wagon near the barn and did not see the hawk with Tapping wings rise into the air olutching tight the little white chick fright ened and still. But perched upon some trees the other side of the swamp were eight black crows. They had seen it all. Putting their eight heads together these crows consulted hurriedly and then with & loud, defiant chorus of "caw, cav, cav" they took wing. The bird of prey had not arisen fifty feet into the air before the crows had completely surrounded him. They pscked at him above, below, in front and behind. They would rise many feet above and shoot downwsrds one after the other at the hawk with the swiftness and celerity of swallows. The hawk. burdened with the bresthless chick, could not en- dure the savage onset and soon sank among the trees. But the crows, crying ''caw, caw," more dehantly than before, beat upon him still and at last the hawk dropped the chick and angrily dashed upwards again. For minutes the battle ragged over the tree tops. The hawk was fierce in his defence, bu. the crows, using the same tactics ss before, gradually drove him higher and higher still, until finally, dis comfited and thoroughly beaten, the bird of prey sailed of to the south, whither he was followed miles and miles by two of the more pugnacious crows. The others now flew In the opposite direction and dis appeared.
 Meanwhile what had become of the Ht- tie white chick, to whose rescue these eight crows had so chivalrously goneI With feathers sadly ruffied and her breast black with the slime of the bog into which she had dropped from the claws of the hawk, the dazsd chick was slowly and painfully hopping back through the swamp to the maternal roost And all this time, like the peasant who, ss Zola tells us, ssrenely titled his little patch of earth with the bat tie of Sedan raging in his ears, this farm CT of Feeding Hills was cutting cornssalks unconscious of the exciting drama of the hawk and the chick and the eight black crows

- The Barred Owls Hoot.

IFrom the Lewiston Journal
 The barred owl (S. nebulosum) I have found the most abundant of any species in Maine. An acquaintance of mine could initiate their calls so perfectly that he was able to shoot many of them after enticing them within range.
 I accompanied him bowling" one night The locality We selected was where the highway cut in twain dense growth. A brook spanned by 6 bridge wandered down between hills rising abruptly on either hand. It had promised to be a moonlight night, but before we had arrived at our retreat feecy clouds, followed by others more opaque, had changed the aspect of the sky till we realized that in the opening we could get the benefit of only a 'half light" while even that would be wanting amid the forest shadows; nevertheless we pressed on and took up our positions a lit tie distance apart, and then my friend broke the silence, which had become sl most oppressive, with a loud single boot followed by others in & lower key, but no less distinct, winding up his effort with sn attempt so realistic that l quite fancied that he must be twisting and tobbing his head in true owl fashion.
 After the last note had ceased repeating its refrain from hillside to hillside an in- terval of silence ensued, broken only by the peeps of an awakened frog down by the brookside; then far away among the woods We heard the unmistsksble call of & barred owl, then again nearer, as if our echo was returning to us. Again my friend called, and received his answer SO quickly and so loudly that these echoes in- termingled ss they died away below us. and another recruit joined in on the cho- rus from the hilltop on our left Two pairs of them were soon making the woods ring with their outcriss. and was having hard work to tell which was owl and which was human; for the birds had taken possession of the trees all about us, and while now they seemed willing to utter their own calls and to supply the answers as well, my friend could not refrain now and then from stirring them to better eff forts Shooting was out of the question, the night being go dark, but we sat there for some hours listening to their recital, and, finally, as We tranped homewsrd and as their notss grew fainter, we could al- most distinguish a spirit of rivalry in them, and wondered If dsybresk, which was not far distant, would end the con-

SOME ELECTION BETS.

Betting which horse will come in first in a swindling race, or betting which lump of sugar will first attract fly seems foolish enough, but some of the election bets which have been settled during the last few days are even more foolish. The atten- tion of philosophers and others interested in the antics of the human race is invited
 A Philadelphia man was so sure that Harrison would win that he has been obliged to push peanut along the side- walk on Chestnut street from Broad to Seventh with toothpiok.
 Henry Rudolph of Evanston, Ohio, has for several years sought unsuccessfully for the hand of young woman named Law renee of the same town, and this year she thought to put an end to 1t all by letting the result of the election decide it. If Cleveland was elected she would marry him and if it was Harrison he was to give it up and court her no more. Henry is married now, and hasn't yet been heard to say that he wishes he had lost his bet.
 Some Maine Republicans didn't hesitate to show their faith in the success of the Republican cause. An Augusta Republi- can promised, in case Cleveland was elect ed, to pay a Democratic friend ten cents for every profane remark he made about election results. It is now said that his Democratic friend owns @ mortgage on his house. A Portland barber told his customers that If Cleveland was elected he would shave his Democratic patrons free for one year. He now says ne never knew there were 80 many Democrats in Port ! land.
 A good many people in staid old Massa- chusetts went idiotio sbout the election. A Gloucester man, in consequence of en-
 tbusiasm untempered by judgment, WAS
 yesterday kicked from Parmenter's wharf | to Main street. A Dedham man agreed that if Harrison was elected he would | walk backward from that town to Nor
 wood and return, a distance of eight
 miles, in the dark. A Springfield man, 8
 good Republican, has started @ goatee.
 This is result of Harrison's defeat. He
 has agreed to let the hair on his chin
 grow until another Republican president
 is elected. Three Chicopee girls, who
 were very sure that both Halle and Harri-
 son would win, had to promenade the
 streets in male attire and with false boards
 and silk hats
 And so forth and so on. It does beat

 anything else to do.

The Crows and the Hawk.

A white-feathered chicken in search of worms strayed from the yard of Feeding Hills farmer early Sunday afternoon and was eoon scratching merrily in the black loam of a swamp near by. A big hen hawk that was sailing lazily along far up in the sky tipped sn eye downwsrds and saw the little white chick. The hawk had had no dinner and was very hun gry. The big, hungry hawk suddenly shot down like a stone, and before the chick could run or chuck, or even flap her funny little wings, she was in the hawks cruel claws.

All Souls Day Observance.

Every one of the several hundred graves in the Cemetery of the Most Holy Redeem CT, on East Riddle street, has been decked with flowers and lighted with candles dur ing the past two days. The big congrega- tious of St. Miohsers and St. James, Cath oIic churches, who use the cemetery, have decorated the graves in honor of All Souls day. For two days men, women and chill dren have been coming and going, some on foot and some in carriages, while many carried lunch with them and spent 6 whole day with the dead. At night fall the candles sent up a pale flutter of | lights from each mound The visits to the | burying place are a survival of the former | custom of celebrating macs and offering | prayers for the repose of the souls in pur- | gatory. It was customary in European cities in former times on All Souls day for persons, dressed iu black, 10 traverse the streets ringing bell at every corner and calling on the inhabitants to remember the souls in purgatory, and to join in prayer for their liberation and repose. At | Naples the charnel houses were thrown open. They were lighted with torches
 and decked with flowers, while crowds thronged through the vaults | to visit the bodies of their | friends and relatives. The remains were
 dressed up in robes and arranged in inches along the walls At Sslerno 1t WAS custo-
 mary for every house to have a sumptuous
 entertainment for the souls, who were sup | posed then to revisit their former homes
 temporarily and make merry in the scene | of their earthly pilgrimage All the peo- | pie left the houses and spent the night in

 iting spirits. The thieves assembled from
 all parts of the country and made hsr.

Woman Is EnIarging Her Sphere.

We are always glad to chronicle prog
ress on the part of the fair sex. Wher
ever they seem to be rivaling men il
any Of The industries, or when they seel
out entirely new avenues to the pursuit
of happiness and prosperity, we en-
deavor to give them full credit
We call attention, therefore, to the
fact that six women, sisters, have re-
Gently been arrested as stage robbers,
They were dressed as men, however.
This was a concession to prejudice which
Is unworthy a strong minded female rob-
Der. The women wore trousers so that
their appearance might suggest that
they belonged to the awe inspiring sex.
We must infer from this that they had
no confidence in petticoats when it came
to an emergency like this. The thought
of six women holding him up and rob
bing him would have so maddened a
stage driver that probably sixteen wom-
en- could not have held him. So the
girls took refuge in trousers as a sort Of
scarecr0w
Another act of theirs was unworthy
When the detectives of Salmon Falls,
Ida, traced the six girls to their lair
and arrested them. they whined at once
and said their father made them follow
stage robbing for living; that they did
not want to do it at all. Now that story
is mean as well as improbable. Girls
that could stop a stageful of passen-
gers and rob them, holding a pistol at
their heads meanwhile, are hardly the
sort of ladies that an old man of any
kind could compel to do what was dis
tasteful to them. The tale is gauzy.
Meantime on the other side of the
world, Behauzin, king of Dahomey,
sends G,000 of his women warriors to
fight the French, because the women
are fercer and more fearless than his
men soldiers. All Dahomey is filed
with the lamentation of husbands whose
wives have thus been ruthlessly torn
from them to go and fight in the cruel
war. An Amazon warriors lot in Da-
honey is not happy one. If the
French kill her, then she gains glory;
but if she comes back alive and the war
has gone against the Dahomeyites, she is
beheaded for cowardice. There isn't
much choice either way.
But straws show which way the wind
blows. We mention these items as proof
Of how woman is distinguishing herself
