memoirs In McClure's.

a message from Schiller. General

Johnson had called Schurz to Wash

.eThe answer came, He wants you
to make an important journey for him.

asked whether the spirit or Lincoln
had anything more to say TO me. The
answer came, Yes; you will be senar
tor of the United States. This struck
me as so fanciful that could hardly
suppress laugh, but | asked further
From what state? Answer, From
Missouri This was more provokingly
mysterious still, but there the CONVEX

Wisconsin to Missouri, and there was
not the slightest prospect of my ever
doing so.

years later | was surprised by an en-
tirely unsought and unexpected BUSH

lature of Missouri elected me a sena.

membered the prophecy made to me
at the spirit seance in the house of my

Odd Methods OF the Indians on the

On the Sauit Ste. Marie the Indians

The former has pole with which to
steady the boat, standing upright in

They take With them a dipnet four
feet In diameter attached to d pole or
handle fifteen feet long. This Is placed
ready to the hand of the Indian In the

COFFEE DRINKING
A Doctor Says 1t Weakens the Heart.

I'm my opinion says well known
German physician, mo one can truth
fully say that coffee agrees with him,
as 1t has long since been proven that
caffeine, contained in coffee, is an in
furious, poisonous substance which
weakens and degenerates the heart
muscles.
For this reason the regular use Of
coffee, soon or late, causes condition
of undernourishment, which leads to
various kinds of organic disease.
Convinced of this fact, have often
sought for some healthful beverage to
use instead of coffee. At last / found
the thing desired in Postum. Having
had occasion to forbid people using
coffee, whose hearts were affected.
have recommended Postum as bev-
erage, since 1t is free from all injuri-
GUS or exciting substances. / know
this from results In nay own family,
and among patients.
Hundreds of persons who now use
Postum in place of coffee, are greatly
benefited thereby" There's Reason"

One to Three at Whist.

The late Senator Hoar was extreme
ly fond of whist, which he played
with remarkable skill.
A friend says that the only time he
ever knew the usually placid and
genial man from Massachusetts, to be
absolutely impatient was when on
one occasion at whist the senator had
an unusually stupid partner. Notwith-
standing this handicap, the pair were
winning right along even against good
players.
In the middle of one game, some
one paused behind the senator's chair
and asked, well, senator, how are
you getting on?"
VERY well. indeed" was the reply,

SHARK FISHING OFF HONOLULU
Either Hook or HarpOOn Used ana
Monsters often CauEht Near
the shore.

zone Of Honolulu's most exciting pas
times is shark fishing said George
IT. Wilson, a planter OF Honolulu
Large sharks abound off Honolulu har-
Dor. and fishermen may usually count on
bringing back one or two sea sonsters
from eight to fourteen feet long by going
three or four miles from shore. The fish
NAV either be harpooned or hooked, the
latter method being the easier. The har-
pooning is more dangerous and more diff
ficult.
'sThe shark fishers need a small launch
a dead horse, some haTpoons or hooks and
some large calibre rifles. The horse is
sometimes killed a day or two before the
expedition, as sharks are supposed TO like
their horse meat high The horse is tied
at the end of a rope ard left to float about
sixty feet away from the launch and then
the wait for the sharks begins.
"A shark will usually show up in a very
short time. At a distance of sixty feet he
is a long green object of Indefinite out
lines. He approaches the dead horse slowly
until a few feet ava and then veers off
to one side and disappears. But he always
returns. over and over again, sometimes
for an hour. he will circle about the dead
animal, seeming to be as suspicious as any
fox. While the shark is making these re-
peated Investigations the bait is slowly
drawn toward the boat. When harpooning
Is to be done the bait is drawn gradually
closer until the shark comes right up to
the boat. Then the harpOon Is plunged
into him and the battle begins. He gets ex-
by and by and then the rifles come
into play.
"The sharks are more easily hooked than
harpooned. Many tourists who come to
get up shark-fishing parties"-
