DIDN'T EVEN LOSE ONE LIFE
Carried OF by Eagles, Cat Kills Both
Birds and Gets Home Compar.
atively Unhurt.

Some days ago two large eagles de-
scended upon the town of Milo and
carried off Biff, the big Persian cat
belonging to Mrs. L. H. Ryder at the
Silver lake hotel. No one ever ex-
pected to see her again, but Monday
morning she reappeared outside Of
Mrs. Ryder's window apparently but
little the worse for her experience.
Some Of the long fur about her
throat was missing and there were
several scratches on her back, but
she was purring contentedly and has
taken her customary allowance of
milk and sardines to-day without the
slightest difficulty.
The final act in the drama was un-
folded this afternoon when Dave Hut
Crimson arrived here from his Bee
Pond camps with the bodies of two
eagles which he found in the Ten Mile
Shanty road about five miles from
here. The head of one of them had
been clawed terribly and the throat
of the other had been torn open.
That they both met their death at
the hand of the cat there can be NO
doubt. But how she managed to des.
patch them without herself sustaining
serious injury, is complete mystery
which even Bill Mcbride, the Houston
mountain bee fancier doesn't attempt
to unravel.-Kennebec Journal.

JOY IN BAD MUSIC
MR.. MAcWHIMPLEToN EXPLAINS
HIS THEORY.
Freedom from All Rule He Thinks
Probably Is the Reason it Gives
Him Peasure-Out of the
Routine.

Next to a very good band" said
Mr.. MacWhimpleton, Il like best a
very poor one. There is something
about the music of very poor band
that always pleases me greatly. l
don't suppose it's the discord exactly,
nor yet the mere tumult; l guess it's
the general riotousness of it, its free
dom from all rule.
That's 1t, particularly, guess, its
general emancipatedness, its complete,
ecstatic, triumphant freedom from
every form of restraint. Life COM
monty is such a constant. uniform
struggle within hard set bounds that
any sort of freedom seems delightful.
I'm this very matter of band music,
now, you take the music of good
band. How long have its members
had to struggle and work to produce
music like that? How many weary
hours of practice, blowing the same
notes over and over and over again
until they have reached the desired
perfection of execution? And we like
that music? Why of course we do;
we love 1t. 1t is soothing and CRATE
full, suave and beautiful, 1t is alto
gether lovely; but 1t Is music with
gives on it.
But now you take the music of the
very bad brass band! How different!
No slavery for you there, but freedom
quite untrammeled; the whole band
out of tune and no two instruments
in harmony, each player with his eyes
glued to his own notes and playing
as he will, intent only on his own per-
Torrance, the bass horn man blowing
out thunder In massive If somewhat
irregular chunks; the B fat cornet
fairly decorating the atmosphere with
desultory sections of resonant barbed
wire, the baritone finding his horn
plugged now and then, but blowing
the note plugs out finally in a bunch
that may not match up very well with
the rest of the players, but that shows
he's got the horn clear anyway.
Hear now the curious convolutions
of unrelated sound produced by the
trombone man; and listen, will you
listen to the piccolo! And is not this
the star of all the Founders of the
sheepskin, the deadly earnest man
that beats the big bass drum? And
where could you find another such ag-
gregation? Nowhere, probably; which
to some folks may be pleasing, but
not to me.
Il love to hear them play. 1t soothes,
refreshes and stimulates me; it makes
me take joyous view; it is some
thing out of the routine; a few mi
nutes, at least, of something totally
| absolutely different.
Mine is not the hardest life in the
world, and still 1t is, like most mems
lives, more or less of a grind, and at
times long for freedom, and when
thus crave relief from care, from
all the hard and steady grind of life
with its set and studied ways, why,
then l find freedom and joy unmeas-
ured in music unstudied and unbridled
in the blessed uproar and chaos of a
very bad brass band"

Now the Turn of the Men.

Mr.. R. A. Long of Kansas City says
that women who are now leaders in
the church and have performed that
work in the past are not going to do
it in the future. They have gone
crazy over bridge parties and society
events of that sort, he says, and it be-
hooves the men to take up the reins
Of church work. Il believe there
has been no time when 1t was more
necessary for men to work in the
church than today" he said. He
thinks that with men interested in
mission work the evangelization of the
world will be easy.

MRS. M'KENZIE's INJUNCTION.
Nashville American.)

Nashville American.)
Who can say that the widow of the
famous English surgeon, DR.. McKen'
zie, was not right when she laid this
Injunction upon her children and close
relatives:
When l die l hope my children
will wear as little black for
mourning as possible. White or
mauve l like, but not black. And
| hope they will not shut them
selves up, but go out among
their friends and to places of
amusement. l am not afraid of
them forgetting me, but l want
them to be happy"
This fine old lady died recently in
London. Whether the enjoined will
follow her wishes, expressed shortly
before her death, is of course uncer-
tain. They may feel that the con-
ventialities, the growth of centuries of
sentiment, demands the wearing of
mourning and abstaining from world
ly amusements, but there are millions
of people who would think none the
less of them if they threw custom
and habit to the winds and did just
what the old lady asked them to do
