For I was gazing out to sea, my mind con- cerned with fancies light, a book of verses on my knee, and not prepared for such a sight. It seemed a gay and happy fish,’a very optimistic whale, and made the water go kerswish, when- |e'er it flapped its giant tail. An ancient seaman at my side looked on, with trouble on his ,bmw; “thv whales are getting ! scarce,” he cried, “we do not often see them now. The whale you see may be the last, where countless thousands used to lurk: they're killing off the poor things fast—machinery now the work. The risky life !seemed good to me when I fought whales, in bygone years, In.t now they butcher whales at ca as K. C. packers butcher ~teer\ The good old monsters {of the deep don’t have a chance i to keep their goats ; the harvest- ers go forth to reap the whales They sed to haunt this sunny coast, you'd see them any winter day; ilut they have yielded up the ghost, they're l\l”(‘d and canned and shipped away.” And still the whale seemed void of care, from every dread and trouble free; it stood on end and leaped in air, and gamboled in a silver sea.

Representative Sam R. Sells of Ten- nessee, who does not come back to the new Congress, has retired from the contest for commissioner of pen- sions since President Harding let it be known that he is planning to name a civil war veteran to this post. Mr. Sells said that he was anxious not to embarrass the Presi- dent in any way, even as a receptive candidate. About fifty members of Congress urged the President to select Mr. Sells as commissioner. They urged him as the most available man, for the reason that he was in the prime of manhood. that he served as a private in the war with Spain and hag served on the pension committee | of the House of Representatives for ten years. Mr. Sells passed through the city yesterday en route to Philadelphia. LIEUTENANT DISMISSED. Second Lieut.
