HARVESTING A SHARK

D. ". 0. Pagan in the January Wide
 World Magazine
 The sharks jaws are pried open to the fullest extent; stout eight foot spar of tough timber, four inches by four in cross measurement, is fixed transversely far back in the angle of the jaw, the ends projecting on either side. A strong rope leading from the ends of the spar is drawn clcso and frightened with a clove- hitch round the fishs tail, behind the wide tail fukes. It is thus the sailor har- nesses his enemy.
 The clamp of the cruel jaws drives the two inch long teeth deep into the tough spar. The tight line holds it in place, and, struggle as he may, the shark fails to move the spar an inch from it's posi- ton. As a finishing touch, the sailor drew his knife blade across the shark $ eyeballs and let him go.
 Bitted briddled and blinded, jaws wide gaping, he swan through a limitless sea in never ending fatuous circles. The queer furnishings he bore scared away others of his kind. Lonely and silent he passed like Cain among the fishes till starvation and sheer misery ended his existence.
 Cruel? or course it was. But surely like the venomous snake the shark has long put himself beyond the pale of human mercy. Soft hearted as he usual ly is, the sailor man has long mem ory. The shark has followed for weeks in the shadow of his ship, and has watched each man of the crew with greedy. malevolent eye. There is heavy debt against all the shark tribe for many a lost mariner, and, when the chance comes to settle old scores, the sailor pays it to the fl:ll. Besides the thing has the sanction cf immemorial custom. It was some old Phoenician, trading out of Tyre to the far Casstorides, who, probably first put he trick in practice

New York Correspondence Cincinnati
 Times-Star
 If you happen to need a show girl in your family, now is the time to sub scribe. There are scores of them out of work in New York. and needing work very badly. "When the season opened" said Joseph NJ Gaites, q had my own troubles in trying to get show girls. I had to pay $40 a week for girls that in other years were glad to work for $3O. Lots of them wanted to make their own rules I'd like to oblige yuh,' said one naughty beauty, because I rully think I'd like yuh vurry well, MT. Gaites. But I can't stand for your stage manager. Either me or him would have to leave the show
 Last week the same girl came back to me, and offered tt work for $15 a week. I've got the same stage mana ger I told her Believe me. Mister Gaites,' said she, when a gell's been out of work as long as I have, there'd be something real soothing about bein' bawled out by a stage manager again. Gee! How I'd like to hear them words. :"
 Gaites has placed a dozen or so girls as models in department .stores-a posi- ton to which in good years the show girls would not consider at any figure. The other week he wanted two cho- ruses. He turned away 150 girls, gath cred by a single three line advertise ment He declares that if he needed 1000 bang up, guaranteed city broke, classy young women he could find them all in half a week. Many girls who for merly posed for artists are out of work. Paintings are not selling this year, it seems. And so many rim fire musical shows have failed that the town is full of the women who went out with them when the season opened. And at the same time" said an employment agent, T could place every one of those girls in domestic service, with good families. They would be paid from s5 to $10 a week, with room to themselves and two afternoons off. But they'd rather dive off the dock"

The unwashed Democracy

"I know very little of politics at the present time," said Louis H. Bonelli of the Bonelli-Adams Real Estate company of New York, "but some years ago l knew absolutely nothing.
 When I first felt the desire to cast my ballot I inquired of a friend in New York as to the difference between the two great parties and asked concerning those matters of state which each stands for.
 My friend was a republican. He told me that the wealthy voters of New York made up the republican party, and that democracy was composed of men who were forced to make a living and who go about with short pipes between their teeth. instantly decided that there must be merit in the cause of the men who are forced to labor for a living, and deter mined to cast my lot with them.
 q find that in the south nearly every body sbelongs to the democratic party. And the democratic party is stronger In the north and east at the present time than the republican party. It will re- ouire the candidacy of Colonel Roose- welt to save the republicans next year Roosevelt, incidentally, is the big man Of the world"

Vote Selling in Virginia

Adams county, Ohio, and Vermil- lion county, Illinois, do not monopo- lize the vote sellers or the vote buy CTS. zLee county, which includes part of Bristol, and some adjoining Virginia counties are indulging in the vote traffic At the last election it is claimed $36,O0O was paid out for votes in Lee county alone.
 The policy of the Virginia authori- ties is to secure confessions and the payment of the minimum fine, but every confession disfranchises a man for life in Virginia. A conviction operates in like manner. Thus far few confessions have been secured, and the grand jury is to be recon vened in February when it is expected that fully one thousand indictments will be brought in.
 Senator Cabot Lodge, who consid- CTS himself superior judge, says the ballot is breaking down in this coun- try, and he foresees without shud- der perhaps the establishment of a monarchy instead of a popular gov ernment.
 Something more drastic than fine is needed when vote selling is detected, and the vote buyer should be punished as well as the vote seller The vote buyers in Adams county, Ohio, escape unpunished by furnishing plenty of evidence as to the transactions. In ex-Speaker Cannon's county the evil was hushed up, and no one was pun ished. It is to be hoped the outbreak of vote selling in Virginia will be severely dealt with. Let it become a warning to all the rest of the south. Votes have been quoted in Rhode Island many years, but no one sees fit to punish the evil doers, and the practice goes on no doubt unchecked. Vote sellers and vote buyers should be punished alike, and in every coun- ty the authorities should be alert in detecting this great crime which strikes at the existence of the republic itself,

Achievement in Agriculture

The south's greatest achievement during the past two or three years has been in the line of agriculture. Much has been done in southern com- merce and in southern mining and manufacturing enterprise.
 Since the war small towns have grown to be large cities. Railroad mileage has more than doubled in 30 years, and now the trunk lines in the south are spending millions of dollars in double tracking. But when the farmer who used to require three acres to produce one bale of cotton makes bale to the acre more has been done to add to the wealth of this section and to promote prosperi ty in general than any other means. .
 The south that used to buy all the foodstuff consumed on the farm is now raising corn and hay on large scale, and will soon be seller of these products. The time is close at hand when corn as well as cotton will be a cash crop. The farmers are not only making a success of diversified agriculture, but they are full of en- thusiasm. The spirit of emulation has been more in evidence this year than ever before. The boys of the corn clubs are doing wonders. Ala Dama will certainly take rank before many years as a great corn state. lust as soon as the southern farmer produces everything that is used at ssome and has cotton as a surplus
 rop-a crop that is all velvet, so to
 oeak-he can hold it until prices suit

be obtained. A merger would have superseded the packers pool, known as postoffice box No. 247." After the failure of the proposed merger the National Packing company, with a capital of S15,000,000, was formed to maintain the combination so far as prices and division of territory were concerned.
 If succeeding witnesses are as dramatic as the first one was the trial will be the most sensational one of the entire antitrust series of gov ernment prosecutions. It is the first trial in which the government seeks to apply the criminal section of the statute to offenders.
 It is very plain already that the meat packers we're in a close combi- nation, and they handled one of the great necessaries of life. Their con- trol of the price of that necessary was complete, and their monopoly of it was nearly so. The trial of the packers will be watched with the deepest interest and the testimony will surely secure a place each morn ing on the first page. A complete uncovering of the meat trust is great ly needed, and it seems to be at hand. The government is proving a match for even the millionaire packers and their lawyers and managers.

FOR KANSAS CITy,s WIDOWS

Jacob Biikopf in the Chicago Tribune.
 Now, whenever family applies for a
 pension in Kansas City, Judge Porter
 refers the case to our Prevalent society,
 and to our board of public welfare for
 investigation. And it is only after these
 two agencies have submitted favorable
 report in the case that the judge grants
 subsidy, dependent largely upon the
 needs of the family. That utmost care is
 used in making an allowance is best evi-
 denced by the fact that thus far only
 one out of every three cases has been
 acted upon favorably. The most grati- flying feature in the administration of the scheme is that politics has been complete ly eliminated and that every family re- ceiving such a pension is under the con- stant care and supervision of the 1u- venie court, and as soon as the family income increases the pension is with drawn.
 At present. the juvenile court is spend- ing about s35O a month toward the main- tenance of 2S mothers and 115 children, the allowance received by any family being $22 month.
 Those of us who have helped to insti- ute the plan and have watched it with
 a great deal of interest are convinced that aside from the, purely ethical and moral considerations involved in the plan, 1t is economically cheaper to keep tho mother and children together than to commit the children to institutions.

suffragan Bishops

"rhe Rev. William r. Toll, who was cosecra ted in Chicago this week as "a bishop of the Protestant Episcopal church, will be styled 'suffragan bishop of the diocese of Chicago" said well informed layman. "In the ecclesiastical world the word suffragan is used in two ways. In both the church of Rome and the church of Englond where there are archbishops, the bishop, or 'ordl- nary of the diocese, is styled suffragah in relation to the primate or metro- nolitan. For instance, the Right Rev. Edward P. Allen, bishop of Mobile, is q suffragan of the Most Rev. the Archbishop of New orleans. The An glican bishop of London and all the other bishops of the Province of can terbury are suffragans of the Right Honorable and Most Reverend, the Archbishop of Canterbury and Primate of all England
 "The other sense in which the word suffragan is used is when 1t signifles an assistant bishop. There are many such suffragans in the church of Epg- land. The bishop of London has for his suffragans the Right Rev. Henry Luke Paget, consecrated Tor Stepney; the Right Rev. c. H. Turner, conse- crated for Islngton, and the Right Rev. John Primatt Maud, consecrated for Kensington.
 "In the Roman Catholic church in the United States suffragans are used only in their relation to an archbishop but in the Protestant Episcopal church of this country in which there are no archbishops or metropolitans suffra- gans as assistants are now in vogue. Bishop Toll is the third prelate con- secrated as suffragan bishop in the United States, the others being the suf- | fragan bishop of New York and the suffragan bishop of Philadelphia. Pre- lates of similar position in the Cath | ollie church are styled assistant or aux l Hilary bishops. In both the Roman Catholic and Protestant Episcopal churches in this country the term
 bishop coajutor is used for one conse-
 crated as an assistant bishop with the | right of succession--cum jure success
 sionia The suffragan or assistant
 bishops are not in the line of success 1 sion, and it is seldom that they are
 chosen to occupy the see of the bishop
 to whom they were subordinate"

IN HOTEL LOBBIES
That Underground Stream

While the sensational reports coneern- ing the danger which might result to Bir- mingham from the existence of an under ground stream are unfounded.' said George B. Ward yesterday, there Is no doubt but that there are bits of evidence which point unmistakably to the fact that such stream does really flow un- der the ground on which Birmingham stands.
 Tn front of the old Powell school house there was at one time an immense hole in the earth about 8 feet deep. This hole had no bottom. Continuous fall of rain not only failed ts fill this hole, but hardly dampened its strata. There is no doubt but that the falling water sunk through the hole into stream and eventually reached an outlet some- where in the district. At Avenue and Seventeenth street is an old well or spring which is an outcropping of the undercurrent.
 And there are other reasons why we believe that the mysterious stream does exist. But, of course, there Is no real danger"

,rr,.,s of , Governor

'sThere is no doubt" said w. N New bern, but that the governor of a state has his trials and tribulations. I have just seen Governor ONeal arrive from Montgomery. As he stepped from the train 15 men were ready to meet him. He was instantly surrounded and 1t re- ouired considerable effort on his part to escape to his room at the hotel.
 "In the crowd which met the governor were officeholders, applicants for Tat ap- pointments, newspaper reporters ana dangerous. To each, the governor was forced to answer questions and exchange pleasantries.
 "This must have been exceedingly bor- ing. It could not have been otherwfse' A governor, after all, pays lioerally TOT having won a political victory. The non or is his certainly, but also is the worry.
