Fight With q Phantom.

An English naturalist writes the fol-
lowing about the maternal instincts Of
the common brown or tawny owl:
An amusing adventure befell friend
OF mine while he was returning from q
service held in a small country church.
He was q big man and in his time had
been q clever boxer. While walking
alone down a lane by the side of q
group of trees he received a singing
blow on the back of his head, and his
hat was knocked of, to disappear in
the darkness. He Immediately pulled
OF his coat, threw it on the ground
and called upon his unseen assailant to
"come on
He tried to penetrate the darkness
to locate his opponent, but could neither
see nor hear any one. Then, while he
was feeling around for something to
hit, he received another staggering blow.
The whole thing was so uncanny that
he picked up his coat and made tracks
for home.
Next day he went to the spot, saw
his hat lying on the ground and was
STOPPING to pick 1t up when another
onslaught was made upon him. But
in daylight he was able to see that
it was all caused by q furious brown
owl that was doing her best to pro-
tect her young.

alphabetically not - through any
Gesires Of his own.
Peters troubles began when he missed
his ship at Cork some time ago and
slowed away on the s. s. Bellhower
On arrival here he promptly was de-
ported on the 8. s. Winona County by
United States immigration ofncials
Arriving In England, British authorities
refused to let him land and sent him
back
Peter and the Winona County docked
here yesterday and American authori-
ties again refused to let Peter leave the
ship. He claims he was born in Scot
land and American off1cials rule he Il
a British subject. English authorities
declare he Is an American seaman. And
while two nations argue over his status
Peter, temporarily at least, has become
man without . country.

a complete publication could be issued

space Is left for the insertion Of such
items of news as may be cleaned by
the radio. The publication Is quite
satisfactory and it Is eagerly looked fol
by the passengers each day.
