III VESSEL’S HOLD
DIVER ATTACKED BY GIANT 8EA
MONSTER UNDER THIRTY
FEET OF WATER.
HACKS FOE WITH AX AND KNIFE
Finally Drive* Blade Into Head of Oo>
topua and It Pulled to Surface
Fainting and Nearly Cruihed
to Death.
San Francisco.—The story of a lifo
and death struggle that recalls Victor
Hugos "Tollers of the Sea" has just
been brought to this city. Wrapped
In the tentacles of a giant devilfish,
Martin Lund, a diver employed by the
Coast Wrecking Company, fought four
hours against strangulation in the
hold of the wrecked steamer Pomona,
which lies-In 30 feet of water in Fort
Ross cove off the Marin county coast.
Lund arrived here after an experience
which comes to few men, and he will
take a prolonged vacation before again
donning diver’s dress.
The devilfish had evidently entered
the vessel's hold during the night, and
Lund was at work some time before
he became aware of its presence. A
giant tentacle, four Inches In diameter,
first gripped one leg. Before Lund
could realize what had happened an-
other had encircled his thigh.
The diver began to chop frantically
at the rubberllkc bonds and at the
same time signaled to the barge above
that he wished to ascend. Unable to
free himself in time, two more ten-
tacles squirmed out of the darkness
and one twined about his neck. The
efforts of the men on the surface to
comply with his signal threatened to
pull his helmet off and he was forced
to signal them to desist.
With only his left arm free, Lund
hacked at the tentacles until they
were partly crippled, but he was be-
ing drawn toward the deadly beak
when he saw the outline of the devil-
fish's body. Plunging suddenly toward
The Diver Fought Frantically to Free
Himself.
ft, he drove the knife with all his
force into the head, repeating the
blow until he had slashed it Into sec-
tions.
In Its death throes the octopus
tightened its tentacles until the diver
was almost crushed In its embrace.
Lund finally cut himself free and was
brought to the surface in a fainting
condition.
Another diver brought some of the
severed tentacles to the surface, and
it is hoped to raise the body and bring
It to this city for exhibition.
GORED TO DEATH BY BULL.
Young Hall Killed in Giving Friends a
Chance to Escape.
Philadelphia.—Seeking to save two
of his friends whom he had taken into
a pen to look over a prize bull, Ed-
ward A. Hall, a farmer's son, of Cres-
centville was attacked by the vicious
animal and, after engaging Its atten-
tion so as to allow his friends to es-
cape, was finally caught as he was at-
tempting to scale the wall and gored
to death. The fatality occurred on
Fisher's farm, of which Hall's father is
manager.
James Robinson and William
Brooks, two friends of the unfortu-
nate young man, visited him, and
while showing them the live stock he
took them to the pen in which the
bull was quartered. The bull, although
a bad-tempered beast, had never made
any hostile demonstration against
Hall, and when he entered the pen ho
led his two friends fearlessly to where
the animal was standing.
The presence of the visitors en-
raged the bull and, lowering his head,
he made a dash for them. Hall told his
friends to escape, which he did, while
he led the bull a chase to the other
end of the lnclosure. Hall Intended
to vault the high wall, but when ho
failed in this the bull drove one of his
horns through his neck. When he fell
to the ground the bull gored the body
In a frightful manner.
Irish Wit.
An Irishman who was trying to sell
his horse was asked by the possible
purchaser if the animal was timid.
"Not at all, at all, soir. He sleeps in
a dark stable all alone every night,
which is the same ns saying, soir, that
he’s a brave fellow," replied the Irish-
man. And he sold the horse.

SICK MAN WANTED CHANGE.
THREE WEEKS.
Mors Than Willing to Maks Transfer
v/lth Physician.
A Syracuse business rann who, be-
sides being extremely active and am-
bitious, has much sense of humor,
wub taken sick with a slight attack of
pneumonia. Ills physician, aware that
It would be a task to keep his high-
strung pallent in bed. sought to im-
press on him the seriousness of the
ailment and the necessity of absolute
rest; all of which the sick man lis-
tened to in a bored manner. Never-
theless he consented to obey the doc-
tor.
But this enforced Inactivity rankled
in him; and each succeeding day
found the patient Importuning the
medical man attendant to allow him
to get out to business. Then, dis-
gusted, he would lie back to cant im-
precations at the inexorable physi-
cian. ; I
One morning the physician, after |
having been up all night on an im- j
porlant case, appeared at his patient's t
house at the usual hour. He had hard-
ly stin-k his hagg-rd face inside the |
door, however, before the man In the
bed gave him a qu’ck glance and sat
up.
"Eh? ejaculated the patient. Then
shoving out his hand to grasp the doc-
tor’s satchel, he added: “Doc, I guess
you’d better get into bed here and
let me go out with tlio medicine
bag."

CURL AT CITY MISSION.
Awful Case of Scabies—Body a Mass
of Sores from Scratching—Her
Tortures Yield to Cuticura.
“A young woKnan came to our city
mission in a most' awful condition physi-
cally. Our doctor examined her and [
jld us that she had scabies (the itch),
incipient paresis, rheumatism, etc.,
brought on from exposure. Her poor
body was a mass of sores from scratch- i
ing and she was not able to retain solid
food. We worked hard over her for seven 1
weeks but we could see little improve- \
mont. One day I bought a cake of
Cuticura Soap and a bottle of Cuti-
cura Resolvent, and we bathed our \
patient well and gave her a full dose
of the Resolvent. She slept better that '
night and the next day I got a box of j
Cuticura Ointment. In five weeks this
young woman was able to look for a
position, and she is now strong and well.

Legend of Magpie and Robin.
The peasants of Franco, In accord-
ance with a tradition, pierce the head
of a magpie with a thorn whenever
they catch one. According to the
French legend, after Jesus had been
nailed to the cross two birds alighted
on the extended arms of the Instru-
ment of death. One was a magpie
with a beautiful aigrette on its head
and a long waving tail, then the hand-
somest of birds but the wickedest,
chirping insult at the suffering Jesus.
The other bird was a modest little
bird with gray plumage, which ap-
proached the cross timidly, uttering
cries of grief. With Its beak it tried
to pluck away one of the thorns. A
single drop of the biood fell on the
pitying little gray bird and gave the
robin redbreast.
Humorously Worded Rebuke.

closed up a long letter with the sen-
tence: “And, finally, my dear sir,
permit me to say that it would Ue
easier for a camel to ride into the
kingdom of heaven on a velocipede
than for anyone to find a late copy of
your paper in the city of New York.”

The Bride's Look.
A girl about to be married worries
so much she begins to look like an
old married woman. In addition to
worrying about her clothes and coax-
ing her folks to give her a new outfit,
she sits up too late with her young
man, and the result Is an anxious,
careworn look a week before the
wedding that cannot be told from the
look on the face of a woman who has
been married a year or two. Look at.
the next girl you meet who is soon to
be married, and you will remark that
she has "aged rapidly.”—Atchison

NOT A MIRACLE.
Just Plain Cause and Effect.
There are some quite remarkable
things happening every day, which
seem almost miraculous.
Some persons would not believe that
a man could suffer from coffee drink-
ing so severely ns to cause spells of
unconsciousness. And to find complete
relief in changing from coffee to I’os-
tum Is well worth recording.
“I used to bo a groat coffee drinker,
so much ro that it was killing me by
inches. My heart became so weak I
would fall and lie unconscious for an
hour at a time. The spells caught
me sometimes two or throe times a
day.
"My friends, and even the doctor,
told nte It was drinking coffee that
caused the trouble. 1 would not be-
lieve* It, and still drank coffee until I
could not leave my room.
"Then my doctor, who drinks Pos-
tnm himself, persuaded me to stop cof-
fee ami try Postiim. After much hesi-
tation I concluded to try It. That was
eight monlhs ago. Since then I have
had but few of those spells, none for
more than four months.
"I feel better, sleep better nnd am
better every way. I now drink noth-
ing but Postunt and touch no coffee,
and as I am seventy years of age all
my friends think the improvement
quite remarkable.”

STAR
PLUG
CHEWING
TOBACCO
STAR has for years
been the world's lead-
ing brand of plug chew-
ing tobacco. Statistics
show that about one-
fifth of all the chewers
of plug tobacco chew
STAR.
There's a reason for
this enormous and con-
stantly increasing
number of STAR
chewers, and it's fust
this—
ST AR Plug has al-
ways been manufac-
tured with one sole
object in view—to give
chewers the best chew
of tobacco it is pos-
sible to produce, yet
to sell this STAR
chew at a moderate
price.
More chewers are
learning every day
that STAR, consider-
ed from the standpoint
of true merit, has no
competitor, and is the
one best chew.
For a long time there
was a prejudice
(which probably still
exists) among certain
chewers against the
use of what is gener-
ally termed “Navy
Tobacco," because of
the impression that all
tobacco of that char-
acter is too sweet.
It is true that some
brands of tobacco,
similar in appearance
to STAR, are too
sweet to please chew-
ers accustomed to the
use of tobacco manu-
factured in thin plugs,
but we know that
STAR is right in
every way.
You use tobacco for
the pleasure it gives—
increase your
pleasure by
chewing STAR!
