ADRIFT ON ice FL0E
Wild Deer Fights Battle For Life
With An Eagle.

Tarrytown, n. Y, Feb. Is. -
Adrift in the middle of the Hud-
son river on a foe Of ice which
was being carried down the
stream by the tide, a wild deer
late yesterday engaged IN battle
for more than an hour with an
eagle, which lowered over the
animal. Thousands Of persons
were attracted by the rare spec
tacle, and as darkness drew on
the deer was still floating down
the river and the attacks of the
giant bird were becoming more
frequent.
Hundreds of passengers on
New York Central trains wit
messed the strange sight. The
deer seemed weak from cold and
hunger, and several times the
animal stretched out on the ice
as if to rest, but each time it
was aroused by the eagle.

THE DRUMMER'S SERMON

Certainly will make a few
remarks" said the cigar sales
man, who, because of his solemn
garb had been mistaken for a
man of the cloth. Ascending
the platform, he said.
Men are much like cigars.
Often you cannot tell by the
wrapper what the filler is. Some
times good old stogie is more
popular than an imported cele-
brity. Some men are alright in
the show case on display, but
are great disappointnents when
you get them home. No matter
how fine a man is eventually he
meets his match. A twofer Of
tens puts on as many airs as a
fifty-center. Some men never
get to the front at all except
during campaigns. Some are
very fancy outside and are Sc
lected for presents. Others
have a rough exterior but spread
cheer and comfort about them
because of what is inside. But
all men, as all cigars, good or
bad, two-fers, stogies, or rich
or poor, come to ashes at last. 4"
