the head, and the ruff1ed feathers over
the body showed that the captive had
been in chains much longer than it had
been in the window
One Of the crowd in the street was
sturdy young farmer who had come
into town early that morning. He had
pushed his way to the front and stood
looking in silence for long time at
the great, helpless bird. He was sure
he had seen it before. 1t had been cap
tured he learned from what some of
the crowd said, in the country from
which he had come. That settled it; it
was the same bird.
He had seen it on the mountain
where he sometimes had hunted for
stray sheep. He knew the big pine in
the top of which it had it's nest. He
had noted it soar majestically and free
about him as he worked in the valley,
and had seen it sit motionless for
hours on the top Of some tall, distant
ranpike. Now and then he had had a
suspicion that it had carried off an oc-
casional lamb, and had more than once
tried to shoot the bird, but had never
succeeded in getting near enough.

along the window to the door Of the
store; then he went in.
What dye want for that blrd?" he
said. 'I'd like to buy i'm"
1.-TWO dollars" was the reply.
VERY we'll: I'll take i'm"
He paid over the money and the bird
was handed out to him.
The crowd at the window watched
eagerly as the farmer came out with
the big eagle under his arm, and went
straight across the street to where q
ladder leaned against billboard that
was some ten or twelve feet high.
At the foot Of the ladder he stopped
and took the chain from the birds leg;
| then he went slowly UP and placed his
old friend--or enemy, he was not sure
| which, but no difference-on the top of
| the billboard, and came down.
| The great bird had been a prisoner so
| long that it seemed for time to have
| forgotten how to be free. 1t sat for a
while as it had sat in the window. But
gradually it came to itself. 1t lifted
| first one dropping wing and tucked it
| closely to its side, then the other. 1t
raised itself slowly to it's full height,
and stretched out it's great head to-
| ward the sky. The dulness went out
| of the eyes, and fierce new light
flashed in; then, nervously stretching
! out it's huge pinions on either side and
taking a step or two forward, it rose
with a hoarse scream and swept out to-
ward the sun.
A burst of applause from the crowd
met the farmer as he recrossed the
| street.
| II had seen him on the mountain .
he said, IAN + couldn't bear to see him
there" He pointed to the window:
then, in a moment, he was gone

Frank Daniels has part which is said
to fit him to a IT." and he provides a
stream of provoking business.
Moreover, he has fully nine popular

scenery is sumptuous and a very telling
effect is made in the second act, which
represents the interior Of a Hindoo
temple.
Maud Courtney, who plays the part
of the Chief Priestess of the Temple in
1.-THE IDOLS Eye" and sings wonder

SELECTING CIGARS BY COLOR.
One of the most absurd fads of the
cigar trade is that of color in reference
to Havanas. The idea prevails that
color is indicative of strength. 1t is no
such thing. A light or medium colored
cigar is not necessarily mild or medium
in flavor, for the simple reason that the
color refers to the outside wrapper
only, which in itself Is of very thin sub
stance, and in quantity is of very small
proportion to the other materials that
make up the cigar. AS matter of
fact, the filters and bunch wrappers
will determine the body or strength of
the cigar. The actual strength, or,
otherwise, Of the inner body of the
cigar, viz, filters and bunch wrappers,
is too often an unknown quantity. 1t
is quite true that a statement may be
made that these parts are so-and-so.
or mixture of this and that and give
certain ASH ETC., but this explains
nothing. Not only are there various
grades of the same tobacco in relation
to quantity but there are also a variety
Of grades that determine strength.
With the exception that certain to-
baccos have varying degrees of body
OF otherwise, a mild, medium or full
cigar is largely a matter of chance.
The craze for light colors or dark
colors has, nevertheless, assumed
alarming proportions. The manufact-
urers, particularly those in Cuba, are
at their wits ends how to grapple with
the matter. Nature is very impartial
and quietly ignores the fads and
fancies of people in general. Tobacco
leaves, like most things, are subject to
the vagaries of the natural elements.
A crop NAV give an undue proportion
of dark light or medium: except for
color all may be equally good What
is the manufacturer to do If he can
only dispose of his light an5 medium,
and has to keep all his dark! He al
ready threatens to raise the price OF
his lighter colors, in which case the
public would be paying q higher price
for by no means the best article. 1t
might be reasonably assumed that as
possessing the essential qualities of a
good cigar, the darker cigar is by far
