WHALE TANGLED IN CABLE.
That Was Why Communication With
Alaska Ceased.

A big whale recently played havoc
with the cable connecting the Terri.
tory of Alaska with Seattle. and i,
cost Uncle Sam many dollars to re.
pair the damage.
Sent north to discover the cause oil
a sudden interruption of cable service
between Valdez and Sitka, Captain
Latin, of the United States cable shil
Burnside has just returned here with
an interesting story The cable ship
picked up the cable near Cooks Inle
of Sitka and found enough work tt
keep the crew busy for several days
A whale feeding on the bottom OF
the ocean and swimming along with
it's mouth wide open in order that the
meshes OF whalebone might catch an6
hold food collided with the cable. The
cable became entangled in the lons
punches Of whalebOne hanging from
great fish in it's struggle to spit out
the cable turned over and over, dived
and leaped until the inch and five
eighths Of wire rope was twisted and
kinked in tangle worse than the
famous Gordian knot Of OH.
Unable to free itself the whale
drowned, and the crew of the Burn
side ney1r had a worse job of lifting
a cable chan when they tried to haul
on board the wire some miles off Cooks
Inlet. When the twisted and knotted
cable was finally brought on deck the
partly decayed carcass of the whale
was still attached to it.
The cable was severed and again
connected and put into service while
the ships crew cleaned UP the kinked
section of cable. 1t is believed that
more than 200 feet of cable was twist
ed into a knot. The cable did not
part because of it's tensile strength OF
10000 pounds.
Some years ago the cable was found
twisted and knotted in like manner
and now Captain Latin thinks he can
explain the reason for it. The kinked
cable then caused a great deal Of dis
cussion among sailors and gave rise
to the theory that it had been twisted
by jagged rocks turned over and over
by a submarine earthquake-New
York Sun.

Four Pneumatic Cows.

The town Of O'Brien has four pneu-
matte COWS, thanks to Freddie Kupp,
aged II years, who has seen fit to in
troduce this innovation to the barn
yard world,
Some little time ago Freddie be-
came displeased at Seth Morris an
O'Brien ranchman, and decided chat
Seth shcul be made to seel the weight
Of Freddies displeasura. Some boys
might have heaved rocks through
Seth's windows, or "swiped" his fruit
and vegetables. Or put some of his
live stock out of commission. This
was not Freddie's way, however. He
hid his disDleasure and waited for a
chance to 'get back at Mr. Norris"
A couple of days ago it came to
Frederick's attention that Mr.. Morris
wanted to buy five nice mich cows.
Freddie, sitting on a fence and watch
ing spring creep over the White River
Valley, thought and thought. He
knew of four cows for sale cheap, but
they were not mich COWS, and Seth
Morris wanted mich cows. Then the
great idea came.
Frederick went to the farmer own
ing the four nonmilch COWS and ar
RANGED for their purchase, at $50 Ter
COW. Then he secured an ancient
bicycle pump.
I'll make them look like milch
COWS, for $40 apiece Freddie conf

ey at once. | need it,
The COWS looked mighty good to
Mr.. Morris. They looked as ii they
could give gallons and gallons Of milk.
He bought the cows, paid for them.
The fist time he tried to milk them.
however, the net result was several
cubic feet of compressed air.
Expert testimony secured by Mr..
Morris is to the effect that he cannot
prosecute Frederick Kupp, although
at the very first milking even the air
supply has been exhausted from
O'Brien's first pneumatic cows. Seat

We take pleasure in recommend
ing Mr.. O. E. Rice, who has been
Principal and superintendent of our
city schools now one and one-half
years. We ever found him a court
eous gentleman, and capable edu-
Gator in our schools His methods
are of the best, his Judgment and
tact good. The progress of our pu-
pills satisfactory. He had what few
principals enjoy, the esteem and con-
fidence of his entire corps of teach
ers. We found him to be a true
teacher, and one to whom the moral
and intellectual training of our boys
and girls may safely be entrusted.
Owing to illness brought on by
over-work, he rendered his resigna-
ton at the close of the fall term, to
give him an opportunity to rest. He
goes from us with the very best of
wishes from his pupils, teachers and
our citizens generally.

A. G. G. lddaell was once best man
at wedding at which one Of the
presents was, to say the least, uncon-
ventional. This is his story in Notes
From the Life of an Ordinary Gentle-

raised among the spectators when it
was rumored that tall oak box
placed against the wall contained a
skeleton, and all sorts of rumors were
rife as TO the significance Of such
curious wedding gift. The real ex-
PLANTATION was simple. An eccentric
old gentleman had ence found the
bride, who was fond Of drawing, max.
Ing n study from skull and had
vowed that he would give her a whole
skeleton when she was married. The
result was that after protracted nego.
tiation he secured the framework OF
an Austrian grenadier, which, be-

import. This was not the sole trouble
connected with the gift, rs when the
