Miss Eva L. Shorey, StenOgrapher to
the Governor and to the executive de-

signed her position to accept one as
private secretary to Congressman
Burleigh and will accompany Mr.. and
Mrs. BuTleigh when they return to
Washington. Miss ShOrey came to
Augusta from her home in Bridgtop
in the legislative session of 1867. to
act as StenoSrapher to Speaker LARA
bee of the House. The following
spring she did stenographic work for
Congressman Burleigh. A little later
she received the appointment as stem
ographer in the executive department.
where she remained through the ad-
ministratiOns of Governor Powers and
for three years under Governor Hill.
Her unusual ability and special adapt-
alton to the work have rendered her
almost invaluable in the office and her
departure will be keenly regretted.
Nevertheless. her Capitol associates, as
well as the wide circle of friends she
has made during her residence in Au-
gusta will extend hearty congratulate

only at the Capitol will she be missed.
but also in the Congregational society

in Unity Club and elsewhere.

IN experienced stenographer and is
highly recommended. For the past
year SHE has been in the law Office of
Williamson & Burleigh in this city
and before that had been employed in
Boston. She was at the>executive de-
rartment once for several weeks in the
absence of Miss Shorey and so is not

Last Sundays Portland Times had
an item to the effect that w. ID. Hines,
a Portland taxidermst, had recently
shot a big eagle. me Gsuring seven feet
from tip to tip. near the Marine
Hospital in that city. This item at
once aroused interest, when it came
into the hands of those at the fish and
game department and Mr.. Hines was
PROMPTLY communicated with upon the
subject. BY the laws of the state the
eagle is protected at all times. and the
penalty for killing the king of birds is
81 for the offense, and S. more for each
bird killed. The protection given the
eagle is in the general law protecting
all birds. except game birds. for which
special laws are made. The only birds
rot under the provisions of this general
law are owls, crows. hawks and Eng
lish sparrows. and these may be killed
with impunity any time the birds
present themselves in range.

professor who happily illustrates the
phrase, "A gentleman, a scholar and
a Christian" He is blessed with many
children whose education is a matter
of affectionate concern to him.
The youngest, a bright little girl,
just beginning to be interested in Bible
study, went to him one day with a
number of perplexing questions as to
the way in which the Chosen People
dealt with their enemies. Her tender
little heart shrank at what seemed *.
be such awful cruelty.
Rather than attempt to answer her
directly, her father led her into the
serener atmosphere Of the New Testa-
ment with its teaching that one should
love their enemies. and so forth.
Tie thild listened intently; but evil
