TRAVELED WITH LIVE EAGLES

Chinese Traders,” Apparently Without Fear, Carried Filerce Birds, One

During a journey from Peking to Kalgan, in China, some American engineers were favored by a most extraordinary sight. i Near a beautiful temple they came upon a great company of men, cerrying What seemed to the Americans the mowt unheard-of cargo—each man two eagles! All, men and eagles alike, were seated upon the ground when the strangers first caught sight of them, and the men sald they were taking the birds into Mongolia to recover thelr plumage, and that they were kept in Peéking for the purpose of making eagle-feather fans; but other people told the Americans afterward that the birds were belng taken to catch hares and other game for their masters, and possibly also to catch more eagles. Probably both stories were correct. - Presently the men got up and went off carrying their burdens, about forty very large eagles and forty smaller ones. The smaller birds sat each upon a basket dangling from the man's shoulder pole. Each basket was apparently full of something or other, the Americans could not see what, but the larger eagles sat on the poles at the other end, and it was amusing to see them turning round and balancing themseives and generally settling themselves comfortably before setting The men seemed not to have the least anxiety lest these flerce creatures, with their powerful - beaks, should each take a nip out of the cheek nearest them as they went along. “Littie Pitchers,” Eto. _ ~Little Jeanle gaszed long and thoughtfully at the young man who was calling -.on her grownup eister Maude, : L “May I climb up on your knee, Mr. Greene?” she Inquired at last. “Yes, of course, dear,” smiled the young man, who wanted to make a hit with the family. “Want to pull my hair—eh 7" . k . *No; I want to see if I can find that word,” replied the little girl. v “What word?” asked the visitor, in bewilderment. “I heard Maude say this morning that if a man ever had the word ‘{diot’ written all over his face that man was youl” — - Old Book on Witchcraft, = Joseph Gianvil's “Saducimus Triumphatus,” or “Full and Plain Evidence Concerning Witches and Apparitions,” published in London in 1682, was sold a fortnight ago for $5lO at a book sale in New York. It was owned by Dr. Frank P, O'Brien and was bought by Lathrop O. Harper. The book belonged to Cotton Mather and was annotated by him. Mather used it in making his witchcraft accusations and in writing his “Wonders of the Invisible World,” which was published in 1698. The book was thought to be among the world's lost books until two years ago when it was found amid the discarded Junk of an attic. :

Giad But Confusing New Year.

“I wish you a happy first of January, Nineteen Hundred and Twentyone!” exclaimed the person who Is genial but precise. 5 “You have been going through that rigmarole over and over again,” protested his wife. “Why don’t you say ‘Happy New Year, and let it go at that?"

“I want to keep myself reminded of the change in figures. I never write the date correctly until the middle of February.” ‘ :

Japar's Off Output Decreases.

Recem advices from Japan indicate there has been a decrease in produc tion of petroleum of about 10 per cent, compared with the first half of last year. For this reason an increase in price of 10 to 15 cents has been inaugurated for all kinds of oil, exeept naphtha. Accumulated stocks and a decrease in demand by the rubber industry have served to keep the price of this product low. ‘ Where the New Books Begin. “What sort of a novel is 1t?” “Old-fashioned.” “That so?” : . “Yes. The story ends that they were married and lived happily ever after.” “What's old-fashioned about that?” “The -newer authors usually start off their books with the wedding day, and work the old triangle racket through to the finish.” Australian Wool Industry. The capital invested in woolen manufactures in Australia amounts te about £3,000,000 ($18,500,000), at pre war prices, and it gives employment te between 5,000 and 6,000 people. One company was recently organized al Melbourne with a capital of £500,000 ($2,250,000), about two-fifths of which represents English and the balance Australian interests. | , Superiative, | Rogers was walking with d¢n absent» minded friend. | “Yesterday,” he said, “Mrs. Fulsome half recognized me.

FAME FOR DE SOTO OAX

Tampa Tree, on General Miles’ Camp, on Honor Roll of the American

The De Soto oak, nominated for the hall of fame by J. E. Worthington, has been accepted by the American Forestry association of Washington, which Is compiling the recod of trees with a history. During the war with Spain Gen. Nelson A. Miles made his headquarters In Tampa for a time under this tree, but the history of the tree goes back much further than that. "This large spreading oak tree, o 0 legend says, was the resting place of De Soto on his first trip to Florida. The tree has a spread of 110 feet with a helght of approximately 80 feet. It Is one of the handsomest and bestproportioned trees In the city. “In the old Indian legends of the landing of the Spaniard reference Is made to meeting places . under the great trees and It may well be that this tree was one of them, says the American Forestry Magazine In making the announcement. At lcast legend makes the clalm for the old tree and has for many years. “In 1526, as associate of Cortes, at that time ruler of Mexico, Pamphila De Narvaez, was made governor of Florida. This daring fortune hunter, in company with 200 followers, halled ' from Cuba and finally landed iln Tampa bay. The expedition proved disastrous, as the hostile Indians set upon them and soon they were nearly annihilated. “In 15389, Ferdinand De Soto was appointed governor of the provinces of Florida and Cuba, and with about 1,000 of Spain's most wealthy and adventurous young men set out for the conquest of the new world. “De Soto, who just prior to his appointment had returned from a suc cessful expedition to Peru, was filled with ardor and desire for new flelds of adventure. He landed on the shores- of Espiritu Santo (Holy Springs) bay. : “There are sald to have been conferences with the Indians under this tree before they and the cavallers fell out and De Soto began that march which, after three years' time, landed him on the banks of the Mississippl, in whose waters he was finally laid to rest.” HAD GOT HIS ROUTES MIXED Negro Soldier’'s Amusing Explanation as to How It Was He Got ‘His Wound. : A medical corps officer chanced upon a negro acquaintance of civil life one day in France. “How do you like the army, Mose?” he asked. : “'S'all right so far, cap’'n,” repllied the negro, “but Ah don’ know how I'm going to like it when dem Germans shoots at me.” : - “Don't worry about that,” replied the officer. “All you have to do is zigzag.” And he demonstrated. The next time the two met, the negro was in a hospital. . - “What's the matter with you, Mose?” asked the officer, - “I ain't sure, cap'n, but Ah think I must have been ziggin' 'bout de time Ah oughta been zaggin'.”—American Leglon Weekly. HAD USE FOR HIS MILLION Zeb Would at Least Employ It to Good Advantage; as Far as It _ Would Go. A party of baymen gathered round the stove in a little oyster shack on the Great South bay started the old, old question as to what they would do if they suddenly came into possession of $l,OOOOOO. Some bought great ocean-going yachts; others endowed schools, and one even offered to contribute his to help out the government. ~ The question finally came round to old Zeb Banks, noted as the ne'er-do-well of the fishing neighborhood. “And now, Zeb, you've beéen keeping pretty quiet,” one of them sald. *“Just what'd you do if you had a million dollars? “Well, I don't know ‘zactly,” re sponded Zeb reflectively as he spat at the stove. “I reckon I'd pay it on my debts, 's far as it went."—Saturday Evening Post. - T — 5 The Woman Pays. - Through the long summer hours she had done her best to let him see she liked him.

Prominent Hog Ralser Says Prices Charged Are Unwarranted—Makes His Own Meog Food, With Better Results

“That he is al' through paying fancy prices for stock foods and hog remedies and that L. s raising some of the best hogs ever placed on the market” was the statement made recently by E. H. Beckstead, well known hog raiser and authority on live stock. Mr. Beckstead's hogs are the envy of his neighbors, and have “topped the market”™ for several year in lowa. He states that for years he bought high-priced hog foods and hog remedies, but he is all through paying extravagant prices for what he can make himself. He states that what the hogs need are minerals, and tells the secret of his wondrful success by explaining that he takes about five pounds of ordinary mineraline (which is pure concentrated minerais and cost only & couple of dollars) and mixes same with enough bran or filler to make a handred pounds. All hogs, and especially brood sows reguire mineérals as they keep them free from worms, and in the pink of condilion, and are essential to the hogs growth and a well balanced ration. This inexpensive mixture placed in a sncltered box where th? hogs can get at it as they need it, wili produce far better results than any high priced so-called stock foods. Send two dollars to The Mineralirc Chemical Co. 1638 North Wells St Chicago, 111, and they will forward you by prepaid parcel post, enough mineraline to make a full hundred pounds. . ) (Ady.) 48bhit
