THE STARS circulation in
the City of Washington is more
than three times larger than
that of any other newspaper, and
the number of its readers more
than FIVE times as many. AS
an advertising medium it there
fore stands without a COMPETE
tor, whether either EXTENT or
QUALITY of circulation is con-
sidered. That the intelligent
public thoroughly understands
these facts and acts upon them
is conclusively shown by the
steady and rapid growth of the
papers business both in circula-
ton and advertising patronage.

An EAGLE KILLS A CHILD.
1t SwoOped Down on a PapOOse and Had
Fight With the Squaw.

a right With the Squaw.
A Sault Ste. Marie (NIich.) dispatch to the
New York Sun says: John Powadje, a former
chief of the Chippewa tribe of Indians, lives on
the banks of st. Mary's river and acts as
guide for numerous hunting parties. Friday
three Cincinnati men engaged him for day $
hunt They started to cross the river Satur-
day morning. and when nearly over noticed a
large bird flying high in the air
The Indian said it was an eagle and sug-
gested that he should row back to the American
shore so as to be within gunshot OF the bird
if it should descend. He did SO and the bird
came down within mile of the point where
the party landed. They. started for gunshot
distance.
Powadje's squaw meantime had gone down
to the river to get some water, leaving her
three-months old papoose tied TO the usual board
and leaning against the side of the hut. The
eagle soaring high Ill the air spled the child
and slowly descended to the earth. When
about 200 feet from the ground the bird made
swoop down on the helpless babe
The squaw saw tue eagle swoop and supposed
1t WAS after 4 chicken, but was Mortified mo-
ment later to see the eagle rise with the child
in its talons. When about ten feet from the
ground the bird dropped Its load. but immedi-
ately swoOped down on 1t again. Failing i'll an
attempt to pick up the child again the eagle
pecked at Its throat and eyes, gouglng one eye
out and decorating the chiid's body. The squaw
soon reached the spot and attempted to drive
the eagle off with stick. The bird turned on
her and pecked at her neck inficting a serious
cash. 1t then rose In the air about 100 feet.
and apparently changing its mind. swooped
down again. At this moment the sound of two
distant rifle shots was heard. and the bird fell
to the ground. A minute later Powadje's
party rushed up to make sure of their game.
Powadje had scarcely reached the eagle when
he heard a shrek from his squaw. and he dis
covered that his child had been killed. 1t is
not known whether the child was killed by its
fall or by the loss OF blood from its wounds.
The eagle was one of the bald-headed variety,
and one of the largest ever seen here.

The Mason and Dixon Line.

The Mason and Dixon line runs along
the parallel of latitude 80 degs. 43
min, 26 degs. 8 min., separating Penn
sylvania from Maryland. It was
drawn by two distinguished English
surveyors, Charles Mason and Jere-
miah Dixon, who began their work in
1853 and finished it in 1857. The line
is marked by stones set at intervals of
five miles, each having the arms of Lord
Baltimore engraved upon one side and
those of the Penn family upon the other
Besides these large stones set to mark
each fifth mile, smaller stones were set
at the end of each mile, these having a
large P engraved upon one side and the
letter NJ on the other-these intended as
initial letters of Pennsylvania and Mary
land.
All of these stones were engraved in
England. The Mason and Dixon line
was not the line separating the free and
the slave States. The line settled on in
the compromise of 1920 was SO degs. SO
min. The Mason and Dixon line, as
shown above, runs along the parallel of
80 degs. 43 min.--St. Louis Republic.
