were Just as numerous.
Having feasted on the fat Of the sea,
the monsters OF the deep frolicked
some more. darting hither and yon
through the salt sea waves. Playfully,
the swordfish ran their swords be-
meath the bodies of the sharks and
tossed them high in the air. then deft-
ly caught them and repeated the per.

playful swipes at the swordflsh and
chased them all around the ship. This
continued for an hour. when one OF
the swordHsh erred In his judgment
of distance and caught shark on the

shark and ending his career then and
there.

which followed-from all accounts
was indescribably horrible.
One particular pair OF fighters were
watched by Purser Johnston. who said
that the sword Of the great fish broke

donia after missing a vicious thrust at
his enemy. Before the swordsman OF
the deep could save himself by flight

Sorority Girls Read Their Bibles

nETROIT, Mich.-Sorority girls have
u taken to reading their Bibles. The
sixth verse OF Solomon's eighth song is
that part of the Holy Scripture. hold

"Set me as q seal upon thine heart.
as a seal upon thine arm. for love is
as strong as death; jealousy is cruel

Goals of fire. which hath most vehe-
ment fame"
That's the verse fraught with . dou-
BILE meaning for each sorority coed
who would peer into the future. and

How do they do It!
Listen.
First you get a small Bible. Then
you get door key and one-half yard
Of red twine. You open the Bible at
the eighth chapter Of Solomon's songs
and lay the key within the Bible SO
that the round part Of the key comes
out over the side Of the Holy book.
and the other end Just touches the
word heart" Then you close the book
and wrap 1t with the red twine. Then
two girls support the book suspended
by placing the tip Of the third finger
Of the left hand Snder the round part
Of the key. never touching the book. A
third person repeats the alphabet. A.
B. c, and SO on. and the key twists the
Bible around whenever the letter is
reached which spells the name of the
husband who is to be-" The while

soLAcE in HIS MISFORTUNE
Entombed Miner Had at Least One
Pleasant Thought After Two
Days Of Suffering.

Miners are among the most heroic
people in the world. Danger is always
beside them. and they are schooled to
believe that any time they will come
face to face with death. The result of
this is that they are humorous in their
bolGness.
In one of the mines of Pennsylvania
there was a cave-in which Imprisoned
a miner named Jack Thornton. The
accident happened on Friday after
noon, and the fellow laborers of the
entombed man set to work at once to
dig him out. 1t was not until Sunday
morning, however. that they reached
his prison chamber, and by this time
they were wondering whether he had
been suffocated or starved to death.
One of them stuck his head through
the aperture made by the picks OF
the rescuers and called out:
Jack, are you all right?"
"All right" came the reply. and then
after pause: What day is this?'
"Sunday!" exclaimed the friend.
Gee" exclaimed Jack, I'm glad of
that. That was one Saturday night
when those saloonkeepers didn't get
my wages. es."-Popular Magazine.

Waters were scarce in Baltimore.
A number of energetic, though unre-

emergency, and had been disguised in
dress clothes.

But amidst all the rejoicing said
