MOTT SENSITIVE ABOUT HIS

Reminiscent literature relating to
Frederick Douglass is abundant now
adays The great orator. while chiefly
known as laborer for the liberation
Of his cuSlaved ra<e, was a many sided
man. and, like Abraham Lincoln. with
his serious and earnest nature was
mingled n keen appreciation of humor
He wsls always ready TO crack 4 Joke
which had his own color for its theme.
ana two incidents Of this kind are told
in Kate Fields Washington one Of
these stories relates how Douglass
often laughed over n witty remark by
Mrs. Fred Grant ut his expense whN1
they met ut the Chicago convention Of
1883 The convention had been in
session several days, and there had
ben some baiiotirg the day before !"

miles; steel bridges span the minor
streams; substantial stations, either of
stone or decorated wood, with we'll

appearance with those on our branch
lines. The tank houses are Of hewn
stone. The houses for the employees,
besides being decorative, are most sub
stantial, being built of logs and
cement, painted with five coats Of
paint. Culverts and retaining walls
are of solid masonry; telegraph wires
accompany the road which is worked
strictly on the block system. The
crossings are we'll laid and protected.
The aspect of solidity and perma-
nence is remarkable. Even the tenn

Of heavy timber to resist the impact
of the ice-is so solid and massive as
to make the great steel bridge, the
granite piers for which are already
built, appear a work of supereroga-

THE EAGLE WAS FULL OF FIGHT
But Those Youthful kentucky Hunt
crs Captured it.

Stanley Searcy has Il lonesome look
ing bald eagle cooped in the rear of
the Enterprise Hotel. He captured the
bird Friday, after quite Il fight, and
brought it home in a big box Sunday
night.
Young Scarcy and his friend, John
Long, took Il shot gun and setter dog
and went out along Bull Creek Friday

hawk StruttinG abont on the bank oi

within II short distance of the bird
without alarming it. Searcy lifted his
gun to his shoulder and pulled the triT

powder This started the bird. which
attempted to fly away. 1t was about

with broken wing. The dog ran up
to the bird, and was about to seize
1t I'm his mouth, when the bird raised
Hp and struck the dog through the
upper jaw with its talOns. AS soon
as the dog got loose he started yelping
across the field.
Scarcy and Long hurried up to the
bird, and Srarry stopped over to pick
it up. Just as he was about to seize
the bird IT tapped its good wing and
struck the boy II stunning blow in the
face. knocking him down. Searcy
knew by this time that he was not
dealing with Il chicken hawk. He
wanted to capture the bird alive, so,
instead of shooting it, he went at it
with his dubbed gun He struck at
the birds head with the gun, but
the blow was lodged, and before he
could gather himself for another blow
the eagle flew Mt him and fastened his
long hooked beak in his arm.

neck with n stick so that the bird was
dazcd. The two boys pounced on the
bird together and bound its legs and
wings together with some Irvine they
happened to have In their pockets
They thought they had had exciting
experiences enough for one hunting
day, so they carried the bird in tri-
umph to Longs home. The bird
measured exactly seven feet from tip
TO tip of it's wings. 1t is the only one
that has been captured alive in that
region in five years. The farmers
around Bull Greek say it must have
been driven down from the mountains

of Captain Davis, of the United States
ship Montgomery, upon the lnvstlga-
lions in Honduras into the circum-
stances surrounding the killing of the
American. Renton, ut Brewers lagoon,
has lust been received ut the navy

able with the responsibility for the
affair, and has been dcrelict in failing
to take any steps whatever to as
certain and punish the perpetrators OF
the crime Captain Davis visit awak-
ened the Honduran officials and there
is now Il fair prospect that tardy jus.
tice will be secured ut last,
Captain Davis found the injury sus-
