1t is not more than ten years since Mr..

himself we'll on the way TO become famous.
In that short space Of time he has risen 10

TO know that the sympathy for him has come
from the hearts Of his countless readers 1t is
plain now that Kipling, like every author who
has contributed to the lasting delight of man

cXagScrlton to say that his recovery has lifted
a heavy load from thousands who almost for
got to think Of the works they found them
selves so on ,crly sOlicitOus for the man. But
believe there may be dSccrncd in the uni
versal emotion with which his successful strug-
gle with disease has been followed that public
instinct which is almost more precious than
personal feeling for a personality--we mean the
instinct which recognizes the sacred flame of
genius. Mr.. kiplinss readers have much for
which to be grateful. He has brought the play
Of human passions before them; he has shown
them strange lands and peoples; he has inter
prcted anew to them the beauty of h"roism
and truth. Of manlnesS and hard work: he
has made them think; he has enchanted them;
but, most of all, he has given them the rare

CAT KILLS EAGLE IN M1DAIR.
The Feline Then Saves Her Own Life
By Using Her Victim as
ParachUte.

A tiger cat belonging to Farmer
Hazard. of Herrick, Susquehanna coun-
ty, Pa. was strolling out toward the
barn a few days ago, carrying in her
teeth a piece of meat for her young.
A bald eagle. which had been lowering
over the farm for week, suddenly
descended upon her and whirled her
upward in a rapid vertical flight.
The path of ascent. to the eye of a
spectator watching the scene. was
clearly indicated by loose feathers vio-
lently tossed from the point of combat.
In brief time the struggling pair
came to standstill in the sky The
eagles wings had dEooped now and
then. and he had given plain evidence
of pain and terror. yet not once had his
awful grip appeared to relax. AT
length descent was begun. with a
rapidity which increased every mo-
mert. and the two animals struck the
ground at the very point where they
had at first encountered each other but
the eagle was dead. and the cat, as soon
as she feltterra firma beneath her feet.
shot away for the barn. still carrying
her bit of meat
Investigation proved that the cat had
cut the eagles throat and so lacerated
its breast that its body was literally
laid open. After the death in midafr,
however, the cat had been too clever
TO relax her hold and thus fall to the
grouud, but had let her enemy serve
IS parachute TO ease her descent.
The cat is none the worse for her
aerial fight and battle.

MA MIA. Feb. 26.-The military po

each place. This, and the O'Clock
ordinance, 10. effectually dispelling
the fears Of threatened out

dare, singly or collectively, tor
appear on the streets after dark. The
feeling in the city has decidedly inn
proved, although the Chinese are still
timorous. Hundreds of applicants for
cedulus besiege the registers Office,
the natives apparently being under the
impression that their possession in
sures them from interference and the
ignominy Of being searched for arms
on the streets.
It is generally believed that the dis
astrous attempts to attack the city and
destroy property, the Filipinos them
selves being the worst sufferers, will
prevent their recurrence, but every
precaution is being taken to deal with
an emergency if it arises.
Outside of the city the sharpshooters

Six men belonging to the brigade com.
manded by Gen. Harrison Gray Otis
have been wounded since midnight.
All is quiet elsewhere.

Gen. Macarthur anticipated an attack

midnight. But the expected attack
was not made. The rebels, after max

1t is believed their leaders are get

force the United States troops to make
an attack, in the hope Of breaking
through the American lines, but the
rebels are evidently unwilling to be

1t is just possible however; that they
