Gol 'dcn, of the western part of the coun-j ty, had his hands painfully scratched \ and lacerated one day this week by a large Hawk which he had wounded ,by shooting the bird to the ground. When M>. Golden attempted to bag his game the hawk suddenly pounced on him and in the tussle the bird inflicted severe cuts and scratches on the hands and wrists of the farmer. In beating back the savage attack of the frenzied fowl, which was fight ing with claws and peak with tell ing effect, gun barrel and heavy hunt ing shoes of the hobnail variety were brought into instant and vig orous actionl The bird of prey by actual meas urement Was fifty-four inches from tip to tip. When a warrior of the Hilvaros, a savage tribe of Indians in Eastern Ecuador, desires the wife of another member he merely waits in ambush and kills the husband and then takes possession of the wife.

But Wrrrt fra W. B. Da via Ruin of Aggotoin, on th? Danube. (Fr?piu-?d Wy Ik* NUIm?I QMgrokl* ?? ol**y, WukUittn, D. O.) Always important In Kuropoan life, the Danube has become even more eo since the World war ha# added to the countries for which Ita waters furnish a highway. And once more its Impor tance is enhat)C#d by the probability that the Dardanelles and Che Boapo run will become permanently interna tionalized. From the BJaok forest to the Black sea, over a course 1,800 mikes In length, the Danube has long been a chain upon, which romance and l^story have vied with each other to hang Interesting traditions and occurrences. Geography, too, has done its share, and although the Volga exceeds its rival In length, and although the Rhine has had better press agents, the Dan ube is large enough and beautiful eno\igh to rsnk in Interest with the' great rivers of the world. There was a time when the Danube was symbolised ? by an old-fashioned waits. But since the World Avar be gan nothing but a hesitation typifies the place the river has held In th<* eco nomic life of the countries through which it runs. It has been leas the highway und more the barrier than in prewar dnys. Not yet does it sci-vp to bind the various nations through which It passes Into a friendly and co operating group. It has h?cn ofllclally open t<> slrlps of all nations since the. forming of the Danube commission, in 18T)0 and the . various states Interested long co-operated to Improve the navigation facilities, especially In the lower reaches of the river; but political conditions have doi|e much to weaken the economic link which once bound Llnr and Viennn to the great grain shipping center of Bralla, to which occon-golng vessels can steam, and to the Black sea ports themselves. Charming villages, beautiful mead ows, picturesque hills crowned ? with ruined castles, princely palaces, eccle siastical piles and two of the wood's most fascinating capitals are strung along the lengthy and winding river. Thriving Industries raise their smoke stacks beside the stream whose legend ary color Is blue but whose true tint varies from a dirty green to a muddy yellow; M<5?e Tragic than tTie en croachment of factory smoke has been In late years the sad sight of count less chimneys from which the life breath of industry seemed to have ex pired forever. Through Wonderful Region. Near Its source at Donnueschingen the rtver passes between the <nistle j which gave Its name to the late ruling family In Germany and a war monu ment to the Ilohenzollem men who , fell In the Franco-Prussian war. Far ther down It passes through the once proud capital of Austrla-IJungary, where the fine government, buildings sta-nd to the despairing inhabitants as a mocking reminder of better days, nnd beside the Prater, once a deer park nnd later a pleasure garden noted for its Viennese gayety. Rt 111 farther along its course, Just after entering Czechoslovakia. at its ction with the March, there is a ?ering cliff spired with a monument erected to celebrate one thousand yenrs of Hungarian nationality. This lb Chechoslovakia terrltorj* now, and there two years furo the Stars and Stripes were draped on the occasion of the visit of a large group of ('zech Amerlcnns to the newly freed land of their fathers. Itratlslava, now Czechoslovakia's river port, was once the city in whose dignified cathedral the Hungarian kings were crowned. The boat station there revealed, a short time npo, the changes which history has wrought. Over the center of the binding the present name w-tos given, bnt to the left one could see most of the letters of the German name "Pressburg" and to the rlpht there was the Hungarian rame "Posrony."

From Zemun, ?#nce the last Hunga rian port on the Danube, a abort trip between low hanks brings one to Bel grade. the capital of the new kingdom of the Serbs. Groats and Slovenes, where the. steamer rounds the base of tin- ancient fortress which dates bock to the time of the Celts, the Itomnns mid the Franks, and comes to Its dock a little way up the Save, which here enters the Danube from the south. About fonr hours' sail below Bel grade the wide plhlns give way to hilly country where the Trahsylvanlan Alps curve down toward the Jumble of mountains which extends to Monte negro and Greece. It is In this region that the main obstructions of the river occur. But the most famous obstruc tions and the finest scenery come at the Kazan defile and the "Iron Gates," where the river has collected a grue some toll. At Itustchuk the railway traveler from Itumafila ferries across a broad* and sluggish stream to continue his journey to Sofia and Constantinople; and here the banks of the Danube are lined with huge barges. Below Sllls tria the river curves to the north and passes through Rumanian territory throughouU44*4? rest -of-tts -length. ~At~ Cerna Voda it is (Tossed by one of the longest railway bridges In the world, the last of tho many bridges which i cross the stream, some of which are now destroyed. This Is one of the most remarkable examples of its kind of engineering and was built at a cost of $7,000,000. It has 08 spans, one of which, over the main stream. Is a cantilever more than 000 feet long. The bridge has a height of 120 feet above low water, and the piers go down to bed rock 100 feet bo low the water surface, making them , nearly one-half as high as (he Wash ington monument. I Bralln and the Delta. Rraila, <2.ri mil os from the three main mouths of the Dudabc, is a port for the grain nnd produce of n rich agricultural region. In prewar days Its wharves teemed with life ?nd Its huge grain elevators bulged with tbe rich products of Wallachla and Do brudja. which has seen crrat develop ment since the Russians gave It- to Rumania Instead of the more valuable end fertile tracts of Bessarabia.

W*rU wnr t*rrrf?r*A Wealth. Kobt. Quillen in Fountain Inn Trib une.) , . Wealth is not a mstter of bank balances but tempera ment. The man who has all that he desire# in no poorer than the richest man in the world. In every village in the land are a few old gentlemen who are reputed wealthy but are in fact very poor. They wear shabby garments, live on coarse fare and deny themselves every luxury and pleasure. True, they have in thejr strong boxes cer tain mortgages that represent sums of money, but the money is being spent and enjoyed by those to whom it was loaned. They have certain bits of paper, alBO that declare their own ership of certain sums., of money placed in the bank; but the money isn't in the bank. It is working ev ery day, buying luxuries and pleas ures for other fojks who are supposed to be poor, and every Tom, Hick and Harry carries it in his pocket. Those who are poor have an idea that thoftC who are rich spend great sums for clothing and food and be cause of their ability to spend much are uniformly happy, But many rich pinch pennies now live ah they did in the days of their poverty. l*ong practice of thrift robbed them of the ability to enjoy apendinj?, and their wealth brings them little that is de nied the poor man. Any poor man can be an rich as these by the simple process of im agining that he has a million dollars in the bank. The imaginary million will do him no good, for he cannot spend it; but neither does the real million benefit those close-fisted rich, for they will not spend it. The trutli of the matter is that few men get more out of life, than their boaVd and clothes, and if wealth is measured by the comfortH and happl* ness it brings the owner, the poor man is little poorer than ,the rich j ?ne. When the poor man' has surround; I ed tlu ee eggs and a strip of ham, ho I would eat no more if he had the in j .coble of John D. And nothing money ! can buy is worth as much as the , pQor man's ability to digest his ham arid eggs in comfort once he has t hie in aboard.
