Knowing Things Too Well.

Very often folks get to know a thing
so we'll that they don't have to think
to remember it. Take, for instance, your
home address. If you have been living
in the same house in the same street for
years your address gets easier and easier
to recall. Except, sometimes. 1t dOesn' t
take the influence of liquor to make you
forget either. 1t merely is that you know
it too well.
There was a man who was in the hab-
it of writing letters to girl and after
a year or so he got to know her address
by heart One day, long after he start
ed writing to her, he was addressing an
envelope to the young woman, when sud
denly he became suspicious of the number
he had written. He read it aloud and
tried other schemes of convincing him
self He wrote the same numbers on
other sheets of paper, but they did not
seem entirely right.
Eventually he had to go over to call
on the girl instead of writing, in order
to satisfy himself that he still knew the
address His figures had been perfectly
all right, but the trouble was that he
knew them too well.
That sometimes occurs to person Civ
ing an address in a store. 1t slips out
so naturally that when by chance the
shopman repeats, BLANK Blankety-
blankth street?" you begin to wonder if
YOU have it right after ALL And the first
breath of suspicion kills your chances of
remembering correctly. You simply have
to go to the directory to verify the place
you live in, and naturally that leads to
suspicious on the part of the shopkeeper.

SKIPPER FIGHTS WHALE.
Revolver Shots Didn't Stop Big Nam
mails Attack

From the deck of the little coasting
steamer Coos Bay Capt. James Bowen
waged a battle with a mammoth whale
while his vessel was off Cayucos, on her
way up the coast. The whale was OBJ
served making straight for the steamer,
and Bowen was obliged to put his yes
sci upon different course to avoid col
lision with the mammal. Even this &C
ton of the skipper did not suffice to keep
the Coos Bay out Of danger, and draw
ing a revolver the captain opened fire
upon his enemy.
Twice he emptied the contents of the
revolver's chambers, but the leaden mis-
siles apparently had little effect upon the
mammal, as it renewed it's attack upon
the vessel. Finally in a last effort to es-
cape from the whale the skipper of the
gradually the Coos Bay crept ahead of
her pursuer.
Speaking of the experience shortly aft
er the Coos Bays arrival in port, one
member of the crew said:
For some moments it looked like tie
whale would surely hit us and consider
able excitement was caused aboard the
ship. The mammal was all of 100 feet
long and seemed of a particularly vicious
species.
even when Capt. Bowen discharged
his revolver at it the whale kept coming
after us, although the water was dyed
with blood. But for the fact that the
old Coos Bay was able to crowd on a
little steam we would have come into
port with some scars where the whale hit
US with his fukes.
"The first time we caught sight of the
whale was off Cayucos, and it kept fol-
lowing us right along the coast, some
times almost abeam of the ship and but
a hundred yards off.

GAVE FISHERMEN BATTLE.
Lobster Gave His Captors Hard Fight
After Being Caught in TrawI

Fishermen like Holsters as we'll as any
body, in the proper time and place, but
John Marshall and Henry Silva of fish
ing schooner Annie Perry had an expert
ence with one off Chatham a few days
ago which convinced them that there are
times when Holsters are poor company.
They were out trawling and pulled up a
trawl which seemed by the feel, to
promise good returns. To their surprise
they brought to the surface lobster
which later was found to weigh 2S
pounds, but which then looked to be
about hundred. His claws were work
ing like windmills, and once landed in
the dory he gave fight. From one end
of the dory he travelled with remarkable
speed, striking at the fishermen and in
ficting several cuts and pinches before
a well-aimed blow with club put him
out of commission. His like for size,
as he came under inspection at Packet
wharf, where the schooner tied up upon
her arrival, was not Recommendations

SURVEILLANCE IN VENEZUELA.
Everywhere One Goes Passports or Pass
! words Must Be Given.

To enter Venezuela one needs a pass
port, sealed, with certifcations and
stamps; to move from one place to all
other more passports more consultations
with military jefes; to board ship, per-
mission from the local resguardo, from
the jefe civil, and perhaps other func-
tionaries. Everywhere one goes, one is
held up by policemen and soldiers and
compelled to give an account of oneself.
On dozen different occasions, when
have been walking the streets of Cara
cas-, Valencia, Puerto Cabello, or Mara
caybo, my thoughts concentrated on some
subject far from the bedevilment Of
Venezuela, | have been brought to my
senses by the shout of "Quien viva?'
and had a Mauser leveled at me. Boston
professors, the anti-imperialistS, and j.
w. Foster may like this sort of thing,
and | may be unduly sensitive, but |
must confess that these conditions of I'M
easiness and this shouting of "Quien
viva?" finally got on my nerves like the
whir of rattlesnake.
No phase of life is free from surveil-
lance. All kilograms and cablegrams are
censored, with a representative of the
dictator in charge of every line of COM
munication. All letters are liable to be
opened by government officials. A
thoughtless word in a private epistle may
be carried to Castro with exaggerated
Importance, and another victim thereby
be added to those that have gone be-
fore. Even the diplomatic correspond
ence of the representatives Of foreign
governments is tempered with by Cas-
tro's representatives in the postoffice,
and every foreign minister in Caracas
knows that he must send his communica-
tons to his government in his own mail
pouch, carried by his own private mes
senger to mail ship, or they will be
placed before the dictator for his perusal.
