BIRD AND BEAST.

Battle Between n Hawk and n Big
Black Dog Mink.
Silent as an owl in the black of night,
across the little open space cleared by
the fallen maple, paused an almost i'm
perceptible instant above the unlisten-
ing squirrel, and then, wings closed,
dropped upon him with unerring talons.
But for some strange reason the har
rier seemed powerless to bear away
his kill; while his angry. frightened
screams drowned out the dying squeak
Of the squirrel he strove with great
rafting wing strokes to get purchase
on the air, but could not. Over and
over again he struck downward with
his beak, apparently at the squirrel,
though of this. because of the blur of
his whipping wings, 1 could not be
sure. In n moment he half toppled
forward, and then, like huge broken
winged partridge, he Topped about
among the tangled coils of roots, utter
ing meanwhile shrill screech on screech
that seemed fairly to lacerate his
throat. In but little more than it
takes to tell it a dozen kingbirds had
gathered. and were buzzing round the
struggling barrier like gadfiies round a
horse, adding their spiteful cries to his
harsh din; now crow appeared out
Of nowhere and searched deep In his
throat for his hoarest cry: blue jays
flashed across the clearing and back
again in frenzy of clamorous excite

birds rushed into the tree above me
till its branches sagged and creaked
like those of a laboring tree over
weighted with fruit-all in an instant
bedlam was let loose round that old
wind wrecked maple
Under cover of the uproar I crept
nearer and saw that big black dog
mink, his bulldog jaws clamped on
the upper leg of the barrier, was grim
ly fighting to pull him down from be-
hind, while the barrier, with the speed
Of terror and hate. sought desperately
to reach his assailant with his beak
1t looked as If the mink must win, for
the barrier was perceptibly weakening
in his vain counter attack; but a sud
den lift with the barriers long wings
half tore the mink from his hold and
swung him for one brief moment with
in distance of that rending beak
Rip; big red cash gaped open on the
mink's writing flank, and he let go
and tumbled back among the roots.
Up leaped the hawk, his pearly white
breast streaked and blotched with
blood from his wounded leg. Like
magic the cries of all but the king
birds were hushed while, still scream
ing with rage and hurt, the hawk rose
heavily skyward and marked his course
athwart the wind for the shelter of the
woods.-Harold S. Deming in Harper's

LlFELESS RIDERS.
Thrilling Incidents Culled From the
Horrors of War.

A veteran of the British army in In
dia once saw strange sight on bat
tleield. AS he tells the story a squad
ron of cavalry had been held in reserve
under cover of a field battery and an
infantry regiment. The artillery duel
had ended. The assault of the enemy
in overwhelming numbers had been re
pulsed by the steadiness of the infan-
try. While a cloud of smoke hung over
the field the cavalry received an order
to charge with drawn sabers.
The troopers started in close order for
the enemy's line. Midway they met a
destructive fire from earthworks in
front of them and from the woods on
their flank. A young cavalryman, with
his saber drawn, was shot in the heart
while leading in the first file. The horse
halted, swerved to the right and turned
back, but the rider kept his seat with
out fiinching. The other troopers went
on, carried the earthwork by storm,
rode at full gallop after the retreating
force and converted defeat into rout.
The dead trooper meanwhile was re-
turning with white face and with the
ulOoo iioil NOuhu. -
der his nerveless hand the horse re-
ceived neither check nor leading and
made it's own way toward the infantry,
which was now advancing rapidly. AS
the smoke lifted the soldiers saw the
solitary rider coming, with one hand in
a death grip upon the saddle, while the
other still held the sword rigidly
clasped
1t was a sight never to be forgotten
the galloping horse, with the dead cav
alryman still mounted and looking grim
and fierce. 1t was not until the rider
had gone fifty yards from the spot
where he had been killed that he rolled
off the horse.
A similar story is told of Captain No
Ian, who delivered the fatal laundering
order for the charge of the famous Light
brigade. He was seen on the field of
Balaklava, riding from the hills where
the staff officers were drawn up to the
quarter where the brigade was station
ed. The charge began, and what was
left of the brigade returned in broken
groups.
At last Captain Nolan was seen gal
Looping rapidly toward the center Of the
field. He was firmly seated, straight as
an arrow and riding well. Suddenly
the horse swerved and the rider toppled
over.
The officers who were nearest rushed
forward, but when they lifted him from
the ground they found him lifeless.
Like the Indian saberman. he had been
shot and instantly killed. but his horse
had carried him safely across the field,
out Of the reach of the pursuing Cos
sacks.

Peraian Dramafica.

A traveller. speaking of some Of the
oddities Of Persian customs when view
ed with occidental eyes, said:
depending as we do upon illusion
and scenic effects in our theaters, the
presentation Of Persian play by ma
tive performers strikes the westerner
as little short Of ridiculous, the extreme
solelnnity Of all concerned making the
appeal to hilarity all the stronger. In
one of their favorite miracle plays the
prophet Is supposed to ascend to heav-
en-, and this dramatic incident is &C
complshed by the very simple expedi-
ent of drawing him up from the stage
and out Of sight with block and
tackle The tackle is attached to his
belt by an attendant in plain view of
the audience. So strong. however, is
the imaginative power in the oriental
that many of the onlookers will be OBJ
served weeping openly" - Harpers

an endless delight to a man who lives
with his garden and watches his plans

another 1t is a different matter. Then,
after spending his best thought and
skill, the garden must be turned over
into the hands of the Philistine, who

Altruism of Science.

little child in New York was sui fering from purpura, disease accom- panied by the weakening of the walls of the arteries. so that the blood es- capes from all parts of the body and shows itself in livid patches on the skin. The case of this child was an ag- grayated one. and the physicians were ready to give it up. when the transfu- sion of blood was suggested.
 For this purpose the father said that he would give his own blood, all Of it. that the child might live. So he was strapped to the childs body and one of his arteries connected with the child's blood vessels. and then a great current of his strong. healthy blood went into the child's body. and the little one almost immediately rallied. and is now not only out of danger, but is fast gaining flesh and the rosy hue of health.
 Here Is altruism in its simplest form. and while it Is only the natural sacri- flee of oneself for his own child, it is a picture that all humanity loves to look upon. It is where science opens wide the door to the religion of service

Prominent Commission Merchant O
 Kansas City Tells a Few Facts

J.

Aucham- paugh 10 purchase a home here. and bring his family. While this is his first visit to the valley, he is not un- acquainted with its products as pre- vious to his moving to Bartelsyille,. he was engaged in the commission busi- ness in Kansas City for ten years. and handled fruits and melons which were shipped to him from this section.
 Mir. Auchampaugh states that he al- ways had a good trade and ready mar ket for Arizona citrus fruits, as they reached him at least two months earli- CT than those raised in California and Florida. Besides having a distinct quality and flavor which his trade soon became acquainted with. He considers that the Arizona cantaloupes possess a finer flavor than those of the far-famed Rocky Ford variety. and besides this fact, they arrived several weeks in advance of those produced in other sections of the country, and thus easily demanded a better price and ready sale.

He reports that conditions there are improving steadily and that the outlook is now much brighter than 1t has been at any time since the mines closed down last fall. The majority of the mines are working almost as many men as were formerly employed there. but only two shifts are being worked instead of three
 Most of the work now being done is in the way of further developing the mines there, which has been some what neglected during the high price of copper. as all efforts were expended towards getting out the ore. As a re- suit of this, the ore now being taken out will only average about fifty per cent of the amount which was produc- ed prior to the shutdown there last autumn.
