The first anniversary Of the opening
of the Norfolk Auditorium was cele.
brated last night by the presentation OF
one OF the finest attractions ever given
in the city. The Charles b Hanford
company, with Mr.. Hanford in the
leading role, gave Lee Arthur's Private

life in the far south, with character,
drawn from real people and, while /,
discloses much character that is worthy
Of emulation, the author could evidently
not resist an opportunity to caricaturt
some weaknesses. One Of the more
noticeable Of these was when Judge

bringing in 5000 democratic votes from
u precinct containing but 600 inhabitants
and politely told the young man tn,
votes were there and to count them TO
himself if he didn't believe it. Mr.
Hartford gave a realistic portrayal of hi
part as an honest, hospitable countr,
gentleman, ready to sacrifice everythin,
for friends and family. but whose hatred
of anything rascally or deceitful was in
tense. His calm demeanor in smoking
n pipe while a mob was bowling at hi
door ELECTED especial admiration. Thu

Hanford received very commendabl,
support from other members of tn,

RABBIT AND EAGLE.

noteworthy Instance Of Animal
Pluck and Shrewdness.
From the Youths Companion
While riding up some steep bluffs on the
plains Of Colorado near the foothills OF the
Rocky mountains, one day a few years
ago, my attention was attracted by the
unusual behavior Of a golden eagle, which
suddenly pounced down from the sky and
disappeared. Almost Immediately it re-
appeared, only to swoop downward and
vanish as before.
Squirting my horse to the top of the bluff
saw before me level table land, several
hundred yards in extent, f1anked upon its
farther side by deep and tortuous ravine.
The table land was entirely devoid OF veg
citation or cover of any sort: not so much
as clump of cactus or a bunch of soap
weed relieved the monotony of its level.
About fifty yards away toward the
vine lay an object, almost the color of the
prairie itself, which at first L thought was
stone. but which on a second look / dis
covered to be a Jack rabbit. He was squat
ting down, his long ears folded back along
his body, motionless. The mystery Of the
eagles queer movements was revealed-it
intended to dine on rabbit meat.
My horse had hardly come to a stop
when the eagle, apparently oblivious of my
presence, swooped fiercely down upon it's
prey. The rabbit passvely awaited the
onslaught. Straight as a falling shell the
great bird pounced down. 1t was almost
on the rabbit and seemed to seize him,
when suddenly the long ears unfolded and
streak of gray flashed upward through
the air. 1t was tremendous leap-five
feet at the very least-and so correctly
timed that the huge bulk of the eagle
swept on beneath him, and he dropped
back unharmed. The rabbit instantly
darted at full speed toward the ravine. He
ran twenty-five or thirty yards before the
eagle was able to turn and renew his at
tack
The rabbit was apparently watching
every move Of his enemy, for at the very
instant the eagle made toward him he
stopped, and, squatting down as before,
again awaited the foe.
AS the eagle swept downward for the
second time l that it would pass far
enough above the rabbit to seize him
should he attempt to leap forward, be-
fore. But the rabbit instantly OWNED the
eagles purpose, and this time merely fiat
tening himself against the earth, the bird
passed above him; again the rabbit darted
toward the rayine, and again. at the
proper moment, stopped to await the on
slaught
Time after time this was repeated, al
ways with the result that the rabbit kept
unharmed, and gradually approached the
ravine. At last, with one final dash he
sprung over the precipitous side of the ra-
vine and disappeared.
The great bird, baked of it's prey hung
over the ravine for a moment
and then circled maiestically skyward
The contest had lasted for nearly half
an hour. During that time had the rabbit
once yielded to panic, or had he in one in
stance failed to foresee the eagles method
of attack, he would have paid the penalty
with his life
