DURHAM, N. c., Sept. %, 1909,
SUING f0R DEBT.

It is rather seldom that a suit
for debt is aired in this courts
except there is malice, and
when a case comes up in which
malice is not apparent, it is out
Of the ordinary, and for that rea-
son, the fact that the local Y. M.
C. A. is suing people who pledg-
ed TO give certain amounts to
the building fund, is worthy of
note.
The fact that people should
feel so kindly toward the estab-
ishment of such an institution
before it was even begun to
pledge themselves to give
amount in excess of their ability,
IS due to the object of the organ
ization, but that before the in
situation has been in operation
bng they become so careless
about il as to neglect their
pledge, is evidence that their is
something wrong. 1t is said to
be law that such pledge is col
ectible. but it certainly looks
ike straining the matter to pro-
coed against a man at the law.
Generally speaking the good
feeling that was stirred up be-
fore the building was erected
has been checked a great deal,
and the interest now shone is
not what might have been ex-
pected. People do not hesitate
10 say that they seldom go inside
the building and do not feel that
they are missing much.
1t is rather a delicate matterto
sue a man for debt, and when il
comes to the point where a so
called christian institution sues a
man that pledged and failed to
pay for good reasons, it looks like
the limit has been reached. One
man says That when ne plenged
h had just raised a mortgage on
MS little home ant felt good, but
soon afterward sickness over
took him, which cost enough to
throw him behind for several
years, ana that he could not fee.
good toward an institution that
payed a lawyer to enter suit
against him of the money vol.

PRINTS TICKETS AS NEEDED.

German Railroads Have Unique Ma
chine for Reducing Work.
With a view of reducing the work
of railroad ticket Office, and for the
purpose of rendering the pasteboard
or other material of ticket valueless
UP to the moment of purchase, an In
genious printing machine which prints
the tickets called for, has been in
vented and placed In use In Germany.
Now, instead of being surrounded by
thousands of different tickets for the
stations of the railways Of Germany
there is only a small unpretentious
machine standing beside the clerk at
the ticket window. In this, the tick
cts are printed with lightning rapid
ity when the travellers give their des-
tination. The only stock the clerk
has to trouble about 1t an adequate
supply of blanks. while the only book
keeping is the totalling of an auto
matically printed duplicate record
upon which every ticket printed and
sold is mechanically registered by the
machine.
The machine Is AZ inches long by %

height. 1t has series OF small

DEVIL FISHING AS AN INDUSTRY.
Pacific Coast May Provide Much Es-
teemed Food for Japan.

A new industry offers for the fishermen
of British Columbia-the pursuit of devil
fish, otherwise octopus, or cuttlefsh.
country for canned devilfsh, and in
British Columbia waters there are devil
fish to can. The public on this side of
the Pacific does not generally regard the
devilhsh as edible, but in Japan it is es-
termed as a food. and while it is not rat
ed as fine a delicacy as green turtle or
lobster the flavor is said to equal that
of the clam.
The octopus hunts for a sheltering
cave or an overhanging rock, where it
lies in wait for it's prey. 1t abhors the
sunlight. The japanese fishermen sim
ply provide shady retreat for the oc-
topus, and, when it backs into. the trap,
it is hauled to the surface.
The pursuers of the octopus provide
themselves with large earthern Jars more
than a foot in diameter, which are fast
ened to a rope and lowered into the sea.
When the devilfish comes looking for a
place to ambush its enemy the earthern
jar appears to fulfil its needs Backing
into the jar the octopus permits its ten
tacles to wave about like seaweed. Half
concealed it appears to be as harmless
as a bunch of kelp, but when a fish
comes along there is a swish of the long
arms and the victim is held by the suck
ers and forced into the rapacious NAV.
The fisherman simply sets his traps, re-
turns the next day and pulls them to the
surface and removes the octopus from
its hiding place.

FISHING FOR SHARKS.
Large Specimens Caught on Lines Along
the Mexican Coast.

The shark fishing season is on here
now and furnishes quite a pastime for
those addicted to such dangerous sports.
The sharks seem to be bOlder than usual,
very large ones coming into the bay,
while generally they keep out toward the
entrance.
Yesterday quite a large one was caught
from one of the piers. 1t measured
over two meters in length and caused
quite an exciting battle before the fish
ermen got the second harpoon into it.
This morning another much larger one
was caught by some fishermen in boat.
1t was only subdued after a hard strug-
gle and finally towed alongside the sea
The animal was near three meters long
and was still alive after being hoisted
out onto the dock and it slashed around
at lively rate, causing the crowd that
had gathered to see it to scatter in all
directions to avoid its enormous tail.
After being killed the animals liver was
removed and it measured more than three
feet in length. This furnishes a very fine
transparent oil that is used for many
purposes.
Only short time ago Capt. Washburn
Of the Ward Lines tug Neptune caught
one of these monsters and came very near
losing out with him. as the fingers of
both hands were so badly burned by the
line which held the shark that he was

CRANBERRY NOW HAS A RIVAL.
Jelly Made from Calyx Of the Roselle, a
Tropical Newcomer.

Introduced several years ago into Cali
fornia and Florida, the roselle deserves
wider cultivation than it now enjoys.
1t is so simple and its requirements so
few that in the tropics and subtropics it
should be an indispensable plant in the
garden of every family.
This fact, in view of its peculiar adap-
liability for jelly making, should cause
the roselle to become plant of consid-
cradle Importance in the United States.
says Country Life in America.
OF rather low nutritive value, the
thickened calyx possesses excellent quail
ties for the manufacture of jelly and al
led products. Preparations made from it
closely resemble in color and flavor those
made from the cranberry.
The roselle is an annual and conse-
quently seed for planting must be saved
every autumn. As usually planted-that
is, in February and March-the roselle
attains a height of from to feet.
The large yellow flowers, each with a
red eye, fade before the day is past, and
the subsequent enlargement Of the
calyxes is then very rapid. In less than
three weeks they attain their full size
and are ready for picking.
