Ing man-indeed. lie was a clergyman
Happened to me at a little lake i'm Wis
eonsin. where ! used TO summer with
my family. enc day my wife was out
in our boat with a party of friends.
Sine was letting Der hand trail in the
water. without thinking about its
shrinking effect, and when she finally
.uok her hand i'm her wedding ring was
.:.nc The lake was deep ut that point,
II although we made considerable
EFFORT to recover the ring it was not
found.
NATURALLY it worried her 4 good deal.
and the next year she would not go
back to the same place, nor did we
20 the following year, but the third
year we went there again, and one day
i was I'm the woods about a mile from
the lake with my boy, trying to get
shot at some denizen of the forest or
other. AS we went peeriDg around
among the trees to get Il squirrel we
had seen l noticed something shining
on n twig Of tree about p feet from
the ground. l sent my boy up after it,
and when he came back l was more
than astonished to find that the shining
thing was my wife's wedding ring.
How it ever got there was a mys-
terry at first, but / was not Il believer in
fairies and that sort Of thing, so | be-
gan to investigate for material causes.
The top of the tree had deadened, and
with n suspicion in my mind sent my
boy up to see what signs might be
above the green bOughs. He called
down to me presently that there were
remains of Il fishbawk's nest in the
forks of the tree, and, putting this
and that together, | came to the conclu-
sion that the hawk had caught the fish
that had gobbled up my wife's ring in
the lake and had taken it to the nest
for the young hawks. They didn't
care for jewelry and had left that
part of the fish in the nest. from which,
as the nest was blown to pieces by the
wind and beaten by the storms, the
ring had dropped out and by chance
had caught on the twig where l found
it. In any event, If that was not the
way it got there. how did it? For II

ExHoRsIrANr DOCTORS FEES.

The doctors who officially report that they don't know
what killed President McKinley-upon which the Eagle
expressed some views two three days since at least
seem to have an idea on which side their bread is buttered
The story comes from Washington that Congress will be
asked to appropriate lump 100000 for the ser
vices Of these physicians, surgeons and experts This
news seems incredible. No such sum OF money was
earned or is due division Of hundred thousand
dollars would give to each of these doctors about $5OOo
or two thousand dollars per day each for the time they were
employed with the case Such fees would not be demand
ed any man however rich and important as an individual
surely not Of him had survived with strength enough
to settle his own bill These probably do not realize
any such sum of a whole years practice. Why should
they be permitted to take advantage as it evil
