Correspondence of the Beacon
The moments that swell the ages
have rounded up another twelve
months as beginning of new cen
fury The infant year has been
rocked in the cradle of peace at home
whilst the thunders of war have been
heard abroad. The new born has
had its events for betteror for worse
as it's NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS. fromtime
imtnemorial. It's record is perhaps
somewhat like the average Of human
life not what it might have been.
Human weakness seems on the in
crease as the ages advance. But
this is no time for serious words.
We know that the tidings Of JOY still
linger in the ears of the little ones,
though the great feast day of all days
now belongs to the past. We hope
the little folks have ali enjoyed it to
their hearts content.
We are pleased to state that peace
and order prevailed throughout our
section during the holidays, despite
Masters Tom and Jerry and their
riotous colleagues.
st. Nicholas was well represented
by its members at the early hour of
6 O'Clock on Xmas morn. The Rev.
FatherN Fullerton made some very
appropriate remarks for thececasion
clearly defining the words of the
good book Peace on earth to men Of
good will" From thence we made
bee line for Cedar Point where a
thirty pound turkey all dressed up
to date awaited our reserved appe-
tites. For the time being 'gurrels
were not in it, aud when we got
through Uncle Sandy said that dat
turkey had Alright 70 look ikea house
wild de weatherbordin all torn of it.
Wishing Mr.. Beacon and ali the
little folks and big folks especially
of dear old st. Mary's county pros
porous and happy New Year.

CAT FOUGHT EAGLE
Saved from Birds Talons by Train

The vicinity of Susquehanna, Pa.
must be great place for wild animals
of all sorts, or it is the headquarters
of one of the most accomplished news
paper liars of our time. To the Chi
cago Inter Ocean this individual writes
that Engineer Gardner has big black
cat, named Bob, which is his constant
companion on his engine. Winter finds
the eat snuggled up upon the cushions
of the cab. and the running board is
his airing quarters Bob is prime
favorite with the men all along the
division.
For a week big American eagle has
been seen in the bend OF the road near
the state line, and the trainmen have
tried firing shots at him, without
bringing him down. When Bob has
been taking his airing upon the rum
ming board the big eagle has eyed him
narrowly and greeted him with fierce
screams and Tapping of his wings
AS the day express was dashing
around the curve on Sunday morning.
Bob was on the running board, enjoy
ing the sunlight. Quick as a fash the
eagle dashed downward from a big
hemlock and seized the cat, when q
terrific battle ensued.
Bob retreated to the pilot and put
up gallant defense with teeth and
nails, and for three minutes honors
were easy, but the bird got neck hold
on the cat, and in moment more
would have been in the air but for the
0pportune arrival of the fireman, who,
armed with an iron bar, attacked the
eagle, which dropped the cat and tried
to defend itself against the man.
The birds second battle was brief,
for two blows from the iron placed it
