The pastor looked at the fellow
with a repugnance which he could

And it was astonishing how the
smile changed him. Cupid smiling

The pastor racked MS brains. He

he was resolved not to be prejudiced

GLOBE HELPS
 HURRAH OVER WATER SUPPLY
Gila County Comes in on Dam Celebration - Fish Fry, Roundup, Barbecue, Dances and Fireworks Added
Special to The Republican)

Special to The Republican,
 GLOBE, March 30-Gila county is just as much interested in the high water at the dam as Maricopa, and proposes to take part in the cele bration of the joyous fact with a! the enthusiasm it can possibly spare from indulging in mining and cattle raising. Here is what Globe has done about it:
 In an hour this afternoon, a com mittee collected nearly three nun dred dollars on subscription to finance a big fish fry and fireworks demonstration at the dam on the night of April IA. Vice President Marshal and Congressman Hayden will be guests of honor at this event.
 On the night of April 15, while the Phoenix, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler and miscellaneous Salt River Val ley crowds are at the dam, Globe will put up brace of dances-one at the lodge near the dam, and the other at FraZier's in New Town.
 Medler Bros, whose cattle outfit will be pulling off a roundup at ROunu MOunldl1l, lOur. IllleS rom lHt dam, will invite all tourists to visit the camp to see how the existing wild west work is performed. With several other COW outfits, these peo- pie may contribute fat young steers to a barbecue, in case it is thought advisable to hold one at this time
 Next week, Joe Prochaska of this city will make a trip to Phoenix to see how Gila county can cooperate with the dwellers in the valley in ad- ding somewhat to the celebration. Prochaska said today:
 "We don't want to butt in, but we believe it is just as much a mat ter for us to celebrate as it is for any of the rest of the state. so we are coming in with all four feet We contributed the land site for the reservoir, and so we are naturally in- terested in how it gets along, by hecki

A TALE OF A TIGER SHARK

Writing in Harper's Magazine for April of his visit to Thursday Island in the Torres Strait, Norman Duncan narrates some astonishing tales of the adventures of the natives with the savage tiger sharks of these wa ters:
 Tt is said that the coastal abori zine is not greatly afraid of a shark that he is match for a shark, indeed. in fair water, when not taken unawares. He may lose a leg O. an arm, or he may be carried off bodily; but in any event the dam age will be due rather to the cun ming approach of the shark than to the limitations of the diver. Fairly warned, he will dive to the bottom, Ioil the water. and thus elude the attack: and if he is pugnaciOusly disposed at the moment they say)- if the shark impolitely interrupts him at critical or deeply interested moment-he will give fight. It is true of course, that the naked divers are accustomed to escape by rolling the water; such instances are common; but I have no stomach for the tale that any man will go out of his way to challenge combat with twenty foot tiger -shark-even when angered by an untimely interruption.
 q recall two stories of marrow es- cape The enc concerns a young Japanese diver who was taking a crayfish to the surface, and all at once found himself in a furious en- gagement. It was incautiOus of the diver to have crayfish in his pos session; the sharks are inordinatesy fond of crayfish: and this indiscreet diver came out of the consequent en- counter with q iaoeratod thigh and one arm missing. The other story is hardly credible. related far from the scene; I cannot vouch for it, at any rate, having had no means of au- thentica ting it.. but as I have not hesitated to swallow it whole, and have been pleasantly moved to shud- : der and thrill and exclaim aghass, I will tell it for what it is worth. It seems that a black beche- de- nier boy, swimming. naked and abstracted close to the reef in search of clugs, awoke all at once to an agonizing situation. It was not that the shark was near-not that it had turned and was darting; but that his head was actually in the sharks wide-open mouth The black boy acted sharply; he withdrew his head in a flash, hay ing at the same time punched the shark Gas they put iD to distract attention from the matter in hand ; and he rescued himself after a brisk tussle, and lived to prove the ad- venture with a scared cheek.'
