IN CLUTCH OF
A DEVILFISH,

A daring fight between a man and
an octopus occurred off Punaluu, island
Of Hawaii, a couple Of weeks ago. Wa
ha, native sailor on the steamer
Mauna Loa, was the victor of the fight
He displayed an unusual amount Of
recklessness, for he attacked the crea-
ture without any knife or implement.
The purser of the vessel saw the &C.
topus swimming near one of the small
boats from the steamer and called at
tention to the peculiar looking fish.
Waha, who wore only pair Of trou-
sers, saw that the thing was an enor-
nous sQuid. or octopus Without a
word he sprang overheard to attack
the creature. The sailor grabbed hold
Of two Of the tentacles near the beak
Of the monster, and then ensued the
most remarkable battle probably ever
witnessed by any white man in that
part of Hawaii.
The most vulnerable part Of an oc.
topus Is its eyes, and 1t was at these
spots that Waha made his onslaught
He fought with his teeth and hands.
The instant that. the octopus felt the
mans grip it dashed madly around and
then dived below the surface Of the va

up to W'aha's shoulders. and the mar
succeeded In getting a foothold on th.

A COW that devours linen is the
latest afliction which has come
upon the troubled Third ward. Re
ports Of the depredations of this
ferocious monster were brought
down from the east end Of the city

other COWS in appearance, but hers
is an entirely different appetite.
She is said to Scorn the nice green
grass that adorns the hills and dales

honored article of bovine diet and
takes herself to back yards, where
she proceeds, with billy-goat rapac-

AYERS this peculiar COW has de-
voured four Of her table linens.
She left the linens on the line
after washing them, and when she
got up the next morning to attend
to her household duties the linens
were gone. The coy stood near the
clothesline chewing contentedly on
the last bit of linen. Similar com
plants have come from other east
enders, and what to do with the COW
promises to become question of
more importance even than that af-
fecting the age of Ann or the
weight of brick and a half. The
COW is still enjoying her liberty and
the neighbors' linen. This story is
vouched for by G. II. Cooper, whose
reputation for truth and yeracity
is unquestioned.

Romeo and Juliet"

Simvelle's gorgeous reviv1l of
Shakespears's most moving play
of love and passion, Romeo and
Juliet, will be given in it's en-
tirety at the opera house Jan.
22nd
The present adaptation of this
drama is merely slight curtail-
ment of the originals; only one
uninportant transposition is
made. Following are the beauti-
full sentencesi n which the ce1e-
brated writer, Schlege1, seeks
to distill the spirit of our play
whatever is most Intoxicating
in the odor of southern spring,
languishing in the song Of the
nightingale, or voluptuous on the
frstopeningof the rose, is breath
ed into this poem. But, even
more rapidly than the earliest
blossoms of youth and beauty
decay, it hurries on from the
first timidly-bo1d declaration of
love and modest return, to the
unlimited passion, to an irrevoca-
BILE union; then, amidst alternat-
ing storms or RAPTURE and des-
pair, to the death of the two low
ers, who still appear enviable as
their love survives them, and as
by their death they have obtain
ed triumph over separating
power. The sweetest and the
bitterest, love an hatred, festivity
and dark forebodings, tender
embraces and 'sepulchers, the
fulness of life and self-simihila-
ton are all here brought close to
each other; and all these contrast
are so blended in the harmonious
and wonderful work into a unity
of impression, that the echo
which the whole leaves behind in
the mind resembles a single but
endless sigh"

kinship to Gen. Longstreet, but
always spoke of her courtship
and marriage, Gen. Grant and he
than being second 1ieutenants,
and assoc 'ated at the garrison
near his home. Longstreet, lat
er on, married a daughter of Col.
John Garland, of Virginia, COM
mander of the Eighth U. S.
Infantry of which Longstreet
was adJutant. Garland entered
the army as first lieutenant in
March, 1913, a colonel and briga-
der general. Although Long
street finally went into the paw
masters department, he left be-
hind him a spledid record of a
soldier in the Mexican war, and
his son James Longstreet, now a
first lieutenan< in the Thirteenth
U. S. Cavalry, will no doubt k ep
this name an honored one on the
army rolls. Gen. Longstreet
was famous soldier and a kind
hearted, genial gentleman, and it
is unfortunate that the grave has
closed over his mortal remains
during an unwise controversy.
