porting themselves for a while hun
dred yards or so from the shore, Aher-
nathy left his companions behind, and
proceeded leisurely toward the center
of the harbor. He was about three
hundred yards from shore when he
was attacked by the man-eater. He
at once realized his danger and turn
ing back, cried Justify for help.
His cries were heard by Captain
Arpe of the Harrisburg. who, seeing
the giant fish, perceived the swim
ner's plight and instantly ordered his
boat to the scene of the danger. The
shark had seized the swimmers foot
at the instep, but Alternately fought
his assailant off with the other foot,
at the same time swimming with all
his might toward the advancing boat
Again and again the fish was shaken
OF, but not before he had badly
wrenched and lacerated the foot. Fin

soldier and carried him to the beach,
where he was conveyed by ambulance

more than half of the total number of
inebriates had drunken parents, and
IN addition twenty-eight had tuber-
cular parents.

The statistics as to the time when
the habit began of drinking or drug
using, which led to inebriety is ap-
palling. OF the 2s2 persons admitted
as confirmed drunkards 1903 began the

them state wards after they were so
