The whale had been harpooned in

AS the monster was only wounded
and enraged there was nothing else to
DO but pay out line and play the biz

For two hours the whale Travelled sea-

to blow, and so hard did It pull that
the blades of the harpoon loosened IN
its flesh.
The whales pace grew steadily less
however, until It finally became very
weak. The high speed at which 1t had
travelled and the heavy drag OF the
steamer told and the effect Of the tow

CAUGHT WOLF WITH HANDS.
President Tells How Banter Ae-
complfshed the Feat.

""piiHhed the Feat.
In couple of miles l was close
enough to see what was going on. But
one greyhound was left with Aber-
nethy. The coyote was obviously
tired, and Abernethy, with the aid of
his perfectly trained horse. was help
ing the greyhound catch 1t.
Twice he headed it, and this en-.

reached a small unwooded creek by
the time l was within fifty yards; the
little wolf tried to break back to the
left; Abernethy headed 1t and rode al
most over it; and 1t gave wicked
snap at his foot, cutting the boot.
Then he wheeled and came toward it:
again 1t galloped back, and Just as il
crossed the creek the greyhound made
a rush, pinned 1t by the hind leg and
threw it.
There was scuffle, then a yell from
the greyhound as the wolf bit 1t. At
the bite the hound let go and jumped
back a few feet, and at the same mo-
ment, Abernethy, who had ridden his
horse right on them as they struggled.
leaped off and sprang on top Of the
wolf. He held the rens of the horse
with one hand and thrust the other

greater than the rapidity Of the VOLTS

~ the same equality OF right to pass
along or across the streets between
the places where crossings are estab-
lished or habitual. II the pedestrian
chooses TO ignore the convenience Of
an established crossing he may do so,
crossing the street at any point and
preserving his equality of right wher-
ever he may elect to cross.
Along with this equality of legal
right there is imposed upon pedestrian.
rider and driver alike the obligation so
TO exercise due and reasonable care
and diligence as not unreasonably TO
interfere with or obstruct the exercise
Of an equal right by any other.
What is reasonable care and dill
gence is always to be determined by
the circumstances and surroundings Of
each case. Both the pedestrian and
the driver OF any vehicle would be
held to higher degree of diligence in
a crowded street than in one where
passers OF either kind are few.
There is a very common impression
that pedestrians have a superior right
on crossings and riders and drivers
between crossings, but this appears to
be entirely erroneous. Each has as
much right as the other anywhere in
the street spaces between sidewalks
and each is bound alike to reasonable
care.
1t is true that the pedestrian usually
exercises greater care than the driver.
but this is purely extralegal, arising
from the bald physical fact that while
a horse and wagon may easily run
over pedestrian the latter cannot by
any means run over horse and
wagon.
Drivers of vehicles habitually take
advantage Of this physical fact, but
the law would not uphold them in so
doing and there would probably be less
Of if proprietors of vehicles would

was recently talking with a bust
ness man who is in the midst of the
great activities Of New York, dresses
well, and lives well, but who, every
time he opens his mouth, condemns
himself, betrays his shocking ignorance
of almost everything outside of his
own little speciality. He knows almost
nothing about the great men and wo-
men who figure prominently in current
history. He could not even tell the
names of the candidates for the presi-
dency and vice-presidency just before
the last election. He said such things
did not interest him.
1t Is painful to try to carry on a
conversation with such a man. Think
of the splendid opportunities for edu-
cation, enjoyment, and culture which
that man, with thousands Of others, Is
throwing awayl 1t does not seem
possible that a man could do business
in New York City and be so ignorant
of everything outside Of his own little
groove.
