Man -Eating Monster Killed at
False Creek, B. C.
A despatch from Vancouver says: -
The most vicious fish that ever came
out of the sea in tho waters adjacen
to British Columbia was the shark
which was killed the other night at.
the mouth of False Creek. The fish
had chased eight-year-old Harry Men-
zies ashore. Fortunately for the
boy Harty Dusenberry was wading
close by, and when the buy rushed
yelling to land the Hurn seized a
handy pike polo and stabbed th
shark in the (lank. The fish turned
its formidable dentistry upon the
man and promptly received the pike
polo down its throat. When the
measurements were taken it was
found that the pole went eight feet
into the shark. 'I'he shark was over
eleven fest long, weighed 1,100 lbs.,
was probably ten ye►rs old, and

King Edmund was one of the East
Anglian kings; was the son of Aik-
mend, a saxon king, by his quern
Mirtrure; was born rat Nun inburg, in
811; began his reign 25th 'December.
855; was crowned and anointed King
of Fast Anglia by Humbert, Bishop
of Huhn, 2eth December, 856, being
only fifteen years of age; was pur-
sued by the Danes, near 'Thetford,
and a bloody battle ensued between
hls forces and Hoose of Inguar. Ed-
mund escaped to Erttullinglon Castle;
was pursued by Inver, who, on Ed-
mund's refusing to give up his king-
dom, had him lashed to a tree and
beaten with wVhips, and afterwards
ordered his head to he struck ofT.
Thus he died, on the 20th November,
870, in the fifteenth year at his
reign, and twenty-ninth of_ his age.
The Danes east his severei' ead and
body into tho woad of 1?gle''1t'rte. On
the departure of the enemy tho East
Anglftins assembled to pay his corpse

they searched every quarter of the
wood. '1'erri:ied 1:y its thickness and
darkness., they called out to each
other, "Where aro you?" A voice
answered, "Here, here, here!" and
they found tho Long -sought head in a
thicket of thorns, guarded by a wolf.
The people, overportcrcil.1sith, Jov,
took the' holy head. anti carried It
to the body, the wolf following in
the procession. The retuning were

Were among the last to expect such
a flattering attention.
'1 he most recent Case is that of
Mr. John K. Lightfoot, who, atter
many vicissitudes, had taker a situ-
ation as a compo'Jitur at Ilull dur-
ing a printer's strike. 31r. Light-
foot, ahs is tho son of a Scottish
r newspaper proprietor, had already
lost a fortune through unfortunate
s,n•culation, and hied reconciled Man-
uel( to a life of hard work when
news came to him one day recently
that his grandfather had diel in
France, and that ho was heir to the
suestantial and quite unexpected for-
tuner.

Mr. Lightfoot i0s but one of a large
number of lucky Wren who have simi-
larly been made rich by relatives of
whom they had lost all truce, or, in
Rome cases, of whose very existenco
they were not arra*e. It is not long
since a Huddersfield warehouseman
awoke ono morning a poor man to
learn that his father, who had die -
appeared years before, had died in
America and left )tint $400,000. Tho
fortunate heir to this unexpected
wealth was engaged to a young and
pretty factory worker, and was in-
dustriously saving a few pounds on
d which to start housekeeping when
o- this windfall camp to make his mat -

LITERALLY GOLDEN.
About the same time a German
dentist in Ekaterinoslav, who was
Y earning a miserable pittance by his
• profession, received tho bewildering
and gratifying news that he was heir
• to $3,000,000 left to him by a dis-
• tant relative in California of whom
g he had never even heard. Of this
n `enormous fortune *1,500,000 was .'
s I waiting for him at tho Konigsberg
Hank, and the remainder was invest -
t tel in gold mines. Equally unexpect-
ed was the surprise Fortune prepared
for .lames Russel, a Vancouver me-
chanic.
o-
chanic. One day, a year or so ago,
Itussel was glancing through a news-
paper while he was eating his tuodest
luncheon, when his eye tell on an ad-
vertisement in which his own nano
appeared. It was an announcement
that a fortune of *5,000,000 was
waiting for "James Itussel and his
wife, if the latter, who is the daugh-
ter of Robert Millar, of Douglnstown,
New Brunswick, would communicate
in writing with Mr. 'John Spencer, of
the Royal Arms." "Half an hour
later," we learn, "Rustcc'I aIP*'nred in
his working clothes with the re-
quired marriage certificate, and when
the proof was found correct Mrs.
Russel, overcome urn) joy, fainted,
and Russel spent tho day in colo-
brating the advent of prospective
fortune."
It was a little earlier that the fol-
lowing romantic etor;v came from
Liverpool. When Mr. Henry Kcclev,
who hod carried on a lucrative busi-
ness as a chemist in Scarborough,
died, an inspection of the premises
led to the discovery of
A NUMBER OF BAGS OF 001.D
weighing in all a hundredweight, and
of copper of the value of $250. No
will was found, and the money, to-
gether with some valuable property,
passed to Mr. John Eccles, 0 sea-
man, and brother of the deceased,
Who had been working for some lino
in the (locks at Liverpool. The for-
tune to thkh the dock laborer thus
became heir was valued at over
$50,000.
More re:marka! le still, perhaps, was
the good luck ora men who a few
years ago wee translated as if' by
magic from poverty to riches. A
