IN AN EAGLES TALoNS,

Babe Carried Away by "a Huge Bird of
Prey.
Peter u. Shaw, n farmer and settler,
lives four miles north of Allis, Mich.
IN Presque Isle county with his wife and
three children. Shaw has in his day
dehed the numberless wolves and bears
that infested the woods about his little
home and feared no manner of beast.
On the afternoon of August 4, while
working in the field, his wife brought
her 6-months old baby out of the house
and laid it down on the grass under Il
tree while she sewed
Presently she was called into tho
house, and when she came out she saw n
tremendous eagle swoop down on the
child and sink its talons in his flesh and
clothing. She rushed to the rescue of
her babe. She was too late. The bird
scared out OF her reach. Her shrieks
brought her husband to the scene He
quickly comprehended the situation,
and with his Winchester rifle in hand
he mounted his horse and rode like the
wind to the rocky shores of the lake,
where he knew of an eagles eyrie. 1t
was an hours ride, and he arrived Just
IN time to see Il remarkable sight.
Two eagles were lowering over the
crag OF rock, filling the air with their
cries and battling for the possession of
the babe that lay high upon the rocks.
III was slow work climbing those rocks,
and before the father reached the babe
one of the eagles had fallen to the
ground lifeless, while the other had
again swooped down upon the child and,
picking it up, was bearing il away.
Crack. rang the Winchester this
time with fatal effect, for the eagle
dropped the child and, with a convulsive
tlutter of its wings, fell also. Both eagle
and child dropped into the waters of
Cheboygan lake, right below. Throw
ing aside his rifle the frantic father
plunged from the crag into the water.
He caught the child, but the little one
was dead, both his eyes having been
picked out Shaw carried the body
back to his home and with it the bodies
of The two eagles, one of which had been
killed by the other in the fight, and the
other by the bullet.

BITS OF LIFE.

They are telling good one on Scip
Dundy. He was on one of his hunting trips
up in Wyoming some time ago and fixed I'D
clever trap TO catch some of the memp pers
OF the party and fell into 1T real hard him
self. He came across big log in the woods
one afternoon and carefully measured the
length of 1t for future reference. The next
day ne managed to get the hunting party in
that vicinity and promptly started talk
about his great eye for distance and finally
offered to bet good hat that he could guess
within six inches of the length of the log
near which they were standing. The wager
was taken and Scip, after carefully eyeng
the log for moment, placed its length at
thirty-four feet. A tape line was produced,
when 1t was found that the log was just
thirty-two feet in length. Scip was about
the most thoroughly surprised man you ever
saw. There was man in the party who
didn't seem at all astonished. He had seen
Scip measuring the log the day before and
had gone out IN the night and sawed off two
feet Of the timber. That is the reason Henry
Estabrook is wearing hat which Scp paid
for.

pugs, owned by North Omaha young lady,
which fare even better than the majority of
their pug brothers and sisters. They are
sleek and tat and petted from morning till
night. Their mistress washes and combs
them each day and curls the- tails, accord
ing to the latest fashion. Each afternoon,
when the weather is ine, she takes ber
charges out for an airing. But suddenly
these afternoon promenades ceased, and it
was all on account of the eternal small boy
The particular small boy lived few doors
from the young lady with the pugs, and one
afternoon was out iu the yard playing HIS
mother was watching him from an open
window, and every few minutes he would
call up to her just to sea that she had not
gone away. Just then the young lady with
her pugs came marching along. Tho young
ster stood for moment with wide open eyes
and gazed at the procession. Then he turned
and called to his mother: MAMA! Oh
