shrewd Purchasing.

Little seven-yearold Fred, who lives
in one of Zanesvllle's suburbs, had
been ailing and his mother decided
that he needed a dose of castor oil.
Fred was told that If he were to
take the castor oil without complaint,
he would get cents to spend for can
dy.
Then his mother sent him to the cor
ner drug store with Is ceLts-10 cents
for the oil and 8 cents for candy.
Arriving at the drug store, Fred de-
cided to buy the sweetmeats first, and
told the clerk that he wanted nickePs
worth of candy.
"What kind of candy do you wantT"
asked the clerk.
"Gimme the kind you get the most
for a nickel" answered Fred.
The clerk complied, and then Fred
said, rather reluctantly:
"Now gimme some castor oil.
want the kind you get the least for q
dime"

fatal spot was missed by few inches.
However, the force of the blow, which
was delivered with both hands without
releasing the handle, was so great, that
1t depressed the creatures head, and
the head-on collision did not crash in
the side of the boat as it probably
would have done otherwise The top
of the head struck the bottom of the
boat, breaking the lance handle short
off against the side, and was con-
fronted with very serious defect in
my equipment. l had acquired, by
years of work with the lance, such
confidence in my ability to place II
where / desired that had not thought
it necessary to provide more than one
spade lance; but now my fish was very
much alive and fighting mad and l
was without spade lance.
The water was so thick that the
Manta could not be seen until very
near the surface, but Charlie kept the
slack of his harpoon hauled in and the
line showed the direction in which the
fish was travelling under water Cap
tain Jack steered the boat, which was
kept running, and that 1t was well
handled is shown by the fact that not
once in more than dozen rushes did
the devilfish reach the surface without
finding our boat on her back. Each
time | drove the lance through her
heart or brain one or more times, and
after the fight she showed % such
wounds.
Through all this fight there was one
uncertain and disturbing factor that
we were not in a position to guard
against-namely, that the great male
mate of the wounded Mania kept near
us until the fight was over and three
times nearly capsized us by pushing
the boat from the back of the female.
Once, just after we had been nearly
capsized by heavy blow from the
head of the male, and when the female
was fighting most violently, when we
We're all covered with the blood of our
victim and the boat was almost filed
with water, the youngest member of
the crew Uuther Dixon), thinking that
the end for all of us was near, tried to
force harpoon into my hand as he
screamed, Iron the big bull and let's
all go to h in tow of team of
devils !" l quote this to show the tenn
per Of the men. for while Luther, and
probably others of the crew, thought
this our last fight, neither he nor any
other man showed even a trace of fear.
Then the dying Mania raised her head
against the side of the boat and gave a
loud harsh bark or cough, and as ex-
claimed, watch her eyes looking two
ways at oncep, the stricken creature
slowly rolled one of her eyes, until
with that one only, she seemed to look
attall of us behind her in the boat
Before striking the Mania / had
looked at my watch and called out the
time, and as the big fish died, l again
pulled it out and asked, allow long?"
Not one of the crew placed the time Of
the fight at less than two hours and
when / told them that 1t had taken on
ly % minutes, they wanted TO see If
the watch Rad not stopped. The fight
was now over, the great female Mania
that we had come for was dead; but
there was still a man-sized job In front
OF us and we at once made the fish
fast to our stern and headed for Blind
Pass, more than mile away.

ment, for ! had a crew composed of
men who show at their best only In
time of danger. Scarcely a word was
| spoken until, in the midst of a wild
upheaval of the two madly frightened
Mania beneath US, the boat was flung
from their backs and was turning over,
when shouted, High side p which or

The boat struck head first and

great fish, for it was fully "a feet in

however, as to its gender, and a fe-
male was absolutely necessary.
She was now swimming on or near

most touching her all the time, and,
with all ready, we moved to the attack.

l drove our harpoons deep into her
broad back; then, with a great splash

ahead. AS the drogue was snatched
under, 1t threw water high in the air

brought the great ray to the surface
