EAGLE FIGHTS A HUNTER.

Charles Keuch, of East Litchfield,
Conn.,, who has hunted in Maine and
in Texas, had an experience recent
ly which surpassed anything he had
known in his life before.
AS he was feeding his pigs he
heard his pointer dog. bowling with
pain and on turning saw the animal
being lifted from the ground in tho
talons of a bald eagle. Keuch at
tackled the bird with trowel, where
upon the eagle dropped the dog and
turned its attention to the man.
For ten minutes Keuch had to
work hard, but finally succeeded in
getting in blow on the head which
stunned his antagonist, after which
he killed it. The bird measured eight
feet six inches across the outspread
wings and six feet from head to tail
. Up to, a few years ago there was q
law against killing eagles; but it was
repealed at the instance of Ston-
ington man who. said the birds were
dangerous down his way. This is the
first recorded instance in Connecticut
where a man has had to kill one in
self-defense: , ~:.=.-

STRANGE SEA TALE

A strange tale of the sea was given
by the captain of the British steamer
Kilburn, which arrived at Yokohama
on October 4. When the ship, laden
with coal, was passing down the Red
Sea on her way to Japan, she went
ashore on the Arabian coast, where
she was ransaclIed by, about 800:
Arabian pirates. They made away
with the personal belongings of; the.
crew, the ships furniture, even some:
of the portfolios, riggings, tackles;
everything that was moyable-after
which they took the craW captive, eS-t
cept the captain, OF whom they de-:
manded heavy ransom. The cap-s
tain, to save his head, parted with.
about $500. Later a few of the Britt.
ish sailors escaped from the pirates
and applied for protection to ths'
Turkish government, which eventual-
~ conducted them to a place OF safe
ty. Subsequently the Turkish SOW
ernmant dispatched Warshfp to- the
scene Of the wreck, but the pirates
had long since deserted the place.

The beast first overlook the fellow
with the red muff1er and, while the
tramp, shrieked in fear and agony,
caught him on its horn and hurled
him into a snowbank, which, luckily
for him, hid him from the bull, broke
his fall and was cool and soothing
for his lacerated wounds. But the
bulls fury was not sated. 1t chased
the other tramp, who was running
like a deer, caught him as he was
climbing a fence and gave him a
boost so forceful that he turned a
somersault into the next field.
Of course-the tramps did not know
that. the "unprotected' widow raised
the bull from a calf, and that she is
the only person in the neighborhood
who ventures in the same field with
it. Mrs. Stannard tends the bull to

as Mary's little lamb, but let man
climb the fence into the pasture and
the beast charges him like demon.

to a physician at Madison, who sent
him to a New Haven hospital.-New

BULL PROTECTS WIDOW

when two tramps approached her.

Mrs. Stannard; Il am the boss here. -

tramp, leering at her. We'll, hustle
around and get lis something to eat

"All right" said she; lust wait a

height there, until he reached the
house across the street. Sitting mo-
.tionless, watched him with interest.
Barefoeted, he wore only a pair of
cotton trousers, while, a turban was
twisted about his fez. The moon
light played over the muscles Of his
supple body and glinted silver cres-
cent from his crooked Arab knife.
1t was not until directly opposite that
he saw me-. For a second he stood
motionless, then like flash dropped
below the parapet of the house and
disappeared.-C. w. Furlong, in

One Reason For High-price Paper.

Waco, Texas, is not large in popu-
latior, but it is great in the good
sense of its citizens. All it's mer-
chants, manufacturers and dealers
have. signed. an agreement not to
throw away any more money in fake
advertising in circulars, booklets and
picture cards. They have learned from
expensive experience that the only ad-
vertisements which show profitable re-
suits are in the papers read by fami-
Hes New Workers have had the
same experience, but are not yet edu-
Gated up to the Waco wisdom. No
wonder the price of white paper is
so high when millions of tons of it
are wasted in fake advertising that
is used to light the kitchen fire.

player thus questioned must quickly
rise and as quickly answer africa. J"
In the case of the answer being
tardily given or incorrectly given the
boy Or girl in the centre of the circle
has his or her opportunity to get
seat by answering promptly and
correctly. Thus the slow answering
one must take the centre of the
circle and await his turn to tree"
some one. The boy or girl holding
the centre of the circle is said TO be
''up a tree" and only gets down upon
answering the question that the
speaker has asked of one of the play
ers who is either tardy in answering
or responds with the wrong answer.
And so the game proceeds, each
boy and girl in the circle being asked
where some certain kind of tree
waves. Just as long as the speaker
does not run out of tree names the
game can continue, but he must not
ask for the location of a certain tree
more than once during the game. If
he does he has made an error and
must take the centre of the circle,
being then cup tree" In this case
the player at his right assumes the

monty named in the game are the will

rubber, olive, rosewood, date, palm,
fig, orange, hemlock, walnut, chest

trees being named the answer should
give the name of the State where
they are most abundant.-Busy Bee.

principle:

HUNG WITH. BOY FROM TREsTLE


While walking on the trestle of
the. Erie Railroad at Riverside, N. j.,
forty feet above the Passaic River,
twelve-year-old Edward Berger missed
his footing and fell between the ties,
striking the steel framework in his
descent to the icy water.
AS the boy fell Chris Naumann, of
449 Main street, with friend, Peter
Brueck, started across the trestle on
their way from Hawthorne to Pater-
son. They saw the boy struggling in
the river and Naumann ran to the
nearest pier and clambered down the
steel work. At the base of the pier,
which is barely wide enough for a
footho1d, Naumann took off his over
coat and threw one end to the boy,
who was clinging to a cake of ice.
The boy caught the coat and Nau-
mann hauled: him to sthe pier. He
was exhausted and unable to-. help
himself, and Naumann, who is big
and muscular, put the boy on his
broad back and started up to the top
of the trestle. He had first instruct
ed Brueck to see if a train was COM
ing. .Naumann reached the top of
the trestle and had started to walk
across with the boy on his back when
Brueck began waving his arms wild
ly. An express, which Brueck saw
he would not be. able to stop, was al
most on the trestle when Naumann
had lowered the helpless boy between
the ties with one hand; and was hang
ing himself to tie with the other.
The express roared above them,
and following it as swiftly as his legs
could carry him came Brueck, who
marvelled at his friends escape.
Brueck helped Naumann and the boy
back onto the. trestle.
The two men carried Berger to his
home in River street and left him
with his mother, not stopping long
enough to tell the story of the boys
double peril and. Naumann's gallan-
try. The boy recovered enough to
tell it himself.

For the
Younger
Children:

another 1t is great fun, for unless
you are careful your shadow is apt
to bob up unexpectedly and will be
stepped on before you know it. We
played "shadow-tag" very success
fully on a roof garden, where two
sheds gave us the necessary shade
and an open space of sun in between
made the shadows of the runners
very distinct.
In cold weather, when you need
to exercise, and don't know exactly
what to play, it is a good idea to run
races and let one of. the children find
prizes for the races. The prizes may
be anything she finds at hand-the
more ridiculous the b9tter-but it
makes the race more interesting to
have them, particularly if they are
presented with a speech. 1t is well
to let all the players have prizes,
though of course the winner receives
the first prize.-Elizabeth Webb, in

UP A TREE.

The game called "up a tree" is
great sport and may be played on a
lawn beneath the trees or in a par

circle, all the players save one being

is elected to stand in the centre of
the circle and wait his or her chance
(Which is found through quick wit
and tongue) to procure the seat of
one of tthe players.
A speaker" is chosen to conduct
the game, which goes as follows: The
speaker is seated in the circle and,
turning to the child on his right,
asks the question, "Where do palm

A GOOD TRICK

We all know that when we cover
drinking glass quite full of water
with a sheet of stout paper in such
manner that not single bubble
of air remains between the liquid
and the sheet, the paper will cling
to the rim of the tumbler, On account
of the pressure of the atmosphere,
closely enough to enable us to turn
