CROWDlNG THE SEA SERPENT
Old Friend Of the Ocean Summer
Resorts Makes Way for Pirate
Ship From Russia.

We believe but one sea serpent has
been sighted so far this season. Per-
haps it is still little early, but the
weather has been hot enough to bring
our old friend to the surface, and no
doubt the frightened and delighted
visitors at shore resorts and those
who go out to sea in boats for a
short distance will soon be rewarded
with sight of his ugly head or fasci-
mated by the water churned up by
the swishing Of his angry tail. How
ever, it is possible, that the sight more
calculated to thrill will be the pirate
ship from Russia that is moving in
such a mysterious way its wonders to
perform. If this is so, we are certain
that for every view Of the sea SER
pent that is recorded on the part Of
credible witnesses there will be 20
equally credible witnesses who caught
a glimpse of the new terror of the
deep, long, low and dark, either just
before it submerged or at the moment
It came to the surface to cast its eve
about for a new ship to capture and
sink or to drag away the crew in irons
to Bolshevik Russia. To the elderly
skeptic who inquired where such a
craft secured its necessary fuel the
less critical young woman answered
that it probably operated by electric
ity. What could be more probable2--

By ZEE WAY

Did you ever hear Of P. H. Penna7
This man has an interesting history,
and it was brought out to the light Of
day when representative Burke Of the
house labor committee called for an
audit Of the coal owners books, to
show that the high prices of coal were
not because of any strikes that the
workers have ordered. but because Of
the high cost Of coal. unjustIy imposed
upon The public under the guise Of So
called high wages paid to the miners.
Mr.. Penna was once a miner work
ing every day at his task in the mines
ot Indiana. Then he joined the min
ers union. In due time the miners
union elected this Mr.. Penna secretary
then after time they elected him for
their financial secretary; then higher
and higher in their estimation, until
one day Mr.. Penna was elected as
president Of the United Mine Workers.
After that there was a great difference
in Mr.. Penna; strikes were lost on ev-
cry hand until Mr.. Penna resigned from
his office and was lost sight of for a
time, until accidentally it was discev-
cred that Mr.. Penna was elected Sc
cretary Of the Mine Owners of Indi-
ana, and that he held large interest
in coal lands and mines in Indiana.
1893
An Italian reports that he has dis
covered perpetual light. Perhaps lie
has discovered perpetual artificial
light. We hope so; still we shall wait
for further particulars about this great
discovery. There will be one feature
about it that will be worth watching,
and that is the attitude Of he gas and
electric companies, and the Standard
Oil companies of the world, and the
fight they will put up to maintain their
methods of coming money from the
great American people. We should
not be surprised at the doctors telling
US that it was hard on the eyes, or
some other such scare to scare the
American people.

The death of man has little effect
on any going institution, and much less
upon the affairs of government. If
a man has done good. and he dies, his
influence becomes enlarged as time
goes on; if he has been nonentity,
he will sink into oblivion, just as the
other billions Of humans.
