watching him out of sight we pulled
ashore at the village of Wember, with
ship and cargo a total loss, and no
man having saved anything except the
clothes on his back
AS for the giant squid, we all saw
him as the whale struck the reef, but
when we had lowered the boats and
pulled away he had loosened his hold
on the sinking wreck and disappeared
from sight. 1t may be that the wreck
he had caused became his home after
sinking into the depths of the cool,
green sea.
Ship and cargo were fully insured,
but the company refused to pay the
loss on the grounds that it was neither
storm nor the ordinary perils of the
sea. A jury decided against it, how
ever, and the Hope was probably the
only craft in the world to be lost un-
der such strange circumstances. Two
days after the wreck, as we learned
later on, ship at sea met with our
whale. The leviathan was dead and
floating on the surface amid a great
.tangle of cordage, and a portion of
one of the squids tentacles was still
undevoured in his jaws.

SQUID AND WHALE.
IBy M. Quad.l


We were coming down the Bay of
Bengal in the brig Hope. bound from
Calcutta to Liverpool. when calm
fell upon the sea and all night long we
lay without further motion than the
heave of the ground swell. When
morning came there was no sign OF
wind and the watch was washing
down decks when strange thing hap
pened.
The brig was suddenly lifted up and
thrown on her beam ends, and strug-
Cling out from under her bottom. but
held along side on the port side, came
a whale sixty feet long and a gigan-
tic squid OF octopus. The whale had
one of the squid's tentacles in his
mouth and tearing at 1t, While the
seven others We're wrapped around
him lipe so many ropes The body OF
the squid was double the size of
hogshead. and his tentacles at the
base were the size of a mans arm and
from ten to fifteen feet long. We
found it's prey deep down and started
to make dinner of him, but IN the
fight that ensued the octopus had
been drawn to the surface and by a
strange chance the pair had come up
under the briggs keel
Before we had recovered our wits
the brig was on a level keel and under
way again, and never did craft have
a stranger tow. The Squid released
two of his arms and attached them to
the forward keel of the brig. While the
others held even tighter than before,
and away we went through the water
at the rate of five or six miles an hour,
the whale doing the towing and the
squid acting as towrope.
When the big fish found himself fast
alongside he was terribly frightened,
and as for u.s. we didn't propose to
run any risk to chop him loose. From
six o'clock in the morning till ten at
night we were tOwed toward the south
and almost in a straight course Twenty
different times in that interval the
whale tried to break away, but his eff
forts, though tremendous. were always
in vain. AT ten o'clock he had exhaus-
ted himself and lay without motion Tor
over two hours.
What he would do when he recover
ed his strength and had time to think
things over was a question OF serious
import to US. but we could do nothing
but wait Heretofore he had not
used his tail one blow of which would
have smashed in our hulwarks for
distance of thirty feet, but there was
no telling what he would do when he
started off again.
Along about midnight. when all was
quiet and most of the watch was doz-
ing, the leviathan suddenly tried to
sound There was light enough to see
him plainly and the mate was looking
over the side at the time. railing IN

bable that the voting place for the new
precinct will be at Benson's store, on
Sixth street about the center of the
cluster of annexatiOns which constitute
the new precinct.
People who live in this precinct will
vote for all the officers for which the
rest of the Second ward votes, except
the candidates for representative. The
same will be true in the fall election.
AT the same time the above mentioned
tracts were annexed to the Second ward,
number of other tracts were annexed
to the Fifth and Sixth wards, but these
will not have to go into a precinct by
themselves, because the Fifth and Sixth
wards are already part of the Thirty
ninth district. and all of the tracts an
nexed came out of the Thirty-ninth dis
trict.
Four years ago there was case sim
liar to this one here in Topeka. A
change was made in the city boundaries
which necessitated the creation of new
precinct in which were just three voters.

fast The arms of the octopus were
like wire cables The whale worked
away like a steam engine before he
would realize his helplessness, and then
he went away to the south at pace
that was recorded in the log at ten
miles an hour. The run lasted about
fifty minutes. Then the pace proved
too much for him. and he slackened
down about one-half, and he kept at
that till long after daylight.
There were three ships in sight as
day broke, none of them being over
four miles away, and as we were seen
to be moving along with all sails furled
and almost against the wind, all of
them signaled to know what was
wrong. AS we could not signal the
sentence, I'VE are being towed by a

The creation of the new precinct is

state law does not recognize the five

the Second. Third and Fourth wards of

law, the five tracts must still vote for
the Thirty-ninth district candidates.

captain ordered the boats provisioned
and made ready for the worst. At
high noon. with the brig making a
steady four miles an hour, the island
of Mas was hove UP over the bows,
and at four o'clock in the afternoon
was only five miles away. The whale
held for it as if he intended to run
ashore, but at two miles distance, in
water about fifteen feet deep, he struck
rock or a reef. and was held fast
while the brig ran on to him.
We saw what was coming and took
to the boats, but it was a close shave
from being swamped by the heavy
seas kicking up. AS the keel of the
brig hit the whale he hammered her
until he knocked her bows to pieces.
The reef caught her keel at the same
time, but after being held fast for a
moment she surged over it to sink like
a stone in the deep waters beyond.
The whale rested after his frantic
struggles, and the blood which. stained
the sea proved that he was badly hurt.

And Still Re Agreeable, Attractive and
Popular-A Certain Cure in Reach of All.
There is nothing that will put you to
the front so rapidly in the business or
social world as a cheerful disposition
and pleasant appearance. Other
things being equal people will go out
OF their way to give the fellow a lift
who always wears a cheerful counten-
ance. The man or woman with
cranky disposition and a sour face will
always meet with an Indifferent if not
chilly reception. The commercial
traveller, who is the recognized business
barometer, appreciates better than any
one the value of this rule and governs
his actions accordingly.
Dyspepsia destroys all the agreeable
qualities that enter into a man or wo-
mans makeup. 1t is almost a human
fmpossibility for anyone with a severe
case of dyspepsia to look pleasant. The
continuous, miserable, cast-down feel
ing is bound to make itself shown in
the appearance and conversation.
Stuart's DYSPEPSIA Tablets are the suf-
ferer's certain cure. They are so rec
ognized all over the world. The cures
they have brought about and the hap
piness they have caused and the suf-
Tering they have relieved has made
their name q household word in all the
English-speaking world.
The reason that Stuart's DYSPEPSIA
Tablets are q certain cure is that they
are q natural cure. There is nothing
to prevent them curing. They contain
the essential ingredients of the diges-
tive fluids of the stomach and simply
do the identical work of the stomach.
relieving that weakened organ and per-
hitting it to rest and recuperate. Could
anything be more simple or natural ?
They are bound to cure. They cannot
help themselves. 1t is just like putting
a new stomach into a man-if that
were possible-and letting the old one
go off on a vacation. Rest is what it
needs. Nature will do her own work of
restoration, never fear.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are for
sale by all druggists at so cents q box.
All druggists means all druggists. They
have become so necessary to the people
that the druggist simply has to keen
them anyway. There are other reme-
dies that he can make much more
money on if he could sell them, but he
can't. He will not take chances on los
ing his customers by not always having
on hand a supply of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets.
