Monhegan, July 81, by the motor seiner

1t was first sighted about 100 yards from
the shore, and being uncommonly large,
the seiners started out to capture it.
After chasing the shark about four hours
and harpooning it seven times. the fish
was finally conquered, four miles south
west OF the island, and towed back to the
harbor, where he was viewed by many of
the summer visitors and island people.
From the end of his tail to his nose he
measured twenty-seven feet, six inches.
His liver filed six barrels, which sold for

schV. "aehAhShouf " AAc SIcdt capital OF
great nation, is. for the time being, like
country village.
No grass is growing on Pennsylvania
avenue, and men with unkempt whiskers
are not loafing around the corner grocery
stores. But the population has thinned
nightly. The interest in the throbbing
life of the city has experienced tremen-
dous drop. There is no more yearning for
Congress to get through, but for the sum
mer to pass and for the officials to return.
1t is Characteristic of Washington that
folks here always look forward to two
things annually: For Congress to assemble
and for Congress to adjourn. Once Con-
gress has met, in extra or regular session,
people in all walks OF life here measure
activities by the time Congress is to ad-
journ. And once Congress has adjourned,
they all begin to talk OF the day when
Congress will be back again.
1t will be almost even four months, gen
tie readers, who live outside of Washing
ton, before the legislative hosts return.
Everybody in Washington has already
figured it. The day will be the first Mon
day in December, and it will be long
session, extending up into the summer,
but in all probability not into August.
The President will probably not be back
in the White House for three and q half
months, which will be very long time.
and Washington win be glad to see him
when he returns and helps quicken a dead
town into very live one along in the
middle Of next November He has left
lot of trouble behind him and probably he
will be facing a lot OF legislative trouble
when he returns. That is the usual fate
of Presidents.

PROFANITY AND SWEARING.

Says the Newberry Observer of last
week: Profanity is one of the com.
monest of voices. 1t is vice. or 1t
would not have been put among the
Ten Commandments. And it is such
a useless vice. Some of the vices
have some sort OF reason--no good
reason, of course behind them: but
for the profane-why. the devil catches
them with an Undated hook"
All OF which is very true. and in
which we heartily agree Profanity
is useless and liurtful. But profanity
and mild swearing should not be conf
fused Profanity is taking the name
of God in vain mild swearing is just
blowing off little. The man WING

is ordinarily not what is termed an
undesirable citizen. The man Who
does harm is he who silently Nurses
a grievance, broods over it and finally
does something that hurts his fellows.
But the man who is wrouged and Just
swears a little bit about it, usually
cools off pretty soon and then he's at
peace with the world.
