Fighting Owls.

Owls have a habit of dealing with
game they have killed that leads some
observers to think that, like dogs.
they prefer fowls that have not been
too recently slain. One of the birds
VIII often leave chicken or rabbit
for day or two before eating it.
An old trapper says he has often had
muskrat traps robbed by owls, only
a part of the rat being eaten.
When he finds a trap SO disturbed
the trapper leaves the rat where it lies
and sets another trap beside it. In
all probability the bird will return the
second night, in which case it will
be more than likely to be in the trap
when the owner comes next morning.
An owl in trap will offer to fight.
and if it gets chance, will peck at
Its captor or his dog numerically.
A farmer who caught one of the
birds by setting trap alongside of a
chicken that had been killed, injudi.
ciously reached out to catch it by the
feet. The free foot executed a move.
ment that was entirely beyond the
farmers comprehension, and the next
minute the latter found his wrist
gripped in a set of claws to which the
trap was as nothing. He was Obliged
to kill the bird, and then found that
the claws had penetrated to the bone.

Zone of the curious spectacles OF the
Sulu archipelago, in the Philippine
islands, is the grave where the first
Sultan of the islands lies buried" said
H. F. Hopkins, a discharged soldier
on his way to Peoria.
st lies at the top of steep noun
tain about five miles outside the little
walled city of Jolo, the capital of the
Mohammedan people in the Philip
pines. The mountain is visible for q
great distance. Ships coming into the
remote port catch sight of 1t before
another point of land is visible. It at.
tracts attention because it is one Of
the bald mountains of the Philippines
that is, there Is almost no growth on
it. 1t looks like shaver lawn in the
distance, though, as a matter of fact,
there is grass of many years growth
upon its slopes, so thick and high that
a man can with difficulty make a way
through it. On the crest there is one
little tuft of trees. They look like
bushes at distance, though one with
an experienced eye makes allowances.
I once formed one of a detail that set
out to reach that mountain top. We
had no reason to make the trip other
than that it looked attractive and hard
to attain. It was half q days trip up
the steep slopes, and when we reached
the top we. found a small grove, with
a solitary grave in the shadow of the
trees. It was surrounded by little
line Of rocks. and there were quite
fresh pieces Of white cloth hung in a
horizontal position above the mound.
These were kept in place by tying
them to tree trunks near by. Natives
had seen us laboring to our high po-
sition, and had followed to see that we
did not desecrate the grave.
From those we learned that 1t was
the grave of the first Sultan of the
Sulus, and that the cloth had been re-
newed regularly since he had been
laid there, as a preventative against
evil spirits. We learned later that
there is scarcely a mountain in the
archipelago that does not have it's
grave. st. Louis Globe

There Is q real and genuine asset to be

It seems to us that these opinions

lend sort OF eredulity to a CURIOUS
theory which at least few people have

A Missouri Ministers Theory.

a sermon by Rev. A. D. Madeira.D. D.
Of Independence. says the Kansas City
Journal. He chose for his text Revela.
ton XXI. 80: HE that sat upon the
throne said. Behold, will make al
things new 1.-THE Rev. Mr.. Madeira
contended that man has been deterior-
ating mentally, morally, and physi-
oally, since the creation, and that be
10 now farther from state Of moral
perfection than ever. Human civili-
sation is describing a descending
SCALE" he said. in part. MAN is Just
as wicked today as he was in the days
Of barbarism. He is just as blood
thirsty now as he was then. The
only difference apparent is that now,
in these days Of civilization. he is a
polished assassin instead OF q pro-
Claimed barbarian" He illustrated
his argument that man is deteriorat-
Ing mentally by imploring his hearers
to note the fact that every great man,
from the statesman to the poet, that
the world knows. was a being Of the
past. He compared the morality of
past ages to the present in illustrating
his statement that man Is becoming
moro and more degraded as tho hui
man race lives. I'VE are living in the

said. Man will grow SO wicked that
God will not be able to stand his sim
ming longer and will destroy the

Take care, but don't worry. Being
careful is not the same thing as being
anxious.
Poverty is a sad thing; but there
is no man SO poor as he who Is poor
in his affections and virtues.
Cheerfulness is one of the great fac
tors in promoting health. To make
habitual war on depression and low
spirits, which in youth one is apt to
indulge, is one of the things learned
as he gets older. They are noxious
alike to body and mind, and already
partake of the nature Of death.
Life is noble; If to any it is not so, 1t
is because they make it otherwise. 1t
is an inestimable privilege to live; 1t
is greater still to live we'll. Each one
can start a train Of consequences
for good, that will be as the pebble
cast into the water, which will start
a ripple which will extend to eternity S
shore to bless or TO curse man, to
sweeten or to embitter life.
Undoubtedly the after half Of life Is
the best working time. Beautiful is
youths enthusiasm and grand are its
achievements, but the most solid and
permanent good Is done by the per-
sistent strength and wide experience
of middle life. Contentment rarely
comes till then; not mere resignation.
passive acQuiescence in what cannot
be removed, but active contentment
Character is life. That is the only
abiding fact in this world Of change.
the only permanent fact that remains
to a man when the world Is over. You
may be successful in your work, you
may do much for the increase Of mans
comfort and happiness, you may reach
your ambition, you may achieve rep
utation, but will you also gain that
without which all else sinks into in
