HAWK, DEAD, cLuNe TO BRANCH.
Mans Strength Required to Release
Grip of the Talons.


George M. Lee, engineer OF the
Pennington River Power Company al
its Tariffville power station, was look
ing out across the Pennington River
from window in the power house one
day last week when he saw Dig
hawk light on one of the topmost
branches of a tree about 200 yards
away
Mr. Lee took from it's rack a Lee
navy rifle of the pattern of which his
father, the late James Parish Lee,
was the inventor. Returning to the
window Mr.. Lee took sight and fred.
The hawk fluttered and changed po-
sition somewhat, but as it did not
fall. Mr.. Lee thought at first he had
made a poor shot and missed. He
started to sight for a second shot,
when he realized that if his shot had
not taken effect the hawk would GER
tainly have flown away after the loud
report.
Mr.. Lees assistant crossed the river
to the tree, but the hawk never stirred
from it's perch on the treetop. Com
pletely mystifed, the man then climb
ed the tree. He found the hawk hang
ing head downward, its talons still
encircling the branch on which it was
perched when Mr.. Lee fired. The
tendons of the hawks legs were rigid
and it required all the mans strength
to release the claws from the branch.
The bullet, which was of only %
calibre, had cut a clean hole through
the hawks neck, killing 1t instantly
But the hawks grip on it's perch had
grown rigid instead of relaxing at
death and the body simply aid the
giant swing" around the branch,
much as an athlete would around a
horizontal bar, except that the hawks
body did not complete the circle.
Mr.. Lee found that his prize meas

Advertising a Town.

The marvellous growth of Seattle,
Wash, is credited mainly to newspaper
publicity. The business men Of that
community raised a considerable sum
to be expended for space in Eastern
newspapers, and the returns were

Having a Picnic.

There is something particularly enjoyable
about going to a Picnic The very word
Picnic brings pleasant anticipations Of a
good time. The idea Of going out to the
woods and fields or down by some brook OF
lake, with luncheon to be served on the
grass and under the trees has a peculiar
fascination The fresh air and exercise
contribute to give hearty appetite to all
and everything at luncheon seems far
better than the finest course dinner that
a French chef ever served. Wooden dishes
supplant Dresden china, and paper boxes
silver trays, when the good things to
eat" are spread upon the ground.
Pic-Nics are never complete without the
sandwiches, sweet white bread with gem
erous layer Of meat between. Libby's
canned meats are ideal for Pic-Nics and
outings. The cans are so easily opened
and the contents so fresh and palatable
that no Picnic is a success without
Libby's Natural Flavor" Food Products.

gored skirt with an inverted plait at the
back, and especial attention must be
paid the fit over the hips. In fact the
cut of the skirt must be most carefully SUI
perintended. A blunder in this will make
the skirt hang awry and a droop ia one
part more than another will spoil the
whole effect of the garment.
Such skirt as this, if properly
made, will serve for a variety of other
uses besides wheeling. 1t can be worn
at golf or at tennis or at basketball
1t is little short for ordinary street
wear, except in very rainy weather, but
it is just what one wants for long rough
walks or for boating. 1t is really very
little less inc0mmoding than the bloom
ers or knickerbockers in which the
French women take their spins in the
BOls and far less trouble than the
overlong English skirts. Even the
Americans wear their outing skirts
longer than they used to do, but they
are short enough to be comfortable on a
a wheel or the links or the tennis court

spect and the Old basque waist and the
high hat have disappeared together, ex-
cept for stately occasions. Even in the
Park smart looking women may be seen
riding horseback in shirt waists and
soft outing hats.
Also they may be seen wearing divided
skirts riding astride. Not SO much in
New FORK perhaps as anywhere else'
although even in New York the new
fashion finds adherents. But Boston the
conservative commends riding astride as
we'll as Chicago the radical. All over
the country the fashion is increasing
and with it will come big change in
the riding habit. Even where the side
saddle is still used the skirt is only long
enough to cover the feet we'll and is a
great contrast to the old sweeping skirt
that almost touched the ground. The
divided skirt must be made with great
pains and here again the good tailor is
an essential. If the skirt is not right it
Is likely to be horror and it is almost
better for woman to refrain from rid
ing altogether than to go in a skirt so
poorly made that she both looks and
feels unsightly.
There is no fear that the taste for
athletics is by way of rendering women
careless Of the dainties of their appear
ance. Because they dress in fashion
that Smakes delicate arrangements OF
chiffon and tulle out of place they have
not renowned pomps and vanities.
There are all sorts of neckgear made
with especial reference to their outdoor
occupations and the tailor made girl
who goes in for athletics of sorts is as
fussy about her stocks and her collars
and her ties as ever was her mother over
jabots and lace. The girl who rides a
wheel or plays golf or tennis has Of
fered to her serviceable wash stocks, the
Ascot being the favourite as, rule.
These are made in plain and figured
materials, in white or colours. The
linen collar, which went almost entire
ly out ofiuse for while, is in again, but
now it isiusually in the form of little
turn over, embroidered OF plain. With
this is worn silk or ribbon stock. All
that is demanded of the neck gear is that
it should be simple and serviceable as
we'll as becoming. The cost of the
stocks and collars and turnovers may be
great Or small, as the girls purse
permits and her taste inclines. But she
can look as we'll in an inexpensive stock
as in the highest priced CONNECTION of
fashionable haberdasher.

low. She will bicycle, of course. Some
other outdoor occupations she might not
have the opportunity to attempt, but her
wheel is something she can find chance
to use almost anywhere. So the first
thing to consider about the skirt is how
it will answer in bicycling. There was
a story going the rounds in the days
when outdoor life and roughing for
young women were just becoming pOpu-
lar of girl who went to her dressmak-
er to give her summer orders and in
sisted upon having at least one costume
that would look we'll against rock.

any sort. There are several such fab
RIGS. Not so many double faced goods
are used as there were a season or SO
ago, but the stuffs are no less attractive.
The length of the skirt is an important
item, especially if it is to be used for
something besides cycling. AS a gener-
al rule it is cut to come about four
inches from the ground. The round
skirt which was worn good deal a few
years ago has given way to the seven

The American woman has evolved an
outing costume that is far ahead of that
worn by the women of any other nation.
The Englishwoman is devoted to sport.
but in the JOY of this she is SO needless
of her appearance that her dress is usu-
ally synonym for dowidness. The
Frenchwoman cares comparatively
little Tor out door sports, but she in
dulges in them because one must keep
up with the times. Usefulness of cost
uIne for such occasions she sacrifices to
beauty and sets out to play golf and ten
mis- in high heeled shoes and unsuitable
garb. But. the American girl goes at her
outdoor pursuits in business like
manner which makes sensible dress
necessary and to this adds touch of
charm that gives her costume a style of
its own,
There are very few lines Of athletic
exercise and wholesome sport that are
closed to the girl and woman of today.
She cannot afford suit for each one of
these and she must generally comprOm

part of the costume is the skirt. Time

TO go with this, but even in horseback |
riding now it is permissible to wear
shirt waist and the chief attention can
be expended upon the skirt.
II the girl is rational she will econ
