FOUGHT WITH A BIG OWL.
Hunter Was Badly Hurt, but Finally
Killed the Bird.

Red Bud Qll) correspondence st.
Louis Globe-Democrat: H. X. Spen-
GER, living near here, had an exciting
encounter with monster owl, which
resulted in Mr. Spencer coming off the
victor with badly lacerated arm, and
in the owl becoming a corpse. Mr..
Spencer was enjoying a days outing
with his gun and his dogs, and along
in the afternoon he saw two large owls
resting upon branch of dead tree
in field. He concluded to take shot
at the birds. He had crept up close
enough to secure a shot, when both
birds took to flight, but he succeeded
in winging one of them. The owl fell
less. Mr.. Spencer had had some ex-
perience with owls before and realized
the fact that it would be safe to take
precautions before approaching it, lest
life had not left the creature. Accord
ingly, he placed his foot upon the owls
feet, and was in the act of cutting it's
throat when the bird suddenly with
drew one of its powerful talons from
under his foot and with lightning
rapidity sunk its claws into his left
arm. Efforts to release his arm from
the birds vise-like grip were of no
avail until he had killed it by crush
ing its head under his heel. Even
then he was compelled to cut the ten
dons of the birds leg before the claws
could be removed from the flesh of his
arm, which had by this time swollen
terribly. Mr.. Spencer brought the
carcass of the owl to town, where it
wax measured. 1t was one of the larg
est specimens of the owl family ever
seen in this part of the country, meas
uring feet inches from tip to tip.

THE DAY OF LOUD NEcKTIEs
a Prevailing Fashion That WIN Prob
ably BE hort-Lived.

ably BE short-Lived.
People who look into the dressed
windows of the mems furnishing goods
establishments see an exhibition OF
colors which puts the dry goods estab-
lishments to shame, and shows that
high and fiashy colors are not woman's
prerogative, says the New York Trib-
une. "The loud necktie came to us
from Paris originally" said leading
haberdasher, "and we have been told
that it came into fashion because OF
the bicycle. The Frenchman began to
wear broad, streaming neckties with
their outing shirts, and occasionally
man would wear bicycle tie when he
was not in wheeling costume, especial
ly when no waistcoat was worn. The
demand grew, and gradually the pat
terms became louder and gayer and
last season young men who were cour-
ageous as to dress began to wear the
ties with morning and afternoon dress.
Then England took up the fashion, and
turned out four-in-hands and ascots
OF the 'greenery gallery class, and the
style was established. AS a matter of
course, the United States followed, and
you see the result in the Kaleidoscope
window displays" Great plaids of
bright colors, stripes of the Turkish
kind, and mottled stuffs that look as
though they had been made for Persian
gowns, have been used extensively for
the new ties. and, not satisfied with
original patterns, makers have turned
out ties additionally conspicuous, with
embroideries Anchors, feurs de lis,
monograms, flowers golf, racing and
yachting designs have been worked in
to black and fancy scarfs, and manu-
facturers found that no matter il their
goods were so loud that they disturbed
the peace there was always a market
for them. But no fashion lasts when
it is copied by the cheap trade" said
the dealer in mems wear, "and the
French scarf soon found its way into
the Bowery and east side stores, where
high colors are always in demand. The
81 scarf was initiated and produced at
so cents, and the yachtsman found his
office boy wearing an anchor bedecked
scarf which to all appearances came
out Of the same box as the one he was
wearing. That settled the matter, and,
although the snowy ties and scarfs are
still on sale, it is safe to say that they
will not be with us long. Black and
white ties and scarfs, or a mixture of
these colors for younger men, will never
be superseded in this country by the
brilliant things that now add to the
display of colors in the shopping dis
trict"

Did Not Wish to he Burden.

Because she did not want to trouble
her family any longer, Mrs. Samuel
Hartman of Mawr Glen, Pa, commit
ted suicide by taking paris green. She
was demented. When Mrs. Hartman
failed to arise at the usual hour in
the morning some of the members of
the family went to her room, where
she was found at the point of death,
although conscious. She said that she
did not want to trouble the family
any longer. and that she had gone
down stairs about midnight and swal-
lowed a quantity of paris green. Sew

hearty old man, with keen, undimmed

in the continuous employ of the COM
pauy for so years and is still better
than many men half his age.
w. H. Green is his name, but every
body on the line calls him Captain

Captain Green is probably the old
est passenger conductor in the world.
If he is not he has the best record, for
not once has he been suspended from
duty for any cause whatever. And
then, too, he has never been injured.
Green was born on September IL, 1927,
in Cockeysville, Baltimore county, Md.
and entered the B. G. o. service March
3, 1850, as a freight brakeman. He was
promoted in two years to freight con-
ductor and in 1857 was given pas
senger train and has served in that
capacity ever since. He is now rum
ming through trains between Baltimore
and Cumberland, Md, and wears ten
service stripes on his right arm.
For many years B. & o. train en-
ployes have had an enviable reputa-
ton for politeness to passengers and
attention to duty, and the adoption of
the service stripe system will give the
travelling public an opportunity to rec
ognize long and faithful service.

Washington Special to New York
Times: There is a warning to Speonk,

befallen Woods Hole, Barnstable

humble and homely name. and smarted
under it. Some time ago its name was
changed to Woods Holl, which had a
sylvan and romantic flavor, and sug-
gested moonlit glades and fiowery
dells. But the change from demo-
cratic Woods Hole to aristocratic
Woods Holl brought upon the COM
munity the scorn of the cynical, the
objurgations of the people who could
not remember how to spell "Holl," and
other troubles too numerous to men
tion. The postoffice officials had their
troubles, too, in the shape of misad-
dressed and blotted envelopes. After
troublous and tempestuous existence
Woods Holl gave up the struggle and
passed away, and the postoffice depart
ment has notified it's employees that
plain, democratic old Woods Hole has
come into being. and that letters ad-
dressed to Woods Holl'' are to go
