Dear Friend:
I am going to make a
resolution for this
year. Mama has left
the buying of the
groceries to me, and I
have made up my mind
that all of this year
I am going to go ;just
to one place to get
our groceries, because
I never have to make a
trip bach with some¬
thing Mama doesn't
like, and she says we
don't have to pay too
much where we trade for
what groceries we buy.
Your Friend,
Jacob.
P. S. A store always
gives you better
attention when you
give them all your
business. We will
never quit buying from

A WHALE IN A HURRY.
The Truthful Mariner Tells How Fast
the Big Fellow Went.
“Sometimes you can put an iron Into
a whale and he won’t splash on the
surface, but will start off like a rock*}
or perhaps will go right down and you
have to cut loose and lose your line
and irons,” said the truthful old mar
iner.
“We were lying becalmed one day off
the Cape of Good Hope. By and by
we saw two or three whales coming
up to blow about two miles away.
“The captain called the watch up,
and a couple of boats started for the
whales, which were lyijg still, as if
sunning themselves. We raced with
the other boat and got nhead. for my
men were lithe and tough, and by and
by we got alongside of one «»f the big
fellows. The steering oar was pulled
In, the oars were packed—that Is, piled
In so that they couldn't strike the
water—then an iron was thrown Into
the floating island.
“The whale lay still tor a moment,
as if struck with amazement that any
one should dare to touch him. Sudden¬
ly he made up his mind what to do.
He started off like a locomotive, the
rope whizzing around In a way to as¬
tonish a landlubber. When the rope
was out we were rushing by the cap¬
tain’s boat like mad.
“All we could do In that double end
ed boat was to sit still and see her go
through the water. 1 candidly believe
that we went at the rate of a mile a
minute, and the water was a very
wonderful sight. It reminds me, now
that I think of it, of Poe's description
of the Interior of the maelstrom,
where the water went round so fast
and was so black that it must bare
seemed like a wall of polished ebony.
“The pressure downward piled the
water up on both sides of us so that
It seemed to be at least three feet
higher than the edge of the boat, but
It couldn't run In. for we were going
so fast It hadn't time
“Every one’s eyes were blurred with
the wind, which seemed to be blowing
a hurricaue against us. It looked as If
the whale would never get tired out,
and we were going to sea at an amaz¬
ing rate. The ship went away as if by
magic, and we had lost sight of the
other boat. Filially the line all at once
slackened
“The whale hadn’t stopped and, for
all I know. Is going ahead at the rate
of a mile a minute still, but tffe Iron
had come out.
“We rowed back to the ship, and as
we came along the captain called over
the rail:
“ ‘Where’s the whale?
“ ‘Oh,’ said I, ‘the Iron melted out. he
went so fast’
" 'Just what I thought,’ said the cap¬
tain. and that night we all had plum
fluff and grog.”—Chicago Inter Ocean.
