n ossIBLY you know all about Eagle Eye, the
crack wild western rough rider and renowned
rifle shot, who has Buffalo Billed and Barnum u
Baileyed all America and Europe and who never
yet has cut his hairs Whether~you do not, he has
settled down to skunk farm at WARREN N. H.
Eagle Eye is easily the greatest character In War
rem His appearance in the road riding his bucking
broncho with his leather trousers and sombrero is that
of genuine cattle puncher. That he never had his
hair cut is of his boasts and his heavy locks like
ours when loose fall far below his waist and
than four feet in length.
His father name was Hawk Eye, who part
Indian and the other part Mexican. And his mother
always referred Mrs Eye so that the present
member of the family loosely says that he has three
eyes, himself and his two optics.
Mr.. Eye says that there is money in skunks. He
has ready market in Boston for all the pets and oil
he produce. But the Yankee farmer, every of
whom has had skunkus Americans under his barn
at some time another in his career, looks with
evil eye Eagle Eyes trade and gives the skunk
farm wide berth. But Eye says he does not care
scent for that He finds the skunks very companion
able little fellows and mild kittens unless they
are disturbed.
Unfortunately it is necessary to disturb about two
thousand of them in order to rip off their pelts
This process the skunk finds serious objections to and
he takes his own way of expressing dissatisfaction
with it. This protest Of the skunkus may be described
as Cloud It be heard all Warren, New
Hampshire, and out into the country.
This continued protest has somewhat aroused the
citizens of Warren but Eagle Eye said to be
Of the kind that shoots nobody has yet taken up the
matter with him and probably will not .~
It seems beautiful to hear of grand old border
character like that of Eagle Eye spending the twilight
Of his days on the farm, surrounded by skunks and
the trophies Of the chase: ;,

The gentleman takes some little pains not to step

thinks it is mark of culture to pick his teeth at
table, provided he does it behind his napkin.
You know the difference on sight. There is the
real gentleman and there is the boy who steps your
feet your feelings somewhere and then makes it
all right by saying 'excuse me. " 1t is something
like making donkey into horse by clipping his ears
He does not carry the donkey appearance quite so
openly but he is still thinking the donkey thought
