Susquehanna, Jan. 11. Delaware
anil Hudson Engineer Gardner has a
big tiger cut named Bob, wlilch In Ills
constant companion on his engine.
Winter finds the cat snugged ur on
the cushion of the cab, and the run
ning board Is his airing quarters. The
engineer and fireman and the train
men never forgot to brine lunches for
Hob, who Is a prime favorite all nlong
the division
For a week n big American eagle
has been seen In trees near a bend In
the road near State Line, and the
trainmen have tried flying shots athlm
without bringing him down. When
Hon has been taking his airing on the
running bourd, the big bird has eyed
him narrowly and greeted him with
loud Roreams and fierce flapping of
his big wings As tho train was
dashing nrunnd the curve on Wednes
day morning, Hob was on the foot
board, evidently enjoying the hrcczo
and the scenery.
Quick as a flash, the eagle dashed
downward from a big hemlock tree
and seized the cat, when a terrific
comhat puttied. The eagle used his
beak and talons and twice attempted
to rise with tho cat. Hob retreated to
the pilot and put up a gallant defense,
with teeth and nails, and for three
minutes honors were even, but the
heavier bird got a neck hold on the
cat and In a moment more would
have ben In the air with him, but for
the opportune arrival of the fireman,
won, ran forward, armed with an Iron
bar, nnd attacked tho eagle, which
dropped the cat and prepared to de
fend himself against the man.
His second battle was brief, for two
blows of the Iron bar placed him hors
de combat. While the fireman drag
ged the dead eagle to tho cab, Hob
followed licking his wounds and
purring In triumph. The eagle meas
ured six feet from tip to tip of wings.
Tt Is In the hands of a Scranton tax
idermist. ,
CHIEFLY OTHERWISE.
And that New Year resolution, Is It
binding yet?
The new century may be said to
be looking already like twenty cents.
"Don't let fortune get you down,
Snap your lingers at her frown;
Whistle when you want to howl,
Smile when twinges prompt a
scowl
Straighten up!"
The Argos Heflector thus tells where
lomor alighted: "Homer Ourthet had
ankle badly sprained by falling
ki the top of a corn cilb. Had It
seen for a. pig which he fell upon
Mght havi been severely hurt."

her troubles," said a Susquehanna
man.
"Quite right," replied the minister,
"A wife should nlways look to her
husband for sympathy. And do you
console her?" "Why," replied the
brute, "I laugh at her!"
NOVEL PICKEREL FISHING,
Two Susquehanna fishermen were
on the river at Lanesboro on Thurs
day, when they saw a mink come out
from a hole In the Ice on tho opposite
sido of the stream, Just below them.
It had a big pickerel In Its mouth.
When It drew Itself out on the shore
the fishermen began shooting at It.
i'I This frightened the mink nnd It
nroppeu me piciterei una disappeared.
Tho men secured the fish. It wns
still nllvo and uninjured by the mink's
teeth. It was twenty Inches long and
weighed four pounds.

Perunn Not a Curo-AU.
Peruna Is not a "cure-all:" It cures
Just ono diseasecatarrh. Hut since
catarrh Is able to fasten Itself within
the different organs of the body, fto It
Is thnt Peruna cures affections of thesa
organs. Hut wo Insist that Peruna
cures ono disease only. We claim that
Peruna Is the only Internal, scientific
remedy for catarrh yet devised. Wo
claim that catarrh Is a systemic dis
ease: that Is to pay, It Invades tho
whole- system. Wo claim that Peruna.
Is a systemic remedy; thnt Is to say. It
eradicates catarrh from tho system.
Catarrh is not a local disease; Pcrun.i
Is not a locnl remedy. Since catarrh
Invades tho system, only a systemic
remedy can reach It. This Is, In brief,
our claim In assigning to the dlceaso
catarrh our remedy, Peruna.
Hooker T. Washington, President ot
Tuskegee College, Tuskegre, Ala., says:
"I have used one bottle of Peruna
and I can truthfully say that I havo
never taken any medicine that has Im
proved me as much tin Peruna."
There Is no medicine that can take
Its place. Address The Peruna Medi
