HOW EAGLES FIGHT.
A Furious Battle Between Two OF
the Big Birds.


A small party of gentlemen. most all
of whom had ttnges of sporting procliv-
tiles in their blood, were discussing the
subject of chicken fighting. An old
farmer from Rappahannock county,
Va, broke into the conversation.
Gentlemen" said he, "in my time I
have seen some bang up chicken fights,
but the greatest fight ever saw be-
tween birds In all my born days was a
contest between a bald eagle and a
gray eagle near my old place in Kappa
hammock.
This fight took place on the bank Of
the river. couldn't forget it If lived
to be as old as Methuselah. was the
only spectator and saw the struggle
from start to finish. The bald eagle
had caught a muskrat and was about
to eat it for breakfast when the gray
eagle. scared down and attempted to
rob the other one of its prey. Then
commenced the combat, and, Lord, how
the feathers flew! They fought with
wings, beaks and talons, and 1 could
hear the talons crack when they struck
and tore each other. The sounds made
by their wings as they buffeted one an
other were like explosions of musketry,
while their screams and yells sounded
demoniacal. The battle lasted fully
fifteen minutes and wound up with a
victory for old badly, who drove the
gray eagle away and then resumed his
interrupted breakfast
"Oh, yes, there are a great many ca
giles up in my part Of the state" said
the old agriculturist In reply to a ques-
ton. There are plenty of high rocks
and lofty trees wherein they build
their nests. We farmers do not give
them any latitude. however. Whenever
one of these big birds is seen soaring
about the poultry yard, or, in fact, any
where about the farm, it's Johnnie, get
your gum because it not infrequently
happens that good sized chickens, young
lambs or little pigs are carried away by
them, so they're very unwelcome visit

Then If the trusts still show fight and

ism as the remedy of last resort
These lawyers, many of them big
corporation attorneys. appreciate, as
most people do not. the grave dangers
resulting from trust domination. They
realize that radical remedies are need
ed. They waste no words on public
ity as a remedy for trusts and do not
mention the so called antitrust laws
passed by the last congress and with
which both President Roosevelt and
Attorney General Knox expressed great
satisfaction.
AS might have been expected, SEN
ator Henderson and other leading Re
publicans opposed the adoption of any
but a very moderate antitrust report.
The Republican will as certainly be the

Chicago, and head of the Christian
Catholic Church In Zion, is the busiest

Plans for the invasion and the cam

have been engaged to transport the
host eastward. These will leave Chi
cago by various trunk lines, and all
are scheduled to arrive in New York
on Friday, Oct 16. Dowie's own train
will be the last to leave Zion City and
the first to reach New York.

magniticently appointed and donated
for the purpose by the Nickel Plate
road, will ride Elijah H." Mrs. Dow

and the immediate staff Of the general
Overseer. This train is to reach New
York at a quarter past o'clock on the
morning of Oct. 16.

installed in this train in charge of a
competent operator. BY this means
Dowie will receive hourly reports from
each Of the other nine trains, giving
its exact location, progress and such
other information as may be deemed
desirable TO the leader of the conquer
ing host. Dowie will be the flying
king, giving his orders en- route to his
followers. Nine of the trains will con-
sist of ten day cars, with sleeping
cars attached.
Specific orders have been given by
Dowie to the entire host that each
member must eat in Madison Square
Garden, where extensive preparations
are being made to take care of the
restorationists. There Will be no Law

in the eating of them, but the food is

YACHT RACING.
This Expensive Sport Was Begun In
England In 1862.


Though vessels answering to the
character of yachts wefe in use by
royal personages from an early date
Queen Elizabeth, for instance, had one
built at Cowes, Isle of Wight, in 1858
the word yacht" was not used until
the year 1860, when the Dutch present

Gle. In Evelyn's Diary, under Oct. 1,
1861, occurs the entry, Il sailed this

scented that curious piece to the king.
being very excellent sailing vessels
Yacht racing commenced in 1862,
when Charles IL, who had some yachts
built for him by Sir Phineas Pett,
wagered $500 that yacht of his would
beat Dutch one owned by his brother,
the Duke of York, afterward James II.
But the growth of yacht sailing was
slow, and it is not until 1920 that an
authentic record of q yacht club IS
found, in which year the Cork Harbor
Water club, now known as the Royal
Cork Yacht club, was formed. In 1912
a similar club, the Yacht club, was
formed at Cowes by some fifty yachts
men. This club in 1920 attracted the
notice of the Duke of Clarence, after
ward William ", when its title was
altered to the Royal Yacht squadron,
Cowes. Fourteen years later William
". presented the first royal cup to this
club. But in 1851 only 500 yachts We're
in existence. Since the international
yacht race of that year the increase in
the number has been immense.
In America, the Chronicle says, 'the
sport may be said to have commenced
in 1914, IN which year the New York
Yacht club was formed and the his

and the adult choir of $50 members and
the junior choir of 200 voices will
unite in the battle hymns of the
church.
While in New York the host will
take part in the early morning meet
ings OF praise and prayer, at which
DR.. Dowie will deliver addresses on the
eleven commandments, taking one each
morning, and four other subjects,
which he will select for the fifteen
days. AS soon as possible after break
fast the companies will form their
seventies and leave Madison Square
Garden for the districts allotted to
them for the days work. At 10 o'clock
every morning the general overseer
will hold a meeting in Madison Square
Garden, at which the host will not be
present. At these meetings Dowie
hopes to give divine healing teaching
and to spend much time with the Ill
and suffering. The members of the
host will be expected to return to
Madison Square Garden for their la
bors at p. IN. A hot dinner of three
or four courses will be served at 3
p. m. This will give ample time to get
ready for the evening meeting. There
are to be no afternoon meetings.
There will be street meetings in vari
GUS parts of the city. These meetings
will not be so demonStrative as those
held by the Salvation Army, but will
be similar to them in that there will
be speaking, praying and singing of
hymns
The bulk of the work mapped out,
however, will consist of visitations,
members of the host going to business
and private houses and leaving tracts
issued under the direction of Or"
Dowie. These tracts relate to the
tenets of the church. to the principles
of divine healing promulgated by the
head of the church and the cures said
to have been effected thereby. 1t is
contemplated that not a house in all
New York shall escape, and Dowie has
figured out that every one can be
reached, with plenty Of time to spare
for the big meetings. He calculates
that each visiting delegate can ring
the bells and leave documents at 800
houses each day.
The purpose of the New York inva-
sion is to establish the eastern branch
Of his church more firmly.

The greatest work of antiquity on
angling is said to be the "Halieutica' OF
Orphan, Greek poet who hourished in
the time of Severus, A. d. 1913. from
which we learn that many articles in
fishing thought to be modern were
known to ancients. We also learn
from Atheneus that several other writ

fishing some centuries before the Chris
