Fish Stops Ship.

It is not often that a fish is large
enough to stop the progress of a
steamer, but an incident of this nature
occurred recently off the coast of Aus
tralia, when huge sunfish became
wedged under the port propeller Of the
steamboat Fiona. The engine, as the
account states, was brought up all
standing and the steamer stopped to
investigate the cause of the trouble.
1t was impossible to extricate the fish
at sea and the steamer, which for
tunately was provided with twin
screws, proceeded slowly on her way
with only one engine working. The
fish was removed at Port Jackson and
found to weigh two tons fourteen hun
dred weight. A fine specimen of the
sunf1sh, though infinitely smaller than
the one just noticed, is shown in the
series of mounted fish.-Museum

coolest Man Who Ever Sat in the
White House" Wanted to Be a
Good Fellow, but Did Not
Know How.

General Benjamin Harrison has
frequently been called the coolest
man who ever sat in the White
House. although history has inter
mittently striven to give this distinc-
ton to John Adams
Certain it is, the politicians and
public men of Harrison's day es-
teemed the twenty-third president or
the United States as one who had
greater intellect than temperament.
Especially the politicians, after they
had swarmed to the White House
following Harrison's inauguration,
confessed to one another that they
had found the new president icy.
They said with one accord that his
greeting was cold, that his handshake
was limp; and speedily there grew up
a popular impression that there was
no warmth of temperament in Benja-
min Harrison, although there was
general recognition not only of the
brilliancy but also of the profundity
of his intellectual powers.
But none of the politicians-nor, in

OSTRICH PROUD OF HER EGG

Iapse-May Be Jailed.

Bellingham, Wash.-W. F. Williams,
a resident of Wildwood, a suburb of
Bellingham, complained to Chief Of
Police Likins that his family has been
reduced to a state of nervous col
lapses by the incessant cackIing of
a hen ostrich which laid an egg the
other day and has been making a
noisy and vainglorious exhibition of
herself ever since.
81 threw rocks at the ostrich" said
Williams, "but, Of course, that did no
good, as the big bird simply rammed
her head into the sand and let me
throw. And you simply have to hit an
ostrich on the head to do any good"
Chief Likins advised the man to
swear out a warrant for the offending
bird and bring her into court.
The big plume producer against
which Williams complains is one Of
a herd of ten recently brought to this
city from California.

Eugene Hale, Defeated for Reelection
TO Congress by Stonecutter Named
Murch, Started His Political Ca
reer Anew, and Succeeded.

Eugene Hale, who retired from the
United States senate last March, is to-
day the country's most famous man
from Maine. He had been in the SEN
ate since 1881, longer service than
any other member now in the senate,
and he had been in public life and
public office practically continuously
since he came of age In 1857. But, so
far as | know, it has never been told
IN print how, after he had been a
county attorney for nine years, a
member OF the Maine legislature for
two years and member of the lower
house of congress for five terms he
began his political career all over
again.
A few days after Mr.. Hale had
been sworn in as a United States SEN
ator for the first time I met Thomas
B. Reed in telegraph Office in Wash
1ngton. He was in one of his delight
ful philosophical, contemplative moods
and he spoke Of the great enjoyment
he was then experiencing through his
discovery Of French classic. After
While the conversation drifted
around to national politics, then to
Maine politics and then l reminded
Mr.. Reed that in 1879, when a stone.
cutter of the name of Murch had de-
reated the new senator from Maine
in his sixth candidacy for congress,
predictions were freely made that
that was the end of Eugene Hale DO
litically"
Well" drawled Mr. Reed, that
might very well have been the end of
Eugene Hale if he hadn't begun all
over again. At any rate, I'm certain
that he wouldn't have got into the SEN
ate SO soon if it hadn't been for the
Greenback craze that swept over
Maine and leveled him, among others,
before it died down.
Not long after this fellow Murch
defeated Hale l asked Hale what he
was going to do.
'Tom,' he said, I am going to be-
gin all over again
How are you going to do that?'

Well he said, you know I served
two terms in the Maine house of rep
resentatives in 1858. l made my DO
ht1cal mark there and from there
was sent to congress. Now, they are
saying that l am dead politically, be-
cause. after serving five terms in the
house of representative Of the United
States have been beaten by an I'M
known, stonecutter, backed by the
Greenbacks, the labor vote and the
Democratic party. But didn't think
so; in fact, am going to prove to all
who say l am dead politically that
they are wrong, and I'm going to do 1t
by going back to the Maine legisla-

Man Began Over Again

ture and beginning my political ca
reer all over again.
We'll, the following autumn" con-
tinued Mr.. Reed, Hale was a candi-
date for his old seat in the lower
house of the state legislature. He
was elected easily from the town Of
Ellsworth, and back he went to Au-
gusta the same old Eugene Hale that
he was when he first took his seat in
that body. He did not complain at
the come down; he did not moan over
the fact that he was no longer in con-
gress. He applied himself assiduous-
ly to his duties as state legislator,
and the first thing his political enc
mics knew-the very ones who had
prophesied some time before that he
was dead politically-Hale's conduct
had SO won the admiration and re-
spect of the state that when it came
time for new senator to be elected
easily led the list of candidates and
won the coveted honor. ! am sure
that his demeanor during this second
period in the Maine legislature served,
more than any other one thing-more
than his long record in congress, more
than the fact that he had been offered
and declined the post of secretary of
the navy by President Hayes-to
cause his party, without dissent, to
insist that he succeed Hannibal Ham
lin in the United States senate. And

Relieved 1t Imperative That He Re-
main at His Post to Meet Pos
sibIe Attacks Against Founda-
tons of Commonwealth.

Melville w. Fuller of Chicago be-
zane chief justice of the United
States in 1883, being at that time
fifty-five years Of age In 1908,
after he had served twenty years, and
when he was seventy-five years of
age, some of the more intimate of his
personal friends ventured to hint to
him that 1t would be well, in view
of his advanced years, if he should
give some thought to retiring from
the bench. They intimated that he
would find abundant opportunity for
the cultivation Of those refined and
studious tastes which he had not en-
tirely neglected while serving as chief
justice Some of these friends knew
that he was as Industrious as in the
early days of his career at the bar,
which was characterized by unusual
habits of industry. Sometimes, often,
his studies were prolonged until late
into the night.
To these somewhat vague but we'll
meant hints the chief justice at first
paid no attention He turned them
aside by some kindly remark, some
times intimating, for example, that
he was still physically strong, and
sometimes in a spirit of jest, asking
his friends if they detected any men
tai impairment in him.
Therefore, after a time, the matter
was dropped But about year after
the arst suggestion Of this nature
was made to him, Chief Justice Full
ler's friend again, in kindly and
sincere spirit which he fully appre-
ciated, ventured still more earnestly
to urge upon him, that he owed it to
himself. to his family and to his
