ing about the ground. When the cu~n-
batants were brought to their feet again
by Mr.. Lord the owl refused to break
clean and his claws remained firmly inn
bedded in the flesh. The owl had to be
killed and the tendons in the leg cut be-

Withdrawn from the mans hand. He
learned something about owls, however.
Mr.. Lord relates how he once saw fully
fifty crows after a great horned owl.
They made II so hot for him that he drop

dart about him The owl merely hunched
himself up into a defensive position and
lea them play their game. He kept so
still that they became holder and finally
one came near. Like a fash that ''irre-
sistible right shot out and fastened on
Mr.. Crow. There was one doeful squawk
and il was all over. The owl then DELHI
erately pulled the dead crow apart and
ate 1t before che screeching flock that was
watching him. 1t is safe to say that they
did not come near enough to bother him
after that.
Right here II might be well TO state a
little something about the manner in
which an owl strikes its prey. IL you
ever noticed when owls pounce down. on
their victims they usually stretch their
legs out in front of them. They strike in
with their sharp claws, throwing their
bodies forward and literally sitting down
on the unfortunate object upon which
they have fastened. This gives them a
leverage and locks the sharp claws to-
gether in the flesh of che victim so firmly
that IL is impossible for them to let go
again until they have Strengthened out
claws through any flesh they pouncs

Provisions for the Animals Old Age

From the Boston Globe.
A few years ago the Flagg brothers of

Then Mark Remission bought him and

OWLS ARE NOT AMIABLE BIRDS.
Those UnacGuninted with Their
Temper should Keep at Dis

From the Portland (Me) Express
They say all sorts Of mean things about
owls. If a man hasn't much respect for
your gray matter or intelligence in gem
eral he will say your are as stupid as an
owl. on the other hand, If you are bril-

down to the subject. an owl is not by
any manner Of means the stupid bird

John A. Lord, a taxidermist OF this city,
relates a story about how he had once
gone out to look at some traps he had set
for rabbits. When he reached the traps
he found that "A rabbit had been caught,
but something had carried II off and left
no trace Of its identity behind It. That

number Of students who would ma
circulate at the medical colleges. But
this is not true, for the number, in
stead Of diminishing, is steadily in
2reasing, and the students of today
are better qualified to take up this
most important calling than ever be-
fore. The idea was, and is, to protect
The public from incompetent and dis
honest practitioners.
THE competent medical man needs
no laws for his protection; if he is
competent, that in itself is his protec-
ton and the greater the number of
incompetent competitors, and the more
incompetent they are, the greater will
be the contrast between himself and
them, and the larger will be the fees
he can command. There is very little
doubt that medical laws, by raising the
standard OF medicine, have increased
the competition between equally quail.
fed men and have reduced the size OF
medical fees. That medical laws entail
hardships to quacks and incompetents
Of all sorts is true, and that they pro
tect the public by so doing is also
true: but they do not increase
the fees of medical men, and they
never will. 1t may be said without
fear OF successful contradiction that
medical laws are made for the sole
purpose OF benehting the public and
protecting it against quacks and char
latans. and that is the only just reason
why such laws should be on the statute
books.

be an assistant district attorney in
charge OF this subject, and prosecu-
tons would then become gradually
recognized as really in the interest of
the public and not in the interest of
doctors.
The great body of physicians OF
this country have one object always in
view, which carries with it the effort
10 protect the public, and that is the
elevation of the profession.
One Of the objections made to the
raising of the standard of medicine is
that the whole thing savors Of trade
unionism, and that medical men al
ready possessing the right to practice
desire to exclude competitors, the adj
yocates of this plea believing that more
rigid requirements would lessen the
