The American EaaIe.

Our bald eagle, SO called because
the feathers on the top of his head are
white, was called the Washington
eagle by Audubon, the great natural
ist. Like Washington, he is brave
and fearless, and as his name and
greatness are known the world over,
SO can the eagle soar to heights be-
yond others.
The eagle was adopted as the en-
blem of the United States in 1885,
since when it has been used on the
tips Of fiagpoles, coins, United States
seals and on the shield of liberty.

The Dollar sion.


Have you ever wondered why this
' Is used for the dollar mark?
The following probable explanation
has been given:
In the old days some uf the Ameri-
can colonies used certain Spanish
coins for money. Among these was
one called a dollar, which was equal
to eight reals, real being a small
Spanish coin.
This dollar was known as a piece
of eight"
In making out accounts there was
apt to be confusion In distinguishing
between dollars and reals, SO when
they wished to represent dollars, or
pieces of eight" they made the fig-
ure eight and drew two lines through
1t. like our present dollar sign 20, in
order that 1t might not be mistaken
Tor figure. The figures placed af-
ter this cancelled eight We're then
known to be dollars; and the reals
were distinguished by placing pc
Rod In front of the figures, just as
we divide dollars and cents nowadays.

A Pottery Story.

Pottery Story.
A squaw left her two boys to care
for her papoose while she worked in
side the tent. She did not notice
what the boys were doing with the
papoose until 1t began to cry. The
squaw was unable to find the mis-
her they were down by the river.
Not coming when she called them, the
squaw found that they were unwill-
ingly disobedient Their feet were
stuck fast in the wet clay of the
river bank. With great difficulty she
got them back to the tent. Then they
all laughed at their footprints in the
clay, for deep holes remained wher-
ever they had stepped.
The band of Indians left camp be-
fore sunrise the next morning. The
squaw, with her boys and papoose
were soon far away. During the hot
summer that soon followed the same
band returned to the river they had
left. The two little boys ran down
to the river bank. No rain had fallen
since their last visit and they easily
found their footprints in the clay

HAS BEEN REMOVED TO JAIL

Chattanoogs, Tenn, September 16-
(Speciai.)--An unsuccessful attempt was
made last night by three unknown men
to rescue Harrison Armour from the
clutches of the law. the plan being to re-
move him through window of the room
at Erlanger hospital, in which the priso-
ner lies, in charge of two patrolrnen. who
stayed at his side all night. Following
the attempted rescue Armour was this
morning moved In an ambulance to the
county jail for safekeeping and was lodg-
ed in the hospital cell.
Throughout the history of the Armour
brothers of whom Harrison is the last to
retain his liberty and who himself is now
wanted at Birmingham on charge OIL
killing a deputy sheriff near that city,
their criminal careers have been punct-
uated by frequent arrests and as many
attempts at rescue. They seem to have
numerous and faithful friends who do not
forsake them when they meet the re-
ward of their crimes and are locked in
jail.
The attempt last night was in keeping
with the spirit of the man in whose be-
half the effort was made. the room
occupied by Armour at Erlanger hospital
Is on the ground floor and easy of ac-
cess through window opening on the
lawn outside About midnight last night
an employee at the hospital saw three men
drive up near the hospital in hack
and leaving the vehicle in the roadway
make their way cautiously toward the
hospital. An exciting attempt to release
Armour then followed which was thwart-
ed by the police who were on guard at
the county Jail today. Armour had moth
ing to say in regard to the affair claiming
ignorance as to the plan Of the would
be iberators He will be put on trial here
before Alabama authorities are allowed
to carry him to Birmingham.

From "Circus Day." by Eugene Wood,

funny old clown, a particular one, to
give it human interest. 1t Is all too
splendid, too magnificent, too far beyond
us. We want to hear somebody talk fool
ish and human once in while.
