Quarrel Of Buster Bear and King Eagle.

That was royal quarrel there
IN the Green Forest on that beauti.
ful morning. and the more dreadful
because OF that. Quarrels are dread.

SO when they are between those who
are looked up 10. Sammy Jay and
Chatterer the Red Squirrel are for,
ever Quarreling. and Il Is never nice
TO see or hear them. But bad as
one OF their quarrels Is. Il Is moth.
Ing compared to this quarrel be.
tween Buster Bear and King Eagle
You know. once upon a time, long.
long ago, Busters great.great-ever-
so-great'grandfa,her was king OF the
forest. and King Eagles great-sreat.
ever-so great grandfather was king
OF the air. And now here were their
greatgreat-eNerso great -grandchil.

him drop 1t. and then hadn't been
able 10 catch Il before II reached

That 10 the way with kings. He
had q very wholesome respect for
Buster Bears great strength and bis
great paws and claws, but he didn't
propose to give up that Ash without
Il struggle.
"Robber." he Kissed M he circfed
above Busters head watching for a

"Robher yourself" roared Buster
turning So AZ always 10 face King
Eagle. You're just great bully
and nothing more. You can't catch
fsh, and so you rob those who can. "
This was true. and IL didn't IN
prove King Eagles temper 20 no
told so. He called Buster all the

bad names he could think of. and
he made fun OF him because he was
no longer king of the forest. All
the time he kept wheeling and turn
ing just out Of Busters reach and
pretending TO dart down at him
Once he succeeded In striking Bus
ter from behind before Buster could
turn. and once Buster pulled out
couple of King Eagles white tall
feathers. Busters little eyes blazed
with anger. and there was savage
CLEAN In the eyes OF King Eagle.
And such a screaming and growing
as there was, II brought every one
within hearing to watch. IL Is
queer how quickly news OF such un.
pleasant things can travel. In a sur.
prisingly short time there was a
ring OF little forest and meadow
people peeping out from safe hiding
places. None OF them knew what
the quarrel was about, but all took
sides az a matter OF course. The
birds wanted King Eagle 10 win, an
the animals wanted Buster Bear 20
win. and all the time they wondered
what this dreadful quarrel vas
about.
Now as 10 the way with people
who quarrel. 1t wasn't long before
Buster Bear and King Eagle were
so intent upon their quarrel thar
they gave no thought at all 10 what
they we're quarreling about, and
little by little they got farther away
from the fish which had made al
this trouble. Suddenly King Eagle
remembered. Buster Bear was now
so far from where the fish had fal
len that IL he were quick he might
swoop down, snatch II and be away
before Buster could get him. Watch
ing his chance. he swooped ovei
Busters head and down to the place
where he had last seen tne Ash, hi:
great claws outstretched to seize II
There was no fish there!

Highest Point Ever Rseorded-Prop-

Oskaloosa, Feb. 2S.-The Des Moines
river, choked for, a distance OF six
miles by huge Ice gorge, rose Q foot
last night and today went above the
high water mark set In the big flood Of
1903. The river Is at the highest point
ever reached and grave fears have been
expressed. sSg3s ii NJ, 49, y 81
q The MahaslSa county supervisors
with scores of other workers are In tho
flooded district but are, poweriess tn
alleviate the situation. Dynamite has
been found ineffective in breaking up
the huge gorge. The porus condition
OF the Ice is said to prevent any shat
>tering thru the use of high explosives.
AS yet the back waters have not af-
fected this city, the gorge being above
the city.

from the branches Of tree late Sat-

the experience today. His hands and
feet were frost bitten.

Washington, Feb. 2s.-A favorable
report on the Administrations bin to
repeal the free sugar clause Of the tar
iff law which would become operative
May !, was authorized today by unan-
lmous vote Of the house ways and
means committee.
The majority. report reiterates that
that the repeal Of the clause is neces-
STATED by conditions due to the war
and estimates the proposed saving in
revenue at $4,000, 900 annually.
The republican members, while
voting for the repeal, probably will
state their views in a minority report.
Fleet to Insure Peace.
The navy general boards conception
OF the needs Of the United States as a
naval power were outlined to the house
naval committee today by Rear Ad-
miral knight president of the navy
war college. ......, .-.
In formulating the policy that the
Eavy should equal the strongest afloat
by 1925, he said the board had in mind
the establishment OF two fleets, one in
the Pacific powerful enough to over
come any enemy there, and the other In
the Atlantic. where 1t would be exceeded
IN strength only by the British fleet.
A total force slightly in excess Of the
British fleet, he said, would accomplish
this purpose and insure the country
OF 80 out Of 100 possibilities Of interna-
tional trouble.
