Strength and Strategy Avail Little
Against Big Bird-Almost Dead
When Help Comes.

GAINESVILLE, O.-Harvey Fredericks,
an employe of the Farm theater, a
summer resort, is lowering between
life and death as the result of a fear
full encounter which he had with an
Arctic owl which, along with several
animals consigned to the theater from
Washington state, he was assisting to
unload.
The huge owl, doubtless chafing
from its long captivity, flew at Fred
ericks and sank it's talons in the flesh
of his face, neck, arms and shoulders,
lacerating him in a terrible manner.
His strength was unavailing in an ef-
fort to ward off the owls plunges at
him, and when assistance arrived
Fredericks was almost dead from the
wounds which he had sustained.
In many places the bones of his
breast and arms were laid bare, and
the main artery of his left arm had
been severed as if with knife. He
came near bleeding to death before a
Doctors assistance could be procured.
and it IS stated that his death is mo-
mentarily expected from the shock of
the encounter or loss of blood. Blood
poisoning is also feared.

SIGHT SUDDENLY RETURNS
Stricken Man Relieved as Remarkably
az he Was Smitten-Iron
! Rust the Cause.

New York-No happier nor more
grateful man exists than David Brown,
Jr. For he recovered his eyesight after
a fortnight of total blindness following
six years of suffering with his eyes and
five operations them. Oculists can
not explain the perfect restoration OF
Browns power to see.
He is a printer living at Mount Ver-
non. A minute particle of rusty iron
entered one of his eyes six years ago
and provoked intense Inflammation.
which soon involved the other eye
Three operations were performed on
his eyes in a hospital in this city. At
the last the surgeons intended to re-
move the eye that the iron had pene-
trated. But Brown was so intensely
nervous the incision was postponed
for "a hours. In that time the atom
of iron shifted it's position and eventu-
ally the eye was saved.
A felon formed over the eye the iron
had wounded year ago, and to re-
move it two operations were neces-
sary. While walking on the street
some weeks ago Brown, without an in
stant''s warning, was stricken blind.
He could not distinguish light from
darkness. Since then the degree of his
blindness has lessened occasionally,
only to become total again, until the
other day, when rejoicing, intensely
thankful, perfect sight was restored to
him.

GOATS AND NATIONS FATE
Bewhiskered Thibetan Animal Is
Strayed Over Line of Demarca-
tion and the War Follows.

The frontier between British India
and Thibet traverses districts where
there are mountain pastures, and the
main grievance was that certain Thib-
etan goats which we're ignorant of the
line Of demarcation were in the habit
of straying into British terrific ry. What
particular harm the goats Cil by brows-
ing occasionally on British grass is
not very clear. In any case. the dam
age could not have been considerable.
In 1889 England went to war with Spain
on account of the ear of certain Jenk-
ins, which had been cut off by some
Spanish officials, although it was con-
tended that the ear was still ;ttached
to Jenkins head. 1t has, howe, er. been
reserved to this century for England
to engage in a war that promises to be
extensive, on account, professedly, OF
a few wandering goats.

SHE WOULD SLAY CRAZY.
Chicago Woman Says It Would Be

Chicago.-'The Spartans and Medes

children to death as soon as born, were
wiser than we,' Mrs. Margaret Forwerg
told the Social Economic club here the
other day, in general discussion of pen
itentiaries, reformatories and insane
asylums.
Brutal as it may seem, such an atti-
tude is necessary for the greatest good to
the greatest number.
Society would profit if the insane and
the hopelessly deformed were put to
swift, painless and legal death. In that
respect some old pagan civilizations
were in advance OF our own
"Asylums for the seclusion of such per-
sons, where they drag out miserable
existence, should be replaced by hos
pitfalls for those of criminal and degen-
crate tendencies. Those who are hope
less should be done away with under le-
