Wyoming Man Has a Thrilling Fight With an Eagle. - - - Swinging like a pendulum at the end of a two-hundred-and-fiCty-foot rope against tho side of a five-hundred-foot cliff, with Jagged rocks far below and nothing but one bare hand with which to fight oft the fierce on slaught of an Immense eagle whose neat he was attempting to rob this was the awful predicament In which Arthur Williams, a young man of Riverton. Wyo., found himself one day early In June last year. With the welfare of her nestlings at stake, the great bird attacked the despollcr of her home with Inconceivable fury and only to a lucky chance does Will iams owe his life. Riverton is a new town on that portion of the Cheyenne and Arapa hoe Indian reservation which was opened to settlement last year, and In the country thereabouts mountain vlions, timber wolves, coyotes, eagles, bears, etc., can be found. I Before the Indian reservation was Iformally opened to the whites for set tlement the flockmasters were per mitted to graze their sheep over the jrouptry, and it gradually became iknowu among the sheepmen that over an Lost Well Canyon there were a 3alr of eagles who made a specialty f devouring young lambs. Try as ihey might, however, the shepherds ere unable to get a shot at either of (these great birds, and for several years they were the terrors of the district. Hunters with their Winchesters pften lay in wait for the big birds, toping to get a shot at them, but with the proverbial keen eyesight of uch creatures, the eables detected he nimrods and never came within gunshot when the nest was being 1'atched. During the spring of 1908 the two Id eagles were more successful than ver in raiding the flocks of the Iheepmen, and accordingly a special effort was made to exterminate them. To that effort Arthur Williams owes he appalling adventure which befell im. 1 Williams and two friends made a trip out to Lost Well Canyon to in vestigate the chances of trapping the eagles in their nest. A ride of eight toilea over rough mountain trails brought them to the canyon, half way up the perpendicular side of which they saw the horizontal cleft in which the wise old birds had built their flest. At the foot of tbt cliff directly Wider the cleft was a pile of bones the remains of lambs thrown out of ne nest by the eagles after they had ean picked clean. I "We ain't any nearer that nest kwn here than when we were at ipme," remarked Williams to his mrades. "Nothing, but a balloon r an airship can help us from down jpre. Let us go up to the top of the Jiff and see what we can do from ere," I For two hours the three young men Vuggled to reach the top of the fountain. A wide detour was neces Iry, but at last this was accom lifihed and they stood on the brink 1 the cliff, half way down which the Sleg' nest had been built. "There's nothing to be clone from here, either," paid one of the men despondently. "Wo might Just as well go back home; we shall never reach that nest." While the men stood and talked from far down below them there rose the shrill, piping cry of young birds. "Young ones!" said Williams. "I wish we could get them alive; they would be worth money to us." "No use to bother; you'll have to take it out in wishing," said the third member of the party. "Come on, let's go home." "All right. I'll go home now, but I'm coming back to-morrow after those birds," said Williams. The next day found the three young men back at the cliff. They had mapped out a scheme whereby they hoped to get the young birds, and had brought with them 750 feet of stout rope, far more than enough to reach them from the top of the cliff down to the bottom of the can yon. To make quite sure of this, position and tearing savagely at the laid hold of the rope and quickly dis appeared over the side, sliding down ward,, using one leg, around which the line was wrapped, as a brake to keep himself from going too fast. Across his shoulders was slung a tout bag In which he intended plac Ing the little eagles when he secured them. In one hnnd he carried a stout stick for use In an emerirnncv tho j other hand grasped the rope. I Down, down he wpnt. nni lupf in front of the eyrie. . Then he slipped one leg through the loop at the end of the cord and turned to look Into me uark Hole, where he could here tho eaglets "talking." Slowly he swung around, bracing his foot against tho rocky wall until he faced the cleft and could give his attention to the nest. Suddenly, screaming wildly -vlth rage and fright, out from the dark cleft came the old mother bird. Like a stone from a catapult she flung ser self at Williams' face. Dismayed by the suddenness of the attack, Williams recoiled, his foot slipped from the wall, and his body spun around and out of reach as the huge bird went past him. He did not escape altogether scratchless, for one claw, life a knife blade, cut across his cheek, and in an instant the blood was flowing from a cut half an inch deep. Only a few yards did the old eagle fly, then she wheeled and with the speed of an arrow shot once more at the man hanging at the end of the rope before her nest. This time Williams braced himself and with his stout stick ready In his right hand awaited the onslaught of the big bird. His left hand grasped the rope. The eagle struck Williams on the head with her wing and at the same moment Williams lashed at the bird with his stick. Such was the fury and strength of the creature, how ever, that the stick flew from Will lams' hand and went whirling through space to tho bottom of tho canyon far below. Pecking, clawing and striking stunning blows with her terrible wings, the big bird beat the air in front of Williams face, holding her "Hold me here until I got these lit tle birds," he shouted feebly. "I came after them, and I'm going to have them." With that the plucky fellow crawled back Into the niche, put the two little eaglets in his bag, thrust his leg through the loop, grasped the rope with both hands and was safely lowered to the floor of the canyon. Within a few feet of where he landed lay the old mother eagle. Williams staggered over to her and gave her a kick. To his amazement she moved, stood up on her feet and flew away . , One of Williams' companions came sliding down the rope and reached him Just as the injured man fainted from loss of blood and excitement. The punishment he had received was terrible, but fortunately his eyes had escaped Injury. After casting off the rope the third man made his way down the moun tain to where Williams and his friend were. They managed to stop the flow of blood, and between them got the wounded man on his horse and LTH THOUGHT Fofi rouix COII KEEP voir.

Then the rope was hauled back and a tight loop made In one end.' This was paid out over the edge of the cliff until It hung directly in front of the eagles' nest. The other end of the rope was hitched around a con venient tree. During all this time the men kept close watch for 'he old eagles, but saw nothing cj them.

The Consul-General of Japan at New York, Mr. K. Midzuno, In a read able article In the North American Review, describes "Japan's Crusade on the Use of Opium in Formosa." When Japan, at the close of the Chlno-Japanese War, found herself In possession of the Island of Formo sa, she discovered that she was con fronting a very serious problem. For generations Chinese inhabitants of the Island had been using opium; and realizing the deleterious effect of the drug upon the population, the Japan ese Government felt that something had to be done to put an end to its use. It would have been Inhuman to compel those who had been smok ing opium all their lives to discon tinue the habit. The Government de termined, therefore, that Its effort should be directed toward preventing the advent of new recruits Into the ranks ot the smokers, and it provid ed for the registration and the li censing ot those who should be per mitted to use opium. The results have been most gratifying, according to Mr. Midzuno, and the prospect ia that the opium habit will disappear entirely from the Island upon the gradual disappearance, In the course of nature, ot the older portion of the population. Mr. Midzuno says: "As statistics indicate, there are to day 127,000 opium smokers in For mosa, and nearly, If not quite, all are among the very aged, who have been used to its effects for many years. It Is very seldom that new converts to its use are found since the Introduction of the crusade. "Not what to do but how to do It is the question that confronts those who would forever eliminate the ob noxious and the hurtful from For mosa. The present need Is rigidly to enforce registration, and to keep es tablished a license system for those addicted to the use ot opium, thereby confining its use to those who could not subsist without it. For the pres ent generation and those oncoming, the superior advantages for the de velopment of a higher civilization that are everywhere being gradually introduced, aided by such precautions as the so-called gradual prohibition i Can it be possible." she said to herself, that Mrs. Weston is giving a children's party when her little girl has not been in her grave a month? It is shocking! How can one be so unfeeling!" To confirm her suspicions she paused to listen a moment longer, and, if possible, to catch a glimpse of what was going on InRlde. Then the front door opened, and against the bright background of light two fig urea appeared. A mother, with her little girl, was Just coming away. The peering black figure by the steps Instantly recognized the woman as one of her acquaintances. "O Mrs. Murray," she began, in some embarrassment, "Is Mrs Wes ton really giving a children's party to-night, so soon after Nina's death? Is it possible that she has so little feeling?" The street light cast its revealing radiance on Mrs. Murray's tear. stained face. "Don't say that!" she answered, gently. "You don't know her. I only wish that you or I could ever i hope to attain to the height of her unselfishness or the depth of her love and faith." "I am still wearing crape, and my child died two years ago," tho woman in black replied, in a tone of aelf-ap-proval. "Is it really true that Mrs. Weston is giving a party?" "Yes, It Is true," Mrs. Murray an nounced, with a defiant lift to her chin. "It was Nina's birthday party. The child had planned for It months ago. She had made little gifts for all her friends, and was full of the 1 wish to share her happiness with I others. I "Mrs. Weston was simply broken- I hearted when Nina died.
