A BOY'S EYES TORN OUT.
Farmer's Son Fiercely Attacked by a
. ' . .' Wounded Bird and Its Mate. -
Martin E. Hirnson, the youngest son of
,,'Oliarles Wunson, well-to-do farmer
living near Willow Sprinns, is certain to

an encounter with a pair of Jarge owIh in
a atretch of woodland near the- drainage
canal on Sunday afternoon, eays tne
Chicago Chronicle. Young Simeon is
nearly 14 years old and his parents
granted bis request Sunday when he
, aeked their consent to a hunting trip
down thfl Ddeplaines river. 4 .
After leaviug home he 'followed the
river south until lie reached a 'patch of
woodland between Willow Springs and
woods he raw a huge owl perched high in
a tree and brought it to the ground with a

A ' . ' ' '"..
the angry bird oft but " before he tjonld
succeed another owl, apparently the mate
of the iojcired one,' appeared and with
a free swoop fastened its claws iu the
boy's uplifted - arm and with its beak
destroyed the right eye at a single stroke.
Tbe lad, fought desperately for bis
life and succeeded in - freeing himself.
With the gun he quickly dispatched the
injured bird and finally succeeded in
beating its infuriated mate off. ' ''
Blinded by blood which , flowed from a
dozen cuts Irnd almost crazed by pain aod
excitement the boy roacbed a neighbor
ing farmhouso where his wounds were
dressed and he was sent home. '
, A Inspiring Scene. , i V
A paspenger on the State when it met
with its lfttle accident the other night
tells the Whatcom Revoille that tbe
scene was an inspiring one.. Wheu tbe
crash came everybody was asleep, and
everybody thought that the boat was
sinking. Tbe passengers got out of
their rooms clothed in night wear and
life preservers, f Several men rushed
frantically around in the cold wind vainly
trying to get a shirt on over a life ; pre
server. Two fir thrfa hd to be held to

the boat luined round and steamed back

Blest Be the Tie that Binds.
Garfield township, Seward county,
Kansas, cast only two votes at the recent
elec kn. One of tbe voters cast a straiubt
republican ballot, while the other voted
the populist ticket straight with the
exception of one county office. ' Garfield
township has 20 Inhabitant, eight of
whom are voters. Tbfe are four republic
cans and four populists. On election day
three of the populists paired off with three
republicans, and six did not vote.' The
other republican wished to pair off with
the remaining populitt, but tbe latter
refuse 1 as be wished to vote for one
republican candidate. There was a tie
on all township office?, and tbe candi
date bad to cast lots to determine who
would serve.
Churning Done in One Minute.
I have tried the Lightning Churn, you
recently described in your; paper,' and it
is certainly a wonder. '. I can churn in
less than one minute, and tbe butter is
elegant, and yon get considerably more
butter, than , when you use , a common
churn. I took the agency for the Churn
bera and every, butter maker that eeej it
buys one.- I have sold three" dor.fin and
they give the best of satisfaction I know
I can sell 100 in this township, as they
churn so quickly, make so much tncwJ
butter than common churns and araVf
ebeap. Some one in every townsKp can
make two or three hundred dollars sell
ing these churns. By addressing J. F.
Casey & po St. Louis, Mo., you can get
circulars and tail lniormauon so you can
make big money right at home. I have
made 89 in the past two Weeks and I
never 6old anything before in my life.

Beata the "Stolen" Jewelry Dodge :
Tne approach of winter always brings
what might be called an avalanche of
street beggars, A new dodge is for Some
young follow to approach you on the
street with four pennies in his hand and
ask for another to make five to get a cup
of coffee, for he had nothing to eat -tince
morning.' No person ouUide of a miajr
can harily refuse such a lequest, and so
t ha 'begger gets lots of coppers and nickels,
too,' for a person who has no coppers will
say : "Here,s a nickle," and would scorn
to ask for the chttnga. It is said that
the begger reaps an easy harvest, about

A Churn that Churns in one Minute.

for an hour before butter would appear,
so when I heard of a churn that would

only could I churn in a minute, but I got

common churn. Thia is very important
