Quaint Features of Life
iU
la Bird a Gam Flakier.
N a terrific battle with an im
mense blue heron near Hur-llnr-on,
N. J., three men came
oft victorious, but not until
the big bird hud with its pow
erful wings and vicious beak thrice driven
off the trio. But for the fact that a heavy
xteel trap. Into which the bird had stepped
while seeking a dinner In the ponds of the
Koandak goldfish hatchery hampered Its
movements. Injuries far more serious than
turn cluthea and scratches would have
been meted out to Its conquerors.
Charles Parker, Hrysn O'Donnell and
.lames O'Donnell thought to capture the
b'rd alive when tin y saw It ensnared In
the tiap. but ulckly changed their mind
lien the bird accepted their challenge.
.' l ie evm with the daunting trap to spring
i u I fret In the air on Its long legs and
'.U vl:h Its great beak strokes that spilt
the slhks lth which the men attacked It.
th heron put up a spectatular battle until
t'arktr. arming himself wltb a ten fooj
pole, was able to land two blows which
broke the bird's lung neck.
Brought to Burlington the heron was
found to measure six feet two inches from
tip to tip of Its wings, the largest speci
men ever seen thereabouts. When killed it
had eaten .several big Japanese goldfish,
the owners of which say It satisfied its
hunger at a cost of S100 a day.
Ultra SUfrr tw Masbaad.
Referring to the HI b leal story story of
Abraham and Surah, Henukaha, a Win
nebago sguaw, defended a matrimonial
tangle in Im Crosse, Wis. Henukaha Is
the wife of Small Horse, a Winnebago.
1U sring him no children, she gave her
sister. Winning Antelope, to him to pro
vide an heir. The first child was a daugh
ter and the second a son.
After the second child had been born to
Small Horse and Winning Antelope the
latter fell In love with an Indian in Ne
braska and married hlni".
Fearing that she -might also claim th
children by Smsll Horse, an agreement
was signed by her giving the children to
Henukaha. This settlement was agreeable
to all parties concerned, but the local au
thorities Intervened and brought out the
strange defense found In the Hlble, with
Henukaha's comment:
"It is the white man's religion; It Is good
enough for me."
In the Bible story Sarah failed to pro
vide an heir to Abraham, and gave Abra
ham her sister.
Passing; of a Heavyweight.
Mrs. John F. Hum, wife of the president
of the village of Graying, norUi of Stand
ish. Mich., died In that town recently. She
was the largest woman In northern Mich
igan, and the largest In the state, as far
as Is known.
She weighed 800 pounds. The coffin and
rough box neighed 4a0 pounds. It was
three feet six Inches wide, two feet six
Inches deep, and six feet nine Inches long.
It required ten pallbearers, all big men,
also the removal of tha fence In front of
the house to get the coffin on the rtjneral
car.
Mrs. Hum is survived by her husband,
two daughters. Mrs. Cora M. Felling of
Grayling, and Mrs. Bessie Wetx of Payton,
O., and two sons, Hurry and Clyde, both
of Grayling. Her children all are of aver
age size.
Bojr Foretells Ills Death.
A remarkable cane, in which Lawrence
Rohrbaugh, a lfi-year-old boy, is believed
to have had a premonition of death, which
was speedily verified, is reported from Ulell
Rock. Pa.
Recently, It Is said, the boy, who had
always been bright and cheerful, became
subject to fits of melancholia, In which he
would cry and say that he would have to
die soon. A week before he was stricken
with spinal meningitis and on September i
his prophecy was borne out by his death.
Side Lights on Busy Life
(Continued from Page One )
announced with that expolsive energy of
his, and he did.
Work Haifa Vacation.
Mr. Harritnan found It extremely diffi
cult to lake a real vacation. Even when
he formally stopped work and sought rest
hi aoliva mind was still at work on plans
for his railroads. A few years ago he
took a trip by automobile through the
smaller cities of Europe. On his return
he told his associates that the automobile
had suggested to him only railroad ideas.
During the whole trip he was thinking con
stantly of the adaptability of automobile
motors and running gear to railroads. The
first thing he did on his return was to
order seven types of self-propelled cars
built for experimenting on his lines. That
"vacation" was one of the busiest periods
-of his life.
"What Impels your enthusiasm for rail
roads? Is it love of money?" he was
asked.
"No. not at all; It Is the economies of
the study that Is Intel estlng. It is simply
the spirit which drives the man to under
take a proposition and bring it to a suc
cessful conclusion. That Is tlte secret of
anything In life. I could not give up the
struggle If I wished to."
On another occasion he replied petulantly
to a similar question:
"Ambition to be a financial sovereign?
I'd give it all up tomorrow If I could."
When the time came to give his work
over to others at the doctor's orders he
spoke of it with deep regret.
Mr. Harrlman had a sens of humor as
well as supreme confidence in himself.
One a newspaper that had made some
bitter editorial attacks on the railroader's
methods sent a reporter to ask him who.
In his opinion, were the greatest two
railroad men In the world.
"I'm one." he flashed black, "and the
other, In his own estimation. Is the editor
of your paper."
Just before the big drop in stocks, two
years ago, a friend who had Just returned
from Europe dropped into Mr. liariiman's
office to see hlrn. The conversation turned
on the market, and the friend said that,
he thought he would buy some slocks.
Harrlman swung around In his chair, fu
cussed his heavy glasses upon the other's
face and said, gulxxlcally :
"Have you any money?"
"Ves," said the frit nd.
"How much?" said Mr. Harrlman. The
friend told him. Harrlman was silent for
a moment, then he turned and looked
across the street toward Trinity cemetery.
With an abruptness that imt to swUofe
tha subject he said:
"Do you ever read th Blblal
"Yea"
"Familiar with it?"
Tea."
"Well, 'that r!lo-.v who went and hid his
talent may not have been the fool he has
always been credited with being. There
are times". It u enough. The friend
hid his talent.
Mr. Haiiliuun was once asked what he
thought was worth while In this world
for a man do do. His reply was:
"My Idea Is thst a man should try to
make his children better, give them larger
oppottunlttes, do what he can to make
the next generation a little better off than
this one."
On one occasion Weston, the elderly pe
destrian, had started for an over-continent
walk. It breezed Into the mind of
some freak-loving editor to canvass tha
successful business men of the country
who had pam.il the prime of life and ask
them If they thought they could accom
plish such a Journey as the one v.eston
had set out upon. A reporter reached Mr.
Harrlman and propounded the iiit-sllon to
him. Mr. Harrlman looked at tlte man for
a aaoment and then snapped out:
Tes if I put my mind on It."
, Mr. Harrlman did not believe there wgi
much of anything he could Dot do
s was
"4
put his mind on It
