Once when an eagle, shot through
the body with a rife ball, lay on his
back I appended a long road skid and
dropped 1t on him. Before 1t reached
him he stretched up and caught 1t on
his claws and held 1t up the length of
his legs above him. I walked up on
the skid, which I should Judge would
weigh more than twenty pounds. ]
took pains to be weighed the same
day and weighed 119 pounds. Put a
stick in one claw OF a wounded eagle
and let him grasp a small tree with
the other, and a man nust be strong
er than I ever was to take the stick
from him.-Forsst and Stream.

The Latest Fad.

There are always fashions in hold
ing up the dress, and the latest is to
catch up the gown a trife to the front
in order to show the smart shoe and
stocking. A novelty that comes from
Paris is to low black slippers
with colored silk stockings, and occa-
sionally the heels are made to match
the hue of the silken hose.

Black Dress.

This year the most elegant Of all

fine silky b%roadcloth which has the
richness of silk. A gown of this char

best investments the woman of small

French Coats.

The coat, the new coat with the
long directoire lines, the massed trim
ming, and the quaint, individualized
sleeve, is to be the browning glory,
the acme or point of all others in the
street dress of the immediate future.
All formal and half-formal coats will
be long. So, too, will be the plain
coat for general wear.

Scant Skirts.

All skirts are sheath fitting vel
the hips, and, though quite full about
the feet, have the effect of skimpi-
ness on account of their clinging
lines. Then again, all up-to-date
house skirts are so long that they lie
on the floor for several inches at
least, and as soft fabrics are now fav-
ored, these fall in such soft, close
folds that the skirts appear to be ex-
tremely scant.

Fasten in Front.

1t looks as though all the garments

crate blouses and of classic party

SuICu LA Lays " SuSASoA" ~"
aSome two months ago I had a humor
break out on my limbs below my knees.
They came to look like raw beefsteak, all
red, and no one knows how they itched
and burned. They were so swollen that I
could not get my shoes on for a week or
more. I used FIVE or six digerent remedies
and got no help, only when applying them
the burning was worse and the itching less.
For two or three weeks the suffering was
and during that time l did not
sleep an hour at a time. Then n morn
ing / tried a bit of Cuticura. From the
moment it touched me the itching was
gone and / have not felt a bit of it since.
The swelling went down and in two days !

team gave Princeton its first defeat of
the season today, scoring 10 points to
Princeton's 6.
It was anybody's game until the
final whistle blew, although the men
from Hanover exhibited the more con-
sistent ball.
Pishon, the tiny quarter back-he
weighs but 126-played brilliantly. IN
addition. he directed his team with ex-
eellent Judgment His forward pass
ing brought about the winning score.
Buckingham's short punt had given
Dartmouth the ball on Princeton,s 20
yard line. Pishon then called Lor d
forward pass and hurled the ball clean
iy to Schildmiller, who dashed across
the goal. ,..
Of the second half, Princeton secured
The ball on Dartmouth's 20-yard line

Dartmouth's other score came IN tne

the leather to the New Jersey men

NO BLESSING FOR HER.
Disappointed Younester Disseminated
in His Prayer.

For several weeks, little Ralph had
enjoyed the use of a Shetland pony,
the property Of a horse dealer who
was a friend of the family. But much
to Ralph's sorrow, there came a day
recently when the pony was sold, and
the delightful horseback rides came
to a sudden end. The purchaser, as
Ralph found out by inquiry, was a
little girl OF about his own mature
age Of five. Ever since his %acquaint.
nee with the pony began. Ralph had
included him in his bedtime prayer,
and God bless the pony" was an
earnest nightly petition. The first
evening after the sale OF the pony,
Ralph hesitated when he reached his
pets place in the prayer. Then, after
a moments thought, he continued:
please, God, bless the pony Just
the same; but, God, don't you bless
the little girl what's got the pony"
