TWO FISH STORIES.

Forty years ago when my father
was Captain of an East India trading
ship, while off the coast of Africa
near the Equator, the ships carpen-
ter was taken sick and died. He
was sewed up in canvas and with
him was sewed his kit of tools and
grindstone for ballast to sink him.
Services were held and the body COM
mitted 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 rescued.
The next day the shark was still
following the ship. A shark hook
was baited and put over the stern
and the shark was caught, but was so
large it 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 He was surprised
to hear voices, and on looking in
saw the ships boy turning the grind
stone for the ships carpenter, who
was sharpening his AK to cut their wa
out.
My father, who is so years old, can
vouch for this that it is a fish
story.-[ Boston Journal.
Eliza Cosgrove, of Quincy, ILL.,, a
fisherman Of repute, relates that 10
wears ago he was fishing in one of the
famous resort lakes OF Indiana, when
he dropped a ten-dollar gold piece into
the water and saw a pickerel swallow
It. Since then he has fished as
siduously for the pickerel, and week
ago last Saturday caught 1t. Opening
the fish he found the original $40
and $3.50 In small change-being
the interest that had accrued while
the money was on deposit in the fish.
The story could be beaten by almost
any OF our Portland fellows who go "a
fishing In the Trask River, or other
of our coast streams, and we know it.

substantial majority, was the resolu-
tion appealing to the general confer
ence to restore the time limit upon
pastorates, custom which was abol-
ished about eight year ago.
The conference also went on record
as favoring the election of negro bis

contest in Illinois has resulted In al
drawn battle with the saloons winning,
decisively in most of the larger cities.
Where the "grogshop" was not an,
economic asset in city government thel
probibitionists had the advantage
Where financial questions entered
largely they lost.
Although they did not chase the.
demon rum" from the state, they pro-
fess satisfaction with the results. They
were the aggressors, and where they
win it is clear gain.
The saloons were on the defensive.
Where they win they have nothing
but what they had before, and the
losses were clear loss.
Returns from the 1000 townships
of the state are incomplete, and It is
not possible to state with exactness
how many saloons will close their
doors thirty days hence as result of
yesterdays balloting. Estimates place
the number at close to 1000 being for
the most part in little towns which
had from five to twenty-five saloons
each.
