An Electrified Sidewalk,

People in the neighborhood of tic cor
ner Of Main and State streets mad some
excitement yesterday shortly after
noon. A trolley supply wire in some
way broke away from the insulator
and came in contact with the iron pole
The electric fluid soon reached the
sidewalk and filled the icy bricks so
that several persons received severe
shocks. For Il while, as the first vic
tins watched for the ones who might
follow, there was lots Of fun A man
man would come along, and As, he
reached the limits Of the elcctricity's
force, would stop suddenly and look
down to see what had struck him. A
step forward and another severe shock
and he would grow pale and all sorts
of awful things began to rush on him.
Dire diseases which began by such
awful symptoms, the victim would req
son, must be shortly fatal. but soon the
laugh of some watchers or the sight Of
another victim would rrassure him, and
soon the cause was found. But the
funniest of all was Il little dog who
came running joyously down the street
and on the charmed walk. Then came
howl of wild anguish and surprise.
and the dog tried to leave. But he
couldn't; the harder he tried. the closer
he was drawn toward the pole. He lay
down; worse yet; every hair formed Il
wire, as it We're, to conduct the fluid
to his body. At last a desperate jerk,
and he fell into the gutter, where he
found relief. Soon after the wire was
fixed and the fun ceased.-Springfield

EAGLES ON THE ST. LAWRENCE.

They nre Undisturbed mud Build
Nests Year fter Year.
Two eagles have built their nests for
years in an old tree which stands not
FAR from the st. Lawrence River in
Lisbon, at spot about eight miles
north of Ogdensburg. The spot is a
slightly one and the tall trees in this bit
OF the old forest where the birds make
their summer home is known by the
dwellcrS for miles around. Each year
the eagles come. and their arrival is
as much expected and talked about
as Is the date when the ice will break
up in the river which flows near by.
Two eaSletS have been Matched each
year, time out of mind. and it is one
OF the interesting incidents in the neigh
borhood when the old birds shake
out the young ones to give them their
hrst lesson in flying The birds never
go far from home in the summer. Al
most every bright day one of them
may be seen sailing high above the
blue ST. Lawrence on the watch for a
hsh, and then. falling like an arrow, to
bury Its claws in the back of its prey
ana sail homeward for fish dinner with
It's mate. All summer they are there,
ana when the autumn colors come up-
on the trees they go away. to come
again next spring. No one harms
them.
One day last September,as reporter
was driving near the eagles home,
one of them was seen circling slowly
several hundred feet above the river
"A farmer near by called attention to
the bird with evident pride.
Does no one try to shoot them?' he
was asked, after telling how they
came there every year.
No" he said, never"
why. not?" he was asked.
'"rhe people know the birds so well
that they would not allow it reckon. y
was the reply. III anybody was to
hurt one Of them birds it would make
q powerful sight Of talk in this neigh
borhoOd"
Another farmer a short distance on
also fell to discussing the eagles. and
he was asked if no one tried to shoot
them.
NO." he said. Not once. 1t would
mt do. Nobody wants to harm them
1t sort O makes everybody feel good to
see the nations bird flying near by
There amt no danger Of anybody's
ever trying to kill eagles in this part
of the country
A few miles further on, another far
mer, who had the reputation of being
a hunter,fell to talking about this noble
pair Of birds. which seemed to be re-
garded with about the same patriotic
sentiment as the flag or the goddess or
Liberty.
why doesn't somebody shoot
thcm?' the old hunter was asked.
"Wa'al he replied. forcibly, "a good
