BATTLE WITH HUGE DEVIL FISH
Fisherman In Monsters Tentacles Is
Saved by Companion, Who Goes
Overheard with Knife

Brooklyn, N. Y.-The late Jules
Verne and Morgan Robertson may
hereby take notice that fictional devil
fishes have a noteworthy rival for
fame in the devil fish which attacked
Joseph Lorber and William Buckholtz.
of Baltimore. Lorber and Buckholtz
arrived here from months fishing
trip off the Newfoundland Banks a
few days ago.
1--WE were trolling for horse mack.
erel and hooked a 600.pounder that
dived under the boat and tipped it
until | was dragged out into the wa
ter. I struck out in the direction of
the disappearing boat; then all of
sudden what looked like a big log
loomed in front of me and l clutched
at it, to be clutched back by three
long, Shiny tentacles that wound them
selves around my waist and neck.
and the octopus went down together.
When we came to the surface I
saw that the sea all around us was
colored a murky brown and l knew
the devil fish had thrown out his
spume to cover the fight.
Next thing l knew Lorber was he
side me yelling encouragement as he
slashed the arms of the octopus. He
hacked off two of the tentacles around
my body; shipped off third that was
choking me to death and then slid in
an uppercut that must have reached
the heart of the monster, for it sud-
denly sank and left us two swimming
on the ocean surface alone. Lorber
dragged me aboard the boat and after
doctor had dressed the wounds we
started for home"
Buckholtz exhibits three nasty
wounds to prove the remarkable
| story.

THRIVED ON POISON.

Prof. Lantz's Rats Seem to Be Yearn-
ing for More "InfaIIibIe Remedies"
Washington, d. C.-When Prof.
David E. Lantz of the Biological Sur
Yey went home for the night he left
In cage containing twenty-four rats
kept for just such experiments a
quantity of rat poison which the max
ers declared to be infallible. The pois-
on was advertised to kill the husliest
oa rats and mummify the carcasses so
that there would never be bad odor.
Next morning Prof. Lantz took a
book at his poison squad. Not a rat
was dead, and all seemed to be look
ing for more food. The same rats
have been on this sort of duty since
last May and have consumed all sorts
of patent rat poison. Prof. Lantz has
experimental a good deal with rats
and hopes some day to find microbe
which will cause an exterminating
epidemic among them. -

TRAIN GETS MELANCHOLY COW.
Gretchen, Resentful of Being Offered

Grstchen, ReSentful or belng OHered
for Sale, Goes to Her Death.
Great Notch, N. J.-Richard Jaco-
bus, farmer living near here hard by
the Erie Railroad, decided three days
ago that he could do very we'll with
out Gretchen, a bIindle milch COW
that had been in the family several
years. A wagon road runs by Jaco-
bus front yard, and so he decided
that as good way as any to get
Gretchen on the market was to tie
her in the yard under a tree on which
was this sign:
Fresh Cow for Sale"
JacobuS meant no reflection upon
the matronly dignity of Gretchen, who
is, or was, of a Teutonic and melan-
choly temperament. But now Jacobus
believes that either Gretchen thought
she was being labeled flighty and
smart-alecky, or that she grieved be-
cause she was not wanted any longer
in the family, or that she was shocked
into the deep pit of melancholy by
the unaccustomed notoriety to which
she was being subjected.
This morning, as a heavy Erie
freight train started down the steep
grade in front of JacObus' house, the
brindle COW broke her rope, walked
gravely out through the gate, and was
run down and killed by the train.

WOMAN CATCHES RATHER.
Mrs. kimble Rravely Trapped Reptile
With a Milk Pail and a String.

With a Milk Pail and String.
Millbrook, N. J.-Mrs. Lydia Kim
Bile, of this place, was out berrying in
the meadows a mile from her home
when she encountered a huge rattler
with ten rattles.
Mrs. Kimble was just reaching out
over some low branches for cluster
of huckleberries when she heard a
whirring noise on her left. She
glanced around and saw the rattle
snake, coiled and ready to strike.
Without altering her position, Mrs.
Kimble deftly turned the large milk
pail she carried upside down and
dropped it over the reptile. She then
fashioned a moose out of a piece of
twine she carried with her. Lifting
the edge of the pail, she coolly waited
for the snake to dart out its head.
When it did she dropped the moose
over the protruding head, and, with
a quick jerk, swung the long, squirm-
ing body from her. AS Mrs. Kimble
was after berries first and snakes Sec
ond, she hung her prize to the branch
of a nearby tree and continued pick
ing berries. When she had finished
she returned for the reptile and
brought it home.

mate exponent began looking for q
model on which to exercise his plastic
art His search was rewarded in a
photograph which he found in posses
sion of Prof. Charles Eliot Norton.
His first study was expressed in a
plaque, his second in a medal and his
third, which pleased him best, in the
design which will appear on the coin.
Each study idealized somewhat the
preceding one, while preserving the
essentials of strength and simple earn
estness which characterized Lincoln's
countenance.

Mr. Brenner said. you will see that

to show the sunshine as we'll as the

has been to present a situation in
which Lincoln might have appeared

piece of money most familiar to the
masses 1t was Lincoln who said that
God must love the common people be-
cause he had made SO many of them.
I had rather have the head on the
cent than on the $40 gold-piece."
The Indian head, in use for more
than a generation on the cent and now
discontinued, shares the fate of its
predecessor, the eagle, for the reason
that it is easily counterfeited. Early
in the present year the government
decided on a change, but even then it
proposed to place the head of Lin
coin on a silver coin, probably the
half-dollar. Mr.. Brenner submitted
his designs at Washington. The head
was then assigned to the cent.

MAN INVADEs DEN OF LYNX.
Kills Leader of Pack of Five That
Caused Terror in Community.

Lowellville, Ohio.-Armed with a
big knife, William Smith, South
Carolina hunter, craWled into a den
of five lynx near here and killed the
leader of the pack. The battle lasted
intermittently for three hours. The
lynx was six feet long.
For several months the lynx have
been a terror to the community. They
have killed stock and attacked per-
sons. Their den was in a wild, rocky
ravine, and none dared attempt to
rout them. Smith organized a posse
to help him fight the animals, but
when he got inside the den the posse,
frightened at the growls Of the beasts,
fled in terror. The battle was fought
in darkness and the den was so small
that Smith was unable to stand UP to
his full height.

and Peterson, a lonely rancher, was
glad to do so, as he was favorably i'm
pressed with her.

SKIRT ALWAYS EVEN.
Marker lnsures Its Being Made the

Women who make their own clothes
owe debt of gratitude to the Penn
sylvania man who invented the skirt
marker shown in the illustration. Que
of the most difficult things about
dress-mal5ing is to make the skirt
hang even all the way around.
With this device the length of a
skirt may be made mechanically ac-
curate by the veriest tyro at the art,
and that in a very short time. The
marker is clamped to the edge of a
table, concave side out. The woman
steps up to it and with a piece Of

with pins, marks a line around the

two cupfuls of water; more If
it boils dry. Tie four bay

of a cupful Of sugar, one tea
spoonful of flour, butter the
size of a walnut and yolks OF
two eggs. Stir well together,
then add one cupful of butter

tract and bake in crust. Use
white of one egg for frosting.
Potato Cushions.-Cut pieces
, of potato into thick squares.
Dip in batter, made as if for
. pancakes. Throw into fat or
oil from which a blue smoke is
, rising (the stage reached after
it has ceased to boiD. The lat

: hot boiled rice add a large cup
full of finely minced chicken,
: well-beaten egg, salt and pepper
to taste, and sufficient cream

is marked. She then measures the
distance from the slot to the floor,
subtracts the number of inches she
wishes her skirt to clear the floor,
and then measures that distance all
around the skirt from the chalk-line
near the waist. 1t is easy to see that
the most skilful professional dress
maker could not gauge a skirt length
better than this, if as we'll.
