cooked, Is a very dainty edible, with a
fine flavor. The dogfish feeds on lob

"Fighting
Jin1's" Claim

lOriginalI
In the days when the forty miners In
California were hunting for the big
mines that afterward became bonan-
zas man appeared in Billion guleh
and located claim. He was a power
full fellow and a bully, and 1t was not
long before bis neighbors were afraid
Of him. He didn't trouble them TO re-
member his name, and they gradually
got used to calling him Fighting jim
One day Jim told his neighbors that
he was going to Frisco. lie intended
leaving his cabin unlocked and his
claim unprotected "just for the fun.
he said, "of seein' some galoot jumper,
when / get back, bunzin' IN the one O.
workin' the other" Then he added,
"Ye'H see somepin happen" With this
he departed.
There was none Of the people Of Bill
lion gulch 50 rash as to interfere with
either Of Jim's properties. Several
strangers came along. took look at
the claim, were duly warned and de-
parted Jim's belongings were consid-
cred as safe as If he had left dozen
men for its protection.
One day a young fellow came to the
gulch, asked a great many questions
about the prospects Of gold, claims to
be had and claims not to be had. Incl
dentally Jim's claim was mentioned,
with the usual warning. That night
light was observed In Jim's cabin, and
the next morning the stranger was at
work in Jim's claim. A self constituted
committee of the most prominent citi-
zens proceeded to the hole that had
been dug and kindly Informed the
youngster that he was not only wasting
his time, but that Jim, when lie re-
turned, would necessitate their burying
the jumper at the public expense. The
fellow put his hand in his pocket and,
taking out a bag of gold dust, re-
Marked
'I'm no sponge to bring unnecessary
expense on my neighbors Take that
for security With that he resumed
his pick and the committee departed
to spread the news through the gulch
that there was iunatic working
Jim's claim and the gulch was sure on
Jim's return to be disgraced by its first
murder.
In a couple Of weeks Jim returned.
He gathered all he met into the prin-
cipaI saloon OF the town to drink to his
return, and several citizens took adj
vantage of the fact to break the news
Of the jumping Of his cabin and his
claim and to strive TO induce Jim to
bring no disgrace ON the hitherto peace
full community. Their efforts were
vain. Jim had scarcely heard Of the
outrage when. hitching his revolver
forward, he left the saloon in hot haste
to wreak vengeance on the stranger.
The crowd followed with bated breath.
On nearing the mine the peaceful
sound Of the pick was heard. Jim, dis
daining to take advantage Of an IN
warned enemy. strobe ND empty hand

went on picking the earth, and Jim
growled;
"Hello, you, theren
The youngster turned his oval face,
delicate except the mouth, which was
firm as adamant, and replied;

Jim stood paralyzed, and the jumper

which had apparently passed into the
control OF the stranger. Then sudden
" the jumper disappeared. AS soon
as he had gone Jim stopped work. His
old associates expected that he would
reveal the mystery, but he maintained
absolute silence. Weeks passed, then
months. Occasionally Jim would wan

time, but was careful of his potations
and his words
One dry letter came to Jim bearing
a New York postmark. From the mo-
ment Of its reception Jim was again

NEW STEAM ROAD RAIL.
invention TO Prevent Accidents At
trIbuted to "spreadfng Rails

invention TO Prevent Accidents Ar
tributed TO "spreadfne Rails"
]. @. Allendorph of KANSAS City. Mo,
has devised a steel rail which may re-
place the standard rail now in use by
the railroads Of the United States. The
new invention has been shown to 300
railroad operating officials, and all
have pronounced it a much better and
more practical rail than the standard
rail now in use, says the Kansas City
Star.
The present rail is five and one-half
inches high and has a Eve and one-hah
inch base. 1t is solid. Mr. Allendorph's
rail Is four inches high and has q six
inch base. 1t is a hollow rail. Anoth-
or improvement which some officials
consider the best part Of the invention
is the device for connecting the rails.
Instead Of the fish plates now in use
the rail is Joined by means Of plate
two feet long. six inches wide and car
rying an upright the length Of the plate
which fits into the hollow of the two
rails to be connected a complete and
satisfactory connection is readily made.
The particular advantage Of the in
vention is that it win prevent the many
accidents which are attributed to
spreading rails AS a matter Of fact,
the phrase spreading rails is mis-
homer. The train ia striking the rail
rounding a curve forces the rails over
and upside down, causing a wreck.
With the height of the rail reduced
from five and one-half to four inches
and resting on a broader base than the
present standard rail the chance for
an accident from spreading rails IS
greatly minimized if not entirely elm
mated
The present standard rail carries
ninety pounds to the yard Mr.. Allen
dorph's rail carries but seyenty-seven
pounds TO the yard With steel at the
present quotations, SOS a ton, there is
a difference in cost in favor Of the AZ
lendorph rail Of S571.76 a mile. Mr..
AIlendorph is confident Of securing the
adoption of the rail by the larger sys-
tens Of the country. Mr., Allendorph
has been railroading for twenty years.

The Truth:
People with whole health eat natural
