HILLS HOOTING OWL AND
SAVES HIS CHICKENS

ATLANTA Ga, Oct. ga hooting
CIVIL that measured four feet and six
inches from tip to tip of wings has
Teen killed at Pine Log, in Barlow
county, by H. H. White, a well-known
citizen who found the bird in his hen
house, about to play havoc with his
chickens.
Shining light on the owl, Mr..
White shot it through the head. It's
revk was as large as that of grown
cat, its foot resembled the foot of some
strange quadruped, and it's beak was
more Ike cotton hook than anything
else the Barlow citizen could recall. In
the grip of bird of such enormous
size and powerful talons, it is probable
that the whole of his poultry popula-
ton would have met speedy death if
he had not heard the commotion in
time to kill the intruder.
A clown with circus bought the
body of the owl from Mr.. White and
shipped it to taxidermist in New
York to be mounted.

(This is the last of a series of twelve
verses on The Home.)
The sun was sinking in the west and
shadows stretched themselves
to rest
AS if they, too, were tired; most Of
the path lay back behind,
The rugged ways, the pleasant spaces,
too, the worst, the common
place, the best;
Back there were little mounds where
hopes were laid away to find
Rest from ambition; here and there
successes, like the gaudy toys
OF children had been tossed aside, for
crowding trials or unexpected
joys;
And ] had outstripped Labor on the
road, and only waited now for
my reward
Reward, not for the things l did, but
for the things l was, the store
L had myself laid up Out
through the sapphire mist, be-
yond the golden guard
Of sunset, in my dream I prepared to
srape in vision on that Farther
Shore
The Heaven waiting there.
Perhaps twas Memory who had
rome once more,
To light the lonely hour, perhaps
twas Prophecy, with Faith at
tendant, who
Entranced my eyes-I will not say; it
seemed not strange, that sigrI
spread out before
My 'raptured heart; l recognized in
higher, purer sense the true,
Clear elements which make the Home
on earth a sacred place, a ref
uge and source
OF strength, of inspiration, of i'm
mortal things that give
Eetrenal touch and meaning unto life
through all it's course
For heaven is but the After-Home
where we shall always LIVE.
