The Jaws of the Shark That Swal.
lowed the Papers.

of war, but the examination of her
papers brought no discriminating evi-
dence to light and she was about to
be let go when the British gunboat
Ferret steamed into the harbor and
changed the whole aspect of the case.
While cruising off the mouth of the
harbOr, the crew on the latter boat
had been relieving the monotony by
fishing for shark, which abounded in
those waters. In the course of the ex-
citing sport an unusually large fellow
was caught, and when he had been
hauled on board, the first thing done
was to investigate the curiosity shop
of his interior, for every sailor knows
the stomach of the average shark is
bound to contain evidences of his
wicked and wayward life. And so it was
in this case, for among other things
found was bundle of papers. the ap-
pearance and condition of which in
dicated that they had not been long
in the stomach of the big fish, for the
inside of the roll was scarcely damp
from contact with the water.
Lieut.. Michael Fitton, commander OF
the boat and into whose hands the
papers were at once placed, instantly
recognized their character, and sur
missing that they had been thrown
overheard by some brig when it had
been captured, he started Immediately
for Port Royal
Lieut. Fitton quickly acquainted the
authorities with the new evidence
which had 50 miraculously come into
his possession, and the Nancy was
again taken into custody. The case
was tried at Kingston, where the true
papers of the Nancy were put in evil
dence, and as a result the brig was
confiscated and her skipper fined and
sent to prison
So remarkable were the incidents in
connection with this case that the pa
pers were preserved at Kingston.
Lieut.. Fitton had the jaws of the shark
mounted They We're for some time
on display at Port Royal with this
label written by the lieutenant at
tached:
Lieut.. Fitton recommends these
Jaws for collar for neutrals to swear
through"
A few years later they were taken
to London, and are now in possession
of the United Service Institution,
where they may be seen by visiting
Americans who are interested enough
in the story of the SHARK Papers" to
look them up.

MADE HIS MEANING PLAIN.
Indians Answer a Real Triumph OF
Quiet Sarcasm.

George Vaux, Jr, of Philadelphia
has been appointed a member of the
board Of Indian commissioners. Mr.
Vaux told a reporter the other day an
Indian story.
There was a certain commission
err" he said, who treated the Indians
with rude scorn. One day a chief en-
tertained this man in his tepee, tell
ing him over the tobacco many quaint
legends.
"One legend concerned a plague of
grasshoppers. The chief told elo-
quently how grasshoppers overran
the land, eating the grain, and how
the medicine men averted a famine
by offering q silver grasshopper to
the Great Spirit, whereupOn all that
deluge Of grasshoppers disappeared.
But the commissioner scoffed at
the tale.
"'Are you Indians such FOOLS he
said, as to believe such rubbish?'

and it was stated TO Maj. Whipple
that he would have to place himself
in the hands of the examining doctors

Now, Maj Whipple, while a man Of
great bodily strength and perfect
health and activity, was little de-
ficient in the matter of teeth. An ex

THE "SHARK PAPERS"
DESTROYED IN THE RECENT
EARTHQUAKE AT KINGSTON.
Documents Found In Fish's Belly
Which Convicted Captain of Amer
ican Brig of Carrying Contra
band of War;

When the earthquake and the fire
which followed, devastated Kingston,
jamaica, there was destroyed. among
other things, relic and reminder of
by-gone days which is of special in
terest to Americans. Few perhaps
of those living today, or even of
those who have visited Kingston
itself, know the story of the famous
SHARK Papers" and how they brought
conviction to an American sea captain
1t is sort of Jonah and the whale
story, with the corroborating evidence
of the truth of the story to be found
in the existence to-day of the head of
the shark which figured so prominent
ly in the case, and which just in the
nick of time supplied the evidence
needed
If the papers, which the accommo-
dating fish swallowed as they were
thrown overheard, and later gave up
after it had been caught by an Eng
lish gunbOat are destroyed, there still
remains the jaws of the fish to bear
their mute testimony to the truth of as
remarkable sea tale, with its almost
miraculous condolences, as was ever
told
For over century the Institute of
Jamaica has treasured the famous pa
pers which have probably been de-
stroyed in the fire which followed the
wrecking of the building by the earth
quake.
The story of these cherished ships
papers is worth repeating, especially
to an American, who is always able
to appreciate good story, even if it
is one on his own countrymen. 1t
seems that in 1899 the American brig
Nancy had been causing the British
a deal of trouble, and was suspected
of carrying contraband of war, but
had always been able to escape detec-
ton, and in the last case in which her
captain was convicted and the brig
confiscated by the triumphant English
men she would have escaped again
had not circumstances stranger than
the widest fiction combined to place
in the hands of the court at Kingston
the evidence which was needed to con-
vict of the violation of international
law
1t seems that the Nancy had been
overhauled and brought into Port
Royal under suspicion of being en-
gagged in the carrying of contraband

THE WHOLE FAMILY.
Mother Finds a Food for Grown-U u ps
and Children as Well.

Food that can be eaten with relish
and benefit by the children as well
as the older members of the family,

Such food is Grape-Nuts. 1t not
only agrees with and builds up chill
dren, but older persons who, from bad
habits of eating, have become dyspep-
tic.
A Phila. lady, after being benefited
herself persuaded her husband to try
Grape-Nuts for stomach trouble. She
writes:
about eight years ago I had a Sc
we're attack of congestion of stomach
and bowels. From that time on,
had to be careful about eating. as
nearly every kind of food then known
to me, seemed to cause pain.

use Grape-Nuts. / grew stronger and
better, and from that time l seldom
have been without it; have gained in
health and strength and am now heav-
Ter than l ever was.
MY husband was also in a bad con-
dition-his. stomach became so weak
that he could eat hardly anything with
comfort. l got him to try Grape
nuts, and he soon found his stomach
trouble had disappeared.

Many anglers have great faith in
fish as weather prophets. If storm
is approaching, they say, the fish stop
biting, and they won't bite again until
the storm is past. They also foretell
the near approach of cold weather
Hours before it comes fish leave the
shallow waters in-shore and seek deep
er water, which, owing to it's depth,
will stay warm and keep an equable
temperature after the shallower and
surface waters are cold.
