A BIG FISH STORY.
What Vas Found in the Stomach of a
Shark.

What Was Found in the Stomach Of y
Shark.
A prominent Government official who
has returned here from visit to Palnl
Beach, Fla, tells about seeing huge
man-eating shark that was captured
at that place one day. 1t was one OF
the biggest sharks ever caught in Flor.
ida waters and was evidently q sailor
Of many years. The animal measured
over eighteen feet long, had q sword
attachment that was IS long as all
arm, and was Of the leopard variety,
stamping it as of the man-catinG class
ard dangerous beast. The shark was
caught by shari! fisherman, who
makes T.: his business catching these
marine monsters. lie uses large rope
for line and has windlass for 4
reel. At the end Of tie line is q huge
steel hook, and this is baited with 4
large bright tin can. The big shark
bit at the bait and was entrapped. lie
was landed after the roushest time the
fisherman ever experienced. 1t was
the interior Of the fish, however. that
excited the .greatest interest. When
he was cut open q whole rorpolse was
found in the stomach. There was also
q large piece of partly disestcd shark
and the head Of an ostrich. The piece
Of shark inside the monster was out
Of the back, and contained the back
bone Of the Lcad animal. ~ careful
examination showed that the back
bones were larger than the backbones
Of the captured shark. testimony to
the fighting abilities Of the captured
shark. A number of scars on his body
showed that he had been in a conflict
with another shark, and the finding OF
the piece Of the adversary showed that
the conflict had ended in the death
of the opponent; that the victor had
then swallowed juicy portion of his
adversary. The presence of the ostrich
head in the stomach Of the man-ea!er
was regarded as urdoubted proof that
the shark had probably just arrived in
Florida waters from Africa, and that
he had. made tic trip in two CT three
days. The head was not digested, and
the process Of digestion had only just
begun. There is only one ostrich farm
in Florida, and when that institution
was communicated with the owners
said that they had not lost an ostrich
in year. The ability of shark to
pass fast steamer in Il minutes time
is we'll known to travellers, and there is
no doubt that the shark lad been In
African waters and had captured a
stray ostrich or the head Of one that
had been killed, and then started across
the Alta ltic, reaching the Flori5a wa
ters before the ostrich head had begun

Nothing is worse ,nan plain Ameri-
can cooking" says Mr.. Edgar Saltus,
in his article, "The Importance Of Be-
ing an Epicure," which is published
in Ainslee's for May A perusual OF
this article will convince the reader
that even plain French cooking will
hardly suit Mr. Saltus' fnical palate.
In the article may be found many valu-
able suggestions for tie hostess and
the chef. At least, they have that air,
from the exquisite literary expression
in which they are conveyed. Maybe,
after all, an ordinary chef Of talent,
with no regard for literary expression,
would have very little interest in Mr..
Saltus' preferred dishes. But then, as
Mr.. Saltus might say, he does not write
for chefs.

Women Made Strong and Happy
,r1otberS.
Catarrh of the Pelvic Organs is Fre-
quent Cause of Barrenness.
Pe-ru-na Eradicates Catar1h From
the System.

TO the woman of ancient Israel not to
become 4 mother was regarded as the
greatest OF earthly caIamities. To
become mothcr-morc especially the
mother of strong, healthy boy-was the
height of glory for the faithful woman OF
the good old Bible days. Even now, when
maternity is not esteemed rs of yore, the
mother of healthy children is an object
OF admiration, and sometimes envy, by her
neighbors. As compared with ancient
peoples, the average American woman has
low appreciation of motherhood. There
are, however, great many exceptions to
this statement.
The accompanying letters from grateful
women who have been made strong
healthy and happy mothers need no added
words of ours to make them convincing
Catarrh had weakened and impaired their
entire systems. Peruna made them sound
and well.

Those We're exciting days when man
/ forgot his thin veneer Of civilization
and displayed his savage origin. The

Of the best quarter sections, the fear
and lamentations of those who had
failed, and the awful intensity of the
calm which had prevailed days and
weeks before the final word was given
to throw open the land to the eager
public-all these pictures were burned
on Dorothy's brain so that they seemed
like some horrible nightmare. How
different it all had been from the quiet
New England village where she had
been reared.
"Why could she not have lived there
forever? What right had her father
to tear her from her home, root and
branch, and plunge into this wild,
lawless cauldron OF unrest and bitter
strivlngs?'
Dorothy brushed back n rebcllious
tear and turned away from the front
door Of the shack. She had never given
expression to such parental rebellion
before, and she half shuddercd Mt it,
BY way of apology, she added i'll al
undertone:
"Poor father! Hc suffers, too. He
has been disappointed and it is making
him old. Why did that man want to
come here?"
She looked bitterly across the dead
line" Henry Egcrton had just emerged
from his shack and stood, with hands
shading his eyes, watching her. Nearby

PARK PLAN READY
FOR APPROVAL.
Win be Submitted to
City Council at
Once.

The latest plan for improve
ment of the south park calls for
17S naples, 240 elms, and a few
evergreens and mountain ash,
about 425 IN all. The scheme
provides for two rows of elms
around the park on the outside.
Before these are set it would be
a good plan to run the road
grader around the outside a few
times, throwing the dirt in, in
stead of out, thus leveling and
giving it drainage. Further,
before the trees are set inside
the fence the ground should be
thoroughly narrowed and if a
roller can be secured it would
be we'll to roll it.
1t Is expected the city council
will approve the plan at the
first meeting and that the work
can be done at once. In the re-
vised diagram prepared by Mrs.
G. E. Lahman the circular and
also the diagonal drives are 30
feet in width, the paved circle
in the center to be $50 in diam
eter, the pool 5Ox1OO and the
pavilion 75x75.
The location of each tree
should be marked by a surveyor
or someone conversant with such
work in order that as a whole
the beauty and symmetry in
tended may be secured. 1t is
likely that very soon our people
who have signified a willing
ness to furnish trees or pay for
setting a given number will
have an opportunity to do so.
