was burning. They tried to get into
the attic and put it out from there,
which would have minimiZed the dam

flooded the house from garnet to cellar
and did great damage. As the house
was just cleaned mp and new furni-

estimate it at over $1,000. The plas-

damaged. The house has an insur-

A farmer in Connecticut had his
chickens and young turkeys stolen. One
night an owl attacked big turkey and
1t was evident in the morning that the
owl and the turkey had had a tremen-
dous fight. but the owl had won and left
the brave turkey dead in the poultry
yard. This made the farmer set a steel
trap, and he caught the thief and muir
derer, but sold him to dime museum
man. who, to his sorrow, found that
the owl was so big and fierce that he
could not tame him, and so had to kill
him; and Mr.. Owl is now Just a stuffed
owl, not particularly pretty or attrac-

HAWK KILLED BY A ROOSTER.
Lively Battle, in which the Little Fell
low Was Victorious.

James Coleman Is the proprietor OF
poultry farm in the vicinity Of Peters
burg. W. Va, and he makes speciality
Of raising game cocks, says writer In
the ST. Louis Globe-Democrat. For sew
eral weeks a hawk has been living in
the neighborhood and the bird Of prey
has been getting his rations from Mr..
Coleman's chicken yard. Coleman had
watched for the hawk for several days,
but had been unable TO get a shot at
the marauder. A short time ago the
idea occurred to Coleman to try the
valor Of one Of his Irish grays against
the hawk. To give the chicken a fair
chance he placed pair Of steel gaffs
four inches long on his heels. The
chicken was turned loose in the barn
yard alone, and the lusty Growing and
strutting walk proclaimed him ready TO
meet all corners. The rooster had every
thing his own way until about o'clock.
when Coleman. who was watching from
the barn, saw the chicken looking side
wise at the clouds. He suddenly turned
Coleman had prepared for that and had
closed the hole through which the
chicken was accustomed to enter. Find
ing retreat cut off. the rooster turned
and stood ready to defend himself. In
another minute the hawk swooped in
sight, and, quicker than thought, was
upon the rooster But the sprightly
Irish gray was too quick for him and
turned aside. barely in time to escape
the huge talons Of the hawk. Then
one OF the prettiest battles ever seen
began. The hawk was at disadvan-
tage on the ground, its wings striking
every time ii attempted to fly. The
rooster, on the other hand, seemed TO
gain courage from his position. and IT,
an instant had planted one Of its gaffs
into the hawks side. The hawks wing
was not disabled. but the rooster had
evidently spurred him deep and he was
less aggressive for a moment, and while
collecting his thoughts, as II were, the
rooster gave him another. The hawk
used his bill. but could not reach his
antagonist nor do more damage than
to pull out few feathers. Finally the
hawk. after fully five minutes effort to
dispatch his antagonist, sat back on his
tail feathers and waited for the rooster
10 attack him. He had not long TO
wait for the Irish gray was fully
aroused by that time, and, flying clear
OH the ground. rose to a point even
with the hawks breast and planted
Doth heels at once into the big birds
neck. This was followed by another
similar move, which sent both gaffs
through the hawks body. one Of them
piercing the heart and killing the hawk
instantly.

ONWARD!

Why march we on, why hope and not de-
spair,
Why seek to right the wrong?
Surely the world We have is very fair,
Surley the world We have is very fair,
And life is not for long
Why think of aught beyond the passing
day?
Why strive to know? Why, sleepless,
watch and pray?
Why not turn sorrow from your gate
away?
And drown her cries in song?
Why leave the Lady Beauty as she lies,
Flower-strewn and strangely sweet?
Will We not look once more into her eyes,
her grace once more entreat?
Loves gifts are all your own if We will
turn,
And perfumed incense in his temple burn;
All joy that life can give you We shall
learn
And dream of bliss complete.
We cannot stay, because the days brief
hours
Allow no time to rest.
Because the war cry Of the heavenly
powers
Commands us to the Quest
While one heart bleeds under the lash of
scorn,
While one soul of its beauty is forlorn,
While each rings with their cries each
weary morn.
We fight for the opprest.
We will not dream, because the spirit
way
Leads up Truths golden stair.
Because we long to catch one lingering
OF glorious mystery there.
For this, We fling aside Loves dear de-
light,
For this, all loss of earthly joy seems
light
To climb until heavn's glory comes in
sight
We must endure and dare.

INSTEAD OF COTTON.
Canaigre Is Becoming an Important Cror
In Texas and Arizonia


The Mexican Financier has an inter.
esting description Of the canaigre crop.
which is becoming important in Texas
Arizona and New Mexico. In the Pecos
valley, in Texas. farmers are going out
OF cotton into canaigre with decided
profit. The plant will grow almost
everywhere in the cotton belt and may
become an important paying crop fur
Their east than Texas. Cultivation in
creases the crop to some thirty tons OF
green roots, which shrink to some eight
tons when dry. The roots yield from
% to 80 per cent Of tannic acid, while
oak and hemlock bark yield only from
TO 10 per cent. Prices Of dried canaigre
root range from $25 to $50 per ton in
the rough. In Europe from $50 to $50
per ton is paid, 1t is stated, and the de-
mand far exceeds the supply. The crop
per acre is said to be worth from SIS
to $225, while the cost of planting and
cultivating is about the same as that
Of sweet potato crop. The fannie acid
from canaigre is said to be exception
ally valuable for tanning uppers, fine
saddlery and fancy feathers. II is used
also as dye-stuff. II deserves the at
tention Of our farmers. who can obtain
useful suggestions as to its cultivation
from the agricultural department at
Washington.

German Account Of the Starry Flag,

A German periodical has the follow
ing story as to the origin of the Stars
and Stripes: The idea originated
with a Dane named Marker. He was
born on the Island st. Croix, of the
Danish West Indies. where his father
and grandfather had lived. In ITS he
left his native island and proceeded to
Philadelphia. He was among the first
to join a company of volunteers for
American liberty and independence.
For valor shown at Oriskany he was
elected captain. and to show his graft
tude he designed flag, in whose upper
corner he applied the thirteen stars
emblematic Of the thirteen original
states of the union. This was the first
occasion upon which the "star
spangled banner" was unfurled. The
original flag of Captain Marker is sup
posed to be in existence in some ma
tional collection of relics of the war of
the revolution.

Collecting Skulls.

A Chicago woman has the unique
fancy for collecting skulls; eminent
people and animals preferred. This
is carrying the collection fad a little
far. but, how original And how de-
lightful for her friends to call for
afternoon tea and to find her in the
midst Of a decadent Golgotha! Truly,
this is sweet age, deliciously piquant!
