Rousseau, and not the least influential
Of them was the socialist group. Rous-
seau was unable to organize a purely
republican ministry, as the moderates
under Meline were bitterly opposed to
the reopening of the Dreyfus case,
and he was obliged to invoke socialist
aid. Socialist votes kept him in power
for the extraordinary term of three
years, from June, 1899, to June, 1902,
and the same votes have enabled the
obscure Combes to weather many
storms and retain office in a country
of short-lived cabinets, for thirty
months.
Combes' programme included the
rigorous application of the anti-clerical

ment coming from Japan to Charles

calls it Lespedeza strata. 1t is a
summer growing plant that thrives on
light soils. After its introduction in
to the Carolinas it spread with great
rapidity, the seed being carried by
the birds. 1t is not likely to thrive
north Of the Ohio river if left to itself
If it is grown at all further north, it
will have to be sown in the spring
with the certainty that it will kill out
in the winter. Even then it may prove
useful in some locations. just as is
the case with crimson clover.

Youth Battles for Life with Monarch
Of the Air.
News has reached here of a terrible
fight c. d. Estill had a few days ago
with monster eagle near Philo says
dispatch from Ukiah, Cal. Estill
was plowing and noticed a large bird
in tree. He stopped his work and
when he saw 1t was an eagle he be-
gan throwing rocks at it,
The bird was hit several times and
commenced circling around overhead,
too high for Estill to throw. Estill
was standing by picket fence watch
ing the maneuvers of the bird, when
it suddenly swooped down and. struck
him a terrific blow with its wings.
Estill grabbed a picket from the
fence and then began a battle for life
that eventually ended in the killing
Of the eagle. Time after time it came
at the boy and struck him with its
wings and beal, sometimes receiving
blows from the picket in return. Es-
till succeeded IN breaking one of the
eagles wings, but did not drive it
away.
Both were becoming weak. and the
eagle managed to stick his talons in
the boys arm, nearly tearing it from
his shoulder and causing him to faint
When he recovered the eagle was
lying dead but few feet from him.
The eagle measured ten feet from
tip to tip and had talons eight inches
long Estill is still under the doc
tors care.
