Just 4 Fish story.

Forty years ago, when my father was
captain Of an East India trading ship,
while of 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 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. A 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 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
az to cut their way out. &.
Ny father, who is eighty years old,
can vouch for this that it is fish

His Old College Chums.

A conductor sent new brakeman to
put some tramps off the train. They
were riding in box car. The brake
man dropped into the car and said,
"Where are you fellows goingY' ITO
Atchison." "Well, you can't go to
Atchison on this train, so get off,
"You get" came the reply, and as the
brakeman was looking into the bust
ness end Of gun he took the advice
given him and "got." He went back to
the caboose, and the conductor asked
him If he had put the fellows of.
NO." he answered, II did not have
the heart to put them off. They want
to 60 to Atchison, and, besides, they
are old schoolmates of mine.'' The
conductor used some very strong Ian
guage and then said he would put
them off himself. he went over to the
car and met with the same experience
as the brakeman. When he got back to
the caboose, the brakeman said, "Well,
did you put them OFF," NAV, they're
schoolmates of mine too."-Wellington

Halevy and tho Due de Morny.

It may not be generally known in
what circumstances Halevy owed his
Advancement in the French civil serv-
Ice to the Due de Morny. The duke, an
amateur Of the arts, had begun to write
the nbretto Of comic opera of which
Ofenbach was to provide the music.
He found that he had not the time-or
perhaps that he had not the talent-to
finish 1t. He sought a collaboration, and
Halevy came to the rescue and kept
his secret. When, therefore, the Office
Of the ministry Of Algeria, which he
held, was suppressed he had no hesita-
ton in asking his august patron for the
post which he sought on the Journal
Ohciel. 'The very thingv' exclaimed
the duke. '"There is six months vaca-
ton when the chamber Is not sitting,
so that you will have plenty Of time
to write for the stage" And he gave
him note to the head Of the depart
ment, consisting of the simple words,
MAKE arrangements to give the bearer
the post for which he will ask you."-

EXCITING CHASE FOR

East Side Police Bring

EDISON COMPANY THE LOSER
Miss 1000 feet Of Wire Yesterday
Men Are Caught on Way Out
of Hegewisch.

Two mn are lying in cells at the
East Side police station today, charged
with burglary by the Commonwealth
Edison company. The men, who gave
the names of Martin Carmody and
Henry Lump were arrested after
chase extending over seven blocks
during which time several shots were
fired by the officers.
The commonwealth Edison company
has been missing copper wire for some
time and yesterday one strip of over
1000 feet had been cut from their line
and apparently the thieves had made
safe getaway. The East Side police
station was notified. who in return no
titled the HegewisCh officers to be on
the alert for any clew that might lead
to the arrest of the robbers. Officer
Hagberg, one of the Hegewisch police
men. ran onto a clew that looked so
good to him that he notified his sta
ton with the request that they had
better bring along the wagon and a
squad of men. This was done and the
patrol wagon, in charge of Sergeant
to Hegewisch, where they were met
by Officer Hagberg, who said he had
positive information that two men were
about to drive out of Hegewisch with
load of copper wire.
The patrol wagon started in pursuit
Of the two men and after firing several
shots they were captured near Wolf
lake. The men We're driving a single
horse which was attached to a light
wagon. The copper wire which con-
stituted their load, was lying in the
rear Of the wagon, concealed by a large
burlap covering.
The police are of the opinion that
Carmody and Lump have successfully
| operated their game through Hege-
wisch for some time and believe that
with their arrest the depredations will
stop.
Both men deny that they stole the
wire, claiming they purchased it from
| other men.
