Hawk Outgeneraled.

An Alabama gentleman has flock Of
pigeons that recently came off victori-
Gus in battle with hawk. While TAX
ing an outing the hawk got between
them and their cote, and the pigeons
realized that if the pirate of the air got
above them it would swoop down and
mfalibly get at least one victim. So
up they few in CIRCLES, perhaps hoping
to get up higherstAsn tAeshawk. But
in this game they were no match for the
hawk. The latter kept under the pi-
geons and leisurely mounted upward.
Then the pigeons must have:ltaaF cob
sultation, and they suddenly resorted to
rev tactics. Every pigeon closed its
wings, making itself small and COM
pact, and dived down past the hawf
like . bullet. The marauder was so
astonished that it actually lodged the
dropping birds and they were on the
ground before it recovered its wits
enough to start in pursuit. When It
came down not pigeon was in sight;
some were in the cote. one in the
Kitchen snd two in the shed. The hawk
had been completely outgenera1ed, and
after disappointed squawk it flew
away to try its luck elsewhere:@G6 Golden
