in MIDAIR.
A Hawk And a Cat Fought
Desperate Battle.

Montgomery, w. Va, Aug. a.
Summer boarders at Bargar's
Springs witnessed a terrific mid-air
battle between a large hawk and a
medium-sized white cat, in which
both combatants lost their lives.
The cat killed the bird and in turn
was crushed by its fall to the earth.
The cat was stretched upon a pile
of boards asleep, when out of the
sky an immense hawk plunged and
arose with the animal grasped in it's
talons. The cat fought with great
fierceness, and the upward progress
of the two was marked by a swirl Of
fur and feathers. The animal in its
fury tore great lines in the hawk
and denuded it of its plumage.
High up in the air they hung.
Then they began to fall, and as they
neared the earth a trail Of feathers
followed. They struck the ground
with thud and all was over. The
hawk was literally disemboweled,
every feather in reach of the cats
claws being torn away. It's flesh
also hung in little strings. The cat
was badly disfgured and soaked in.
blood. 1t was apparent, however,
that the fall and not the bird had
killed the plucky animal.

Surplus women" or the matrimo-

kindly consideration and advice from |
Mrs. Charlotte Perkins-Gilman, in the |
Independent.
why is it less 'womanly,'" she |
asks. ito go to Colorado, because
ones mate be there, than to go to a
ball because he may be there? Do
not our young women array them
selves gloriously and go forth In
great numbers to all manner OF en-
tertainments and social opportunities
to meet the much outnumbered men
who may be there?
do not careful parents plan and
| toll and pay large bills to this end?
1t is futile to assume that our women
do nothing to advance their matrimo-
NAL hopes.
Really it does seem pity with so
many surplus men that the little To-
cal trifies of surplus women should
be SO picked upon. Every woman
who wished to could have mate, and
a choice at that, with over a million
extras to serve as a second helping,
