A canny Scot lived in small settle
lnent some miles from the neighboring
town. The distance, however, could
be considerably lessened by cutting
through large estate. This practice
was accordingly so much resorted to
that the owner gave peremptory orders
for all trespassers to be turned around
and sent back the way they came.
One time, however, the Scot in ques.
ton, having occasion to take some arti.
cles to town in wheGlbarrow, decided
to run the risk and was about half
way through when he saw the owner
In the distance. Not relishing the idea
Of retracing his steps, he bethought
himself of scheme, and, promptly
turning the wheelbarrow to face the
direction from which be came, he sat
down upon it as if resting.
Soon the owner came up and, seeing
him there, roughly ordered him to turn
around and go back.
AS back. was in this case his OBJ
jective point, the Scot obeyed and went
on his way rejoicing.

1t is the custom Of all Gas and
Water Companies to have signed
contract or application from the
Consumer. This custom has been
neglected in the past By this Com
pany, but the business has grown
so fast that it is an absolute neces-
sity to have some sort OF record
of the patrons Of the Company.
Therefore, during tie month OF No
vember, an inspection OF the houses
will be made and an application
will be presented by an agent of the
Company for the signature of each
consumer.
These applications are the same
as are in use by nearly all other Gas
and Water Companies and containiy
nothing that is contrary to the rules
and regulations of the Company now
in force and printed on the back OF
each Gas and Water receipt. 1t
merely emphasizes the fact that the
Company will not be liable for &C
cidents, due to irregular pressure,
which, owing to the great consump
ton and lessening field pressure
makes it impossible to entirely pre-
vent.
The Company will use every en-
deavor to regulate the pressure but
consumers must take their own risks
of accidents, and be especially watch
fal. There is absolutely no change
in this respect, from what is the rnle
everywhere.
During the month CT November
an opportunity will be given to con
sinners to sign the printed form and
in every case where the party refuses
or neglects to sign the same by No
vember Both Gas and Water will
positively be turned off on Deem

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


the Big Birds.
A small party of gentlemen, most all
of whom had tinges of sporting procliy-
tiles in their blood, were discussing the
subject of chicken fighting An cd
farmer from Rappahannock county,
Va, broke into the conversation.
Gentlemen" said he, Sin my time I
have seen some bang up chicken fights.
but the greatest fight l ever saw be-
tween birds in all my born days was a
contest between bald eagle and a
gray eagle near my old place in Kappa
hammock.
This fight took place on the bank of
the river. l couldn't forget it If l 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 1t 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 l 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 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
ors."-Washington Star.
