The interestinq Loon.

The looE is one of the most beautj. full and graceful of the wild watev fowl rivaling the wood duck in the markings of it's plumage. On the Northern lakes there is no bird that can dive quicker or swim faster. Awk- ward and clumsy on land, but so active and alert is it in the water that it can dodge bullets. '"The loon is n cousin to the b" lyer," says John Bur roughs. ''It has the feathers of bird and the fur of an animal, and the heart of both. It is as quick and cunning as It is bod and resOlute. When disabled so that it can neither dive nor fly, it Is said to face it's foe, look at him ir tie face with its clear, piercing eye, and fight rcsolutely till deatl,. The gunners say there is something in the WailinS, piteous cry, when dying, al. most human in its agony.

Lewis Says Nation Faces Day When It Must Pro-
 tect Possessions

] Washington, Feb. 21.-Hope of dis. posing of the railraod bill in the sen. ate before adjournment today virtual ly was abandoned this afternoon, be
 cause of delay on amendments. Plans
 were made to continue the debate
 tomorrow.
 The principal amendments propos- Jed to reduce the rate of compensation fix the time for government control
 to a definite period after the procla-
 nation of peace and concerned wheth-
 CT the president or the interstate com merce commission should make rates. ] Declaring that German propaganda had already succeeded in stirring up opposition to the United States in Rus sia, Senator Lewis perdicted that if Germany succeeded in keeping hold on Russia her first act would be to urge Russia to seize Alaska. "The day is ahead of us," he said, "when the Unitd States will also be compelled to fight for Hawaii and the Philippine Islands. Unless means are taken to provide for the prompt trans portation of .trops and supplies across the continent which would be accom- plished by a s-continental gov ernment-owned carrier, we will find ourelves powerless to protect these possession.
 Because l see the necessity for government roads for national defen- So l conceded the necessity of this bill. With all the evils opponents have claimed it would cause, the evils are small compared to the good that would come from these government operated roads,
 Human events, Senator Lewis said, were changing forms of government, with state powers rapidly disappear ing. He predicted the time would come when only municipal and fed eral governments would remain.
 "Times and events seem to be re- pealing the United States constitu- tion," said he.

Greater freedom and accuracy in speaking and writing can be acquired by studying dictionary few minutes devoted to the study of words and their meaning each day will in short time result i'll great benefit to anyone who will put that practice 10 test.

Army Eaules of NapoIeon.

Before Napoleon's time 1t had been the custom For armies to carry huge, unwieldy flags mounted on poles which, while they afforded a rallying point for their corps. also drew the en- emy's fire. Napoleon revived the an- clent symbol of the Caesars. The Ma poleonic eagle itself was 8 inches in height and 9 inches across the wings. It stood on q brass block 3 inches square and weighed three and a half pounds. Modern colors, cumbersome as they are, are as nothing compared to the old ones, which were as diffl- cult to hide as the big drum.
