The Man-Eating Shark,
Terror to Bathers, and Also
A. Shark, Land Lubber! |
Mao-eating sharks have killed four
parsons and injured many in the seaside
East.
This section of the country is engaged
now, principally, in shark hunting, be
cause human lives are at stake, because
the popularity of bathing is threatened
and because the capital invested by re
sort owners is endangered.
Even the matter of hunting down and
Irfltinf man-eating sharks has, you will
obeerva, its practical side.
There are a lot of resorts in the sea
•ttt East that wouldn’t last very long
waft it not for the health-giving and in
vigorating sport of bathing and riding
the etean rollers, and well anybody
4own that way knows it, which accounts
for the fact that everybody whose
means and livelihood are threatened, is
a part in the shark hunting.
Several of the monsters have been
conquered and dragged out on the sands
as trophies of the hunt, and many more
will meet a like fate.
It U going to be tough on these
fthtrks, because all who are engaged in
the hunt have a common purpose.
Could the people always be found in
a common purpose against their enemies,
thicker among them in society than
man-eating sharks are among bathers in
the ocear, a lot of problems which
years have failed to solve would have
been solved long ago.
A common purpose is a great thing.
This conclusion came to us once with
much force when we saw a team of
great, strong horses making no progress
with its load because one of the horses
had balked, and the other couldn’t pull
both the load and its mate.
This is the first time that man-eating
sharks have been known to come into
the shallow shore waters, and many
theories are advanced to explain their
presence.
Explanation, however, is the easiest
thing in the world.
These sharks are found in shallow
water tor the same reason that you are
found <ti the dinner table.
They have come to shore because they
are hungry.
They haven’t come to spawn because
they do not spawn in shallow water, or
they would have been found in shallow
water before.
Their food out in the deep has bees
supplied from steamers crossing the
oeean. They live on the refuse from
these boats.
The war has cleared the ocean, prac
tically, of steamers,
The sharks have been forced nearer to
abort and they are mighty hungry on
reaching shone,
_______
~iß|Mhs»ls Ipr themM A- Shark,
land lubber, would term “good picking.’
There is positively not a bit of differ
ence In sharks in this respect, whether
they seek their prey in the depths of the
ocean or high and dry on land.
Therefore, the presence anywhere of
A. Shark, land lubber, and man-bilking
land lubber, who lives on society’s fish, is
also easily explained.
You will find A. Shark where those
charged with the responsibility of en
forcing the laws passed for the protec
tion of people are lax and fail to dis
charge this responsibility.
You will find him where laws passed
to make newspaper advertising safe are
not enforced by those whose duty :t is to
enforce them.
You will find him where newspapers
do not care what kind of advertising
they take from sharks, no matter if tak
ing the advertising be against either the
spirit or the letter of the law.
How easily the man-eating shark
, scare in the seaside Fast could be taken
care of if it were possible to stretch a
net that would protect the bathing
beaches, and how quickly the resort pro
prietors, from practical motive, would
have a net stretched.
It would be the easiest thing in the
world to stretch a net that would offer
protection for the public against A.
; Shark, land lubber, looking for “good
picking.”
ALL newspapers, working in a com
mon purpose, would have to refuse,
simply, to let A. Shark’s advertising get
into their columns.
Such concerted action on the part of
newspapers would simply be the dis
! charge of their DUTY to their readers.
And Mr. A. Shark would be found
where he was never known to be before
i —at work.
Man-eating and ley-eating sharks are
too numerous to mention; but it is worth
: while to call attention to one right now.
Seductive cigarette ads are filling the
pages of newspapers that don't care.
“They satisfy! They satisfy!” is the
! persuasive cry accompanying the pictorial
allurement.
In other words, come on in boys! the
cigarette plunging is fine! There is sen
suous languor and sweet content in this
summer sea of indulgence.
And once in, the Shark gets them.
They are fortunate if it is no more than
an arm or a leg that they lose, to leave
them crippled in the race of life.
Often they are consumed, body and
soul, by this insidious monster.

YOUR EVENINGS.
BY H. ADDINGTON BRUCE
Author ? The R.d Ur of "F’syphology and F'arenthood. ' etc
When the day* work Is don*,
when vou have reached horn*,
washed tip. and had your supper,
just how do you spend your even
ing* *
This Is an Important question, as j
you will appreciate on a moment’s j
•tough* The wav a, man spends
h:« evenings has much to do with
his health and his succee, in life.
A-.d unfortunately many men—and
women too —spend their evenings in
such fashion as to injure their j
health and ihatter their possibilities
of sueces*.
I do not refer particularly to those
unhappy people whose evenings are :
spent In reckless dissipation It is
easy enough to foretell what the
future holds In store for them.
The people I have in mind are. j
rather well-intentioned, clean-mind
ed folk, who do not dissipate, yet in '
on* way or another spend their
evenings unwiseiy.
They form a lamentably numer- ,
ous class. Conspicuous among tnem
are the people who ins!** on r*»um- j
In* in the evening the work at i
which they have been engaged dur- !
ins the day.
Or. if they do cot actually resume |
the werk itself, they ,;end ’heir
evenings thinking about it, ponder
Ing problems connected with it
Which, if anything, is worse than
actually working night after night
Occasional night work will do no- i
Vxiv any harm. But to take one’s
work home every evening, whether ;
literally or figuratively, is about as
unwise a thing as anybody can do.
People who dO th’.S grudge even
•he time ’ha* every one ought to de
vote to ’he evening newspaper They
are impatient to *e* their mind*
bulling with thoughts ’hat they
ought to have left behind at oiTVre,

ple who »oon or lat* puffer from

Almost equally erroneous la the
policy port ;*d hy many of seeking

THE REAL TRUTH.
* BY OR. FRANK CRANE
(Copyright, 1916, l.y Kmrk Crane)
The real truth about a mania not
merely the bald facts, but includes all
that is thought, said, and felt aliout him.
Every once in awhile some industrious
biographer goes through all the data
that have accumulated concerning some
historic figure and, sifting it down, pro
duces a little handful of verified facta,
proudly proclaiming that here ia “the
real Washington, the real Carlyle, the
real Napoleon,” and so on.
We deny his boast. A man is as much
entitled to the rumors he has created as
to his other achievements. The diffused
light on a cloudy day, and even the pale
silver of moonshine, is as really sunlight
as are the direct rays of a summer
moon.
A man has a right to his penumbra.
An actor has a right to the curiosity
he has aroused.
A nation has a right to its traditions
as well as to its history.
Brussiloff has a right to the terror of
his name. So has Jess Willard.
A business concern very justly values
its “grHwi will” at so much.
Nothing succeeds like success, because
a man's success builds a platform for him
on which he stands to higher advantage.
If this were not so one’s life would
have no cumulative power, no initiative,
j He would have to begin anew every day.
He would make no progress, but go ever
lastingly around in a circle, like a dog
chasing its tail .
If Mark Twain were alive today he
w'ould not have to try to be funny. Even
at his most casual remark about the
weather we should all explode in peals
j of laughter.
Personality is not bounded by one’s
skin. It is an invisible, electrical some
what that permeates the atmosphere.
The real Thomas Edison. J. P. Morgan,
W. J. Bryan, W. I). Howells, and General
Funston are vast shadowy masses, made
up of the tenuous molecules of influence,
pervading the whole I ni ted States.
None is wholly self-made. His friends
help make him; so do his enemies; so do
Pan and Mercury and Puck; and the
three wire-pulling ladies, Clotho, Lach
esis, and Atropos.
So, great, creative souls form
j “schools.” for the only real school is in
getting a touch of another’s personality.
Not only imitators, but those who absorb
his -piri t and reproduce and propagate it.
When a great man has lived, the world
can never again be the same.
Goethe is a flowing fountain, watering
wide pastures. I Leonardo, Raphael,
I Giorgione—it was not so much what
they did as the spirit they let loose on
the earth. The real Lincoln is more alive
• tiwlay. moulding American ideals, than
he was in IX6O.
Do not talk of luck in fame. Fame has
} its laws severe as anything in Euclid.
There is no effect without adequate
j cause.
Thin la whnt Pater refers to as the
vraie verite (the true truth), “by which
the French recognize those more liberal
