The Eagle Got the ri.h.

At this junction of the thoroughfare
and Island lake on dead pine more
than 100 feet high sat white headed
eagle. In the air large fishhawk was
sailing over the water looking for his
dinner 200 or 800 feet below him.
What penetrating orbs of vision ma
ture has endowed this bird with!
There, he gives his Hghtninglike shot

only to reappear with a four pound
pike in his talons. Slowly he rises,
going toward the woods, where he
hopes to enjoy his well earned meal,
but he has reckoned without his host.

terrible claws of the now enraged
eagle. he drops the prize and slowly
flies to the other end of the lake.
F There is no need for haste now, as
the master was after tribute, not the
hawk. Payment having been made by
relinquishing valuable property, the
eagle once more displays his wonderful
activity by catching the pike before it

later stylishly dressed woman was
charged with a similar offense. AS

Under Wafer.

Strange acquaintance are to be

marsh, who for a time adopted the
calling of pearl fisher in Australian
waters, tells this story of meeting a
submarine monster:

thing in consequence looked blurred
and exaggerated. In the yellow distance

slowly toward me. AS it came nearer

more than fellow diver. The feelers

lines.
"a shadowy giant about IL feet
high, with huge hands and a head like
a small barrel, was approaching. He
walked slowly, his heavy boots raising
the mud behind him like a cloud of
dust, and his great central eye cleaned
darkly. Although l knew him to be a
man, 1t was with difficulty that re-

Mistake. In Christening.


At Ramsbury Manor, England, there
once resided poulterer's family of the
name Of Duck. The third son was to
be christened, and the mother wanted
the name to be William. Just before
starting for church the nurse ran up
stairs to the father, who was laid up
with govt, to tell him they were of.
What be going to call I'm, nurse? r
"Missus says It's to be William" was
the reply. civilian be blowedr' said
The invalid. Call un plain Billw In
accordance with these laconic instruc-
lions the nurse gave the name of Plain
bill to the clergyman, and the infant
was christened accordingly.
In an even funnier way is the queer
Christian name of Mr.. Ono Tichiner Of
Peckham accounted for. When his
parents and sponsors arrived at the
church, his name had not been settled
upon, and whea the clergyman said,
Name this child" one of the friends
said John" and another said "Oh,
nor meaning not John, and, as no one
else spoke, the clergyman thought that
was to be his name and baptized him
Ono The full account of the baptism
is contained in Blanck's History OF
Camberwell."
A clergyman's son vouches for the
following: "My father was baptizing q
boy of years of age. The names Civ.
en- were Benjamin Joseph. After the
ceremony he said to the boy, You have

the Door Remained Open After q
Very FOrcible Argument.
An old story is told of Joseph Robi-
doux. the founder of St Joseph, that
had its origin in Holt county in the
early settlement of that section. The
trader who started the city was re-
turning to st. Joseph with a number of
red men. and they stopped with an ac-
quaintance of Robidoux's close to
the house, and Robidoux went in to re-
main overnight as the guest of his
friend.
The settler closed the front door aft
er they had retired. and Robidoux, who
was used to sleeping in the open air,
went softly to it and opened it. The
owner of the house waited until Robi-
doux was in bed again. and the settler
closed 1t. That was repeated dozen
times. The next time that door is
closed there will be trouble" said the
man who had founded st. Joseph. He
resumed his couch with that

door. and Robidoux met him as he was
returning to his bed. They clinched
and fought by the light of the moon
that came in through the window. 1t
was hard fight and lasted a long
time, but at last Robidoux had the set
tier on his back and sat astride of him.
He tangled his hands in his hair and
bumped his head against the puncheon
floor. "Open or shutY' he asked. The
settler struggled. but did not say a
word. Els head was bumped many
times. and the question was repeated.
Finally the settler was exhausted.
His head was bumped again, and Ro-
bidoux asked. "Open or shutr

they went to bed with the door stand
