TABoGA BILL OF PANAMA.

One Of the Biggest and Oldest Sharks.
From Panama comes the sad news
that Taboga Bill is dead, Thus passes
away perhaps the Oldest inhabitant OF
that uncanny region and certainly one
of its most picturesque ones Taboga
Bill was a shark-a huge, ugly, mud
colored, tiger shark, with black stripes
around his body ad double rows of big,
saw-edged teeth. Now tiger sharks are
quite numerous and common around
Panama, but Bill was decidedly un-
common member of his species. He de-
rived his name from his habitat which
was in the waters around the pretty IS
land of Taboga, near Panama City, a
place where vessels find a safe, cool
anchorage, away from the miasmatie
breezes of the inner harbor and untrou-
bled 10y the mosquitoes. 1t is the prin'
2lpal watering place of the vicinity.
From time without record Taboga
Bill has been a denizen Of the waters
around Taboga island. He was known
to travellers there who are now ending
their lives from old age, and he was
known to others still earlier, The max
imum age of a shark is not known pos
itively, but Taboga Bill undoubtedly
reached the maximum.
He was differenA from other sharks II
many ways. He was monster in size
The lowest estimates placed his length
at eighteen feet. Some went higher
into fanciful dimensions. He certainly
looked big when he was swimming
around in the water, just far enough
below the surface to be proof against 6
rifle bullet. He was a crafty old fel
low, too, seeming to have learned grea
wisdom and cunning with his advan
cling years. He seemed to lead
charmed life, and for generations sail
ors and others have tried to kill him
but without success, as Bill was toc

either on or off the ball field.
In these days captains were not per-
mitted to ia ekplayers out of the game
except in cases of illness or injury. One
day viii White was getting his bumps
hard, and the runs were pilling up
against him. Commy saught sight of

house and scented a trick. White lasted
out the inning, and was first to bat. He
reached first and on the first ball
pitched started to steal second. An
attempt to steal second by White was
a farce at any time, and Commy saw
what was coming. Sure enough, White
slid, and instead of getting up began
writhing and grooming IN the ground
holding his leg. The players rushed
around and still White wrlthed and
groaned.
ooh, oh, oh; my legs broke"
mo, no, no. but your hearts broke, :"

! And White, forgetting all about his
broken leg, got up and wanted to
fight.
Bill Lange used to Gull off a trick
that set catchers wild, and it vas this
trick that made nim the cnampion base

Of continuing, would stop short and
grin at the catcher, who was in posi-
ton to throw The moment the catcher
started to throw the ball back to the
pitcher or to shoot it to first Lange
would make a dash for second, and
eight out of ten times would land in
safety. He always claimed that he
could beat the delayed throw much
easier than a tsraight throw from the
catcher to second.

never satisfied, and grabbed everything
that came his way in the shape of food,
from a potato to a man-for he was a
man eater-proyided there was no hook
or other snare about it. Bill was wary
enough to keep shy of baited hooks. He
was sly enough-possibly from some
narrow escapes in his tarly youth-to
know when people were after HIM, and
he always fooled them. That is, he
nearly always fooled them. He was
winged once by shot from an Amer
lean man-of-war lying in the harbor
and lost part of a fin. This was about
fifteen years ago, and the wounded fin
was an additional method or recognize
ing Bill. 1t appeared to be the only
wound he ever got, unless he had few
minor hurts when a baby shark, which
gave him knowledge and developed his
fact.
Sailors all over the wide world will
mourn the death of Bill. He was to
Panama bay what the pyramids are to
Egypt or the Acropolis to Athens. He
was one of the sights of the place, and
every sailor who has not seen him has
surely heard of him from more fortu-
nate shipmates. The details of the old
veterans death have not yet been
learned in San Francisco. Perhaps he
got careless in his dotage and permit
ted some energetic hunter to get toe
close to him. At any rate it is safe to
assume that he died heroically, for old

THE CoAr THAT COST SIS, 1000


"Apropos Of overcoats," said a New
York tailor who gets the cream of the
metropolitan trade. II made a coat
not long ago which cost the owner
$4,000. 1t had a Russian sable lin
ing, with a shell of quality proper
tionately rich. A Russian sable skin
is not very large, you know, not as
large as a goo sized mink, in. fact,
and it takes about so to make lining.
The average cost per skin is some
thing like 5000, so you can readily
see where the value comes in. No,
admit | don't make many like this,
and don't care to. After the skins
were brought here by my client that
coat had my entire thought until it
was completed and delivered, and of
course | had to insure it all the while
it was in work.
I'm spite of its great cost such a
garment would not stand much hard
usage. The sable is very fine and
delicate fur, almost to as great de-
gree as chinchilla, but it is undeni-
ably rich and beautiful, and that it is
so highly favored by those who can
afford it is, on that account, not tc
be wondered at, though l suppose
if coon skin were rare and valuable
it would have quite as enviable
yosue among the exclusive. But ii
isn't a question of wear with those
who can indulge in the luxury o.
sables. In fact, I believe to mention
itc WEARING Qualities would seem g
positive demerit with some; at any
rate, it would not be much of rec
omrnendation. Mans Wear

HOW TO TOTE A TEN-PTN BALL.

HOW TO TOTE A TEN-PIN BALL.
There is pathos in much Of the labor
that goes to make up the days work;
it is pathetic because, demanding and
receiving, as it does, honest and persis-
tent effort, 1t serves no useful purpose,
For example, somebody has observed
that proficient ten-pin players usually
own and carry frcm alley to alley the
ball to which they have become accus-
toned; and so some genius has perfect
ed a device intended to make this sort
of transportation easy, if not particu-
larly profitable. A handle attachment
is fastened to the ball by means of q
combination lock Suspended from the
handle Is. an expansible shank which Is
Inserted III one Of the finger sockets Of
tile ball, This shank engages with the
walls Of the finger hole, the shank be-
ing expanded or contracted by turning
the handle, In conjunction with the
shank is a catch for locking the handle
which fits on the inner side of the arms
of said handle and is secured by a pin
which enters the top of the shank and
is held in position by an ordinary
spring,
The description makes it appear that
this Continuance is very simple-almost
as simple as a split-second watch, But
why experiment with it? A bowling
ball is a handy thing to take around
anyway; far handler than a harp or a
bull fiddle or a hand-organ strapped to
the shoulders, and people travel miles
with bull fiddles, handorgans and
| harps.

1t up and heaye 1t again, thus reaching
the field or hotel by easy stages and
saving wear and tear on his arms.
There seems to be no good reason why
