IN the campaign, and on one occasion
Solicitor Eichelberger was chased three
miles by gang OF hoOdlums- When
finally cornered he drew his revolver
and threatened to shoot. His assailants
backed away leaving him victor on
the bloodless field.
The Mayor has not been secure in his
office. however. and he has TO fight to
reta his crown. Russell Il Hunt. his
bitterest political enemy, drew up a
petition to oust him. ana was nearly
successful. Solicitor Eichelberger saved
the day by finding a flaw in the petit
tion. Hunt is now working on another
petition to merge the village in the
township. but Mayor Harry saws he
will remain Mayor if he has to pay
all the taxes in the village.
Il have given the village good gov
ernment." said the Mayor the other
day. Our taxes are the lowest In the
State I have a model village. and I
sincerely believe I am the best Mayor

"One of the most interesting denizens
OF the water" said the natural history
collector. lis the shark 1t is found
IN all seas and occupies a prominent
place in the mythology, folk lore, reli-
g1on and domestic economy Of all coun-
tries bordering on salt water.
The shark is undoubtedly dog with
q bad name, but IL really does not de-
serve half the bad things said of it
While an unmitigated nuisance and ex-
pense in many ways, especially to fish
ermen, yet IL subserves a most neces-
sary purpose, namely, that Of scaven-
ger Of the seas
Like the goat and the ostrich on
land. the shark will swallow almost
anything that comes its way, be it a
man a horse, feathered fowls. bottles,
tin-cans, rope or pieces Of wood. The
species known as man eaters have been
known 10 attack human beings, but
they rarely DO so unless driven to it by
extreme hunger, or If the person be
floating on the surface or slowly swim
ming along. a vigorous movement on
the part OF the swimmer is very apt TO
scare away any shark
The shark family comprises many
members, there being sixty-two distinct
species in North American waters alone.
Many OF these bear peculiar common
names, viz. Frilled, COW, dog, bullhead,
cat nurse, requiem, hammer headed,
thresher, backing, man eater, mackerel,
bramble and angel While many are
comparatively small, others attain a
great size
ENORMOUS MAN EATERS.
a man eater was captured in Mon
terey Bay a few years ago which
measured thirty-two feet in length.
Another canght near Sequel was about
thirty feet long and had a young sea
lion weighing about 100 pounds in its
stomach
In 1904 an Italian fisherman caught
q shark twenty feet long and weighing
$500 pounds in a net in San Francisco
Bay In it's stomach were six large
porpoises which the animal had swal-
lowed whole.
7 helped to open up one in the
and found in its stomach the body of
q man, complete from the waist down
with the exception of one leg, also some
ducks. tin cans, etc. The body was
identified later as that of a man who
had disappeared about ten days before
while bathing of Koko Head The
shark was twenty feet long
'In order to give an idea of how easy
II would be for man eater to swallow
q fu11-grown man, prepared the skele-
ton Of a fourteen-foot man eater, and
after the jaws were dried separately
and propped open I was able TO crawl
through them without the slightest
difhculty.
The most remarkable shark ever
caught was secured by Fred Miller of
Tacoma, IN 1901 Il was eight feet

Given a man with ambition and more
