Pulling the Eaqle's Tail.

I knew an Indian, Yellow Eagle
who In order to get his coup feather
dug Il hole in the ground on the open
prairie far from camp or habitation
Over 1t he fixed covering of brush,
upon which was laid the carcass of a
freshly slain antelope. In this trap he
lay for three days awaiting the eagles
coming. When at last. lured by the
bait. one did alight he seized it from
below. and despite its tapping and
clawing AMI pecking he plucked the
precious feathers before freeing the as
tonished and terrified bird. ] recall
none but the American aboriginal who
has been able successfully to pull the
American eagles tail.-Army and Navy

HIS CRYING BABY.
And the Cheerful Elderly Man Who
Was Generous With Advice.

And the Cheerful Elderly Man Who
Was Generous With Advice.
A young man about twenty-five years
old was sitting In one of the third
class waiting rooms Of London rail-
way terminus with a baby on his
knee. and his helplessness in pacifying
the bowling child attracted the atten-
ton of passersby Presently an elder
~ man walked up. with a smile of
pity. and queried:
"a woman gave you that baby to
hold while she went to see about her
luggage, didn't sheY
YES"
"And you expect her back. 1 sup
poser
Il think she'll come back"
"Well, this makes me laugh. A wo-
man played the same trick on me once,
but no one ever will again. Young
man, you've been done You've been
taken for country greenhorn and
been sold Better give the baby over to
a policeman and make move before
some reporter gets at you."
"Oh. she'll come back" replied the
young man as he looked anxiously
round.
"She will, eh? Joke grows richer and
richer. What makes you think she'll
Gomez"
Because she's my wife. and this is
our first baby"
"Oh-h'm. see," muttered the old
man. whose hi!arity suddenly evapo-
rated. and when he also discovered
that he'd lost his train he kicked dog
that had been left unguarded on the
platform.-London Answers.

A CURIOUS FARM.
Requires No Fences and Never Had a
Wheeled Vehicle.

Wheeled Vehicle.
Within sight of the town Of Jasper,
No.. in the Ozarks. a settler has a
farm which probably is unlike any 9TH
er in the world.
This farm occupies the tableland on
the summit Of ridge and is inclosed
with fence which no animal has ever
broken through. 1t does not rise above
the surface of the farm, but falls sheer
from the edge a distance of many feet
The man who homesteaded the table,
land had hard climb up the face of
a perpendicular cliff to reach the COM
paratively level summit.
At one point ledge extends out a
few inches and along the face of the
cliff at an upward grade. BY follow
ing this ledge and making use of coca
sional points of rocks and Of shrubs
growing In the assures the discoverer
pulled himself to the summit and found
surface well covered with soil and a
luxuriant vegetation.
Gradually he improved the ledge un-
til he could carry up tools and seed.
BY blasting and drilling he cleared a
narrow trail. up which he was able to
take first some pigs and then cow.
Later on he took up a horse.
And that today is the condition Of
this curiously protected farm. No vehi-
Gle has turnedta wheel within its linn
its of palisades. The live stock has
multiplied and consumes the grain
raised. Some stones thrown across the
trail completely fence in the hogs and
cattle When the farmer has stock to
sell he drives the animals down the
private trail and strikes the road to

Why Negroes Like watermeIons.

The humorists always associate the
African, with the watermelon, assum.
ing that the taste of tho colored man
for his favorite dainty arises from his
life in the southern states. where the
melon vine grows like weed AS a
fact. however. the African taste for
the watermelon is hereditary. The
vine is a native Of Africa, where it is
found wild in the great central plains
of the continent. and has also been cul-
tivated for many ages. In Egypt the
melons grown along the Nile rival
those of southeastern Missouri The
melons mentioned by the Israelites as
being among the good things they had
in Egypt We're undoubtedly watermel-
ons. for in the wall paintings about
the time ofSthe exodus the melon vine
Is represented. and in one case long
procession of slaves is depicted, each
bearing on his shoulder huge, dark
green watermelon. : Washington Her

WASHINGTON LETTER.

There is little likelihood of an imme-
diate revival of commercial activity, nc
matter who is elected, according. to a
report made public November by the
Bureau of Manufacturers of the Depart.
ment of Commerce and Labor. The
report refers to this country's trade with
the United Kingdom, and after reciting
the enormous reduction in the trade,
draws the conclusion that commerce is
mot likely to increase much'
The causes assigned for this continued
depression are the labor troubles in Great
Britain and the apparent improbability OF
anything happening to reduce the mum.

United States Senator Aldrich has an /.
nounced that he will not be a candidate
for reelection in 1911, according to for
mer Governor Geo. H. Utter, who made
public the statement.
The retiremento of Senator Aldrich will
be the most vital break yet made in the
ranks of the conservatives, who have
stood like, Napoleon's "Old Guard" in
the face of assaults within the Senate and
attacks from without. With Senator
Aldrich as their leader, Senators Allison,
Hale, Frye, Culloni aud Gallinger came
to be known as the Big Six" They
controlled legislation absolutely. With
out their sanction bills died With their
consent measures were permitted to pass.
This combination was broken some
what by the death of Senator Allison,
while Senator Cullom has virtually with
drawn from the battles of the clau.
No one better than Senator Aldrich
realizes that the overthrow of the Senate
"oligarchy" is foreordained. In the
Fifty ninth and The opening session of
the Sixtieth Congress he met with in
creasing difficulty in the direction of leg.
islation. Although his machine stood by
him, the resistance offered by the out
siders became ever more vigorous.
There were two battles in the last ses
sion that disclosed that the end of the
"oligarchy" was near. One was on the
fight made by President Roosevelt for
four battleships, and the other on the
currency bill bearing Senator Aldrich's
name.
As chairman of the Committee on FL
nance Mr.. Aldrich has been in complete
control of the situation. His first lieu
tenant, Senator Allison, was chairman Of
the Committee on Appropriations. and
between them they practically contolled
the expenditures of the Government.

UNIFORM STREET PLANTING.

II Gives Strength and Dignity to the
Effect.
The first necessity of rat .onal street
tree planting is to have the same sort
of tree on each side for as great a
distance as possible, SAYS Los Al
geles contemporary. One never tires
Of the same tree; no matter how ex-
, tensive the lines; there are added
strength AID dignity with each sue
cessive mile. Of course a highway.
OF course a highway with curves or
bends may be an exception, but
straight lines of planting should he
of one kin1 only. The continuity
serves but to intensity our apprecia-
ton ana enjoyment, a1i the length
and regular uniformity become state
ly with advancing years The visitor
after noting the general effect for d
time, begins to study habit, foliage,
bark, flower or seeds and uncOn-
sciously becomes student of nature,
with the effect that it never alto
gether leaves him, and he is born
anew.
Next to a lack of uniformity our
chief fault in planting streets is
over-planting. A few years ago a
municipal architect of not was driven
down Magnolia avenue, Riverside,

what he thought of the avenue. he

as driving through a tunnel" Ever
since the thinning out process has
been going on until today you may
catch fine views of the distant noun
tains. Street planting should never
shut out all glimpses of the adjoining
or distant landscape. Wherefore, IL
is pertinent to remark thu III! street
tree planting should be IN the hands
of experts.
