VAMPIRE PROVES TOUGH CUSTOMER

COUNCIL BLUFFS, Iowa, Sept II.
For the sensation of ''pinching de
bats tall 12-year-old Hans Christof-
ferson had a fearful encounter here
with a great Colorado bat and escaped
only after one eye had been clawed
out and he had been MANNED for life
and covered with blood from deep
gashes.
The affair took place at the feeding
time of the bat, which was brought
from Colorado by Thomas Delaney
and Michael Devaney, two Colorado
policemen. It had been originally in
tended to wait until the crowds had
gone before the vampire was fed, but
the thing became so violent that it was
determined to fill up it's stomach to
quiet it. 1t was feared the bat would
in its restlessness attack some passer-
by.
Two or three pounds of raw beef
and half gallon bucket of warm blood
were secured. A crowd gathered about
and then Delaney and Devaney STEP
ped inside the pen to feed the bat
They did not notice that young Chris
Jefferson had quietly slipped in be-
tween them. Two of the iron bars in
closing the bat were slipped out and
the bucket and meat set inside The
vampire bounced upon the blood and
had drunk nearly all Of it.
''Jes keep your peppers on me while
I pinch de bats tall sang out Hans
as he pushed between the two officers,
and, quick as a flash, grabbed the
stumpy little tail
What happened then couldn't be de-
scribed by the bystanders, for instantly
a terrifying racket set up, screaming,
shouting and threshing about. The lit
tie building swayed violently back and
forth, and when the front end of it
surged outward and, appeared to be
falling there was a scramble for safety.
Instantly upon seeing the boy in the
cage with the vampire, Delaney and
Devaney, with three others, went in
side to the boys rescue. The bat made
a fruitless attempt to attack them also,
and it was fortunate that they escap-
ed serious injury. However, they man
aged to pull the thing off his chain
and drag out the boy. A stretcher was
brought and a physician was called
who found the boys face in a terrible
condition. The bat had clawed out the
left eye and cut and scratched all over
the face.

Constructors Puzzled at Meanina of
Law Authorizing Big Fighting
Machine.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Sept. 12.-
The naval constructors who are en-
gagged on the plans for the battleship
gress are somewhat embarrassed by
the indefinite terms of the law provid-
ing for that vessel. The qualifications
mentioned by Congress for the new
battleshlp require characteristics which
are equal to those Of "any known YES
sell of the battleship class. This
meant at the time of enactment the
design of a battleship which would be
the equal, at least, of the English
Dreadnaught. and it is to this end that
the naval constructors have been work.
ing. They are now asking themselves
whether the introduction of the new
italian battleship, described as the
superior of the Dreadnaught, does not
present additional requirements and
exact something of the battleship de-
signers which they had not counted
on. OF course, it is possible to regard
the Dreadnaught as the standard, and
to ignore anything which is merely de-
scribed as surprising it. At the same
time it is realized that the situation
may provoke critics of the navy and
opponents of naval increase to obstruc-
ton of the plans for Improvement
hereafter, and some of the more appre-
hensive of naval officers are predicting
a lively debate in Congress when the
plans of the new battleship are re-
ceived. 1t is realized that there i.
some danger in the too general re-
of Congress respecting the
next battleship.

II is the fellow who will inconveni-

ease 1t is the man who will come
TO YOU when the clouds are dark and
when the muttering thunders of mis-

who says, Don't be discouraged; I'll

will do you kindness only when
services rendered.
Remember that all who write their
names i'll script in your friendship
album are not your friends.
1t takes real man to be your
friend. He must have marrow in his
bones and love and courage in his
heart. No driveling coward is cap
able of friendship or love other than
that possessed in common with the

And young man young woman, take
