Capturing a Shark On a Coral Rect.
captured yesterday inside the reef of
East Niu ranch, affording a great deal
of sport for those who took part in
the capture.
The water at this point is very shall
low for nearly mile and half out
from the shore. At low tide there is
from 18 inches to two feet of water
on it.
For several days past the surf has
been very high. Yesterday afternoon
1t seemed higher than ever, rolling
up over the coral reef in great break
ers. During the afternoon Emil A.
Berndt, who with a party of friends
was spending the day there, saw a
splashing about so yards from the
shore. Presently it became clear that
it was shark that had in some way
worked it's way for more than a mile
over the reef. The party had been
out shooting and had their rifles with
them. They fired number of shots
at the creature, Kidding it with bull
let's as was afterward shown, but ap.
parently without effect Then the
party went out and made a rope fast
to the sharks TAIL The great strength
of the sea monster enabled it to haul
the party around for quite a time, but
finally it was brought to shore and
killed.-Pacitic Commercial Adver.

Wine from Missouri.

Missouri is not often thought OF as
wine-producing state, yet recent
statistics compiled by the|State Board
of Agriculture show that the state
produces annually more than 100, 900
gallons of wine, and that more than
100000 pounds of grapes are raised
each year. These figures apply to
the products which are shipped out,
as no record can be kept of the large
amount of both grapes and wine that
are produced for home use.

THE SEA.


Come down with me to the moon-led sea,
Where the long wave GIBBS and fills
Are these the tides that follow
AS the lunar impulse Wills?
Nay, rather this is the heart Of God,
Naked under the sky,
And we hear its pulse with wonder
The shore. and the clouds, and l!
Unearthly. awful. uncompelled,
Eternity framed in clay.
The urge of exhaustless passions
Rocking beneath the gray!
It's life is the blood of the universe
Through cosmic arteries hurled,
With the throb of its giant pulses
God feeds the veins of the world!
And the lands are wrinkled and gray
with time
And scored with thousand scars
But the sea Is the soul of the Infinite,
Swinging beneath the stars!

Then, in a spirit of impartiality. Mr.,
Watson turned to the republican party

millions of homes of the people of this

1t is simply a question as to whether
the government shall run the railroads
or submit forever to the disgracetal
situation in which the railroads run the
government. Their corrupting influence
is felt and seen all the way upward
from the town council to the Judge

senate of the United States, and from
the senate to the railroad commissions,
whether state or national. The great

1t would put the burden of government

to live.

They were all somehow looking at

cate workings of the Anglo-Saxon
brain, and this black creature knew
that his master had incurred the dis
pleasure of his neighbors. Cranston
seemed TO feel that he ought to speak,

CULTIVATE THE SAVING
SENSE OF HUM0R.

It Is commentary on the conditions
of modern life that 1t is the funny in
dividual who is most in request. It Is
not too much to say that it is the comic
singer who makes the most money In
his particular profession. The low CO.
median, as the humorous actor is usu-
ally designated, reaps more OF the
golden harvest and enjoys a greater
popularity than the tragedian. The
lighter journals and newspapers have
larger circulation than the solid, heavy
publications. Why?
The most plausible explanation is
that modern life is quite full enough Of
worries and tears without adding to the
stock of such disagreeable commodities
by going to theater to be narrowed by
similar experiences portrayed in MINI
icry. Some people may be able to say,
with the mythical young lady, I'VE did
enjoy the performance; we cried all the
EVENING" The majority, however. are
satisfied with the crying they are
forced to do and do not care to pay In
order to indulge in further weeping.
The Fighter vein" of journalism Is pre-
ferred by the same majority because It
affords relaxation.
The man or woman who can interest
you by relating a good story OF per-
sonal experience or otherwise with
hearty laugh in 1t holds the circle of
acquaintance at a party. True, some OF
the SO called funny" persons degener-
ate into something approaching the ID
lotto, but these we win leave out Of the
question.
What is the obvious moral Of this
statement Of facts? 1t is moral PEE
culiariy important to our sex. It Is,
use every endeavor to be cheerful. The
example of a wife. mother or sister In
household is of far greater value than
most people suppose. Life is beset
with worries great and small, and
multitude of small, constantly recur-
ring worries will do more mischief than
| one great trouble.
Let it be your task to chase away the
effects of the vexatious happenings and
induce a smile when the family reas-
sembles in the evening. And II you
can make that smile develop into
laugh now and then do not fail to seize
the opportunities. You will be admins
istering a wonderful tonic to your dear
ones.
1t comes rather hard on a woman
who has her own worries to crowd
those aside and assume cheerful de-
meanor in order to smooth away the
frown on the mans brow. Why not
reverse the advice and tell him to put
on a cheerful air in order to make his
wife happy? Well, to put 1t plainly, a
woman is apt to be less selfish in this
respect than man. He usually thinks
that he has had all the trouble and that
she has only had ito keep the house
going. which is generally mere trifie
in his eyes. Take no notice of this, but
do your utmost to induce gayety into
the home life, and you will find your
cheerfulness will become catching;
YOU viii find that cheerfulness and
nuiet humor form splendid invest
ment in the home circle.
