Accordingly, Skipper Farnsworth selected his heaviest gaffhook and turned on full steam ahead for a charge on the fish mountain. When close enough, Farnsworth swung the gaff with all his force and the *hook went down deep into the quivering flesh of the sleeping fish. It was a rude awakening, and when the fish felt the sharp pain, it lashed out in every direction with great fury in the effort to free itself. The hook had taken a firm hold and could not be pulled out, end when the monster realized this, it renewed its fierce efforts to escape. This twisting and turning and thrash- {ng continued for over an hour until re- lief came in the person of Boatman Elms, who had seen the fight from a distance and instantly realized that something was doing. He also sunk his big gaff into the struggling sea elephant, and by taking turns the two men se- curely held it until it fought itself into complete exhaustion, the struggle going on for one hour and 45 minutes after Elms arrived, or for about three hours after Farnsworth first gaffed it. It was almost as large as a prize cow at a country fair, and it attracted ten times as much attention.

The Dominion government wants to take control of the fisheries there, and alsc take tormal possession of a certain is- land in the bay. So far that portion of the Dominion has been left to look after itself, anc the result has been that the Americanr have been making a very good thing out of the fisheries for many years past. The result of the expedition will be tc drive the Americans out.

A few days ago the family bulldog that was supposed to lie buried in a grave at the back of the house walked into the ining-room and waged his tail at his mistress, Mrs. Jeremiah Falvey, at Win- sted, Conn. Of late the animal, on ac- count of age, had become easily irritated, and would snap at anyone on the slight- est provocation. Early in the week it was decided to kill the dog, and he was shot. The bullet only wounded the dog. The next day, to put him out of his mis- ery, he was given poison. That seemed to finish him, and the body was buried in the rear of the Falvey homestead. The grave was about a foot deep. The other day Mrs. Falvey met the bulldog in the yard and she screamed with fright. She went to the grave and saw all the evidences that the dog had dug his way up to the topoftheearth. It has been decided to let him live for the pres- ent.

Edison recently asserted the alleged plan of the Ger- man firm of Slaby-Braun, which has the support of Emperor William, to make useless the entire wireless system of Marconi by an opposition station on the Baltic coast, was doomed to dismal failure. Wireless messages, he said, would soon be flying across the Atlantic the rate of 500 words a minute. He held that once a trans-Atlantic reless !ine was perfected, its opera- ign would be as simple as that of a cable system, and there would be abso- lutely no object in stealing messages or affecting receiving instruments so that messages could not be read. — He sald the young Italian was meet- ‘ing with obstacles like those that rose 7 A Has Cured Thousands, W: HERE’S A BABY|™ io in the wey. of the tecind t Hght al I occupy myself until three o’clock te 3 he WE If you are troubled with cf wiles tt wa introduced. ce in attending to my patients and ful-} Circuit Court Clerk L. 0.
