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.

$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.

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."

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. The Judge completed the first
draft of the measure this morning.
The striking section is that which
provides that two week's notiee must
be filed 'with the county auditor by
parents or guardians of applioants
for marriage licenses and that these
notices must be made of record in
the county in which the bride elect
resides. Judge Fratfr opects that
the newspapers will give publicity
to the applicants for licenses as they
do to licenses issued.
