LAUGHED AT: SEAL
"Heh- Diver Refused to Figure
on Pursuer's Menu.
esrlsus Speed Contest Reported by
Mature Student, Who Witnessed
3 the incident, on Maine Coast.

Seals are quick Of movement, and
Feeding cannot but marvel at the speed
with which they dart about in the
water and the apparent ease with
which they are able to overtake their
prey, says q Bulletin Of the American
Game Protective association, and like
wise there are few duck hunters who
have not had the opportunity of wit
monly known as the hell-diver. He
can easily protect himself by diving
and swimming under water. and Eight
ming Is slow as compared with the
speed with which q hell-diver sub
merges when he sees the fash Of a gun
headed In his direction"
Which Of the two Is quicker in the
water becomes q nice question, TO the
discussion Of which Arthur L. Penni-
man contributes the story Of a con-
test he witnessed on the Maine coast,
In the Penobscot bay region. between
N seal and q pied-billed grebe, when
secn contestant was apparently doing
his best, ''the seal looking for his
supper and the hell-diver intent on
seeins that he didn't make up the
menu"
~While we were engaged in studying
the habits Of fish hawk" Mr.. Penni-
man writes, "sur attention was at
tfacted by a great commotion In the
water OF shore From our blind we
could see that the splashing was
caused by Q seal performing the most
curious antics In his attempts to catch
q bird which we later identified as a
pied-biiled grebe.
'srhe seal made rapid progress, pOr-
peising In and out of the water in
quick diving leaps and was fast over
hauling the bird, which was swimming
franticaily to escape his pursuer. but.
however, made no attempt TO fly. AZ
ter straight-away race Of some fifty
yards or more, it seemed as II the
chase was over, as both bird and seal
disappeared In the same splash as the
seal struck the water. When the
splash subsided we saw that the grebe
had cleveriy lodged to one side and,
after twisting and turning quickly
around q very small circuit to elude
the seal, he headed straight for shore.
.9The bird now began TO use its
wings, and. skittering rapidly over the
water, soon distanced the seal, which
continued the chase until within 80
feet Of the beach, where the water
was no more than knee deep.
There he sat with his shoulders out
OF the water, watching the grebe as
the latter ran along the edge of the
shefe. Then, as though he hated TO
give up his meal, he slowly pursued
yfhe bird on a parallel course in the
wnter,. paying not the slightest atten-
tton to the men on the beach until he
siwas frightened OF by our Intervention

here and 90 home with great deal
of useful information, which should
be widely disseminated.
They should be sure and tell the
rorth that the victim of Elijah jones
lust was the widow of man, an Union
soldier. who fifty-six years ago was
fighting to set the negroes free.
The negroes of Marion county are
not responsible for Elijah Jones
crime, and we don't believe that any
could be found who approve of his
act. The white people were justified in
putting a summary end to his life.
We don't want any northern negroes
here mixing with our own colored
people, and stirring up the rash and
ignorant among them to make trouble
for themselves. These northern ne
groes do not come here to find the
truth. They want to rake up sensa-
tionalism in order to raise money
from deluded people in the north, to
print stories inaammatory and un-
truthful, and scatter them broadcas,
where they may provoke racial i'll.
feeling. The southern negro always
suffers from these incendisries, anc
if any of them are caught here we
prescribe for them strong doses Of
hickory bark tea and many swift
kicks to propel them in the direction
they came from.
