, Last Sunday there was a game

ond best.
There was considerable of a stir
in town on Tuesday of last week on

docket, but the case was settled be
fore coming to trial. John Oben-
chain, Ora Hayes, Wm. Chambers,
Jr., Wm. Perry and H. L. Ish were

course a dinner. Those present on
the occasion were, J. J. Fryer, wife
and three daughters, Mesdames
SinClair, Thomas, Geo. Morine, and
Martin, of Upper Little Butte. Those
who could not quilt sewed carpet
rags, and it is needless to say that
we bad a way up time. -
Wednesday of last week there
was a surprise party and candy pul
ling at J. J. Fryer's. .- About forty
of the neighbors met and pulled
candy, danced, etc., until after
midnight. Those present report
having had a jolly good time. And
on Saturday night a crowd of ourJ

prise) and brought the sugar, mus:
cians, etc., and you can guess the
result. Candy, music, dancing, play
mg and in fact everything that goe:
to make life a pleasure.
J. P. Moomaw is digging a wel
on his place. His sons, tfenj, and
Joseph, have it down about twenty
five feet, most of which distance re
quired blasting. Recently Beni
was at work at the bottom of the
well when a rock came loose from
the side and in falling struck him
on the" side of the head with such
force a3 to render him unconscious.
When he regained consciousness he
called for help and was drawn to
the surface where an examination
revealed no broken bones. After
the blood had been removed from
his face he returned to his work at
the well. A young man with the
nerve and ambition of this one will
never die in the poor house. And
not very easily any place else; eh,
Uncle Dick? Ed.
Geo. W. Heckathorn and wife
were the guests of your correspond
ent last Sunday, and as usual the
subject of The Mail came up, and
Mr. H. remarked that he did , not
take it because he could not shake
off the county he had been taking,
although he had paid for it and ordered-
it discontinued more than
once, and I read to him the law on
the subject, see Hill's Code, page
1829, and thy result is his family
will read The Mail for the next
ear, and the wife went home happy
for she says she would rather have
The Mail than all the other papers
in the county, because it has such
host of correfnondents, in tact if
people want to know anything they
go to The Mail to look for it. To
show the advantage of a little notice
put in the Eaglets that (eo. Hoyt
had found a coat on the road. The
paper was published on Friday and
the next day 1 met a man and ne
asked where he could find the coat,
and today IT sent an ad of a farm to
trade from J. P. Moomaw, and the
result will be in a very - short time
the trade' will be' made.

Queer Performance of Feathered Renldeot
of Somali Land.
The honey bird, of which we saw sev
eral during our travels in Somali Land,
is well worthy of mention as a natural
curiosity, says u writer in the Nine
teenth Century. It is a little gray common-looking
bird about the size of a
thrush. It first forces itself upon the
notice of the traveler by flying across
Ms path uttering a shrill, unlovely
cry. It will then sit on a neighbor
ing tree, still calling and waiting for
him' to follow. , By short, rapid flights
the bird will lend its guest on and on,
tiii after. awhile the traveler notices
that the bird has stopped its onward
course find is hanging about among a
certain hnlf-dozcn trees. These being
visited one after another, and careful
ly examined, the search will be re
warded . by finding a nest of bees in
one of thert. The probability is that
there .will be honey in jt. I have never
known the bird mistaken. .It is a Blat
ter of. honor .with the natives to .set
-aside a good portion of honey for 'the
bird. Altltough -this action of the
honey bird is an established fact of
natural historyi it is none the less un
accountable, and it would be interest
ing to know' whether he ever tries to
entice quadrupeds also to assist him
in obtaining, his much-loved honey.

Si. CHI LD ERS,
No cat in Maine probably had more
need of her nine lives than did one in
a Monmouth, store recently. The large
oat bin in the rear of the feed store,
holding an even car load, had just been
tilled, when the cat, chasing a mouse,
went down head first between the par
titions of the bin, eight feet, to the
floor beneath. There she remained on
her head for 13 days, or until, the oats
having been removed, she was discov
ered. Tabby is now alive and well and
just as eager for mice as ever.

Mr. I. Ten llosch writes from Ro

snying-: Whenever I see a tree in the
embrace of a poison ivy, I take my
knife and cut the vine. On the grounds
of a few friends, and on my own. I
have cut vines from one nnd a half to
two and a half inches thick, sometimes
at tin; root, and sometimes as far up ns
I could reach, nnd then tearing down
the stems, have uprooted them with
my hands. I have done this at all sea
sons. This spring I have already cut
out two dozen ivies, and have pulled up
many others by the roots, when my
hands were torn with blackberry
thorns, but I never had a trace of poisoning-.
A friend to whom I mentioned
my immunity said: 'Of course you are
not poisoned because you are dark.'
Since then I have been thinking that
in the cases of poisoning which had
come to my knowledge, the victims had:
been light-haired. A yonnger brot her
of mine, vho is very fair, has been
severely poisoned."
