enough of it, when the bridegroom was
permitted to overtake the pretended fugi
tive and bear her off in triumph. The
Berricors of France are the only Euro
pean people among whom the form of
capture still survives. Upon the day of
a wedding the doors of brides house

AN EAGLE'S AFFECTION FOR ITS
NATE.

The great American bird is under
every condition bird altogether, but it
usually focks alone on the Wood river,
because its mates are as scarce as lady
partners at a programme ball. That ca
giles are birds of prey is established by
various stories in school-readerS, where
they are shown to have carried off into
midair children lambs and other food ten
times their own weight, and disappear
with them into dim space towards the
SUBMITS OF the mountains, where they
store their grub for winter feasts. The
largest birds of the eagle species are
found in the Wood River Mountains, and
yet no mules nor COWS nor people have
ever been carried away by them. The
eagles of this country have often been
known to omit devouring weakly rabbits
and squirrels, and to have shown almost
Cured ten days since at Fosters ranch,
above HALEY, fully establishes this trait
of the Wood River variety. One of the
ranchers saw a huge sagle futter over
the barnyard interested in fat turkey,
and he Immediately secured his rifle.
The first shot broke the eagles wing, and
III its crippled condition it wobbled and
Topped around, uttering screams of pain.
The man was watching the result before
firing again, when he discovered another
eagle coming from a distance. It was
evidently mate of the FIRST one. Like
an arrow it flew to the rescue, and exam
lining the wound, and seeing its mate
could not escape, it took hold of it by its
claws and beak and flew to the mountain
side, where it laid down the victim of the
sportive hunter. During the past seven
days the men on Fosters ranch have no.
| ticed each day that the mate carried food
to the wounded bird regularly, and is
yet feeding it upon squirrels, rabbits,
birds and mice Mr. Foster could kill
the two birds any day, but has rsfrained
on account of the affection displayed be-
/ tween them. A small American flag will
be fastened about the wounded bird, and
when it again flies it will carry the en-
blem of freedom with it to the highest
mountain peaks Wood River Times.

It was unfortunate for the cause of tenn
perance and notifying to the temperance
league of st. Paul and Minneapolis. that
Father Nugent, who so ably addressed this
organizations last evening, at Market hall,
spoke to so small an audience. The
reason for all this is to be found in the
fact that the notice of the meeting was
necessarily very short and consequently
wholly inadequate, and that the evening
was an unfortunate one, inasmuch as sew
eral other important meetings were being
held in different parts of the city. The
fact that the audience was not as large as
it ought to have been is no indication of
any lack of interest in the cause of tenn
perance. Market hall is an immense hall,
and had the people that assembled there
last evening been in an ordinary sized hall
they would after all have constituted a
good-sized audience.
