Hunting the Florida Sea-CoW.

BY A. w. Dimock in Harpers.
one morning just after we had started
on our daily cruise series of swirls in
the water near us. the language of which
was then unfamiliar seemed to tell of
frightened crocodile and that the hunt
was on. We followed the zigzagging
trail Of muddy water as fast as we could
scull and pole. getting occasional
glimpses OF a fleeing something, until the
full view of 1t under the bow of the
skin gave me the chance l was seeking.
AS the harpoon struck a broad back,
which was not that of a crocodile, the
creature rose above the surface and
big beaver-like tail deluged me with
half barrel of water it struck and
nearly swamped the slIlh, and told me
that | had at last found the manatee
which | had vainly hunted during many
years. For hours we chased the creature,
keeping a light strain on the harpoon
line, frightening him as he came up to
breathe, until, exhausted, he rose more
and more frequently, and | made a score
of unsuccessful casts of a lasso at this
specimen of the wild cattle of the sea-
Finally the manatee came to the surface
to breathe so near the skin that I put
my left arm around his neck as far as
it would go and tried to slip the moose
over his head with my right The sud-
den lifting of his head threw me upon
his back, while twist of his big tail
sent me sprawling. We were swamped
four times while working the manatee
into shallow water, where we got over
board fastened a line around him and
soon had him under control, although
when the captain got astride of the crea-
ture he was promptly made to turn
back somersault. Docle as our captive
had become, he was yet eleven feet long
of massive proportions and a weight
which was difficult to handle. We tore
the seats out of the skiff, sank 1t and
succeeded in getting the creature over 1t.
Then having bailed out the water. we
were padding the overladen craft out in
the bay when a cataclysm left us SWIM
ming side by side. while a submerged
slIiff was being towed outward by a re-
joicing manatee We soon recaptured
and persuaded him into shallow water.
where l herded him while the captain
went to the big boat for an anchor and
cable, with which we made our captive
fast, giving him 200 feet of rope in an
excellent sea-cow pasture.

An American Fault.

From the Reader.
Hasty judgment is one of our chief
national faults. An instance of this snap-
shot judgment was the scathing report
made by Mr. Bigelow ON the Panama
canal, after twenty-eight hours stay on
the isthmus. President Roosevelt fur
nished another instance of it when he
answered Mr.. Bigelow without first-hand
knowledge of the facts, and again when
he wrote what is practically a book after
n -FOUR days visit there good share
of which time was spent in social ameni-
ties. The President provided yet another
instance when he dismissed the negro
soldiers at Brownsville without trial. and
that his natural indignation at the crlmi-
nal responsibility of those soldiers
tempted him to hasty and unconstitution-
al action is evidenced by his retraction
of that part of the s>ntence which de-
prived these men of the right to hold
federal office. Even Mr.. Roosevelt's
friends think he was precipitate in adopt
ing the reformed spelling, and that he
has committed himself to literary policy
which will prove embarrassing. With
such an example of impulse in the White
House, it is not surprising that others
should act without due deliberaton.
There is. for example Mr.. Clark Howell,
editor of the Atlanta Constitution. He,
after few days stay in Havana, an
nounces oracularly that some sort of
protectorate by us is absolutely neces-
sary in Cuba. 1t is not likely that he
has had the assistance of the Cuban men
of affairs in reaching this conclusion In
all probability he has chiefly conversed
with the Americans there whose interests
would be served by permanent dominance
of America over Cuba-the same class of
Americans who dissusted Mr. Taft during

Hitchcock and the Land Thieves.

From The Reader for March.
For what will Ethan Allen Hitch
cock be remembered? Every one
knows the answer: for his fight on the
land thieves. Uncle Sam used to have
land enough to give us each farm,
but only pitiful remnant of it now re-
mains. That little, however, is grow
ing rapidly in value, and is we'll worth
guarding from the systematized plum
der against which the great secretary
has SO we'll fought. Statesmen of the
stamp of Senator Clark of Wyoming,
are full of ire because Hitchcock with
drew from the market certain coal and
forest reserve lands. Senator Clark
says that it was an unauthorized act.
We are deprived of the views Of Sen
ator Clark's colleague for the reason
of his having been caught red handed
with his fences around a huge tract
of public lands, and a consequent SEN
sitiveness on the whole subject. Sena-
tor Clark himself has been accused of
representing in the Senatae the great
The Birmingham age-herald. [volume] (Birmingham, Ala.) 1902-1950, 1907-03-13

railways which traverse his state, and
which are accused of having robbed
the public domain of enormous areas of
coal lands by fraudulent entries.
Neither Senator Clark or any of the
other senators who shudder at Hitch
cocks illegal action were able to de-
tect the steal in the bill which would
have given to the railways a billion
dollars worth of coal last year; but
the inexperienced LaFollette saw it
at once, and the bill was killed. The
people would like to see every acre of
coal land now owned by the govern
ment permanently withdrawn from the
market and freely mined by govern
ment lessees ON a royalty basis. We
should feel safer from coal famines.
We should appreciate the revenue. On
the whole We hope Hitchcock's success
sor in office If he makes mistakes,
may make them In favor of the COM
mon good instead of against it, thus
following in Hitchcock's footsteps.
