Of q Shabby Man.


A certain New York man whose pank
account Ia 30 fat that 1t takes six fg-
ures to measure 1t used to go around
looking reprehensibly shabby. Recent
" there has been a change In his ap-
pearance. Nowadays his attire is real
ly good, and he shaves at least three
times q week.
One day the shabby looking man
went into ]. Pierpont Morgan's Office
on business connected with charity.
He asked to see Mr.. Clarke, who looks
after some Of the charity affairs In
which Mr.. Morgan Is interested.
"Nlr. Clarke is not In now" said one
Of the clerks. "If you will come tomor'
row you may be able to catch him, and
possibly he will help you q little"
The shabby looking man thought that
closing sentence sounded rather queer
Thank you" he said sarcastically
"You are very kind"
That's all right" replied the clerk
"I've been broke myself"
The shabby looking man saw light
"Oh," be said.
Since then the shabby looking mar
has ceased to be shastT,

MARINE MONSTERS.
rhe Sea Serpent Is Not Joke-He
Really Exists.

Really Extetss
There Is q belief current that INC SEQ
serpent has been laughed out OF ex-
istence. But this is not the case. EVIL
dence has been suppressed because OF
the knocking, incredulous hearers. But
today science has weighed, measured
and photographed sea monsters, ana
their reality Is established at last
Half a century ago a kraken was
stranded on the Danish coast, and the
scientific world heard Of 1t. From tnat
,me. year after year. these creatures
have been noted. In 1861 the warship
Alecton pursued one for three hours
fighting all the time. 1t was killed at
length. but its carcass was lost IN at
tempting to draw 1t on board. The
size was roughly estimated at eighty
feet from tip to tip. A clergyman
measured an arm which three New
foundland fishermen secured as a tro-
ply In 1913 after hand to hand hght
with one Of these monsters. Six feet
Ind been cut from 1t in the struggle,
and ten feet remained upon the body.
The intermediate portion was nineteen
feet long. One measuring flfty-six feet
was actually landed soon after, and II
now lies In the museum at st. johns.
The New York Aquarium has fine
specimen taken in 1877. Its body LIS
o feet 6 inches long and feet in cir
conference. and the arms stretch sixty
feet from tip to tip. Bigger specimens
are recorded-largest Of all that taken
In Logic bay and anchored to the shore
by grapnel-a single arm measuring
not less than forty-five feet. In 1910
some Connemara fishermen saw one or
these monsters asleep and assailed IT,
though they had no other weapons
than their knives. The fight lasted two
hours. till the men. keeping out OF
reach, had cut Off its limbs one by one
The tentace proved to be thirty rect
long. the eyes fourteen inches IN Oil
ometer and the beak four inches long.

II was sick or wounded before the dls'

ANY one who sails In small vessels
around the shores Of tropical coun'
try may see hundreds of snakes. III
the Brazilian seas they have been
caught thirty feet long. The crew OF

whales come into view. One Of them
was seen to be struggling In the grip
Of d gigantic serpent. the COILS OF

A HASTY TEMPER.
The Harm II Does Even Though the
Ugly Fit he soon over.

The H4Fm IL DoEh hNch Aho1hA -"
Ugly Fit BE sooH over.
It Is a remarkable thing that there
exists in peoples minds a distinct So
cial precedence among the vices.
To own oneself on intimate terms
with such a one as deceit or SANDER.
for instance, would be almost undreamt
of. but how often have we heard people
say, almost with pride, at any rate
with no trace of shame, II have very
hasty temperT And then as II to
transflgure It into very virtue they
triumphantly add. But 1t is soon over"
So 1t may be. but how about Its conse-
quencesi Are they soon Overt
There are few more dangerous enc
mies to the peace and comfort Of every
day life than the people who speak
hastily In the squalls of passing III tenn
per, and then, when they are restored
to good humor, expect everything to be
lust as 1t was before. There Is no such
position possible as lust as 1t was be-
fore" in this up and down hill human
nature of ours. Every act or word Is
a step by which we mount upward or
sink lower In the unhindered journey
ings onward Of all the conditions OF
life, and the people who give utterance
TO the determinations Of passionate tenn
pers unfailingly drop down in the esti-
nation Of others, from which 1t Ia a
stiff climb up again.
Moreover, words once uttered, whetn'
er true or false, are usually undying
and live on In hearts and memories
long after the careless bow that shot
such poisoned arrows forth is unstrung.
And though the utterer may plead that
to feed bis passion he said not what he
really believed, but what he thought
at the time would hurt most. 1t Is al
most impossible for the nearer to un'
derstand that the expression was not
that of a living though latent opinion
and to feel It accordingly.
The code of fashion in the moral
realms has decreed how much better 8
passionate temper is than a sulky one
but there Is something to be said IN
| favor Of the latter In that 1t only hurts
itself. Like the little girl who when
annoyed always ate her apple tart with
out sugar. the guilty person may suffer
most individually. but that Is surely
better than the suffering to the limo
cent caused by the random shots OF the
! fierce though short onslaushts OF
hasty temper. And silence is much less
generally disturbing than violence
though perhaps quite as unbecoming'
