AN EAGLE on his lofty perch on Lib
erty mountain saw sparrow on an Is
land below sorely beset bya cruel hawk
The little bird was plucked and bleed
ing in the claws of the merciless foe.
Suddenly the eagle emitted a cry OF an
ger and warning, and screamed, THE
sparrow Is and Of right ought to be free
and independent" And he notified the
hawk that II he did not at once release
his prey and quit the island he would
forthwith eject him with beak and talon.
At the same time the chiyalric eagle
proclaimed to all the birds Of the air
and the beasts OF the field that his only
purpose in interfering was the salvation
of the sparrow, and that as soon as the
piratcal hawk was driven off forever
he would leave the government and
control OF the island to It's native birds.
After short but sharp fight the hawk
was whipped into the semblence of a
pigeon, and defeathered and crestfallen
took his departure for his own land,
Did the eagle then keep his promise
Or did he say to the sparrow; "You
must permit me to boss your nest build
ing TO say what company you shall
keep-and give me permanent roost.
ing place in your tree; in short, you are
to be free only to the length Of my lead
ing stringsl" 1t remains to be heard
just what the eagle finally said to the
sparrow.-N. Y. World.

A Milwaukee physician who sports
an automobile had singular eXpe-

which he is not likely to forget.
While riding through the village in
his horselcss carriage he met, com

horse and buggy. The horse was
considerably past middle life, as age
is reckoncd in the equine world, and
had probably never before seen an
automobile BE that as it may, as
the machine drew near, the animal

Milwaukee is going to have the OPP
portunity Of introducing the custom
of hiring pallbearers. There are many
residents of the city who have served
MS such in European countries. They
have been organized and drilled, and
are ready for service. Their uniform
Is black, with knee breeches, belted
blouse coats with wide, white ruilles
at the neck and wrist, and military
hat, relieved with little white. II Is
said that these are the first uniformed
pallbeOrers in this country. They Ore
incorporated, and the undertakers are
willing to employ them If the people
will accept them.

A Cleaning Tn.

Last week Rose Kaufman was brought
into police court and tried on the charge
of keeping disorderly house, This is
the woman who had a fight and was
quite severely cut in the arm by Mrs,
Ely some two or three years ago. She
is married woman and had two girls
with her who were arrested and tried
at the same time. The officers were
able to secure evidence enough to make
a strong case and they we're all found
guilty. The police Judge fined the
Kaufman woman SIS, and costs and the
inmates si5.o each. After the trial one
of the girls told the Judge that Mrs
Kaufman made her what she was
That she had come to visit Mrs. Kauf.
man three years ago then being quite
young and she had compelled her to
this course, The police claim they have
caused between twenty and twenty-five
women of questionable character to
leave town during the last thirty days,
Some of these have been tried and fined
usually from slo to SIS. and. some have
fled from the wrath in store. The diff.
ference between this policy and the old
is that now these women are tried and
fined severely as often as evidence can
be secured. Under the old policy they
were usually fined more lightly and only
periodically, the fine being collected
without appearance in the court which
amounted to a licensing.

TRAIN WRECKED.
A Serious Wreck on the Sea board Air
Line Railroad.

Line Railroad.
Quite serious wreck, as far as Injury TO
the train crew was concerned, happened on
the S. A. l.. Sunday morning week ago. A
freight train consisting of an engine, nine
box cars loaded with peaches, and one OF
left Atlanta about nine O'Clock Sunday morn.
Ing for quick run through to the east. All
went we'll till the train got about twenty five
miles this side OF Atlanta when the little
"dinkey'' caboose jumped the track, while
the train was moving at speed Of forty miles
cross ties for awhile broke loose from the rest
of the train, turned over and finally landed
On top OF the track at right angels with the
rails.
Inside the cab was Brakeman Henry Cheek,
who got his head mashed In and injured In
Ia, doing very well when last heard from.
Flagman McMumey, who got his arm brok en-
in three places, is also in Atlanta. Conductor
VIII Harris, who got his ankle very much
hurt, his back wrenched. and IL afraid IL in
jured internally. He Is here In Abbeville al
his home on Hickory Heights.
All three of these gentlemen are white men
and citizens of Abbeville. Engineer Pink
ston was at the throttle.
No blame Is attached TO any one Of the
train crew: The little "dinkey" caboose was
law against the railroads using such light ca
booses, and 1t should be vigorously enforced.
This is the fifth time that this same little ca
boose has cut up such didoes, but never before
with such serious results. The conductor.
notwithstanding his Injured condition, had
the wreackage cleared off the track himself
and In an hour and half had the track all
right so that trains could pass. Many of the
conductors and train crews refuse to ride In
one Of those little "dinkey" cabOoses, and
they are right In doing SO. w. H. NJ.

THE SPEED OF BIRDS.
1t Ia Not Nearly So Great as Has Been
Generally Assumed.

1T lB NOT NeArly So oES"s 60 ~~>~~
Generally Assumed.
If YOU consult the usually accepted au-
thorities on the speed Of birds In tnelr
flight, you are likely to be misled by an
exaegeration of from 100 to 300 per cent.
This is because figures have been gwen
on hearsay, appearance and very superb
cial observation. But recently American.
English and French observers have peen
comparing notes and are practically
agreed, after most careful Calculation,
on the speed Of the best known birds.
They started with the carrier pigeon
and have made him base of comparl-
son. He has heretofore been credlted
with 10 miles an hour, but it IS now
agreed that he is entitled to so. A quite
recent long distance, carefully conducted
test of 592 miles, from the Shetland IS
lands to London, showed that the most
rapid pigeons made 81 miles an hour.
On shorter distances none made more
than so miles.
Because frigate birds have been seen
far from land and have been supposed
not to fly by night or to rest on the water
they have been credited with speed OF
from $50 to 200 miles an hour. II tney
did fly at that speed, they would nave TO
overcome an atmospheric pressure OF
from 112 to 130 pounds to the square
foot of flying surface. There is no GER
tainty that they fly more rapidly than
passenger pigeon or that they do not fy
at night or do not sleep on the water.
The swallow, that is indeed a rapid
fier, has been credited with $50 miles
an hour, but he must be cut down to 10
miles, and the marten is five miles behind
him, though authorities have placed MIN
ten miles ahead
The teal duck is brought down from
40 to so miles an hour. The mallard IS
five miles slower and flies the same as the
canvasback, while both Of these are hVe
miles an hour ahead Of the wild goose and
elder duck.
The pheasant makes 3S miles an hour
which is three miles ahead Of the prairie
chicken and quail, though the latter ap..
pedrs to fly much faster on account Oh
his temporary burst Of speed that seldom
exceeds 200 feet. The crow flies 20 miles
an hour.
Small birds appear to fly more rapidly
than the large ones and have deceived
many observers. The humming bird does
not fly as fast as. many awkward appear
ing, very much larger, slow Hopping
birds.-Chicago Tmes-Herald.

DOES A BABY PAYf
4 Fathers View of the Entries Made
on the Family Ledger.


Does a 2-ycar-old baby pay for itself up
to the time it reaches that interesting
age? Sometimes 1 think not. L thought
so yesterday when my own baby slipped
into my study and Scrubbed" the carpet
and his best white dress with my bottle
Of ink. He was playing in the coal hod
ten minutes after q clean dress was put
on him, and later in the day he pasted oo
cents worth Of postage stamps on the
parlor wall and poured q dollars worth
of the choicest white rose perfumery out
Of the window ITO see it wain.'
Then he dug out the center of nicely
baked loaf of cake and was found IN the
middle Of the dining room table with the
sugar bowl between his legs and most OF
the contents in his stomach.
He has already cost $1O0 in doctors
bills. and I feel that I am right in attrib-
uting my few gray hairs to the misery 1
endured walking the floor with him at
night during the first year OF his LIE.
What has he ever done to pay me 1or
that?
All! I hear his little feet pattering
along out in the hall. I hear his little
ripple of laughter because he has escaped
from his mother and has found his way
up to my study at forbidden hour. But
the door. Is closed. The worthless little
yacabond can't get in, and l won't open
It for him. No, won't. can't be dis
turbed when I'm writing. He can JUST
cry if he wants to. won't be bothered
for "Rat, tat, tat" 60 his dlmpled
knuckles on the door. I sit in silence.

Wen, guess he does! He has cost me
many anxious days and nights. He has
cost me time and money and care ana
