A handsome bald eagle spends two
or three hours every morning catch
ing fish at a place within the city linn
its of Portland. Ore, in plain view of
the passengers on trolley car line.
He perches on an oak tree near the
shore of lake in which carp and cat
fish are plentiful. When his "eagle
eve" espies a fish in the shallow water
near the shore. down he swOOps, and,
seizing the fish in his talOns, flies back
to the tree, where he eats, and then
watches for another victim. The bird
Of freedom has chosen the position

Prof. POteat'S Lecture.

As announced he would do Prof.
w. L. Poteat, of Wake Forest College,
delivered very interesting and in
structive lecture at the Baptist church
Sunday night. He came under the
auspices of the Young Peoples Bible
Glasses Qadies and gentlemen, one
taught by Mr.. L. M. Pittman and
the other by Capt. W. B. Shaw and
spoke on the Book of Genesis. Prof.
Poteat was introduced by DR.. Hufhan'
in his characteristic and always happy
style and opened the way for what
was to follow. 1t would be doing in
Justice to the gifted speaker to at
tempt an outline or synopsis of his
remarks and superfluous to speak OF
his ability or power as speaker. 1t
is enough to say that one had to hear
him to comprehend and appreciate
the character apd scope of the lecture
and competent judges among the
audience pronounced it rare treat
indeed. Certain it is we all went
away with better understanding
and a higher appreciation of Genesis
than we had before, feeling thankful
to Prof. Poteat for coming among us
and giving us so edifying and instruc-
| tive literary feast.

WHEREFORE WE ARE ALL BROKE UP."
Minus Our s.ldeal'' Fountain Pen and
VIII Not BE- Comforted Because 1t
Is Not

The only thing to mar the pleasure
and enjoyment of the editors visit 10
the Pan-American Exposition was the
loss of his fountain pen. II it had
been one Of those cheap so-called
fountain pens, of which there are
various and sundry makes and styles
on the market, it would have been
different. But it was not. 1t was
Waterman Ideal fountain psn-the
best that's made according to our
way of thinking-and the manner in
which we got it and the long and
satisfactory service received from it
had caused us to value it beyond its
intrinsic worth.
Perhaps it is well enough to say
right here that we were not victim
OF pick-pockets or confidence men. but
merely a creature Of misfortune at
the time. How and when the loss
occurred we are fully satisfied, but it
was not detected in time to prevent
our ideal" and highly priced writing
instrument from falling into alien
and perhaps unappreciativc hands.
However, what can't be helped must
be endured, says the philosopher. and
we enjoyed the Exposition and were
glad we went. Still, we cannot help
feeling sense of loss and loneliness
| because of the absence Of our fountain
| pen.
OF course we can get another but
not as good as an Ideal Waterman
unless it is the same make-and we
cannot get that under as favorable
conditions as we did this one per-
haps. If it had been defective in any
way Gf such thing were possible)
we could get another without any
difliculty-the Waterman Fountain
Pen Company would gladly replace
it. But they do not undertake to
make good losses for which they OF
their pens are in no way responsible.
II they did, like the insurance COM
panies proof of loss would be all
that was necessary and we'd be happy
again.

vent the use of the weapon or get
possession of it himself. The room
was pitch dark the light from the

the burglar when he entered. The
presence of Mrs. Newcomb and the
two children in the room and the fact
that the man grappled with him and
prevented his getting the pistol out
OF the case kept Mr.. Newcomb from
shooting his assailant
When Mrs. Newcomb ran out Of the
room the man followed through the
door thus opened 1t was evident
that he had got turned around and
did not know the way ont or else he
did not have time to do so sooner
