"oLD ABE" THE WAR EAGLE.
Pride of Wisconsin in the Civil War and
for Many Years After.

Some of our boys and girls have prob
ably heard of "Old Abe" the war eagle.
This is his story, and when you hear it
YOU will be sure that no other eagle
ever had stranger history.
He was stolen from his nest by some
young Indians in 1891 Then he was sold
by the Indians for bag of corn. The
man who bought him kept Old Abe until
he was quite large, then he sold him to
some soldiers Captain Perkins, who
bought him for the mascot of his com
pany, named him "Old Abe" in honor Of
Abraham Lincoln. He went into battle
many time.
At first he was afraid, then when
the battle grew more terrible, he seemed
to forget his fear and would shrek and
flap his wings in anger Soon he would
stand right by the cannon and he actu-
ally learned to like the noise and excite
ment The bullers cut his feathers some
times, but he came ont Of the war safe
and sound He escaped once or twice, but
must have loved the soldiers dearly,
for when they displayed the colors and
waited quietly for him he came back As
soon as they learned that he would re-
turn to them the soldiers let him out
when they could for exercise They di-
vided their rations with him, and no
amount of money could purchase Old
Abe, you may be sure.
After the war the now famous eagle,
known everywhere, was presented to
the state of Wisconsin. He lived for II
years in the capitol and thousands of
people came to see him.
One day five years after the war, some
soldier comrades went to the capitol to
paw him a visit. One of them gave the
whistle Old Abe knew so well in war
days. Instantly the bird was all stten-
ton. He knew the soldiers at once let
them pet him and fonde him and thrust
