monster shark was lurking that was to
taste of my flesh ere the night had
passed. and could / have known what
the future held for me l would hardly
have been in the mood to enjoy ma
lures beauties.
1--WE Invested ourselves of our at
tire, donned bathing suits and, with a
shout of delight, dashed into the surf,
which rolled up the beach to meet us.
We lay in the shallow water as the
waves splashed over US, but finally we
wandered out until the flood submerg-
ed us nearly to the chin. My compan-
ions were content with this venture,
but l, being a good swimmer, was bent
Oh further risk, and with lusty buff
fets l swan against the Oncoming
walls of foam until l was out in the
depths.
''The sport was the finest l had ever
enjoyed, and l swan around all I'M
conscious of danger until l heard the
voice of one Of my mates calling over
the waters: For Gods sake, Reese,
come in! There's a shark moving near

II treaded water and turned to look,
and a huge wave dashed into my face
and blinded me for the moment. But
my eyes were soon clear, and p1 eject
ing halfway out of another sweep Of
breakers l saw the fin and portion
of the slOping back of a monster shark.
"The moon made objects as clear as
day, and the blood seemed to freeze
around my heart when, after the rush
of pillows had passed, | saw the raw
enous fish darting toward me- sprang
forward in the water and madly swan
toward the Shore and each wave as it
overlook me hurried along my fight.
| thank God for this, for had not my
small body offered lesser resistance to
the pillows than the shark the monster
must have easily overtaken me and
found opportunity for good bite with
his terrible teeth.
each moment found me closer to
the shore, and once took time to look
over my shoulder. The shark was just
behind me, and even as | marked his
rapid motion he leaped from the water
and dived beneath the flood.
For an instant my course toward
shore was stayed. Something held me
by the heel, and there was a singing,
numbing pain, as though my whole
foot was being crushed in an iron wise.
In desperation | jerked my leg for
ward, and as my foot beneath the wa

shock shot up my thigh and seemed to
rack through my whole body.
II knew then that the shark had
snapped at me and bitten off a portion
of my heel, and as l called forth all my
reserve strength in the race for life
there was a despair Juggling at my
heart, for 1 felt the race a hopeless
one.
cit was then that 1 felt something
brush my kicking leg, and the sense
that the contact was with an object
clammy and PUPPY readily possessed
me. The monster had made another
try for me and, miscalculating, grazed
me in his dash.
"a deluge of water more powerful
than any l had yet encountered lifted
me bodily up on it's crest and when 1
came down and started to swim again

THOMAS H. CARTER.
Montana Republican Who Is Again
In the Senate Chamber.

Thomas Henry Carter of Montana,
who, after an absence from the United
States senate of four years, is again
member of that body, was born
in Ohio in 1854 and took up the prac-
tice of law in Iowa soon after being
admitted to the bar. but in 1882 remov-

SENATORIAL DISGRACE.

1t is reported in Washington,
says the Pittsburg Gazette, that
Senators opposed to the Presidents
ratelregulation policy have made a
proposition to him that if he will ac-
cept their amendments to the rate
bill they will see that the Dominican
treaty and Philippine tariff bill, now
sidetracked and practically doomed
to defeat, are extricated and passed.
1t is also reported that the President
has Indignantly spurned the scandal
GUS suggestion.
One reason for discrediting this
story is the improbability that any
Senator would care to incur the Wig
orous denunciation which the Presi-
dentwould be likely to let loose upon
the proposer of such a dishonorable
compromise. There would be also
the possibility that, as in the beef
case and some others, the President
might make the whole story public,
placing the traders in a most un-
pleasant predicament. But aside
from that it is only too humiliating-
ly probable that the report may be
correct. Deals and trades have not
been unknown in the Senate. The
public is familiar with the use to
which the Statehood bill and Others
have been put to obstruct legislation
obnoxious to the dominant element.
This offer to pass bills that have
been held'up and the implied threat
10 kill them If the President does
not accept the deal are in keeping
with the record of managing Sena-
tors.
If such an offer has been made the
President will perform a service by
making public. the details of the at
tempted deal. Men who. would thus
misuse public measures for the fur
theranee of personal ends should suf-
fer the reprobation they deserve.
The Telegram is glad to note that
it has also been reported in this
connection that President Roosevelt
Immediately spurned such proposals
and sent the carriers of such insults
quickly back to hole, an action char
acteristic of the man and one the
American people will be proud of.

The report that Elkins and Daw-
son have made a deal, by which
Senator Scott is to be thrown down
four years from now is discredited.
1t may be true. But what ought to
concern Uncle Steve more than any
thing else now is the likelihood Of
the people throwing him, if he does
not vote with the President on the
rate bill. Even Dawson can not
keep them from throwing him, if he
votes against their interests. Be-
sides in Senator SCOTS case he will
likely have something to say about
it himself, and he is just powerful
and more popular to our notion than
Mr.. Elkins. El5ins has enough to
look after his own fences without
entering any compact to defeat Mr..
Scott, and Governor Dawson has a
plenty to do to look after the COVER
norship, which the Telegram is de-
lighted to say he is doing with abil-
ity and success.

Some queer reports are out about
Frank Wright, an alleged accomplice
of the murder of man at Manning
ion some months ago. He is sup
posed to be a prisoner, but one day
he Is located and the next missing,
though said to be in the custody of a
deputy sheriff. Wright was to be
accompanied from Morgantown to
Charleston to be before the supreme
court to ask for habeas corpus pro-
readings. After leaving Morgan
aown neither he nor the officer seem
" have been heard from. That is

sfry more, nor did Charleston ac-

now. May il not be plan to thwart

b possible for a guarded prisoner to
mike way with the officer and escape.

The first issue Of the Monongahela
Valley Trade Journal, published at
Fairmont by Messrs. Powell &
Fleming and edited by J. E. Powell,
until recently city editor Of the
Fairmont West Virginia, reached
our exchange table Tuesday morn
ing. 1t is very creditable in appear
ance, and, in truth, in mechanical
features is far ahead of most of the
Journals Of that sort in this country.
1t is designed to be monthly re-
view of coal, coke and other indus
tries in this State and from the
tone of its first issue there is every
indication that it will be independ-
ent in thought and action and not be
holden to any one in particular. 1t
is the only publication Of the kind
in West Virginia and ought TO be
duly appreciated. 1t is destined to
become very useful in industrial and
commercial circles in West Virginia,
and the Telegram bespeaks liberal
patronage and much success for it.

All Clarksburgers are more OF
less interested in the Grafton cleo
ton; for, a Clarksburg boy has been
nominated for mayor there. His
name is John McClung. He was
born and reared here and is a son of
one who fought for his flag and
country, and possesses the same sort
OF patriotism and love for country.
Grafton can do no better than to
elect him mayor. He is a loyal Re
publican. Elect him and make no
mistake.

The Telegram believes the papers
of Preston county do United States
Deputy Marshal E. d. Huppa great
injustice in making such severe
criticisms of him as appears in an
other column of this issue of the
Telegram. Officer Hupp has
brought to justice a large number of
yiolators of the federal laws, and
many of these have come from Pres
ton county. There seems to be the
motive. Officer Hupp is a well-be-
haved man in Clarksburg and else
where, but Preston county editors
may not be accustomed to the ETH
quette of civilization, nor familiar
with good behavior. Mr.. Hupp may
not pay any attention to their carp
ings, but in reality he ought to give
them a broadside they will not soon
forget. 1t might be they are yio-
lators of the internal revenue laws
themselves and are merely trying to
bluff Col. Hupp.
