Everybody knows that Tennyson was
n great smoker We notice that one OF
his pipes was presented by the house
keeper at his home at Freshwater to
Mr.. Kelsey OF Yarmouth in 1875. There
is tradition that when the poet had
smoked clay once he put ii on one
side and took a new one. This is scarce
ly borne out by the pipe in question,
which from its color must have been
smoked not once, but many times. 1t

Eagles In the Tennessee Mountains

Eagles In the Tennessee Mountains.
There are many eagles in the Ten
nessee mountains, and consequently
there are many mountaineers who are
expert catchers of the young eagles.
These reap rich rewards In return for
their perilous risks and adventures,
and some OF them receive as much as
$1,000 for a single years catch. The
keen eyed hunters watch the nests I'M
til the young are Matched, and then,
patiently waiting for the mother bird
TO leave In search for food, make quick
work of the capture, while the mother
bird is invariably shot to death upon
her return to the nest and In her fren-
zied search for her young. Bolder
hunters than these make their attack
at night, while the less experienced use
snares and nets, a method, however. in
Il majority of cases unsuccessful.-Inde

crisis. The Noe boys huddled
together on one corner of the stage
and set up such a bowling as has
not been heard since the Indians
filed away on western trail. Their
frantic actions and hideous yells
reminded the writer very much of
gang a raving maniacs. One
boy flourished a large pair of
pinchers in the air like one who is
going through a performance in
indian club swinging. Another
very small boy was standing back
ed up in corner, waving small
fire shovel, declaring that he would
run il anyone attempted to hurt
him.
The band boys, surrounded by
their many friends, next mounted
the stage in spite of all the threats
that they would be knocked off.
The cause of No. 6 was fast waning
and all that they could do now was
to retire and give vent to loud
lamentations over their defeat
which they did with great vigor.
In this confusion the order Emusic"
was given and the walls of old No.
6 school house rang with the sound
of the mandolins. A shout of
victory went up from the people.
Max string band came away vic
torious, with sound bodies and not
one instrument smashed.
The red ribbons were not touch
ed and they still fash defiance in
to the face of No. 6.

Miners ASK an Injunction.


Colorado Springs. Colo, March IA
Suit is to filed in the district court
Of El Paso by John P. Smith, the at
torney employed by the Western Fed
GRAFTON of Miners, naming Sheriff w.
S. Gilbert and other defendants and
asking Of the court an injunction or
supervisory order to determine the
extent Of the authority of the militia
as aids to the sheriff in the admins
tration of justice. Three taxpayers
will figure as the complainants, and
the suit will set up complete history
of the strike. 1t is brought on several
grounds, the most important being
that the public funds are now being
misapplled and that needless expense
is being incurred in the bringine, of
the militia to Colorado CITY and in the
maintenance of 1t here; and, further,
that the militia was brought here for
the purpose of breaking the strike
and that the purpose is unlawful and
invades the rights of citizens.

Sunday Closing Resolutions.

At meeting of citizens, includ-
ing representative Democrats and
Republican and the pastors of
both the Protestant and Catholic
churches, the following resolutions
were unanimously adopted:
Whereas, there is a general dis
satisfaction with the non enforce
ment of the Sunday law in regard
to the saloons of Logan, and
Whereas, we view with shame
and alarm ga wide open Sunday"
and find that the saloon interests
are organized and seeking and un-
due influence at both the primaries
and the election.
THEREFORE, RESOLVED.
1st. That while expressing no
choice of officers in the approach
ing election, we deem it our duty to
hint to the successful officers, that
the "Sunday Saloon" will meet
with our united and determined
opposition.
2nd. That we shall hold the
newly elected officers responsible
for the enforcement of the Sunday
laws and in case of failure to per-
form said duties we shall feel it
our duty to agitate, encourage the
Anti-saloon league, seek an indie
pendent ticket, or any or all legal
methods to take the control of our
municipal government from those

Our little village is alive and
seems TO be happy over the pros
poets of an early spring.
Mr.. s. N. Focht did a flourish
ing business during the winter
months, and is prepared to enter
upon the duties of the coming
summer with light heart.
Quite number of our young
people attended the social at Mr..
Frank Larimer's home one evening |
last week. Music and games were
the order of the evening.
Miss Fannie Good, of Peabody,
Kansas, is the guest of Miss Sarah
Johnston for few days.
Mr.. w. E. Weaver closed very
successful term Of school at No. 3.
on Friday, March Goth. A large
dinner was prepared and served by
the ladies. The Max string band
furnished music for the occasion.
Our band has three new mem
bers, Palmer, Hammond and Ash
baugh. This doubles the number
of members and also the quality
of the music. Red is the color.
The radiant and defiant streamers
of each members coat collar was,
is and always will be there. A
part of the band drove over to
Maxville on Saturday afternoon to
play for their last day of school.
The gentlemen say they were treat
ed splendidly and that they had a
good time.
2 No. 6 school tried to have an
entertainment but it iss admitted
by all that it was complete
/ failure. 1t was known beforehand
that it would be a failure, there
e fore, SO as not to disappoint the
t people entirely, Mr.. Hammond the

evening. He intended that the
t band should play few selections

o This did not daunt the spirit of
! the daring little band in the least
and when they arrived they boldly
entered and quietly waited for the
supposed entertainment to close.
The guard whom they had placed
at the door became greatly alarm
ed and rushing upon the stage he
mysteriously pointed to the bristles
on the actors heads which signi-
fed that the forces of the band
were great. BY this time the No
6 boys became terribly frightened
and were trembling and willing
like rag weeds under an August
sun.

NEXT Monday will tell the tale
whether old Hooking is going for
ward or backward. We have done
our best in our weak way to give
the people all the information at
hand on the subject of pixies and
if with all that has been said on
the subject, the people want to
vote it down it is no funeral of
ours. We have no horse and do
not drive on the roads once year,
good or bad. 1t is for the man
with the teams. with the heavy
hauling, the farmer, that the roads
are to be built. The capitalists,
the coal companies, the gas COM
panies and rail road companies are
fighting pixies. They have no
use for them. They reach their
markets on smooth tracks or de-
liver their goods through smooth
gas pipes. They are against
country roads for they have no
use for them, ,'and if they can get
the farmer to vote down his own
interests, they will ride on their
nice, smooth track, and laugh at
the farmer plodding through the
mud. So be it, if the farmer so
wills.
