Prudence was little girl who lived
great many years ago, when this
country was all woods and very few
people lived here. At that time there
were women who were supposed to
be witches and were punished and
sometimes killed.
Somebody told Prudence that one
of these witches might be seen sail

at midnight. She wanted to see, so
she sat up one night and watched.
Her sister Priscilla woke up and saw
her at the window, and told her she

NEW YORK, June What Is said
to be the nearest approach to the
mythical mermaid was brought here
on the American liner Philadelphia by
George Victor OF Portuguese East
Africa, who expects to exhibit It, 1t
reposes in a chemical filed. box, with
glass top. on the boat deck OF the
liner.
1t is a well-developed female of the
dugong, or manatee, an aquatic herbi-
vorous mammal OF the sirenia group.
1t was captured In Delagoa Bay by
Kaffirs. II got within a wire net in
closure, and the natives, after fight
during which one man was injured,
succeeded In getting a rope about its
tail.
The mammal had come in search OF
young one which had been killed
some nights before. The natives
frightened 1t into shallow water by
beating the water with long sticks. II
smashed n boat before II was hoisted
on board, and died soon after capture.
1t is eight feet long and weighs 1000
pounds.
II Is a strikingly fine specimen and
bears great resemblance to a human
being. Mr.. Victor gave view during
the voyage, and every passenger had
a chance to see the monster. When
captured It's skin was light gray, but
chemicals have darkened II to the
color OF elephant hide. There Is a
prominent upper lip and a massive
chin.
According to Mr.. Victor. the cura-
tor Of the Pretoria Museum said IL
was the only one of its kind known
TO have been caught.

Mrs. McOarty who baked the first
cotton -four bread, thus describes It:
1.-The bread looks very much like
whole wheat or brown bread. II is
rich and sweet and has heavy crust
similar to graham bread. The ginger
snaps I bake are crisp and snappy,
the buildings and fruit cakes very
rich in flavor. Both the bread and
