An OWIish BeIIiuerent.

Last year pair of large brown owls
had a nest in wood, close down to
the shore on Milford Haven, with a
road passing through it. On several
occasions the cock bird violently at
ttacied dogs passing through the wood.
This year the male bird has has not
only attacked dogs, but has several
times flown down most viciously in
daylight at people walking along the
,oad. He tore a boys ear, and his
last performance was to knock man
down with the suddenness of his swoop
and injure his face so badly that it is
feared he will lose his eye. The bird
has since been shot

Adventure With Rattlesrakcs.

Fred Harris, an express messenger
IN the Illinois Central, had an expe-
rience which he does not care to re-
peat. He was on train No. %. and just
after leaving Centralia, ILL.,, settled
back into his chair and dropped into a
doze. He was awakened shortly by a
tickling under his chin, and drowsily
opened his eyes to discovered the coils
of an enormous snake lying across his
breast, its restless head waving under
his chin. 1t is hardly necessary to
state that Mr.. Harris made all former
records for instantaneous and lightning
moves in that car look like six counter
felt nickels. He also awoke to the fact
that while one snake is bad, several are
worse IN a geometrical proportion. and
he was soon on a pile of baggage sur
veying den of rattlesnakes. The rep
tiles were consignment from Tampa,
Ela., to Chicago, and had made their
escape while Mr.. Harris slept.

Bertha-"I borrowed Mamie's engage

finger of my left hand when Fred
called last evening"

Bertha-"He saw it the moment he

he'd go through the floor. Finally he
mustered up courage to ask if it was an
engagement ring, and l said Yes
That was no lie, you know. 1t was an

The Six O'Clock Dinner.

The 6 o'clock dinner is not a mere
fad: anyway, not extremely mere.
The 6 o'clock dinner oblterates the
appetite for breakfast. But for the 6
O'Clock dinner there would probably be
but meagre demand for breakfast
foods, and that which is now great
industry, employing many hands and
advertising literally, would hardly ex-
ist.
The 6 o'clock dinner kills man SOON
er or later; usually not until after he
has amassed fortune, yet before he
has had time to queer his wife and
daughters socially with his chin whisk-
ers and bad grammar.
The o'clock dinner keeps one awake
nights, thus nearly doubling the num-
Der of his business hours.-Puck.

voices. The more superstitious were

daylight the sounds had grown fainter.
The crew concluded that men We're i'm

1t was pitch dark, and the interior of

concluding that he had reached the
cabin, he rose, and in an instant his
head was above water. Yet so foul

could see no one, but he heard the

"At dusk we camped for the night,

time during the night he left camp. As
soon as we discovere that he had gone
we made every effort to find him, but
could not do much until daylight, when
We found his tracks in the sand.
I'VE followed the tracks all that day

we lost the trail, and try as we might
We could not find it again.
