A 10 Pound Eagle Carried on "A III.

Ten or twenty years ago there was
a popular ballad which had for its bur
den, When the Pigs Begin to Fly
east of the town.
w. II. Hutchens of that village was
out squirrel hunting and 10 his dismay
he heard the squeal of pig overhead.
Being trained hunter HutcheDs
dropped under cover Of friendly bush
and waited developments. His dismay
was not lessened when he beheld, as
he thought, pig flying for Clay coun-
ty with the biggest wings he ever saw
in his life To let so both barrels was
the next thing, and then the explana-
tion was easy. An eagle had stolen a
pig and was making off with It, The
shot killed the bird instantly, as II did
not even flop its wings once, so Hutch
ems says. The pig was the first 10 hit
the ground, screaming every inch of
the way until he struck the earth.
Then came the bird Hutchens is
cripple, using a four-foot crutch. He
guessed the spread of the wings to be
six feet. The pig weighed forty-two
pounds and had been carried half a
mile The owner saw the theft but
could not get to his gun quickly
enough. 1t is little short of extraor-
dinary that load of squirrel shot
would kill an eagle. The charge went
into the birds throat.
Although the spread was all Hutch
ems estimated the body of the bird
was small. 1t was about the size of
a ten-pound turkey with the feathers
on. It's talon points are sharp as lam

How old scroyr. ont emokIng.

In one of the large arm chGirs in
the corridor of a prominent Broadway
hotel sat feeble old man. The fit
and texture of his clothing betokened
that he was at least well TO do, if not
wealthy.
In strange contrast there sat in the
chair adjoining a boorish looking
young fellow. His clothing was of a
ready made variety. Although he
wore a big gold looking watchchain.
and an elaborate pin in his tie he
seemed a little out of place in such
luxurious surroundings.
He was smoking a large, fat cigar.
He was smoking it vigorously. too.
With each exhalation he took pains
to turn his head a little, so as 10 puff
the smoke directly into the face of his
elderly neighbor The old man bore 1t
in silence.
Indignant comments were made on
the young mans conduct by the vari-
Gus groups scattered through the corri
dor. but no one seemed 70 think it MS
place to interfere.
At last, however, one man walked up
to the desk and demonstrated TO the
clerk.
See here" he said. there's great
boor Of young fellow over there who
persists in blwing his tobacco smoke
into a feeble old mans face"
"That so?" said the clerk, auarent-
ly not in the least excited.
It's an outrage; it ought to be
stopped" continued the indignant pa
tron, apparently made more indignant
by the calmness with which his COM
plant was received.
"Oh, | don't know" replied the
clerk; that's what he's paid for
What do you nean?"
"Why that's old Scroggs, the mil
lionaire. His doctor told him he had
TO quit smoking and he did. But ever
since he has hired that young fellow
to go around with him, and all The
young fellow has to do all day long is
TO smoke the best cigars and keep
