When she awoke the sec ond time she could not quiet herself cnnii,:li to sleep any more that night. The next day Mrs. Illll decided to draw her money out of the bank and keep It In her safe at home.

L i BOYS t 1 vm R 1 SHARK FIT FOR HUMAN FOOD Flesh of Man Eater Taitea Like Shad Skin Make Leather and Liver Furnlihet OIL Itussel J. Coles of Danville, Vs., who Is co-operating with the department of fishes of the American Museum of Nat ural History In popularising unutilized food fishes, has estuhllidied at Cape Lookout N. 0 plant for fringing harks to food, leather and nil. Mr. Coles Is well-known hunter of big fish. He has hunted devilfish with Colonel Roosevelt and caught the plendld specimen of devilfish from which wnt cast the life-size model now to be teen In the American museum. He has Just sent to the museum an In teresting report of his work In the shark Industry in North Carolina: You are delaying a surprising treat by not soaking the salt out of that whlpray and eating It I nave found 'whip-tall shark' one of tbe best that I have eaten, and monkflsb excellent "But tho very finest shark, or In fact fish of any kind that I huve ever eaten wet a young man-eater. Its flavor It quite similar to that of a big fat white shad. I made an entire meal off of the man-eater shark. "The same day I had made a break fast of monkflsb and porpoise milk, at I had Just caught a cow porpoise with a very small cnlf. Porpoise milk mar be all right for those who tike It, but I did not much care for It" In describing the flesh of the man eating shark on which he dined l noted above, Mr. Coles said: "In color the flesh was a distinct rich tight pink salmon. There was an almost round strip of nearly black extending along In the pink flesh on each side of the back. I ate botb the pink and black flesh and found botb excellent "I got the shark from tbe net while It was still alive. A native fisherman and his mate reported to me that ai they hauled up their sink net while I was taking the sharks frommy big shnrk net near them, and about the 1 moment that the young one was caught they brought up a monstrous shark having a similar tall, which was at long as their 25-foot launch, and '. that It fought to violently that they I quickly cut loose a large piece of their net In which It was entangled and let It escape. "Although these two fishermen are men of good standing and well known to me, I hesitate to accept statements " "" of this kind, which Involve the size of a fighting shnrk, from any but a few of the bent-trained observers. " "I have prepared tbe meat Of the man-eater for smoking, Its bide for the tanner and have made oil of Its liver." Although at first shark meat for food was viewed with prejudice by the gen eral public, It has sold In no small quantities, even In Mew Tork city, where the price a short time ago was 14 cents per pound. As leather, shark has been fairly tested, and found to be satisfactory In all points, and especial ly durable. Telephone Message Cost $12. "Hello, Is this Camp Dick J Chicago la calling." This message came to Lieut W. H, Hlne, adjutant of the camp, late the other afternoon. Answering the tele phone, Lieutenant Hlne found that he was connected with Lieut.

I didn't want to take any chances nnd I must stay here a while longer." Llcutennnt Hlne told him that an ex tension of five days had been granted him and that a telegram to this effect had been sent the day previous. "That message cost him $12," Lieu tennnt Hlne said after ringing off. Dallas News. A Near Miss. A British airman was flying alone over the Bulgnr lines, busily using his camera. A whistle of machine-gun bullets disturbed hira. He just saw an Albatross swooping down upon him from above and then he knew no more. When he recovered consciousness he found that he had dropped all the way from 6,000 feet to 2,000 feet, and Jthnt a bullet had passed through his' neck fortunately missing his ver tebrae. He regained control of his mnchine and looked about for the Al batross.
