WHALE WAS A FIGHTER
ExAcrED HEAVY PENALTY FOR
DEATH OF HER CALF.
Hunters Paid Dearly for 4lunder OF
Man Who Welded Rarpoon--
Amazing vindietiveness Shown
by Ocean Monster.

The gray whale, huge mammal
that inuabits the North Pacific ocean,
and is most often found along the
American coast, particularly in the
Gulf of California, makes so vigorous
a fight when attacked and is so terri
BILE an adversary that it is known
among sailors as the devil-flsh.
These huge sea mammals are some
times source Of much danger to
peaceful passing boats, having the
same effect as a cow on railroad
track. A vessel bowling along at full
speed, hitting one Of these immense
bodies broadside blow is visibly dis
turbed, and If the ship is small and
weak there is often wreck
1t has always been standing order
among. the whalers that calf should
never be injured when the mother is
near. Neglect of this order was once
the Cause Of catastrophe. A feet
of thirteen American whaleships was
off the coast Of Lower California, and
ffty.two boats, four from each ship,
were out In some way, in striking
a large COW whale, harpoon trans
fixed her calf, which was at her side,
and killed it instantly.
The mother quickly satisfied her
self that the calf was dead, and then
turned upon her aggressors like: q,
veritsble demon Of destruction. ;;..:.I
While carefully avoiding the: exsS
posure of her body to attack. she,
spread devastation among the fotillas
When she arose to the surface twas:
but for a second. to emit an eypfI,aii.

struction of one. already ,hopelessH3
damaged. Every blow was dealt #Hh
accuracy and an appearance Of pre-
meditation. The speed of the, monster !,
was 80 great that she appsafed,ihl.;
most simultaneously at widelgYsebaaTT;;
ated points. Not content with deal,
ing one tremendous blow at, q b9atf
and reducing it to bundle OF loose
boards she attacked the wreckage
again and again. @i:-',;;i'Ha :
Utter decentralization seized even
the veterans. The distance to the
shore was great. and the huge whale.
so far from spending her fury, seemed
only to grow more desperately in
earnest as the work OF destruction
went on AT last two boats succeeded
in reaching the beach. The crews
had hardly leaped overheard to run
their craft up when close behind
them in the shallow water appeared
their relentless enemy. She was just
too late.
Out Of the fifty-two boats only two
escaped unchanged. More than fifty
men were badly injured. and six. one
OF whom was the unfortunate origi.
nator Of the mischief. were killed
outright.

Healthy Baby is
Precious Blessing
To Make It healthy and Keep ii healthy
use a reliable baby
L1T1fVe

In spite of the greatest personal
care and the most intelligent atten-
ton TO diet babies and children will
become constipated. and it is a fact
that constipation and indigestion have
wrecked many a young life. To start
with a good digestive apparatus is TO
start life without handicap
But as we cannot all have perfect
working bowels we must do the next
best thing and acquire them, or train
them to become healthy. This can
be done by the use Of a laZauTe-tonic
very highly recommended by great
many mothers The remedy is called
DR.. CaldWells Syrup Pepsin and has
been on the market for two genera
tons Tt can be bought conveniently
at any drug store for fifty cents or
one dollar a bottle, and those who are
already convinced Of its merits buy
the dollar size.
It's mildness makes il the ideal medi-
cine for children, and it is also very
pleasant TO the taste It does not hide
behind the name Of a fruit or Tege-
table and yet it IS genuinely harmless.
Very little Of it is required and its fre-
Quent use does not cause 1t to lose It's
effect, as is the case with so many
other remedies.
Thousands can testify to its merits
in constipation. Indigestion bilious
