r. Bowman's Jonahs.
I day while the Dr. was roaming on the
mountain side he discovered au eagle's
nest, at least they told him out there it
was an eagle's nest, containing two
young eagles 1?) He carefully watched
tue nest each dav while he remained
there and when he came back to I.eon
ileft instructions to have the young
eagles expressed to him at Uon when

exorbitant ex­
press charges and announced the eagles
head the parade when the Brvnn
jollification meeting was held. Soon
after the result of tne election was
known it was whispered around that
I Dr. Bowman's eagles were not the renl
genuine article. In fact it was openly
so'ne of the envious dot-lore
of the town that ihey were nothing but
common every day buzzards. All the
experts in the country were called in
consultation, including Dr 1-lvton
Schuyler Jennings and George i.lu.'k'
Zimmerman, but they were unable to
diaenose the case and decide the nation
ality of the birds. The matter tinallv
reached such a state that the whole
town and a good part of the county
were di\ ided on the question as tc
whether Dr. Bowman's birds were
eagles or buzzards. Dr. however nevei
lost confidence in the birds and con
structed an eagle house at a greati ev
pense, and went right along feeding
them lamb's liver and other delicacies.
But recently there was a change no.
only in the eagles but in Dr. Bowman,
as the eagles heads grew red so did
Dr. Bowman's face when the sub]ec.i
was mentioned and at last he was forced
to admit they were common every da
buzzards. Then the question arose of
how to get rid them. He tried to give
them away but no one have them.
When he made a professional visit awav
out in the countrv he would take
the buzzards out in a sack and
turned them loo^e miles from home, but
they always turned up at horn", by the
time he got back. There is a state pen
alty ol $10 for killing a buzzard and
after the enormous expense he ha« in
cured in raising theui the Dr. does not
feel like paying $20 for the privilege of
killing tbem. He will however pav 1
reasonable reward to anyone who will
rid him of his Jonahs. For further par
ticulars call on Dr. Bowman at his office
any hour during the day or night.
