jectiles that look like ordinary lead bull

In more serious cases bullets are used
Of smaller caliber than the pistol, thus
lessening their penetrating power.
Sometimes the wad is Intentionally

cases bullets of the right caliber are

| A CHRISTMAS
SURPRISE
BY EDWARD L. SCARRON
Copyright. 1910. by American Press
Association.

l am or was a telegraph operator.
I had been married long enough to be
the father Of small boy and know
what 1t is to have coal bills, doctors
bills. clothing bills. grocery bills-in-
deed, all kinds of bills-coming In and
a small salary with which to pay
them. My wife proved financial
gem or I don't know how we should
have made ends meet. l turned 1t all
over to her. and she brought the ends
together rs well as she could. felt
that a nest egg should he started, but
every time we tried to start one some
Of our small family was taken III and
q doctor must be called in and paid or
extra clothing must be purchased or
some one OF the many extra necessities
must be provided. and Ii didn't look as
II that nest egg would ever be started
or II 1t were started that II would be
continued.
Then another child. girl. came
along, and what before was an even
thing between salary and necessities
began to be n gradual running behind.
One day n gentleman came into the
telegraph office where l worked and
sat down at u desk to write n mes
sage. He seemed to be doing more
thinking than writing. After sitting
there an hour or more he got up and
went out. In another hour he came
back, wrote out a message and handed
1t IN 10 me.
II should use cipher for that" he
said, "but haven't one. You'll have
to send it in plain English. as have
written It. There's no time to COM
municate by mail"
counted the words. told him the
cost, which he paid me. and took his
departure.
saw that the message was an I'M
portant one, considered In financial
sense. 1t was the announcement to
parties In New York that the sender
had completed the amalgamation OF a
number of companies into one trust.
provided his action were ratified by
the New York parties. In order to
close the deal he must explain what
was proposed and get their authority
to do so. 1t occurred to me that an
operator in a financial center might
sell out his secret for big price and
make a lot of money out OF 1t. 1t did
not occur to me to take advantage OF
my position to make money, for the
reason that 1 have always been op-
posed to making money dishonesty.
But saw no necessity for sending the
message In such form that 1t could be
used by any except the parties for
whom 1t was intended. We operators
are used to various devices for Keeping
such telegrams from the public. and |
knew a very simple method of sending
the message whereby only those for
whom 1t was intended could benefit by
1t. l sent 1t by this method.

LARGEST GAME FISH.

The Tuna Sometimes Attains a Weight

Charles Frederick Holder. the Cali

rover, a sort Of staggering musketeer
Of the sea. the largest of what may be
termed the game or bony fishes. at

1900 pounds and an approximate
length of fourteen feet or more. Such
a fish is very exceptional. though
specimens weighing 1900 pounds have
been taken on the New England coast.
I once entered school of such tunas
in the Santa Catalina channel In big
launch. The school divided to port
and starboard as We passed through

fishes that appeared to be more than
half as long as the boat.
"These fishes spend the winter in
warm iautuueS uuu migrate uoTtu as
far as the mouth Of the St Lawrence.
They are found in the Mediterranean
and north to the Loffoden island. yet
80 far the efforts Of anglers. except at
Santa Catalina. have failed to take
them with the rod. Even here there
is a stretch of but eight miles or so
where they can be satisfactorily play

Portland. When near Hubbard, he
fell asleep on the track, with his

that he is reputed to have had an
