HOW SHARK Is HARNEssED
Trick by Which Sailor Pays Debt to
MerclIess Member Of the
Finny Tribe.

The sharks jaws are pried open to
the fullest extent; a 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 close and
frightened with a clove-hitch round
the f1sh's TAIL behind the wide tail
flukes It Is thus the sailor harnesses
his enemy.
., The clamp Of the cruel Jaws drives
. the two1nch long teeth deep into the
tough spar. The tight line holds 1t in
place, and, struggle as he may, the
shark fails to move the spar an inch
from it's position. AS a finishing
touch, the sailor drew his knife blade
across the sharks eyeballs and let
him go.
Bitted and bridled, blinded, with
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.

among the fishes till starvation and
sheer misery ended his existence.
Cruel? OF course it was. But sure
ly, like the venomeus snake, the shark
has long put himself beyond the pale
Of human mercy. softshearted as he
usually is, the sailor-man has a long
memory. 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 a heavy debt against all the shark
tribe for many lost mariner, and,
when the chance comes to settle old
scores, the sailor pays it to the full.
Besides the thing has the sanction OF
immemorial custom. It was some old
Phoenician, trading out of Tyre to the
far Cassitorides, who, probably, first
put the trick in practice.-Wide World
Magazine.

IS
ASKED To SEND
A POST CARD
GENERAL MANAGER LILLARD HAS
DESIGNATED FRIDAY, SEPT. 20,
AS PENSACOLA INTERSTATE
FAIR POST CARD DAY"

Another novel manner of giving pub
licity to the Interstate Fair and help
ing to bring a big crowd to this city
on this occasion has been conceived
by General Manager Lillard. The idea
is to have a post card day, preceding
the opening Of the fair, on which day
everybody who is interested in the fair
Is asked to send at least one friend a
post card inviting them to attend the
fair.
Friday, Sept 20, has been decided
upon as the day to be known as Pen
sacola Interstate Fair Post Card Day
this date having been selected be-
cause it was far enough in advance
of the opening date of the fair to al
low those who receive these post cards
to make preparations and come to the
fair.
Mr.. I.illard urges everyone interested
in the success of the fair to mail al
least one post card on this date OF
course, there Is no limit and If any
person wishes to send a dozen to their
friends it will be appreciated that
much more.
Everybody is urged to keep the date
in mind and to send out card to
some person whom they really believe
is apt to accept the invitation. If this
day is generally observed and only a
small percentage Of the people receiv-
ing invitations attend the fair it will
add greatly to the fetal attendance
this year.
