OYSTER MARKET UPSET
BivaIves Likely to Be Scarce
as Result of Announcement
of Pure Food Experts.

The decision Of the pure food specialists
OF the Department Of Agriculture that
the oysters In the Potomac river above
Blackstone Island are all contaminated
With disease germs has upset the oyster
market here, and the dealers predict tina,
oysters will be scarce this season. The
district affected embraces about half the
oyster-producing portion of the Potomac
and some of the beds condemned were
considered the best oyster-producine
grounds along the river
1t Is stated that the Maryland and Vir-
ginia authorities will have oysters from
the prescribed district subjected to the
tests tor germs to ascertain if the gov
eminent experts are correct, and If they
find they are, 1t is said, efforts will be
made to stop the pouring of sewage
into the river before being properly ds-
injected.
Since Wednesday there have been only
four arrivals Of oysler-laden craft, and
yesterday afternoon there was but one
vessel, the slOop Volunteer, with oysters
aboard at the 18th street wharf, and she
mad but 32o bushels Earlier in the day the
buseye Quickt,me had arrived With 25J
bushels OF the b.valves from B.ak. stone
Island, but SO heavy was the demand
that she sold out before noon, and last
night left here for aown-r.ver to get
another cargo. The dealers at the wha r,
state that they do not know what vessels
are on the Potomac beds loading. and
they do not look for any heavy arrivals
Of oyster-laden craft in the next day or
two.

ter fishing service on the Potomac. The
new sails are sharp, like those of a bug
eye. and replace the regular heavy square

made in the vessels rig to facilitate han
ding OF the sails and also because the
Ballaneer has been fitted with a power
engine. and her sails are but auxiliary,
to be used in case of emergency. She is
at anchor in the harbor or the 18th street
wharf.

wore hoofs. Poets went into ecstacies
over this animal, and prose writer's wore
out the language In his praise. I grew
up with the idea that the highest ambi-
ton of every sane man should be to
own an Arabian steed. In the course of
my pilgrimage I had the opportunity to
make the acquaintance Of many horses
Of this brand, and I found them whited
sepulchers. How they ever got such a
reputation for speed, beauty and endur-
ance is puzzle that has cost me many
sleepless nights. One good American
broncho with a eve neck and a dark
stripe down its back is worth all the
Arabian horses you could pack into a
furniture car.
"All the natural history books have
stories about the remarkable memory of
the elephant You all have read such
stories. Once injure an elephant. the
books say, and the animal will remember
the matter a lifetime when it should be
devoting it's faculties to something more
useful. Years afterward the injured an
lmal will recognize you at sight, and If
1t can get close to you there will be
trouble. 1 had read a hundred stories
OF this character and was filled with a
praiseworthy longing to put them to the
test.
"A circus came to the town 1 was
living in and went broke there, and the
sheriff levied on a lot of old bargain
counter camelS and other living remnants.
Among them was an elephant, which was
chained to a post back of the county Jail
for safe keeping. 1 fed that creature a
lot of things which were doped with red
pepper. The pepper burned his insides
until he rolled himself into wad and
howled. l went there and played that
trick on him every day for a week, and
he was such a chucklehead that he'd
always reach out his trunk for more re-
fresflments every time I approached. He
couldn't remember from one day to an
other. His memory, like his carcass, was
made of gutta percha.
Il had been taught when I was young
that the sheep Is the most timid Of ami
mails. 1 was young man before ever
saw a bunch OF sheep. l went into the
field to examine the critters out of curl
oSity, and while l was standing there
spellbound a gentleman sheep came up
behind and gave me jolt in the small
of the back that knocked the rivets out
Of five ribs. So you see how much faith
you can have in animal stories
