West Indian Episode Told by First Officer Renkell--Beneath a Tropic Sun, In the Blue Caribbean, Lay the Fruiter Allz- ghany, Taking on Goal-The Old Story, With New Variations, of Sharks and Man Overboard, Harry Renkell, who lives in Ho- boken, and is the first officer of the old Atlas Line fruiter Alleghany, which the Hamburg-American Packet Company runs in the banana trade between this port and, the West Tn- dies, stepped down from the poop deck after the vessel had been warped into her dock at the Battery, and ob- served that at last he felt that he had brought into port a yarn worth the telling. Two or three stout, ef- ficient officers, who heard this re- mark, nodded emphatically. It was a shark story, and had it not been for the fact that when Merc. Renkell came to the part which close- ly concerned him he suddenly became diffident, and left important perts for his shipmates to fill in, it wcul!d have been better to have quoted it herein directly from his own lips. Tt might have been better, in any eveaut, had not that officer- and gentleman mained near the lighter were coming | up. ! Richardson's head reappeared | above the surface just stern, but the under the | sharks had followed him close. great With a cry for help the negro sank again, and then came up almost in the same spot. It was not the first time he had met with sharks in their native element, but he and everyone else felt’ that it would be his last. Overhead Mr. Renkell stood poised with his rifle. But the death of one shark would rot save the lighterman. : However, he tried it. He hit one, and killed it, but the others were not frightened away. Richardson, swim- ming like mad, had “fetched” around to the port side. One great eighteen- footer was so close to him that he had turned on his back. Renkcll got him with his rifle, too. But the others were near. Richardson was growing weary. How much longer he would have kept up the fight cannot be known, because at this time Richter, with the side of salted beef in his arms, ran to the side, and heaved it into the-sea. The splash and the smell of the meat at- tracted all the sharks, and while they were tearing it to pieces Richardson swam -to the stern and was drawn aboard. “I don’t believe sharks ever will] absolutely forbidden it, being—as has been suggested—modest. Eleven days ago, then, the Haiti,. coaling from two lighters which had come out from Aux Cayes, or Les Cayes, the natives being divid- ed upon that point. The weather was warm; it was-hot.: - The lazy sweil- ing waters of the Caribbean were uu- rufiled by a breath of air. In the midst of them the old fruiter, with her drab sides and her gray and red | funnel, radiated hot waves. On a deck almost too scorching for bare feet- the crew of Tuetons hauled on | the tackle, bringing the coal buckets | from the lighter below to the open bunker ports. On the forward lighter “Bill” Rich- ardson, foreman, was directing a gang. Richardson was a giant negro. He wore a red shirt, a pair of home- spun trousers, a broad blue sash— and that was about all. He knew more about getting coal from one craft to another than any man living on that little group of reefs, “cays,” whence the place derives its name. Moreover, he was renowned as a diver, from which the fact that he was an excellent swimmer may be postulated. Richardson and his men had worked all through the morning, and, when drov'sy noon came, they all knocked off and lay about the decks, smoking and eating. Gus Richter, the cook, finding the galley altogether insufferable, had installed a stove upcn the deck under the shade of the forward deckhouse, and there he was preparing the men’s lunch. On all sides of him, among other things, were a thick chunk of beef, more or less fresh, and a great side of salted beef. Enter the Man-Eaters. Perhaps it was the smell of this | meat that brought a large school of sharks shortly before the lightermen knocked off for the midday repast; perhaps they just came without any special attraction. At all events, they hove off the forward lighter just as William Richardson and the rest were lighting their pipes. They were gaunt fellows, fifteen feet long, some’ of them—one or two were fully twenty feet long. Richardson grinned when he saw them, showing an even line of big teeth fully as white as the sharks’. “Hungry, eh?” he said, extending an arm as powerful as that of the Farnese Hercules done in ebony, shaking a long forefinger at the largest of the man-eaters. “Hungry, eh? ’Spects yo’ won't git nothin’ aroun’ here, nohow.” But the voracious fishes remained hard by, nevertheless, thereby justi- fying a superstition prevalent down that way that when a shark “comes around,” .and stays around, he does B80 for reasons of his own, good and sufficient. When Richardson blew his whistle everybody went to work, and the sharks were forgotten. But inatten- tion did not make them depart. They circled about the ship, and when Mr. Renkell appeared on deck with a rifle of heavy calibre the sharks were gathering off the lighter again. As one basket filled with coal was lifted to the shoulders of the giant foreman, he lost his balance and fell, basket and all; between his craft and the ship. Diving Under the Hull. Instinctively he dived down and when he reappeared it was found that he had dived under the hull of his lighter. With a loud hi, yi! to show that he was uninjured, he struck out with powerful strokes for the light- er’s side, when several sharp fins warned him that the man-eaters were between him and safety. He half rose in the water, glanced toward the stern of the Alleghany, and saw, with the exception of one fin, almost dead j git me,” he observed, as he clambered to his lighter.—New York Post.

Buck Joved- Miss Rose Brown, the beautiful teach- er of the Wildcat school, in District 23. Rose Brown admired the daring Buck, but had not given him her promise to be his. One day Buck and she were in Yellow Dog, the principal town in the Bowie district. As they stolled along the street a man came out of the Dirty Dogzen saloon and stopped them. “You Buck,” he said, “I've got the worst cutlaw horse in the world out here. I'll bet you $25 you can’t ride him.” : hoi Buck's face wore a disdainful smile. He was waiting for just such a chance to show his lady love his skill. “I’11 take the bet,” he said. shall T show you?” “Now,” replied the ma:i, none other than Red-Eyed Joe, sometimes called Rip-Tailed Roarer. “All right,” said Buck. “Me and Miss Brown will walk out to where the critter is and I'll ride him.” As Buck and Rose walked along he asked her once more to be his. “If you ride this outlaw horse I'll marry you,” she replied, picking her teeth with her pearl-handled bowie- knife. Buck was delighted. After haif an hour's hard work the outlaw ani- mal was saddled, and Buck cast a smile at his lady love. “Here goes,” he said. “You'll git throwed,” Eyed Joe. Buck mounted the awful animal. Red-Eyed Joe was right. Buck was thrown three times and then he gav: it up.—Denver Post. “When said Red- Lumber Camp Deer Butchers. . In _ certain districts of the Adiron- dacks the depredations of the lumber camps on the deer supply are continu- ous, extensive and serious. The crews are fed on venison taken in close season by French Canadian em- ployes of the camps. The number of deer destroyed is very large. The | extent and nature of the illicit hunt- ing are recognized, but owing to the pecuilar conditions surrounding the camps the game protectors have not been able to cope with the evil. It is proposed by Adirondack resi- dents and other interested persons to ask at the coming session of the Leg- islature the enforcement of a law to forbid the possession of firearms in the close season within the limits of the Adirondack park. It is believed that this would go far to solve the difficulty, for the lumber camp butch- ers could hardly use their arms with- out discovery, and if the penalty, of fine or imprisonment with confisca- tion of the illicit weapons were at- tached there would be need of only a very few convictions to put a sum- mary stop to the butchery of deer for feeding tree choppers. It is true that under the law as it now stands relative to non-resident hunters something might be done to check the ravages of the Canadians in the North Woods; for the statute forbids them from hunting unless they shall have paid a non-resident license fee of $25 if they come from Ontario or Quebec. None of these hunters have any such license; and every one of them is subject to a penalty for hunting without a Ili- cense; but the protectors have not been able to detect the violators; and here as generally throughout the State the non-resident provision has ahead, clear water. But. this shark ardson, for the fin was cutting toward him like the jack-staff of a submerged submarine. Richardson dived.

But before he got there he met four or five sharks which, ap- parently, were just in from sea. Rich- ardson hunted bottom again.

By WINIFRED BLACK, Dr. Hindhede, of Denmark, says that he can teach thie world and the inhabitants thereof how to live on two cents a day and be happier and healthier and live longer than they did when they spent anywhere from $2 to $25 for twenty-four hours’ nourishment. Thanks, awfully, Dr. Hindhede. So delighted to hear from you. Now; if you'll only teach us how to live without breathing and without laughing, without singing and with- out dancing, without walking and witheut loving, we'll turn into slugs and be done with it. Wouldn't it be lovely to be a nice, fat, comfy slug, with nothing to do or to think or to dream or to hope or to work for? I'd love it, wouldn't you? Two cents a day for food! Why, what are all the fruits and vegetables | and good things made for, Dr. Hind- hede—just to look at? I'd rather live ten years and have some fun while I was living than to creep around till T was a hundred and wish I was dead every minute. I don’t want to live on two cents a day, thank you; I wouldn’t call it living at all. I don’t eat simply to support life. I suppose I could get along on a cup of malted milk and a handful of nuts a day, but. why on earth should I? I don’t like malted milk, and the only way to eat nuts is to sit around a blazing wood fire and pick them out of their shells while you're telling stories or singing songs or listening to some one read a good story. I eat because I'm hungry and be- | cause things taste good, and I doa’t want anybody to tell me what to eat, either. i I'll pick out my own diet for my own self, thank you, and as long as I'm able to pay for it I'll eat the things that taste good to me, and: trust to luck to have them agree with me. . 3 Whenever I hear about some one who’s discovered a new diet and lived on it, I know what that some one would like before I catch sight of him. . All the diet cranks I ever knew proclaim their fad as you can see them by the color of their skin and the lack of lustre in their melancholy eyes. Food was given us to eat, and as long as I have good teeth, a good conscience and a mediumly good pocketbook I'm going to eat it be glad to get it. A good dinner is one of the pleas- ures of life, just as a good laugh is, or a good song, or a pretty story, or a brisk walk on a fine morning. And I'm not going to give up a good din- ner just to please some one who wants to convince me that I'd be bet- ter off if I dined on a slice of dried apple and a prune. Keep right on figuring, Dr. Hindhede. It's all very well to be scientific, and. we appre- ciate your efforts immensely. You can’t do any harm, because nobody will pay any attention to you but the diet cranks, anyway—and they might as well be following vou as any one else.—New York Ameori- can. Whalebone. The economic value of whalebone is due to its combined qualities of lightness, elasticity or springiness and flexibility even when split ‘into thin strips. It has also the property of permanently retaining any shape that may be given to it when it is heated and then cooled under com- pression. Although many substitutes have been introduced, such as steel, cattle horn and turkey quills, nothing has yet been found that competes with it in a combination of all the qualities above noted. It whips, corsets, for similar purposes. The cutting of whalebone, that is, changing the rough slabs into the dress stays and forms and sizes suitable to the differ- | ent -uses, is carried on principally in New York City and Boston. There are four factories in New York City and one in Boston. The number of workmen employed is small, rarely exceeding forty, all told.—Bureau of Fisheries Document. By the Clock. Let me give you a suggestion foi exercise. Rise at 6.30 a. m.- Put on old clothing, easy shoes and a sweater. Time for dressing, five minutes. ‘Walk one-fourth of a mile; five minutes. Then run a mile at a dog trot in eight minutes, arranging your circuit of a mile and a quarter so that you will finish at your door thirteen min- utes after starting. At that hour you will meet only the milkman and pa- per carriers. That exercise will expand your lungs and stimulate your heart action and land you at your doorstep at 6.48 a. m., panting for breath, thor- oughly exhausted and perspiring at every pore. You are then ready for your bath and routine of the day. The man of sedentary habits who pa- tienty pursues this exercise may kiss all drugs good-bye.—New York time, Riches Cause Trouble.
