HE DID ONLY HIS DUTY.
But Still Some OF the Automobile Tourists
Might Have Got Lost.
From the Biddeiord Record.

" TTOW tNe btu0eJOfu HtCOTu.
The Glidden trail up Main street In Saco
was lost Monday because Of the agility dis
played by Charles Schoield, head pusher
Of the refuse department. He is employed
In picking up paper. sticks and rubbish that
collect on Main street. He looks after this
branch Of work with such faithfulness that
a piece Of paper larger than q postage stamp
cannot be found along the principal thorough
fare.
Monday morning when the advance guard
Of the Glidden auto tourists passed through
saco they left a trail Of confetti. This was
for the benefit Of those who followed. The
city man saw the streak of papel. bits on the
pavement and Immediately got busy.
"Confound the carnp who dumped this
rubbish" he muttered as he worked. IF
I know who the culprit was I would notify
City Marshal wiggin." He had destroyed
a good part Of the white trail on the pavement
when some one tumbled to what he was doing,
About this time the tall marshal came along
and said: Mr.. Man. o will confer q favor
upon the Glidden tourists who are touring
900 miles In competition for the Glidden
and HOVER trophies In the 1905 tour Of the
American Automobile Association II you In
your capacity as rubbish gatherer would allow

SHIPPERS FIGHT WITH WHALE.
Revolver Shots Didn't Stop Big Mammals
Attack on Small Coassing Craft.

From the San Fruneiseo Bulletin.
From the deck OF the little coasting steamer
Coos Bay Capt. James Bowen waged q battle
with a mammoth whale while his vessel was
of Cayucos. on her way up the coast. The
whale was observed making straight for the
steamer and Bowen was obliged to put his
vessel upon q different course to avoid COLI
lision with the mammal. Even this action
OF the skipper did not suflce TO keep the
Coos Bay out OF danger and drawing a re-
volver the captain opened fire upon his
enemy.
Twice he emptied the contents OF the re-
volver's chambers, but the leaden missiles
apparently had little effect upon the mammal.
as 1t renewed its attack upon the vessel.
Finally In q last effort to escape from the
whale the skipper Of the steamer ordered full
speed ahead. and gradually the Coos Bay
orept ahead Of her pursuer.
Speaking Of the experience shortly after
the Coos Bays arrival In port. one member Of
the crew said:
For some moments It looked like the whale
would surely hit US and considerable excite
ment 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 ct 1t the whale kept coming after
us. although the water was dyed with blood.
But for the fact that the Ole 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 fiukes.
THE first time We caught sight OF the
whale was of Cayucos. and II kept following
rs right along the coast. sometimes almost
abeam OF the ship and but a hundred yards
