More Than he Could Chew.

One day big hawk darted down in
TO Ethelbert w. Pearce's barnyard, up
in Herrick township. Pennsylvania.
seized q tough old hen. few across the
road with her, and settled down behind
rail fence. Biddy was too heavy for
tho hawk to sail away with. and she
squawked to the full extent OF her lung
power while her broad-winged captor
was pinning her to the ground. The
hawk appeared to know that its actions
were being watched, for every few
seconds it raised its head and peeped
between the rails toward the house.
where Mr.. Pearce. who had got his
rifle the moment the hen thief dropped
behind the fence. was waiting to get
good shot at it. The old hen squawked
right along, nuttered for all she was
worth to free herself from the hawks
jaws, and big claws. and struggled in
the grass, while the hawk held her
down with apparent ease. glanced
through the fence and seemed to be
afraid to begin to devour her so near
to the farm buildings. Twice the
hawk made an effort to rise with its
noisy prey, but the old hens weight
was evidently several ounces more than
1t had been used to handling. and again
1t was forced to settle down. Mr..
Pearce had drawn bead on the spot
in the fence where the hawk was. and
the next time it stuck up its head aud
peeped between tho rails he pulled the
trigger. For moment there was
lively Huttering behind the fence. aud
pretty soon the hen dashed into the
road. with her wings spread out, aud
went limping and s0uaking toward the
barnyard as though she was scared
half to death. The hawk was not
visible from where Mr.. Pearce had
banged away at IL, and he ran to the
fence and looked over. The big bird
lay sprawled out as dead as stone. and
when Mr. Pearce examined it he found
that his bullet had cut the hawks brain
out as nicely as knife could have done

A Royal Wandering Minstrel.

The Archduke Macmillan, shot in
Mexico by the Juarez Government
about the end of our civil war. was In
his younger days famous as singer
and player on the guitar. While tray
cling around on foot. a pastime which
was n passion with him, he would &C.
casionally stop along the lonely road
and sing a song or two or play some
charming air.
Once while thus engaged Inc was
heard by number of peasants. who.
quite ignorant OF his identity. listened
to him with rapture and applauded
him with vigor. IF you come to the
inn." said one OF them. "with that
voice and that touch l can promise
you n good glass of wine, II not a lit

Falling in with their humor. Maxi
milan accompanied them to tho viii
lage tavern.
Here he rendered several choice
melodies with such skill and taste that
he had. SO to speak, his audience at his
feet. and. though the tavern vintage
was not the best, he drained glass after
glass with his new found friends.

go. and when the jolly Boniface found
him determined TO do so he took his
hat and went round among the audi
tors, collecting fair sum. TO which he
added something himself. and offered
1t to the Archduke.
Seeing the honesty of the motive, he
took the coins and put them in his
pocket, thanking them for their ap-
probation and Kindness. At that mo-
ment the village Squire, who knew
Macmillan. happened to enter. See
ing the crowd around him. and not
F1owing the cause, he called out;
Stand back, you clowns! Don't
you know it's the Archduke Maxi

The tavern keeper fell on his knees
in his fright and thinking his money
generosity was the browning infamy
of which he had been guilty he asked
that 1t be given back.

heartily. Its the first money that

was travelling among the mountain,
of East Tennessee and one day abou,
noon was casting about for a place
where might get something to cat, when
my eye was attracted by a number OF
horses that were tied near a runous old
log house.
J Curiosity and hope that might be
on the trail of something to eat drew me
TO the house says Opie p. Read. Upon
entering the doorway l found a Justice
OF the peace holding court 1t was a

prisoner TO be long. lank fellow, with
q bony face and complexion that pro.

them with means which would insure
future income. The work of raising
money was stopped ut the order of Mrs.
Fremont herself. who thought II was
reflection upon her sons In the east, who
had offered her home with them. Be-
sides, the government had just granted
her pension. which was enough for her
present needs.
The movement 10 raise a fund for
Mrs. Fremonrs support was thus stopped
but the ladies of California determined
to present her with a testimonial of
their sympathy and esteem. A commit
tee was appointed. of which Mrs. George
j. Bucknall OF San Francisco is pres
ident, and Mrs. George Hearst secretary.
to raise fund of $4,000. This sum
will be used to purchase the cottage In
which Mrs. Fremont and her daughter
now reside. There will be enough left
after the cottage has been purchased to
pay of some old debts which would
otherwise be heavy drain upon the
moderate income secured to the two
ladies by the pension bill passed by con-
gress.
SO on Christmas the widow of the
''pathfnder' will become the owner of
pretty home in sunny California. She
will have no further need to worry
about present needs. or fear the future,
and she will know that the women OF
California have for her q real affection.

There were four of us In the party,
