WHALE WAS TOWING THE DoRY'
Monster Caught in the Trawl Line)
While Engaged in Stealing the
Captains Fish.

Capt. William O'Donnell Of the fish

ing travis several miles off Race Point
when his dory began to act strangely,
Gays the Boston Herald. The boat.
stood on its stern, then tilted by the
head and started out to sea at ire
mendous speed. The captain was ex-
.periencing a new sensation, and it
bnade him a trif1e anxious, because
there was no clew to the mysterious
power that was rapidly taking him of
eoundings.
With added momentum the dory,
forged away from the schooner, and
tts occupant, who admits he was
scared, cast off the trawl and crouched
in the stern of the boat so the bow
would not be dragged under water. But
the trawl caught, and two minutes aft
er the dory was flying through the
waves at such a rate that water began
TO slop over the sides.
The dory was rapidly leaving the
schooner, when the tension on the line
relaxed anG the dory presently stopped.
The captain hauled in the trawl and
found the hook stripped of fish as a re-
suit OF the speed at which they had
been dragged through the water. Near
the end of the gear, however, was
found the head of a dead cod, it's body
having been bitten off. That is what
makes Capt. O'Donnell believe a whale
gave him the terrifying ride out Cape
Cod way. He thinks the whale nipped
the cod and some Of the keen hooks
scratched its head and sides and dug
into the skin until the whale had
towed the dory a long way seward.

Germany Leads the World lii lmpor

Purposes.

From some statistics published re,
Gently by M. Ruan, the German min
lister of agriculture, the land Of the!
kaiser leads the world in the matter
of importing horses. In case Of war,
the Germans are bound that they will
be in possession Of a liberal supply Of
horses. For the last three years
there has been a slight decrease. the
cause being that home breeders are
doing we'll. In 1909 Germany Inn
ported 10000 horses at a cost of $780,
0O0, 900. Most of the imports were
made for draught purposes; light
draught horses numbered 43,600 and
were of the value of $4,000, 900. The
heavy draught horses numbered 48,i
500 and we're of the value Of 100000.
600. Supplies of the former class,
were drawn principally from Russia;
which sent 30,225 head; then came the
Netherlands, with 1924, Austria and
Hungary accounted for 2,625, Den,
mark for 467, and the rest were drawn
from France and Belgium. The heav-
lest of the draught horses were main
ly supplied from Belgium, 10000 be-
ing imported at an average price Of
1910. Denmark delivered 5000.
France 5,S47, Austria and Hungary
1850, Russia 2,051, the Netherlands
ga and England only 1875. In 1908
Germany imported 267 half-bred sires
at an average cost of $1,000, most of
them being from Belgium. Saddle
horses are put down as numbering
1852, of which Austria supplied 1916,
against 1927 from England. These
latter figures include the thorough
;breds. The favorite market for cheap
horses for Germany has been Russia,
which country supplied 1888 at an
average cost of SIS.

the young lawyer to state the amount

In this country the title has come
