Stops Over En- Route From
New York to Johnnie.
WILL NOT SELL MINNIE MAY.
Disposed Of Oyer $1,000. 900 Worth OF

one OF the richest gold producers In
a section OF rich mines His mussion
In New York was for the purpose OF In
teresting eastern capitalists IN certain

he was peculiarly successful, having
returned with commission from G. $.
Sesinger. Robert Purcell and others OF
New York to purchase the Jonnie Con-
solIdated Gold Mining company for ST.

though I've come pretty near to it several
times.
"There was one about 1899 when the cell

line between Maine and New Brunswick
was raging, and our soldiers were robbing
all the henneries in Maine, that you ought
to know about.

Frankfort. After we had broken out the
cargo and were clearing up the dunnage
the crew found a live alligator in the hold

It was an ugly brute, about 10 feet long,

stories about a big sea serpent in every
village along the river The people OF
Belfast were so worked up that men in
boats went out and hunted the bay as far
as Castine for the beast.
Later 1t was seen playing among the
rocks off Isle au Haut, and the residents
were so scared that revenue cutter was
sent down TO hunt for the monster. Then
it was seen off Southwest Harbor, on
Mount Desert Island, playing pranzs with
the fishermen and soaring the women

escaped. | am very certain that the sea
serpent that was seen by the stonecutters
in the waters of Ninalhaven. Hurricane

was a survivor of the disaster of that
winter
his particular specimen was a very
fast swimmer. II was able TO outstrip

men who tried TO capture Il told mar
velous stories about the creature s size
and ieats of agility. but the Maine liquor
law had not been adopted then. and good
Porto Rico rum could be bought at all
grocery stores at three cents a glass.
" The most exciting story about the sea
serpent was told by che men who netted
heulngs near Eastport during the Presi-
DENTAL contest between Buchanan and
Fremont, in 1856. After the gale of Sen

STORY OF sHERIpANs PARENTs.

How They Received the News of Their
Sons Victory in Shenandoah Valley.
Youths Companion
One Of the sweetest and most pathetic
war stories is about the Sheridans. father
and mother Of Gen. Phil Sheridan.
The old people were living at Somerset,
o., when word came that Gen. Sheridan
had suffered a great defeat in the Shenan-
doah Valley. They slept none that night,
but in the morning the old gentleman said:
Mother, have thought it all out Phil
WASH { there when the fight began. That
is what the paper said. It would not be
like our boy to remain away throughout
the battle. AS / make it out, Phil re-
turned in time to save the day. III 20 to
the store and wait until the paper comes,
get the news and hurry back. / don Z
believe there anything to worry about. 3"
81 hope you are right, father, but m
afraid yesterday s news was correct. Phil
has had so much good luck I'm afraid
he s had bad luck in this battle.
Old Mr.. Sheridan was sitting on the
steps in front of the store when a man
rode up and called out, Good news from
Sheridanl"
Then one Of the bystanders caught up
the morning paper and read the account
Of Sheridan's s return TO the army, Of his
turning the tide, Of the Presidents mes
sage Of thanks, Of Sheridan 5 heroic con-
duct and the complete rout of the enemy.
The paper said it was one Of the greatest
victories OF the war.
That was enough for Mr.. Sheridan. He
started on a trot to tell Mrs. Sheridan the
news about her sons greatest battle.
She saw him coming and hurried to the
gate 20 get the tidings from Cedar Creek.
"Glory to God, mother, glory to Godl
Phil licked emil The President has sent
him the country thanks, and the paper
says it was one Of the greatest fights Of
the war. knew Phil would get back in
time to save the day"
The old couple hugged and kissed and
kissed and hugged again and again.
r After they had gone into the house the
old lady suddenly became very sober.
"Wh8t 4 the matter, mother ?"
"Father, did the paper say anything
about John 2"
"No, but you know Phil would have
sent dispatch if anything had happened
to John"
John was another son, a private IL
Sheridan s army in the valley.
