A NEAR JONAH GIANT WHALE VISITS MASSA CHUSETTS SPORTSMAN AND SWALLOWS DECOY, CAUSING GREAT COMMOTION AMONG COLONY. BARNSTABLE, Mass., Dec. 23. Probably there Is no man who has more respect for a whale, even if it did dine on ten of his wood decoys, than William F. Hallett, who has a camp on Sandy Neck. He relates the following story of an experience that put gray hairs on his head and made fifteen minutes seem like four hours one morning while coot shooting on the back of Cape Cod. Mr. Hallett said he went out Just before daylight In the morning and put out about thirty decoys, all wood. He thought he was about a mile or a mile and a half from the beach, in about twenty feet of water. The wind was light, with no sea. ' Just as the sun came up he saw a black whale following the shore down from Ply mouth point, about the same distance from the shore as he. was. He thought nothing about it, as the birds had commenced to fly and the gunning was good. The next thing he knew the whale came up and was blowing about one hundred yards off. The great crea ture lay a few minutes on the water, looking around, first at him and then at the bunch of decoys. Mr. Hallett said it was no doubt thinking which would make the best starter for breakfast. Mr. Hallett said to his best Judg ment the whale was about eighty feet long and fifteen feet across the back and had a large hump on its head about half way from theblowhole to the nose that was a light gray color. During the time the whalo was sizing up Mr. Hallett and his outfit he was circling around the boaw 3lowly. Hallett said he" did not dare to make a move to haul In the anchor and try to row away as he thought if the whale saw him move it would br moro likely to take after him, so he sat low in the bottom of the skiff with his hair standing on end, expect 'ng that every minute would be the last, as the whale seemed to take more notice of him than it did !of the decoys. After the whale had made three turns around the outfit It backed off and made a dash for the bunch of woods with its mouth open. The whale sucked down ten of the pine woods, lines and all. After it ap parently tried to swallow one that had got stuck in its throat the whale seemed to get angry and lay on the water and thrashed its tall until the water was like a boiling vat. Mr. Hallett was kept busy balling as tho spray from the tall and flukes flew all over him. About the time that Hallet thought ho would have to give up, as his boat was low In the water ana one or two moro sweeps of tho mighty tall would send him to tho bottom, the whale turned around until headed off toward Province town. Then It went as straight as a string and as fast as a steamboat out of sight. Mr. Hallett said that he did not etop to pick up any of the woods that were left he Just pulled in the anchor and rowed for the beach. Ho said ho had read stories about ship wrecked sailors being happy to reach land but none could be compared with tho way he felt when he Jump ed out on the beach and looked off to tho north and saw that great body rushing through the water toward tho open sea, and knowing there were ten wooden decoys as freight taking up tho space that a few minutes be fore the chances were, he would be selected to fill. Mr. Hallett said ho will not go gunning on tho back side any more no matter how thick tho birds are. IS $201 TOO MUCH FOR CUTTING APPENDIX? IOWA FALLS, la., Dec. 23. "What Is it worth to have a doctor cut out your appendix when It noeds it?" This Is a rather curious ques tion Just raised In tho Iowa courts, and promises to put n legal aspect on tho proper charge for cutting out one's appendix. Tho action grows out of a charge mado by an Iowa doctor of ?2G1 for an appendix re moval from the defendant's wife. Tho husband, who is made defendant in this action, claims ho paid tho doctor ?150, nnd says that Is suffi cient for such an action. Tho Bur- jgeon thinks otherwlso, nnd hence this action at law to determlno Just what tho proper charge is in this now fashionable surgical skill.

Noted Woninii Teniitcrnnce Lecturer Startles Audience By Furious Attack Upon Single Men. LYNN, Mass., Dec. 23. Mrs. Leonora Lake, of St. Louis, one of the leading temperance lecturers of the country, who spoke at a big no licenso rally here nearly created a panic among 2,000 ardent temper ance reflrmers when she anonunced from the platform that she had changed her mind about drink being tho worst ovll of tho country and de nounced bachelorhood as bolng the worst and bachelors as being worse than tho "hellions who run drink dives." A storm of hisses greoted her words, but Mrs, Lake kept right manfully to her task. "It is tho bachelor who Is today the greatest evil in America," she said. "It is the bachulor who fosters the run evil and who spends his tlmo in the dives. It is the habits he learns as a bachelor that ruin him is a married man. Reformers should drop the rum ovll and give their at tention to- this crying need moro husbands." CHECK ON ELOPEMENTS. Proposed Law Requiring Advance Notice of Marriage. SEATTLE, Wash., Dec. 23. If a bill now being framed by Judge A. W. Frater of the superior court be comes a law, the eloping Industry with young people who have not at tained legal age will receive a severe Jolt.
