THE AUGUSTA HERALD, AUGUSTA, GA. Sleepytime &TALBM HOW THE WHALE LOST HIS DINNER. (By Virginia Vale.) Otir* upon a time there were ,i family of fishes whose home was near the home of a big black whale. Their mother had told them to be very careful and swim away If they saw any signs of the whale for whale*, you know, are very fond of little, young, and tender fl*h. One day the haby fish of the family went out for a long swim. She wa* Just going to turn back and swim home when something big and dark popped up beside hen and. before she knew It, she was swallowed whole by the whale. Oh dear, what should she do and how was she gotng to get out and back home? So she began to think and at last thought that she would run around and around and let her sharp tail and fins tickle the whale and perhaps he would open his mouth to laugh and she could run out of his mouth and home She started and flew around until she was so dtssy she had to stop. After she was rested she started again harder than ever. At last'the whale began to tremble and shake and then the fish knew she had tickled him and he had started laughing and she kept it up until all at once h* opened his mouth and out she flew lnt > the cool water. She swam home as fast as she could and told her mother about her adven ture and how she had escaped. "You were very fortunate, mv child ” said her mother, "and I hope after this you won’t go very far from home." The fish promised that she would be very careful ai . ns long as she lived she took her dally swim near home. If you want a good suit for your money, sccF. G. M -tins.

Here Is a letter from Adolphe Coussmaekers, dated Antwerp, which tells of the gross est brutalities: "Tt should be known In England that unspeakable outrages and horrible mu tilations have been committed on de fenseless women and girls by German troops In the districts of Orsmael. Velm, and Aerscliot. The following nine cases are known: "1— Old woman: throat gashed with bayonet; two wounds on right hand, a bullet in right leg, end of nose cut off. 2 Middle-aged women: both eyes car ried away by bullet, right hand gashed, throat severed with sword cut, left foot broken by bullet. 3 Young woman; two bullets In breast, sword cut In abdomen, ear slightly gashed. 4 Domestic servant: three bnllets in abdomen, sword cut In right shoulder, extremity of right ear cut off. left arm shattered. US—Young girl; throat cut with sword, three bullets; two In abdomen, one in left thigh. *—Woman aged thirty; two bullets in left breskt, sword cut on top of skull nose cut off. I —Young girl; cheek laid open by sword cut abdomen lacerated vertical ly; hullet In head above left ear. 8— Farmer’s wife: a bullet in breast. One in left side, one In leg, right ear cut off. 9 Woman aged forty: head almost sevrt'ed from trunk by sword cut, gashes on both breasts, nose cut off. Words fall to convey the horrors suf fered by others still alive, and vet the Emperor of Austria has. so we read in the Journals, congratulated the Kaiser on the glorious successes of his troops. May God save Belgium in these days of her bloody and cruel anguish.’’ ENGLISH CHANNEL FREED OF MINES BY AEROPLANES London.—The work of freeing the Eng lish channel of German floating mines la largely being done by aeroplanes. At least fifty aeroplanes have been employ ed for weeks In crossing and recrosstng the channel In search of mines.
