Inst q Fish Story.

Forty years ago, when my father was
captain Of an East India trading snip,
while off the coast of Africa near the
equator the ships carpenter was taken
sick and died. He was sewed up In
canvas, and with him were sewed his
kit of tools and grindstone for ballast
to sink him. Services were held and
the body committed to the sea.
Four days later the ships boy fell
overheard. and a great shark came up
under the stern and swallowed the boy
before he could be reached.
The next day the shark was still fol
lowing the ship. shark hook was
baited and put over the stern, and the
shark was caught. but was so large 1t
could not be taken on board, and they
were obliged to shoot him. He looked
so plump and large the mate. who was
an old whaler, wanted to go over the
side and cut the fish open. He was
lowered over and cut a hole in the
shark and was surprised to hear voices
and on looking in saw the ships boy
turning the grindstone for the ships
carpenter, who was sharpening his
AK to cut their way out.

The first question the average Wis

officials hold that if man by any pos

meath a vault the heavy metal would

his life he could not get away with

The Insect and the Net.

It has been known for long time
that an insect will not fly through a
net with meshes three or four times as
large as its body. whereas bird will
go through a mesh Of corresponding
size without hesitation. The insect cam
not tell us why 1t stops and lights on
the net without trying to go through
and its peculiar action puzzled observ-
ers until the scientists took the matter
up, as they do all things Of that kind
They say that the eye of the insect Is
made up Of many facets, so that the
net looks to it like a continuous opaque
surface, the meshes not being appar-
ent. Therefore it stops or turns back
before it discovers that it might have
gone through the net without stopping
To the eye of the bird, however, the
meshes are plainly visible, and it goes
through without hesitation.

Journalistic Revenges.

The curious boycott Of the press In
the Berlin parliament had a precedent
in the mother of pariaments, the Brit
ish house Of commons. A writer In
Harper's Weekly recalls that the per
son involved was no less a celebrity
than the late Daniel O'Connell. He
condemned the inaccuracy of the par
iiamentary reports. but he forgot to
make allowance for acoustic difficulties
and the buzz of intervening converse

the malicious suppression of his speech
es, and the gallery then refused to re-
port him at ALL Dan 'stormed and

1871 fell foul Of the press in the same
way. and the late Lord Monteagle had
his name omitted from London news

said something the reporters did not
like.

In This Hemisphere.
One of the few walled cities in this
hemisphere and perhaps the oldest, is
that of Cartagena, Colombia, South
America. The wall, which is still
standing and in excellent condition,
stretches it's irregular circumference
several miles in inclosing what was
one Of the gayest, wealthiest and lar
gest cities of the new world in the
days of Spanish supremacy. 1t is said
that $5O,OOO,O0O was spent in construct
ing this wall, and it must be remem-
bered that three or four centuries ago
that meant considerably more money
than it does now.
The wall is wide enough to accom-

"The surrender Of the present Presi

ences furnishes an excellent proof of
the wisdom of Judge Parker in making
the statement he has. But President
Roosevelt stands for militarism.

ROOSEVELT THE SPIRIT OF WAR"
The Answer I'm 1908.

President Roosevelt instead of rep
resenting the spirit Of war;" stands
before the world the greatest ex-
emplar of international peace in his
generation. History will in full
season award him the titles he
has justly won, and the greatest Of
these will be "The Peacemaker," In
spite of Candidate Bryans assault upon
him in 1904. Under President Rooss-
velt's policies the United States has
taken its place in the front rank Of
world powers. Taft is committed to
continuing these policies.

THE ANSWERS.
"TAR1FF WILL CRUSH THE FARMER"
The Answer in 1908.

The answer is found in the prevail
ing good prices for grain, corn, hogs,
cattle, hay and all the products
of the farm, together with the
didate Bryan's crushing" speech,
Western farm lands have doubled in
value, and thousands of tenant" farm
ers of that date have become prosper
Gus home-owners, filling their own land
in peace, happiness and plenty. Under
the National Irrigation Act, and the
Republican conservation movement, the
West is soon to be the intense agricul-
tural and horticultural producing area
of the United States.

''The fight this year will be to carry

our children's children will not sue
coed to the spirit of that song, and eel
ebrations Of the Fourth Of July will
pass away, for the spirit of Empire will
be upon us."-William J. Bryan speech
to the Bryan Home Guards, Lincoln,

The broad meaning of Candidate
Bryan's remarks on this subject 10
that railway regulation by statute
law is impossible, and that gov
eminent ownership" is the only
remedy for transportation abuses
The enactment Of the Federal Rate Law
has totally disproved the claims of
Candidate Bryan and wildly displayed

The gold standard has slain" no
one, nor did 1t write the future
in blood" nor did it destroy our
