Wonderful Vitality Of a Monster Shark vi Last September on a ship about fifty miles from Brisbane, Australia, a huge hark about twelve feet In length was hooked on a line which broke. A aee ond time the big fish got on the line and escaped. Then a large shark book. with a chain, was thrown oat, and the ravenous brute grabbed It and wai caught., , , . . U ? i. T i All handa tagged the shark to the vessel's side A huge hook of the an chor tackle was put through his Jaw and one eye, and the fish was then . twratm airinir bt4,b ra.anrx.vn rvwr nn a. un hauled out of the water. One of the crew riwu lue ujuuuiei opru iiuui iuvi head to the tall. The vital organs and entrails were thrown overboard, and then both Jaws were backgrj out fori me saKe or saving me tmo. ' ,f, . Nothing bat the shell ojf .thej fish ;re-; malned, and the shark"'' was "lowered overboard. A rash war-made to the. side to see him sink, but the company was astonished to see the fish make on. First he swam about fifty yards away, returned to the steamer, then . went off on another , tack- for , about thirty yards, lame back to th vessel 5' and swan) astern and; was still swlm- mlDar when be was lost sight or. V- That the fish should swim away with the whole of bis interior from head to tall and Jaw and one eye gone simply raised the hair of the passengers and . crew, who bad never seen or beard of the like before. - i A Hunter's Stmnge Meeting With v Bean "Speaking of bears reminds me of an experience 1 had on Cat island, a small chunk of land In Arkansas, and on the St. Franeis river In 1878." said an old resident of Arkansas, "and It was one I of the most thrilling experiences I ever had In the woods. . -' - v "I was alone: with the exception of a couple of green, untrained bound pups. who wouldu't leave my heels under any circumstances until the little expert- " enee I am about T IHV"fe 1 IS U U VI I for some time I came upon a rath er , large, hollow tree, the bos of which aroused the suspicion In my mind that It was the abode of some kind of an animal. .The bound pups strengthened this belief by whin- I Ing and scamper ing around ' and through the on- I dergrowth ln a half frightened sort of way,, Tb opening at the base of the tree was" about as large around as a whisky barrel. ; I concluded that I would catch a glimpse of day light at. the top. for the tree had the evidence of being hollow all the way up. I leaned my shotgun against the trunk and shoved my head . through the opening In the fide of the tree. My bead and face were literally covered by a shower of wood dust- There was a heavy, deep roar In ibe body of the tree, and as quick as a flash a big. black, ponderous something dropped to the ground, and In an in stant I found myself face to face with a bear. "He shot his head out through the hole, showed me his teeth teeth which seemed to me to be as sharp as daggers, and they were not short either. I found my hound, pups at home. They didn't return with me, and if they had I couldn't have told Just how they got back. I left a fine breechloading shot gun leaning against the tree, and It's there yet so far as I am aware. The bear actually blew his breath in my face, and r became panic stricken, and to save my life I en n't te!l whether I went over or between the trees ia gct tlvs cut of the w-..Ts." t ,, M1 i d r.

And one bird high on the tallest tree A place for Its nesting found. While humbly the other buit its home lxw down on the commuR ground. A shrike flew by. and It saw the nest That swayed in the branches high. But the low built nest of the humble bird lie saw not and passed it by.

But I've never. met' with Justice from the day that I was caught: I'm fed on shortest rations, and I'm called a plodding- mule. But still there's many a man that's smart that never weut to school. Now, brains are very handy, but plodding, I have found. Can match them pretty closely in the work that s good and sound; Men think of me and speak of me as be ing Just a fool. But I've discovered long ere this that I'm a useful tool. I helped the railroad magnates when 1 tolled up old Pike's peak To carry rails and lumber (or a work 1 did not seek.

But 1 never shared the fortunes all my efforts helped to make. I carried camping outfits for hunters by the score.
