SAYS SHARK MEAT Is GOOD
Writer Declares Flesh Looks ana
Tastes MUCH Like That OF Young i
Pig, but Is Not as Juicy.

A good many people do not know
how sharks meat tastes when it is
cooked. There is some talk of a gov
eminent investigation of this matter,
observes the Hartford COurant, so that
everybody may get the taste as second
hand. The writer of this paragraph,
owing to the fact that he was good
deal of a seaShore man at the time,
has tasted cooked shark for himself.
The flesh Of the shark, when South
ern cook presideS over the Kitchen,
looks very much like the meat Of a
young pig, and tastes very much like
that meat The main difference is that
the flesh of the infant hog is a trif1e
more juicy.
When one reflects that part of the
shark family was created with relish
for human flesh, or has been brought
to this liking by some millions OF
years OF evolution, it seems odd that
man, when he gets the chance, should
also like to eat the shark. 1t goes TO
show that in the general scheme OF e1-
istence nothing is wasted.
The shark can get good dinner out
of man, and the man can get gOod
dinner out of q shark. It all depends
on which one gets the other first. IN
either case it is fair eating for the one
who gets the dinner.

Family and Friends CT Young Indian.
apolis Officer Learn the Meaning
Of "Sans Origin"

The son Of q prominent indianapolis
business man recently received a COM
mission and was called fOr" service in
France, relates The Indianapolis News.
The family and many friends of the
young lieutenant were anxious to learn
of his safe trip across, and the father
received many inquiries about his
sons welfare during the weeks of ST
lence following his departure.
Finally a cablcgram was received
and the word was passed around that
the soldier boy had landed safely.
Someone thoUghtfully inquired just
where the cablegram came from, and
close inspection of the message re-
vcaled what was thought to be either
the port Of landing or the headquar-
ters of American troops. 1t was writ
ten plainly enough, across the top Of
the message-"San SOrigin." Specu-
latiOn was rife; Office associates
brought out aliases; maps and encyclO-
pedias were consulted to find out, if
near the scene of activities, at port,
or in the south Of France. Finally
someone with q knowledge of French
spoiled all the fun by informing the
eager group that 'Sans origin" was
the French equivalent to somewhere"
or, literally, without origin. The ca
bic operator who had copied the mes
sage had merely divided the, letters
in the two words at the wrong place.

This world is not such big place
after all. Recently, at Forty-seventh

in khaki met an Italian soldier with
one sleeve of his coat tucked In.
"Why," gasped the American. "Blen,
returned the Italian. The two had
met in Florence, Italy, three years ago.
On the lapel of the American there
was small nickel-plated model OF the
Statue Of Liberty, EMBODIED in an
American flag. The Italian asked II
he might have it for keepsake:

back to you" And when the Ameri-
can and Italian came face to face
the man from the sunny climes still
wore the emblem of Liberty on his
breast. "And must I return it?'' he
asked. 'Well, hardly" returned the

The Dream Of a World Court.

The thought of an international

new, writes Oscar Hallam in Case

William Penn, in 1893, proposed the
establishment of European diet, par
lament, or estates for the maintenance
of perpetual peace.
Rousseau, Kant and Bentham fol

question of disarmament, the estaD-
lishment of a congress of nations, and
the abolition of war by means of an
international court of justice.
