AN owl STORY.

Showing the Tyrannous G6eet ct Habit
Upon . Wild Animal.
An English publication tells this In
teresting story Of an owl:
A vague figure appeared out Of the
clouds. travelling against the wind to-
ward the spire and looking more like
Z ragged piece Of newspaper whirled
about the heavens than any living
thing. 1t was . white owl, and after
watching him for some time came
to the conclusion that he was trying
to get to the vane Of the spire. A very
IDLE ambition It seemed, for. although
Ae succeeded again and again In get
ting to within . few yards Of the
point aimed at, he was on each occa-
sion struck by q fresh violent gust and
driven hack to q great distance, often
quite out Of sight In the gloom. But
presently he would reappear. still
struggling to reach the vane. A crazy
bird!
But I could not help admiring his
pluck and greatly wondered what his
secret motive In aiming at that windy
perch could be. And at last, after so
many defeats. he succeeded and
grusped the metal crossbar with his
crooked talons. The wind with all Its
fury could not tear him from 1t, and
after little Mapping he was able to
pull himself mp. and then, bending
down. he deliberately wiped his beak
on the bar and few away.
This, then. had been his powerful,
mysterious motive-just to wipe his
bcak. which he could very well have
wiped ON amy branch or barn roof or
fence and saved himself that tremen-
dous labor. This was an extreme In
stance Of that tyrannous effect Of
habit on wild animal. Doubtless this
bird had been accustomed after de-
vonring his first mouse to ny to the
vanc, where he could rest for few
minutes. taking general view Of the
place. and wipe bis beak at the same
time, and the habit had become 30
strong that he could not forego his
visit even on 50 tempestuous aa even

SPEED RECORDERS
ON B. 6 0. TRAINS
COmpany'S Purpose is tO
Maintain Uniform Speed
Rates on Service

In order that its locomotive engi-
neers may maintain a uniform rate Of
speed and operate their trains with
the greatest possible comfort to the
travelling public. the Baltimore e. Ohio
Railroad is installing speed recorders
in passenger engines used on through
trains. The dial of these speed record
ers is placed in the engineers side
Of the cab. in plain view Of the man
who operates the throttle. and indicates
to him the speed OF rne train at all
times. In addition to imparting this
information, the recorder registers on
a paper chart the speed al which a
train is operated at every point on a
division, and. upon arrival at termi-
nails. the chart is replaced and sent to
the division superintendent. so that
he has before him a daily record OF
the speed at which trains are oper-
ated IN his territory.
The work of equipping the engines
with speed recorders has been begun,
under the supervision of J. ID. Harris,
general superintendent of motive pow
er of the Baltimore & Ohio. and Will
be completed as quickly as possible.

WANT TO ABOLISH
RIOTOUS CAMP

Because of the trouble each year
at Friendship Campmeeting for col

tion has been started in that section
to have the camp suppressed.
Each year there are several fights
OF shooting ARRAYS at the camp, and
this year is no exception. One victim
of a shooting there named Gould is
now in the Homeopathic Hospital,
and another man shot at the camp
was treated recently by Dover ply
sician. A few years ago there was
a murder there.
Concerning the disorder there the
Smyrna Times says editorially:
1T is unfortunate that camps, es-
pecialy colored camps, and we have
reference to the Mt. Friendship (col-
ored) gathering, near Clayton, cann-
not be conducted without the usual
outbreak of lawlessness. The fault
seems not TO be with the camp Off
cials and worshippers. They preserve
order to the best of their ability and
wish 10 be let alone in the worship

with the outsiders, the lawless, world

class which annually causes disturb
ances and brings the camp into dis
repute.
For this reason there seems to be
a growing sentiment against holding
woods meetings even among the bet
ter class of the colored race. and has
given impetus to a movement to have
the Delaware legislature enact a law
which win prohibit these camps alto
gether There is much for serious
thought and consideration in a move
of this kind despite the fact that some
good is derived from campmeetings,
but when the good influence and the
bad influence are compared closely,
II is question whether some other
means of worship would not work
better than these annual woods out

TONOPAH MIDWAY IN BIG
NEW BODY OF RICH ORE

Every since the erosscut on the $50
foot level of the Midway mine was
started for the purpose of picking up
the vein exposed in the Wine from the
535-foot level, says the Tonopah Miner,
considerable interest has been centered
on the work, as it was the general opin-
ion that a big body OF ore would be en-
countered. This crosscut was sent out
to a point directly underneath the
winze and a rise put up, making con-
~nection with the Wine last Wednesday.
From the point of connection a cross
cut was started with the object of de-
termining the width of the vein at that
point. This crosscut has already ex-
posed IL feet of quartz, with no hang
ing wall in sight, so at this writing,
Friday night, it is impossible TO even
estimate the strength of the vein. For
the first 5 or 6 feet the quartz carried
