till the end would touch the water. forming a horseshoe loop. then with a sweep it would be strengthened and brought over and down on the back of the whale with whack that could be heard for, several miles. If the whale was fortunate enough to submerge his body before the blows came, the spray would fly for distance of 100 feet from the effect of

the strike making a report as loud as yachts signal gun
 what seemed most remarkable to me was that no matter which way the 'at- tackled whale went. or how fast (the usual speed is about fourteen knots) that great club would follow right along by its side and deliver those tremendous blows at in- teryals of about four or five seconds, 1t would always get in from three to five blows at each of the three times the whale would come to the surface to blow The whale would generally rid itself of the enemy when it took its deep sound. espe- cially if the. water was forty fathomsl or more deep.
 During the day the attack was always off shore but at night the whales would be attacked in the bay and within 400 yards of the fishery.
 l do mot know of any whales being killed, but there were several that had great holes and sores on their backs. Questioning the Indians about it. was told that there was only one that it had been there for many years and that 1t once attacked an Indian canoe and with one stroke of the great club mashed the canoe into splinters. killing and drowning several of it's occupants.

 It was stated recently in newspapers.

ls YOUR STOMACH ON A
STRIKE?
There Is Nothing to Prevent You En-.
ploying a Substitute to
Do Its Work.

There is such thing as forbear-
ance ceasing to be a virtue even In the
case of ones stomach. There is no
question but that some stomachs will
stand a great deal more wear and tear
and abuse than others, but they all
have their limit and when that limit
Is reached, the stomach must be reck-
oned with as sure as fate. The best
way and really the only effective way
to treat your stomach when it rebels
is to employ a substitute to do it's
work. This will give the weakened
and Worn-out organ an opportunity to
rest and regain it's strength and health.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets relieve
the stomach Of it's work by taking up
the work and doing it just as one set
or shift of workmen relieves another
They actually digest the food in Just
the same manner and just the same
time as the digestive fluids Of a sound
stomach do. In fact, when dissolved
in the stomach, they are digestive flu
Ids, for they contain exactly the same
constituents and elements as the gas
trio juice and other digestive fluids
condition Of the stomach is, their work
Is just the same. They work in their
own natural way without regard to
surrounding conditions.
The stomach being thus relieved by
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, is restored

of the human body does not suffer in
the least by reason Of its failure to
perform it's work. ~..

REFERENcn To rHR HAeuE.
United States May Suggest s1ch .
 Step to Russia.


 Washington, Dec. 1.-The State Depart method of settlement of the Manchurian question satisfactory to all parties by submitting the question as to when and how Russia shall evacuate Manchuria, if at all. to The Hague. This proposition already has been broached In Europe. where 1t has attracted the attention of publicists. and it may be that the United States Government as the party in tn- terest best situated to urge the plan upon the Russian Government, will find itself able to do this. G3xE
 Mir. wu, when Chinese Minister at Washington. was an ardent advocate of the arbitration theory, but beyond secur- ing the moral support of the State De- part, was unable to accomplish much. Coming as 1t now does from Russian sources to this country, the plan to sub init the vexed evacuation question to The Hague has gained strength.
 It is pointed out by persons who are urging the proposition that this particular question, as 1t does involve the Russian national honor, is one which falls dis tinctly within the list of subjects contem- plated by The Hague agreemen as proper for arbitration, and as the Russian Cow comment always has expressed itself as favorable to the settlement of proper in- ternational questions by this means. some interest is expressed as to the reception which would be given to a proposition by the United States to have The Hague tribunal arbitrate all questions growing out of the treaty of April 8, 1SOS, between China and Russia.

Dr.Miles'Heart Cure and
 Nervine Cured Me.

Where the symptoms of heart disease and weakness are present together with those of nervous trouble, much benefit may be de- rived from the use of both Nervine and Heart Cure. The Nervine quiets the weary brain and brings sweet sleep, 1t brings the needed nourishment to the nervous system, restores neEve-force, vitality and energy. The action ot the Heart Cure is equally beneficial. It aids the good work of Nerwine by enriching the blood, improving the circulation and by its tonic action steadying and restoring the heart beats or pulse to their normal activity.
 Some years ago while was connected with the Western Nebraska Conference as Presiding Elder, was 30 overworked that became greatly run down in health and sui teTed tor two years with serious nervous pros tfation and heart trouble.

Paris. Oec. l.=The Associated Press learns that Japan and Russia are on the verge of a settlement of the Far Eeastern controversy, which promises to dissipate the war cloud that has been hanging over both countries.
 This settlement will be the result Of the negotiations which have been in progress for some time past and which were as- sisted by the friendly representations or France to Russia and of Great Britain to Jauan: The two nations have precti- caIIy agreed upon the basis of treaty, inc sfTning of which can be prevented onIv hv some unexpected developments. The basis of this Forthcoming agreement follows:

In exchange for this cofi- eassion. Japan will adcept Russia's treaty with China. respectink Manchuria.
 It is believed, trodgh this cannot be stated as positive, that Japan and Rus sla will.reiterate their support of the prin- cipaes of the -'open door" and the integ- rity of China and of Korea.
 Tn diplomatic and official circles here, considerable qualification is expressed at the satisfactory stage upon which nego- fiations between Russia and Japan have now entered.
 Before the recent visit of Count Lams- dorf, the Russian Foreign Minister to Paris, on which occasion he accompanied the Cxar France and Great Britain, as a result of the entent existing between them, had agreed to use their influence with Russia and Japan respectively for the purpose of securing an amicable agreement of the question in dispute.
 When Count Lamsdorff arrived, M. Deieasse, the French Foreign Minister, took occasion to point out the interest which France had In peaceful solution o9 the d3ficulty. At the same time, M. Delcasse told Count Lamsdorff that it

was clearly understood that no matter what the result, there would be no change, generally speaking, in the atti- tude of France toward Russia.
 Count Lamsdorff fully appreciated the delicacy of the French representation, but explained that the policy of the Rus sian Government tended to peaceful solution.
 In the meantime, Great Britain had been making energetic representations to the Tolxio Government
