THEY LOST THE PRIZE.
But Then the Contenders Were Only a
Lot of Sea GuiIs.

LOT OF SSd 1UIISs
Some campers at a northern lake
once put a big fish on sloping rock
! near the waters edge to see what the
gulls would do.
A soaring scavenger soon spied it
and Swooped down for a feast.
Selling the fish in his talons the vo-
racious bird tapped it's great wings
and screamed greedily as he tried to
make off with his find.
But the fish was too heavy to be
lifted. The only result of repeated
attempts was that the fish began to
slide toward the water and soon fell
In with a splash.
Diving after it, the gull brought it
to the surface, and then began curl
GUS spectacle. Time after time the gull
hoisted the fish as high as his strength
would permit, only to weaken and let
the fish fall again. The noise attracted
other gulls and a battle ensued. First
one gull and then another would dive
for the fish, lift it part way above the
waters surface and be set upon by
other gulls until the fish slipped back,
sacrifice to jealousy and greed.
For almost an hour this struggle
lasted, ending only when all the gulls
were tired out. The prize was lost.
A fraction Of the energy thus spent
in scrapping over an object too big
to handle would have secured for each
gull an ample meal Of smaller fish,
with which the lake abounded.
Or, little cooperation, instead of
so much crazy competition, would
have lifted the fish to safe place on
dry land, where all the gulls could
have Toasted at their leisure.
But they were only gulls; hungry,
unthinking, gluttonous gulls
OF course, men would have known
better. es?1Cleveland Press.

DIET AND DIGESTION.
Length of Time Different Foods Re-
main In the Stomach.

Length of Time Different Foods Re-
main In the Stomach.
Few people could make an accurate
guess as to the length Of time different
foods remain in the stomach. The
popular ideas as to what are the most
digestible foods are all wrong, or near
ly so. In eating chicken, for instance.
one imagines that he is sure of a rapid
digestion, and yet chicken meat re-
mains in the stomach, under normal
conditions, for four hours. Duck.
which is generally supposed to be
much more difficult to digest than
chicken. remains for only two hours.
A hard boiled egg lasts for four
hours, which is much longer than the
average, whereas boiled fish remains
for only an hour and half.
It is very common mistake to sup
pose that well boiled beef is very easily
digested, while as a matter Of fact it
remains in the stomach for six hours.
which is longer than any other CON-
mon article Of food Tripe, on the other
hand, remains for only one hour in
the stomach and is one of the easiest
Of al foods to digest. ------.-

Glen Cove, July 3:-John Pierpont
Morgan, the fnancier, was shot at his
summer home here shortly before 8
o o'clock today The would-be assassin.
a man apparently of German descent.
who refused to give his name or any
account of himself, pushed by the
butler at the Morgan home with two
revolVers, one in each hand.
The man pushed Immediately into
Morgan's presence and, after an ex-
change of words, opened fire with a
3 S2-cai1bre revolver The first shot
entered Morgan's groin and came out
at the hip. The second shot went
wild and before a third could be fred
Morgan closed in on his assailant.
He grappled with him and, with the
Dutler's assistance, disarmed the
man.
The man struggled desperately to
escape and succeeded once in break
ing away, but was recaptured before
he could get out of the house. He
was turned over to the Glen Cove DO
lice by servants of the Morgan house
hold.
At police headquarters the man
under arrest had every appearance
of being tramp. He refused all in
quiries as to his name, business and
home.
At the Morgan home 1T WAS re-
ported by some of the servants that
both shots had taken effect. Con-
hrmation of this by any members of
the family was unobtainable, hut it
was stated that a report would be
given out at noon A preliminary

saying that the wounds were NOT sa-
rious.

If he wanted to" said the prisoner.
This statement was made by the
man who shot Morgan today, accord
Ing to Justice Luyster, of Glen Cove.
Justice Luyster detailed his talk
with the prisoner as follows:
When first asked him about the
shooting, he replied, I am too digni-
fed to discuss this matter Il asked
him If he had any aecompliees, and
he replied, No one was in this but
me and God Almighty. l had no ac-
complices.'
'The prisoner is about thirty
years old and speaks with a distinct
German accent. He is tall, very thin
and dark. He wore dark clothes.
The statement that he looks like a
tramp is incorrect I do not think
he was tramp at all. l asked him
if he was a Jew and he replied, No,
l am a Christian gentleman. / am
! insulted at your remarks? You have
no right to assume such an attitude
toward prisoner. The prisoner
had two suitcases containing miseel-
laneous clothes and personal effects.
The justice stated that when he was
searched pieces of dynamite were
taken from the inside pockets of his
vest.
Justice Luyster said that the man
also had bottle which he believed
contained o-glycerine, and the
two revolyers with which he worked
his way into the Morgan home The
| would-be assassin arrived at Glen
Cove this morning and hired an auto
driven by Matt Kramer, who took
him TO East Orange, the Morgan
estate. At the gateway of the
estate he dismissed the driver and
