Jay. Mr.. Leahy has the reputation Of
being one of the best amateur clam
diggers that ever piled his trade along
Rockaway beach, but he added to his
reputation when he caught the larg-

The crab, in addition to being more
than a foot wide across the narrow

inches long. not counting its tail, was
taken from the end of the pier at Hol-

A Dutchman was going TO cross q

drawn by a goat The toll man came
out and said: Here. you've got to

LONG LEGAL FIGHT
OVER LITTLE CALF

Rides Into Town In Prairie Schooner

Muskogee, Okla.-The battle for the

several months, and the indications
are it will continue until one or both
OF the litigants are dead or bankrupt.
When the row began the calf was
three months old and worth $40. 1t is
now seven months old, its rightful
ownership is still a matter of dispute,
and the cost of the suit has run to
$1,000
Nj. c. Rucker, a farmer, charged his
neighbor l.. P. Hatley, with the theft
of the calf and had him arrested. Hat
ley was acquitted and sued Rucker for
$4,000 damages. Rucker undertook to
replevy the calf. but Hatley retained
possession by giving a redelivery bond.
The hearing of the replevin proceed
ings before Justice Matt Thompson is
what Brought as witnesses practically
every farmer in Brush Mountain
township to Muskogee. The litigants
employed the ablest lawyers in Mus
kogee.
The calf-or. perhaps, a calf-also

schooner with a Brushy mountain ma

stern. both armed with a six-shooter
The calf wore two pairs of gunny-sack
trousers. a coat of the same material
and kind of peek-a-boo calico hat. All
this sartorial adornment was for the
purpose of concealing its exterior APP
pearance. 1t had been intended that
the calf be exhibited in the court room
But 1t had grown to a size that made
this undesirable.

A tragedy of the coast, the rough
portion of western Tasmania, has been
cleared up by discovery by two
young men, Common and Cooper. at
Cornwall. They caught monster oc-
topus twelve feet six inches long. three
feet thick from chest to back. and
three feet across the back. and on
opening the stomach found mans
shirt inside. The shirt was similar to

where the octopus was killed. The

dull, chilly weather and three
days later to find oneself in a
land of flowers and sunshine is
altogether delightful. So we
thought when, few months ago, we
landed in Leixoes, after a wonderfully
smooth sea passage. The land was
bathed In sunshine; 1t might have
been a day in June-an ideal English
June, writes M. Maxwell, In Country
Life. Though warm, the air was
crisp and fresh. and fragrant with the
scent of pines and flowers. In the
distance the mountains were still
slumbering in the purple haze of early
dawn; and all along our route to Opor-
to. the sea, a shimmering opalescent
blue, lay to our right. rolling up the
beach In immense foamy waves. BY
the wayside grew mimosa trees, one
mass Of blossom; camellias in full
bloom. red and pink and white, look
Ing like huge rose trees: orange and
lemon trees. laden with ripe golden
fruit; magnolias, myrtles, pines and
cedars; while vineyards. groves Of
olives. and plantations of evergreens
clothed the slopes of the mountains.
AgreeabIy Disappointed.
We had expected to see signs OF un-
rest and discomfort. and we were
agreeably disappointed Although we
travelled through the whole land, from
the north to the extreme south. and
visited every known and unknown
place of interest. we heard no refer
ence to political affairs. Citizens and
peasants alike seemed to be absorbed
In their daily routine. One would
never dream that so recently the
country had been the scene Of up-
heaval and revolution. However, we
did not trouble ourselves with ques-
tons Of government. We went to
Portugal to enjoy the exquisite seen

The rigor OF discipline seems unde-

ton. They are unaware that obedi-
ence is strengthening and peace CIV
ing. A military regime, with it's IRON
clad discipline. does not break spirit.
1t makes men ready for forced march

hurt the human spirit, then soldiers
would never win battles. Battles would
be won by mobs. Discipline does not
diminish life. 1t enhances life. and
so confers sense of peace.-Collier's
