OWL TERRoRIzEs A CAMP.
Knocks Down and Frightens Mon, and
Severely Injuries One.

u IL,
Severely Injuries One.
Mr.. Walter Butchart, clerk for a
logging company in its camp far out
on the Iron Range road, Minnesota,
tells strange story of the conduct
OF an owl.
Il arrived at the camp late one
evening" said he, "and as l entered
the door of the sleeping shanty met
another man coming out He had
scarcely gone ten feet. when heard
sound as of some object striking
heavily with a thud like a sack of
grain falling on the floor 1t was ac-
companied by scream, and in an in
slant the man who had passed me at
the door rushed into the camp with
blood flowing down his face and from
the back of his hands He was so
hlled with terror that all he could
say was that something came at him
through the darkness-some great
bird, he thought The next night
went outside the sleeping shanty when
l was suddenly knocked down. When
l recovered my cap was missing and
1 never saw it afterward The mys-
terious assaults began to look serious,
and after this the men did not go out
after dark if they could avoid it.
Some thought the bird must be an
eagle. Nobody suspected the truth,
but the mystery was soon solved. AL
bert Newman started out with a Ian
tern. He had not gone twenty feet
before he was knocked fiat. He came
screaming into the shanty with huge
owl on his breast, the bird striking
savagely at his face with its strong
beak. The bird had sunk its talons
into Newman's nackinaw coat and
was unable to let go. 1t was fighting
to free itself and at the same time
administering severe punishment on
the man. We killed the owl He
measured four feet six and a halt
inches from tip to tip. Newman was
SO severely torn on both sides of his
face that we had to hustle him off
to doctor. He will always carry the
scars of that singular assault We
have never been able to explain the
conduct of this owl. Some of the boys
thought 1t must have been hungry.

A Ten-rhousand-pollar Joke.

A witty remark does not always re-
suit SO satisfactorily to the perpctrator
as in the case OF the young curate who
obtained valuable living in the west
of England by means of pun. The
rector who held the living had died
and there were many applicants for the
place. which was worth ten thousand
dollars a year. The living was in tho
gift Of an earl. who was surprised at
the funeral by the manifestations of
grief by the assembled rector5 and cur
ates. So he said to the young curate,
who had been acting as the tutor of
his son: Naturally they should feel /,
proper amount OF grief. but l cannot
understand why they should weep so
frenziedly for the dead" The young
man instantly replied: You are mis-
taken. my lord; 1t is not for the dead
they weep; 1t is for the living" There
upon the earl was so pleased with the
keenness Of the remark that he pre-
seRtsd the living to the curate.

CLEARING THE WAY.

The denouncing by the Nicaragua
government of the canal treaty act
OF 1898 is not an unfriendly act. The
formal expression of a desire for q
conclusion OF that convention wells no
hostility to the United States. The ac-
ton OF the Nicaragua government pre-
cipitates no new complications. offers
no excuse for delay on the part Of
congress. and indicates no opposition
to the immediate construction OF the
Nicaragua canal by the United States.
The treaty between the United
States and Nicaragua negotiated In
1867 and ratified June 20. 1868. granted
to the United States the right OF tran
sit between the Atlantic and Pacific
oceans through the territory OF Mica
ragua. A canal constructed on any
route decided upon was to be used
upon equal terms by both republics.
Nicaragua, however. reserving its
right of sovereignty over the canal.
The United States. under the treaty,
was to extend protection to the canal.

po,t-Graduate. in mendacity.

In an English paper there appeared
recently the veracious story of two
brothers who lived in the Rocky noun
tains. They had two rifles, one bullet,
and a keg of powder. With this outfit
they managed to kill on an average 81
head OF buffalo day. The way they
managed was this: Brother No. would
stand on one side of buffalo and
shoot through 1t, the bullet going into
the barrel of the rifle of Brother No 9
who stood on the other side. Then
Brother No. would fire through the
next buffalo into the rifle of Brother
No. l. and so on until the days sport
was over. Some one who saw this story
has written to say that he is acquaint-
ed with a man, cousin. he thinks, OF
the two mentioned, who also lived in
the Rocky mountains at one time. He
had one rifle. one bullet. and keg OF
powder, yet he managed to kill 80 head
of buffalo day-buffaloes were plenty
then-and the way he did it was this:
He was not only a champion shot. but
champion runner. and when he fired
through buffalo he would run around
and catch the bullet again to reload
with. and so on until he exhausted his
powder.

the community across the bay as they

AUTO SUGGESTIONS.
CASE OF cATALEPsY COMBINED
with DOUBLE SIGHT,"
Paris Academic de Medicine Has It's
Attention Directed to Curious MANI
feststions. by Girl Subject to Fits
Power of Imagination.

Professor Lancereaux has Just
brought before the Paris Academic de
Medecir curious case of catalepsy,
combined with manifestations of "dou-
BILE sight" or telepathy. A young girl
of IA, a patient Of DR.. Fournier of
Angouleme, suddenly fell into regu-
lar cataleptic fits. Her members be-
came rigid, breathing and heart beats
were almost imperceptible, and there
was complete insensibility to pain.
Nothing very extraordinary in all this;
the strangeness of the affair was that
the fits came ON at irregular intervals,
lasting from a few hours to several
days. and yet had no apparent i'll eff
feet on the childs health. Yet more
singular, the seizures appeared to be
in some way associated with a young
married woman, a neighbor, and great
friend of the girl. When this woman
visited the house the child, though in
cataleptic condition, got up and tried
to follow her out into the street. An
other time the girl was in back
room, the friend passed the house, and
at once catalepsy supervened. Then
the doctor put some coins into his
hand, closed it and held it over the
rigid girl. What have 1 got in my
hand?" Over and over again the an
swers were perfectly accurate. The
young married woman left the town
on short visit, and her little friend
showed no untoward symptoms. Sud-
denly some one said in her presence,
Mrs. - has returned" and the girl
instantly fell into a cataleptic state.
DR.. Fournier seems to have thought
that the case was one of telepathic
communication or auto-suggestion, so
he hypnotiZed the girl and ordered
her to cease believing that Mime. -
had any influence over her. The COM
mand was well impressed upon the
patient, who was then awakened
Since then there has been no return
of catalepsy. Professor Lancereaux
declined to believe in double sight"
or divination; he thought, however,
that the case was really one of auto
suggestion. He inclined to think that
the girl imagined her friend had spe-
cial influence on her. and thence fol-
lowed the curious symptoms. AS re-
CARDS the doctors experiments with
coins, his explanation is that the doc
tor thought of the coins and conveyed
his Thoughts to the cataleptic girl.
This, of course, is telepathy or thought
reading. AS II this declaration from
the learned professor was not sufi-
ciently startling, he went on to give
particulars of a similar case which
came under his own personal observa-
tion. A young married woman was
attacked with intermittent fever,
which was not only rebellious. to
quinine, but abnormal as to recurrence
and duration The young. woman at
last. confessed that the attacks only
came on when her mother-in-law was
in the house. Il feel her coming even
when far off," Investigation seemed
to confirm the truth of this singular
statement, the case thus finding it's
parallel in the incident related above.

up before the court and the Jury
Monday morning. The case is
whether the city authorities are
liable for action such as the above
on account of permitting such a
menace to life and limb to exist.
The area way extends out on the
sidewalk nearly on line with
the stoop and is unprotected by
railing. The city electric lights
were out at the time making it
doubly dangerous. Mr.. Miller
was seriously injured and will be
a cripple for life.
The verdict of the jury in the
case of Miller VS.. Corporation was

the case from the jury for certain
reasons. After deliberation the
