sudden futter Of wings and big eagle
descended, caught the cat in its talons
and flew away with it.
The captain said the bird had been
lowering about the schooner for two

paid no particular attention to it. JUS
as it began to get dark the eagle swoop-
ed down and grabbed its prey.

"The democratic party has proposed
this doctrine for IA years and in l9oo
incorporated it in its platform, quite IN
contrast with the distinguished gentle
man, who appears to have Just made
the discovery that this doctrine is cor
rect and progressive and just. In his
expressions regarding railroad regula-
ton, the income tax, swollen fortunes
and publicity OF campaign contribu-
tions, Mr.. Roosevelt has merely fol
lowed a well-established democratic
lead. For years democratic platforms
have been clamoring for legislation ID
this direction"
