A SAVAGE CANARY.
One Of the Very Latest of Wild Stories
About Well known Animals.


About Well Known Animals.
So many stories have been told recently
of battles between tigers and snakes,
wildcats and elephants, eagles and aIli-
gators and Goldfish and wild hogs that
tle following accurate description of an
encounter between a tomcat and Ca
nay bird cannot fail to be interesting:
The tomcat and the canary were the
property of al animal dealer on the west
side who has long had a reputation for
vcracity. The canary was noted for its
ferceuess. It is a female bird about
years old with bright yellow feather
ing. The tomcat is quite white, with
Foi.r legs, ard weighs-or rather weighed
| about 12 pounds.
During the morning it was noticed
that the canary seemed unusually saw
age She paced up and down her cage
in great rage. gnashing her teeth and
glaring at the poor cat, toward whom 1t
| turned cut she had developed fierce an
| tipathy.
The keeper secured the door of the
cage, as he thought, firmly, but during
paroxysm of temper the canary
smashed the fastening and was free.

around for some means of escape, but
there was none, the door of the room in
which the carnivorous animals were kept
being locked.
The proprietor OF the menagerie could
do nothing. Spellbound he watched the
uneven contest, fearing all the time that
the fury Of the canary bird would be ex.
pended on himself.
With d piteous moan the wretched
tomcat felt the talons of the canary bird
sink into his head. He raised himself
and tried to fight her off. but the bird
parried his every blow and feTcely
pecked at his eyes
Once the cal seized the bird in hi
paw, but she got away from him in |

She returned to the charge and rendered
