A Fight With a Hawk.
Laurens, Dec. 30. ? John N. 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.

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."

At Belgrade and Below.
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

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

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.
