The DanRerous End.

An Ass once enyelOped Himself in q
Lions Skin, hoping that he would
thereby Escape Annoyance from the
Rest OF the Brute Creation.
But seeing a Tiger approaching, and
fearing his inability to look as fierce as
his Assumed Character required, he at
once turned his back toward the Tiger
and remained Motionless.
"Ahr' said the Tiger to himself, "for
once mine ancient Enemy, the Lion,
has relaxed his usual Vigilance. III

therell be a Funeral in the morning"
But his Vicious Spring was met by

EAGLES AND THEIR PREY.
A Giant Bird Whose Race Has Hap
PLY Become Extinct.

There is at the present moment at
the Natural History museum n model
of the skull of an eagle so gigantic that
the Imagination can scarcely lit it into
the life of this planet at all.
The whole head is larger than that Of
an OK, and the beak resembles Il pair
of hydraulic shears. Unlike most Of
the giant beasts. this eagle, which in
habited Patagonia. appears from its
remains to have differed little from
the existing species, Its size alone
distinguishes it. The quilts of the
feathers which bore this awful raptor
through the air must have been as
thick as a walking stick and the webs
as wide as car blades. 1t would have
killed and torn to pieces creatures as
large as bison and whirled up into
the sky and dropped into the rocks
the gigantic carapaced animals of
prehistoric Patagonia as easily as Il
modern eagle of California does the
land tortoise on which it feeds.
Even today there are few carnivo-
rous animals, whether birds or beasts.
which have so wide q range of prey
as the eagles. Like the HINGED drag
ons of old story, they can ravage
earth, air and sea and feed promiscu-
ously on the deniZens of all three ele-
ments. From serpents on the burning
desert to seals on the everlasting ice,
from monkeys in the tropical forests
to marmOts on the Alpine slopes, from
dead sheep on highland hills to pea
cocks in the Indian jungles, no form of
fish, flesh or fowl comes amiss to them,
and the young eagle, driven by the in
exorable law of his race from the home
where he was reared, finds a free
breakfast table wherever he files

Question Answered.

Yes. August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in the
civilized world. Your mothers and
grandmothers never thought of using
anything else for indigestion or bill

they seldom heard of appendicitis.

etc. They used August Flow

fermentation of undigested food, reg

the nervous and organic action of the

SCHOOL GIRLS FOOD.
A Very Important Question for Growing

IL.
A little girl in Providence, r. l.,
high school. was badly run down.
owing TO the fact that she was not
properly fed. When her parents dis
covered the value of Grap=-Nuts food
she quickly recovered. Her fathers
letter is as follows:
Without any desire whatever for
publicity-in fact. with every desire to
avoid it. yet would like you to know
of the following in refereace to Grape
Nuts.
my daughter isl in the Providence
High school. English department,
and working verv hard, her studies
telling on her severely, partly because
of serious illness she had some two
or three years since. She had been
accustomed to take meat luncheons
with her, and to obtain a cup of hot
drink, often of milk, at the school
building. She came home quite hun
grv. however, on most occasions, and
somewhat exhausted.
Three months ago she began TO
carry Grape-Nuts instead of her
meat sandwiches. and now will not
forego them. She says she can stand
the after study on them better and
has no sense of exhaustion on reach
ing home. although always able to
enjoy her meal. as her appetite is
good.
I'VE regard this as strong testimony
in favor of Grape-Nuts. and if you
can use it without publishing our
names. we shall be pleased to have
you do it. and will further say thai
we shall be glad to answer questions
on the subject through the mails. We
have used Grape-Nuts as an article

BANK ROBBED.

Three Hen Enter at Noon and
Compel the Cashier to Open the
Safe, Securing S13,ooo-Escaped
on Horses.
/, WINNEAIUCCA, New, Sept. 19.-The
First National bank was robbed OF
about $4,000 al noon to-day by three
men who entered the front door OF the
building and with revolyers made all
present throw up their hands. There
were five people In the. bank at the
time The robbers threatened with In
stant death the first man who made a
show of resistance. One robber. at the
point OF pistol. made Cashier Nixon
open the safe and take from It three
sacks Of gold coin. They threw this In
an ore sack. together with all the gold
coin In the office drawer. The robbers
then marched the five men out through
n back door to an alley. where three
horses were waiting. The men were
kept covered with guns until the des-
peradoes mounted their horses and es-
capped. The whole affair occurred In
but five minutes Officers and armed
citizens have started in pursuit of tho
robbers. who took a course up the river.
A posse has also started from Goldcon-
da to head them off, and 1t is thought
they cannot escape. -

pected the men to do the same. He also
said that he would abide by the decis-
ion OF the nrbitrators no matter what
the award might be. Mr.. Markie con-
cluded his address by paying his re-
spects TO tie United Mine Workers Of
ficials. calling. them agitators and
charging them with being responsible
for all the turmoil In the region,
Mr.. Mitchell then got on the steps.
and standing beside Mr.. Markle, told
the crowd that the United Mine Work
ers' Union would not accept arbitration
on that basis. It must be the whole re-
gIon and not}a part Of 1t. s
Father Phillips for Arbitration.
Il AT this point Father Phillips, who
was in the crowd. was called up and he
delivered speech favoring arbitration.
President Mitchell and Mr.. Markle
again spoke and Benjamin James also
addressed the men. but their remarks
were largely OF personal nature. The
meeting lasted two hours, breaking up
ut twilight.
The McAdoo miners to the number
OF $50 marchad to Colerain this after
noon, where they gathered quite a
crowd together and listened to the ad-
dresses by strike leaders.

Coal Running Short.

HAzLETON, Pa, Sept. l9.-Every-.
thing was quie: on the north side this
morning. Many workers In that section
of the region did not go Into the mines
and It was estimated that only about 25
per cent of the men are working. This
the strikers claim Is. quite a gain.
Many pickets were stationed along
the roads leading to collleries and they
Induced large numbers of men to stay
away from the mines.
The Hazleton division Of the Lehigh
Valley railroad. which taps nearly ev-
cry colliery in this region, yesterday.
handled $50 cars of coal. The average
daily number Of cars handled before
the strike began was 500. Much OF the
coal shipped yesterday was mined last
week. The supply of coal at the collier
les is running short and to-day's report
of shipments vii! no doubt show a con-
siderable reduction.

at Rexburg, st. Anthony. Idaho Falls
and Blackfoot. Short speeches were
made by Governor Roosevelt and 9TH

accompanied the party through the
day.
At Rexburg, Governor Roosevelt said:
imperialism you hear talked Of.
What does 1t mean? 1t means nothing.
There is not an imperialist in the coun-
try that I have yet met. Expansion,
yes; playing the part Of a great nation.
Why am I speaking to you2 Because
you and your forefathers expanded into
this country. because you moved in here
In your white-topped wagons, and came
across the plains and over the noun
tains OF Utah to become miners and
ranchmen and when you get here you
began to irrigate the soil. And that is
one of the problems OF the nation and
the nation has got to help in solving IT,
At St Anthony the governor was
driven to the Opera House, where he
spoke briefly on expansion. - ;sis;-.;ss -.
AT Idaho Falls, Governor Roosevelt
made a speech from the train on the
same subject.
At Blackfoot, Governor Roosevelt
made speech in the court house

Governor Roosevelt addressed two
meetings here this evening. lone a,
Pavilion hall. and the other at Lewis
hall. Both were largely attended. Sem
