manatee, giant sea-cow, in the shall

The sea-cow is supposed to have
come up from the more southern wa
ters of the gulf. 1t entered the Lagu-
ma Madre at the pass which separates
the island from the mainland and was
seen by the fishermen struggling in q
shallow part of the strip of water.

AvARIcE TALE FROM PARIS
Woman, Rather Than Pay Sisters

woman's avarice comes from Laval.

Bouchers resided two sisters, Glen.
entine and Fanny Manguy, aged sew
enty-two and seventy-four years. The
old women held aloft from their neigh
bors. They rarely left their rooms
and their only visitor was a nun.
The sister had not been seen for
seven weeks. The neighbors became
anxious and wondered what had oc-
CURED. The police were informed.
The other morning a policeman was
annoyed by disagreeable odor He
assembled the stairs and Knocked, at
the door OF the sisters room. The door
was not opened, but an angry Voice
within babe him go about his business.
The policeman procured a ladder,
and affected an entrance into the
rooms by opening a window. A ter
rible spectacle met his view. On a
mattress lay one of the sisters. She
was Ill. Asked where her sister was
she replied that she was lying dead
at the foot Of the bed. The eldest sis
ter had. in fact been dead for seven
weeks, and the other had remained by
the body. which was now In q state
Of putrefaction.
When asked why she had not mott
fed Of her sisters death. she declared
that she could not pay for the funeral
expenses. On the room being searched
$500 in bank notes and gold was
found. The old woman preferred to
remain by the body rather than pay
for the burial. The sister was re-
moved to hospital. and the dead
body was taken to the morgue.
