Fought With Eagles.

james Wiltbank, of Black log
Mountain, met with rather a
queer experience the other day.
He was going down a steep part
of the mountain and seeing a large
grape vine caught hold of it to
take a swing out. The vine ran
over the side of tree and then
fastened to the top of a larger
tree below. AS he swung the
vine let loose from the near tree
andconsequentlyW Wiltbank swung
far out, and as steep as the noun
tain was he was above the tops of
trees further down. His hold
gave away and he fell through the
top of tree lighting astrad-
die of the trunk and on top of an
eagles nest. The two large birds
at once attacked him. Hastily
getting out his knife he struck at
them and at the same time was
scrambling down the tree; as he
reached theground the male bird
fastened its talons in his shoulder.
With a great effort he drove his
knife into the breast of the bird
striking Il vital part. It's partner
giving scream flew away. Wilt
bank arrived at Mattawana bleed
ing and clothes torn but brought
with him his capture which he

THAT GOWN OF PINK.

"Oh, wear that gown of pink, said he;
"When see 1t, there seems to come
That drowsy, easy, summer hum
OF bees that lose themselves in sweets,
And, on my vision, there retreats
a fitting bird across the blue;
The summer is part of you,
And, II you wish to well please me-
Oh, wear that gown of pink" " said he.
"Oh, wear that gown OF pink, " said he.
I wore it when sat beside
His couch, and life ebbed like the tide.
| felt his fingers, worn and thin,
Smooth down its folds. There dwelt
within
His feeble mind the memory bright
OF davs of summer, gay and bright.
He knew, though sight grew weak and
dim,
wore that gown of pink for him.
"Oh, wear that gown of pink, said he.
Out of his ashes now there grows
The budding branches of rose.
In fair land where summers long
All days are full of sun and song.
The drowsy hum of bees there stays,
The flying bird goes on its ways,
linger there, and oh, think
He knows | wear that gown of pink.

Some Things to Learn.

Learn to laugh. ARood laugh
is better than medicine. Learn
how to tell a story. A well-told
story is as welcome as sunbeam
in a sick-room. Learn to keep
your own troubles to yourself.
The world is too busy TO care for
your ills and sorrows. Learn to
stop croaking. If you cannot see
any good in the world, keep the
bad to yourself. Learn to hide
your pains and aches under a
pleasant smile. No one cares to
hear whether you have the ear
ache, headache or rheumatism.
Don't cry. Tears do well enough
in novels, but they are out of place
in real life. Learn to meet your
friends with a smile. The good
humored man or woman is always
welcome, but the dyspeptic hy-
pochondriac is not wanted any
where, and is "a nuisance as well.

Grover Cleveland's Advice.

President Grover Cleveland
contributes to this weeks issue
of the Saturday Evening Post the
first magazine article he has writ
ten since he left the White House.
1t is vigorous and remarkably
forceful discussion of the ques-
tion, "Does a College Education
Pay?" and it is of interest not only
to the thousands of young men
who are considering the problem,
but to the tens of thousands of
parents who may have doubts.
Mr.. Cleveland does not Judge sue
cess simply by money making.
"Many college bred man la
bors in the field of usefulness
without either wealth or honors,
and frequently with but scant
recognition of any kind, and yet
achieves successes which unseen
and unknown by the sordid and
cynical, will bloom in the hearts
and minds of men longer than the
prizes of wealth and honors can
endure" he says.
Further on in the article is this:
parents should never send their
sons to college simply for the
purpose of educational ornamen-
tation. The fact that parents
have the fate of son largely in
their keeping should not enlist
their parental love and pride, but
should, at the same time, stimu-
late their parental Judgment.
Furthermore, they should be con-
stantly mindful that they have in
charge not only son, but an un-
completed man who is soon to be-
come their contribution to
the manhood of the world.
They, therefore, owe dual duty,
which demands on the one hand
that the education of the son be
undertaken as help to his sue
cess in life, and on the other that
this education shall promise for
the maturing man the equipment
necessary to insure his value as
an addition to civilized humanity.
Before he leaves home to enter
upon his student life, his sympa-
thy with these purposes should
be fully aroused, and he should
be impressed with the import
ance of keeping them steady in
view. He should also take with
him to his new surroundings a
love of truth and honor, a cheer
full, manly disposition and truly
democratic inclinations. With
these his collegiate advent must
he auspicious, and his future
life well guarded against failure.
Lacking these, his way is made
immensely more difficult and un-
certain" F"

Swallow Gives Up the Fight.

Rev. Dr.. S. G. Swallow, whose
name is being mentioned in CON
nection with the nomination for
President by the Prohibition Ma
nalConvention, at Chicago, said
at Harrisburg on Wednesday
night that ordinarily such nomi-
nation would be considered an
honor second to none, and that to
talk of accepting or rejecting a
nomination not yet rendered him
would not be in good taste. He
added that four years of lifting at
the short end of the lever for bet
ter government in Pennsylvania
had begotten a WEAKNESS that
prompts him to shun rather than
seek the excitement and fatigue
of another campaign, and that
health conditions, business rela-
tions and financial considerations
all prompt him to decline the hon
or if it should be tendored.
