SAVED BY AN EAGLE.
Mr.. Buckham Preserves a Dainty
Bit of Indian Folklore.
How Waukewn, kind-Hearted
Child of the Forest, Was Rescued
just in the Nick of Time by
q Noble Bird.

IN the story of ''Waukewa's Eagle"
in ST. Nicholas, James Buckham pre-
serves the legend of an Indian lad who
saved wounded eaglet, and nursed it
back to strength, and found, a year
later, that in doing SO he had cast his
bread upon the waters.
The rifles were full of salmon, big.
lusty fellows, who glided about his
canoe on every side in an endless silver
right and left, and tossed one glittering
victim after another into the bark
canoe. So absorbed in the sport was
he that for once he did not notice when
the head of the rapids was reached and
the canoe began to glide more swiftly
among the rocks. But suddenly he
looked up, caught his paddle and dipped
it wildly in the swirling water. The
canoe swung sidewise, shivered, held its
own against the torrent, and then
slowly, inch by inch, began to creep up
stream toward the shore. But sudden
ly there was a loud, cruel snap, and
the paddle parted in the boys hands,
broken just above the blade! Waukewa
gave cry of despairing agony. Then
he bent to the gunwale of his canoe
and with the shattered blade fought
desperately against the current. But
it was useless. The racing torrent
swept him downward; the hungry falls
roared tauntingly in his ears.
Then the Indian boy knelt calmly
upright in the canoe. facing the mist
of the falls. and folded his arms. His
young face was stern and lofty. He
had lived like brave hitherto-now
he would die like one.
Faster and faster sped the doomed
canoe toward the great cataract. The
black rocks glided away on either side
like phantoms. The roar of the ter
rible waters became like thunder in the
boys ears. But still he gazed calmly
and sternly ahead, facing his fate as a
brave Indian should. At last he began
to chant the death song, which he had

learned from the older braves. in few
moments all would be over. But he
would come before the Great Spirit
with a fearless hymn upon his lips.
Suddenly shadow fell across the
canoe. Waukewa lifted his eyes and
saw a great eagle lowering over, with
dangling legs, and spread of wings
that blotted out the sun. Once more
the eyes of the Indian boy and the eagle
met: and now it was the eagle who was
master!
With glad cry the Indian boy stood
up in his canoe, and the eagle lowered
lower. Now the canoe tossed up on that
great swelling wave that climbs to the
cataract's edge, and the boy lifted his
hands and caught the legs of the eagle
The next moment he looked down, into
the awful gulf of waters from it's very
verge. The canoe was snatched from
beneath him and plunged down the
black wall of the cataract: but he and

A Successful Test.

\ test of coal from the Wilton mine
north of Bismark has been completed,
which indicates that the problem of a
fuel supply for this and adjoining
states is soon to be solved. if IT is not
already. The coal is from the mine
owned by General Washburn and is
situated about forty miles north of
the state capital.
The test was made at the plant of
the Grand Forks Wollen Mills COM
pany. and for five days all the ma
chinery and electric light plant was
operated with fuel from the Wilton
mine. A careful account OF the
amount consumed was kept and a
comparison made with wood, which is
the regular fuel used. The result was
greatly in favor of the coal. During
the five days IA tons were consumed,
which. on u basis of S.. 25 per ton
amounted to 5000, as against ls54
cords of wood per day at So per cord,
valued at $50. 2o. This practical test is
considered very satisfactory by the
parties interested in the matter
1t has also been found that this
quality of coal burns with great salts
faction in CRATES and stoves. Several
tests have been made q private fami-
lies with the result that orders have
been placed for considera BILE quantl-
ty. 1t burns with clear. bright, steady
flame, is almost smokeless and emits
no odor.
A scientific test of it will shortly be
made at the state university.

He was gazing wildly at the magnified

SCARED THE CH1NAMAN.
Little Beetle Greatly MnEnihed By an
Electric Light Caused the
Heather to Run,

An illusion produced by an electric
arc light gave a Chicago Chinaman
tremendous scare at Wabash avenue
and Adams street a few evenings ago.
The celestial. says the Chicago Chron-
icle, was crossing Wabash avenue
from the east side of that thorough
fare. His raiment was of the charac-
teristic petticoated type of the new
arrivals from the orient. With the
awkward, ambling strides of the
tightly-shod Mongolian, he wabbled
