HUNTING THE SPERM WHALE
One Taken of West Coast Of Scotland
Realized Five Thousand Dollars
for Its Captors.

A graphic account of the hunting
and killing of a sperm whale is told
by one who took part In ii. Starting
from the west coast of Scotland the
whaler made for Rockall, lonely
granite pinnacle that juts out of the
of the Outer Hebrides. Why the
whales go there is mystery, but in
early summer schools of them may be
found in the neighborhood, The look
out soon spies "blow," that Is the
fountain ejected by the whale as 1t
comes to the surface to breathe. Away
goes the whaler in pursuit. After
some tense maneuvering the whaler
gets into suitable position, the skipper
takes aim, fires his harpoon gun and
harpoon is embedded in the mon
Ster's body. The whale disappears
taking yards of hemp line with him.
Presently he rises to blow again, and
Immediately second harpoon is fired
at him and he goes down with yards
of cable rafting overheard. About
fifty minutes later he floats on the
surface of the water, quite dead.
Immediately the sailors fall upon
him, Air is pumped into the carcass
20 make it buoyant, his fiukes are
trimmed off, 50 that he will float In
tow, and the whaler makes for Scot
land again, with a host Of screaming
birds in her rear. This particular
whale realized five thousand dollars.
1t was a fuli-grown sperm, about sixty
feet long.

MY MOTHERS HANDS

Such beautiful, beautiful hands
They're neither white nor small,
And you, l know would scarcely think
That they were fair at all.
I've looked on hands whose form and
hue
A sculptor's dream might be;
Yet are those aged wrinkled hands
Most beautiful to me,
Such beautiful, beautiful hands,
Though heart were weary and sad,
These patient hands kept toiling on,
That the children might be glad.
The tears swell forth, as looking back
To childhoods distant day,
| think how these hands rested not
While mine were at their play.
Such beautiful, beautiful hands!
They are growing feeble now,
For time and pain have left their mark
On hand and heart and brow,
AlaSl alas, how near the time
OF pain and loss to me,
When meath the daisies out of sight
Those hands will folded be.
But, oh, beyond the shadow land,
Where all is bright and fair,
know full well those dear old hands
VIII palms of victory bear.
Where crystal streams through endless
years,
Flow over golden sands,
And where the old grow young aagn
I'll clasp my mothers hands,

SLIPS BY FAMOUS AUTHORS
Humorous to Record, but Detract Lit
tie From the Stories as
They Are Read.

The British minister Of education
points out some mistakes that he has
come across in books. One of them
runs through "Ivanhoe," where the
Normans and Saxons are represented
as two distinct races. The fact is that
at the time with which the story deals
marriage between the two races had
gone so far that Norman could hardly
be told from Saxon; but Sir Walter
Scott did not realize this until the story
was set up in type, and so the famous
novel appears with this blunder right
through II. Another mistake was made
by Mrs. Humphry Ward, who I'm one
of her books made two people take
chairs In Kensington gardens In the
first week in October, though all chairs
are removed from the gardens on Sep
TENDER 80. Charles Kingsley makes
John "Brumbecome" recite a prayer
from the prayer book long before the
time the prayer was put in; the poet
Pope makes weasel eat corn, which a
weasel never does; and likewise In
"Don Qulxote" the merry Cervantes
makes one OF his parties at tavern
eat two suppers In one night. The life
Of a novelist is full OF trouble, but such
little things do not seem to matter
greatly We would rather have the
stories with all their mistakes than
have the dull facts without the stories.

Teach your boy to have sound moral
judgment when he is very young and
you will not in later years be singing
that sad old song: "Where is my won

Poverty is really a state of mind
You have all seen the rich man who
eternally bewailed his empty pockets,
and you've all seen the poor man
whose poverty as such never occurred
to him. There is an old Latin proyerb
something to the effect that mot he
who has little but he who wants
more is poor" and truer words
were never spoken.
1t was my good fortune at one time
to know a very remarkable man. If
he had dollar in his pocket he con
sidered himself wealthy and he had inn
bued his wife and family with this
same spirit. They were, | believe, the
happest family it will ever be my
privilege to meet. He was a good pro
wider; his children were well educated,
his wife and himself enjoyed life to the
fullest extent. Yet he was never rich
in dollars and cents. If he had always
taken pay for his services for other
people he might have been wealthy
man, but he always said that money
took the joy out of service.
To be sure, when he went from this
world there was no troublesome will to
break for there was no property to
fight over. Yet he left those children
far richer heritage than any multi
millionaire could have left them the
advantages of good education,
happy childhood, the memory Of a
wonderful home life and the beautiful
teachings and example of generous
and a God-reyering father.--Ex.
