HB iftiilluu wrought ?moat tha flA aloag the bay by small sharks and seals la forcing soma of the best of the population to nw hun in otbcr placet, write* the Giapt Basin (Canada) correspondent ?( the New York Son. Unless the Cot. eminent lends Its aid to tbe fishing buslhtss the Dominion Is in danger of losing one of Its important Industries. ?11 clssses of the community are call ing for a system of bounties upon both sesl and dogfish, such ss in paid for tbe scalps of wolres. If that were de termined upon, fishermen would regu Isrly undertake the destruction of these pests. Experiments msde not long ago show that work would thus be afforded to tbe men in the depth of wiuter at a time when there is little else to do. Not far from the Antlcostl coast long lines of stout rope were let down more than 100 fathoms. These were fitted with shsrk hooks and baited. Evi dently shark provender was scarce, for the fish bit greedily and were easily captured, made helpless, perhaps, by the sudden change to tbe lower press ure of water near the surface. Observers say that tbe dog fish or mackerel shark seeks the deepest water available for his winter quarters, per haps for tbe sake of warmth. It was in these waters that old Jacob Longtin received a shock and an iujury which sent liim away from the seaboard to work in an inland town The old man had been one of the most adventurous souls along the coast. He It was who. when acting as har pooner in Hudson's Bay was kuocked overboard by a blow from a whale's tail and dragged through the water be cause a bight of the "fast" line had twisted around his ankle. He contrived to get at his clasp knife, open it and sever the line. Though much exhausted he managed to cling to the bucket to which the line had been attached until picked up by the boats of another ship. He insisted upon setting his own broken leg and made a good job of it. too. According to bis own statement he_ never lost his grip altogether until one day when, as lie was drifting in liis fishing boat past Anticosti lie idly threw an old belt iuto what looked like a mass of well washed wreckage. Im mediately there arose a great hooked beak, "as big as a water hanker." Longtiu declared. In an instant the head was alongside the slowly moving boat, and from the depths came two long, pink arms, twenty feet of tlieni. with pad-like suckers on one side. These two feelers coiled themselves about the boat and one of them fast ened on the man's bare arm. Longtin declares he thought his very life and soul were being dragged out of him. He was being pulled from his seat when his hand met the handle of his axe. In a moment he struck at the bead, but the blow glanced from the curved bill as from solid born. His next blow was at tbe great limb which grasped him. and this he maimed seriously. Tbe pain in the injured arm increased teufold. but another hack at the snakelike tentacle severed it alto gether, and the monster sauk beneath the surface. Asked if he noticed any discoloration of the wnter. as is usual when the cut tlefish retreats. Longtin Invariably an swers, "i teii you. everything was black just then, and all I am sure of is that my arm hurt as though the devil had hold of it, ami I was as seasick as a baby." ?The wound on his arm never healed. The doctors said it was as though he had been cupped, the marks of the teeth with which each sucker is armed being distinctly visible. OLD DAYS IN OKLAHOMA. The Outhrle (Okla.) correspondence of the Kansas City Star says: "This is the time of year in Oklahoma when a man feels something piiiiiiiH him into i the open Country." said Governor Fer guson. who is n frontiersman by pref erence and a pioneer by instinct. His I father went from Iowa to Kansas when game was abundant everywhere. 1 and became one of the most successful hunters in the .southwestern country. When a small boy Governor Ferguson was his father's companion on many expeditions into Oklahoma and Indian Territory. I "I do not suppose that I shall ever overcome the keen regret tnat Is felt in thinking of the old days that are gone forever." said Governor Ferguson. "Oklahoma seems lonesome to me now whf I travel over it and pass con stantly in sight of towns and farm houses where once 1 saw nothing but the prairies, the hills and the timbered streams. It was my delight to ride as Hie crow flies? straight across the coun try. unobstructed by wire fences and section-line highways. Spring was a glorious season. The air was fresh and pure, the earth mantling with green and brilliant with tlowers, ami the situ Just far enough north to thaw the win ter sluggishness from a man's blood and set every nerve tingling with hap piness. The plaintive note of a mead >wlark always makes ine homesick and brings back to me a vision of the prair ies. It was no less enjoyable to ride in the big timber in the river 'bottoms.' musical with the songs of countless bird*. The song of what we called the sugar writer' bird, probably the tohee. lind a melancholy sweetness that mnkes a man's heart thump even now. "I went with my father on utauy hunting trips from Chautauqua Coun ty, Kansas, Into Oklahoma.. The r^ *ion between tho South Canadian River and the Smokey Hill was the hest buffalo country In the West. Along the Salt Fork in Northern Okla homa I have seen buffalo as far as the ?ye could reach. We came ofteu In the fall, with ox tenuis, and returned with >ur big wagons loaded with winter meat. We camped one afternoon at Buffalo Springs, just nortj) of Hennes ?ey. and turned oil* oxen out to graze without unyoking them. They began snorting, and. fenring a stampede, we Chained them to our wagons. We looked everywhere for the cause of ilarm, but could see nothing. In about, ten minutes a low rumbling sound.

"It may be unwise to destroy tradi tions. bat the story that I'at Hennes sey is buried in the town of Hennessey is untrue.

Reuben Pinkbain. a native of Nan tucket. made bis first trip as tbird lieu tenant on tbe sbip Potomac, which crossed tbe North Pacific a region little known to naval vessels in tbe early thirties. Piukbam bad been ou several whaling voyages, and was fa miliar with those waters. The autbot of "The Island of Nantucket*' m.vf that one day, near sunset. b?? hnd the watch, while the commodore was pac ing up and down the deck. Suddenly Pinkliam gave th? order. "Man tbe weather braces." "What's that for?" asked tbe com modore. "We shall have wind in a moment.* The commodore went to tbe lee rail and scanned the sea and sky. "I see no sigus of wind." he returned. "Let the men leave the braces." The crew dropped tj?e ropes. "Keep hold of the braces, every mAn of you!" called out Pinkliam. ntul the men resumed their grasp. The com modore Hushed with anger and ex claimed i!i peremptory tones: "Let tue men leave the braces!" and agsiu tbe braces were dropped. "Dou't any or you dare to drop the ropes!" shouted Piukbam. shaking hi? trumpet at the crew, who once more took hold. Just then the wind dropped entirely: not a breath stirred. "Taut, taut! Haul, all of you!" called Pinkhatu. and the ponderous yards swung to reverse*! position. The wind came out of the opposite quarter and struck the ship like a sledge hammer The vessel staggered, shook the spray from her bows and dashed ahead. The commodore disappeared into his cabin without saying a word. Presently be sent the first lieutenant to relieve Pinkliam. requesting to .see the latter immediately. When Pink liam entered the cabin' the commodore said: "I consider that I am indebted to yon for all of our lives; but 1 will tell you frankly if that wind hadn't come I should have put you in irons iu two minutes." A CI ANT OCTOPUS. One of tlii? most interesiing object? in the Natural History Museuui in Troudhjem. Norway, is a large o^lo pus. K. It. Kennedy, the author of "Thirty Seasons in Scandinavia." not only saw the octopus, but a little later heard the story of the capture of it as related both by the fisherman whose boat it attacked and also by two inde pendent witnesses. The tisherman wai> leisurely rowing on a calm day close to the rock bound shore of one of the fiords situated some fifty miles north of Trondhjem. Suddenly a long and glistening arm swept over the stere of the boat and remained there. The iishermnn astonished at this unwonted apparition. dropped his oars and sprang to his feet. Like magic all ot iu?r hideous looking arm shot ovet the gunwale. The boat canted. The man. realizing that lie was attacked by some monster against which hi* old lish knife was the only available weapon, seized his oars and labored with might and main to get his boat into a crevice of the rocks, all the time yelling for his mates, who were not far off. He had to strain every nerve to drag his hideous cargo after him. for the suckers never relaxed When half exhausted, lie got the bow 01 nis craft within reach of willing hands, it took the three men to haul it up a slight incline, for the mobster still hung on. even over the bare rocks Then they belabored iu head with oars and clubs. Having safely secured it. they sent off to the nearest station and telegraphed concerning their prize. It was at once purchased by the mu seuui and carried there after it had been photographed. They stretched Its .-irms out before preparing it. The longest were each live alen. or ten feet four inches, in length. Over all. to get her with the great carpetbag body, the monster measured over thirty feet across. I * ? ? ? Leaves Question With Commission. At the closing day's session of the i Southern Baptist Convention held in I Nasvllle, Tenu., the question or work among the Negroes was entrusted to a commission, and the report will be suhmit.t ed at the next convent 'on.

Dr. Frost said he was surprised that the issue should have been raise |' in view of i .-*? i n ur conditions. Dr. Frost sal I the publish lug board had voluntarily extended aid to the Negro Baptist, publishing house, and had not solicited or re ceived any remuneration.

Developing this ides. The Independ ent declares: Ignorance and poverty never did control wealth and intelligence. It Is inconsistent with the eternal flt ness of things for a shiftless and Ignorant race to control and gov ern an intelligent snd economical one. Such a condition never dirt ?xlsi and never will, because ?t would be contrary to the natural laws of adjustment and distribu tion. We must develop economic capacity before political. If we can not tske care of a family, we can not a nation. The foregoing expresses in a aut iheil the logic of the new movement in the south to base the elective fran chise on intelligence and a certain de <ree of education Instead of on the fallacious ideal of "manhood suffrage." \11 the constitutions and all the stand tng armies in the world could not '.on g subordinate Intelligence and thrift, to ignorance and shifttessness. and the better class of colored people in the ?outh were quicker to realise this pat ent truth thsn were their champions at the north.
