STORY OF AN OLD OWL.

Kept in captivity the owl used to
get out of sorts at times, Just as little
children will; but instead of giving it
jam wrapped around powder, its
owner sent it for trip on the water
to cure it. 1t was fastened to the back
of duck, which was then driven into
a horse pond. The owl was no sailor
and rs often as it stuck its claws into
the duck, as it frequently did in its
terror, the duck dived and gave it q
good drenching. This made the owl
more alarmed than ever, and caused
it to dig its claws all the firmer into
the duck, and this, Of course, only
led to its being ducked again and
again. Every time the owl came out
of its bath it expressed its surprise by
loud hootings. Then in case of acci-
dent to one or other bird, or perhaps
both. the owl was unbound. After
shaking its feathers as dog shakes
its coat, it slowly fell into its usual
state of solemnity But it was always
the better for these excursions on the
pond. LITTLE Folks.

TEST OF FRIENDSHIP.

The hardest test of the friendship Of
a pet animal is to call it away from
its food while it is yet hungry-not
order it from its meal, but merely call
it. A real friend Of dog, for in
stance, will not have to call dog; it
will come without calling. whether
eating or not. Ii a gentle master has
been away for week the demonstra-
tions Of Joy will be of most lively
character. But the approach Of a
cruel master makes dumb creature
finch and shrink away in fear and
trembling, and caresses are received
with bowed head and quivering boey.

Edgar, who had fallen asleep.
and, after promising Molesquin to re-

At that moment, when the door

ASTONISHING RESULT
From a Democratic Poll Of Hi
nOiS.
A Majority of at Least $4,000
Votes for the Democracy in the
State--Altgeld's Election Assured.
And Bryan Electors will Have an
Overwhelming Surplus Of Ballots.
What the Figures Show.

Chicago. Sept. 1e.-With great secrecy,
but great energy, the Democratic State
Committee has been making a canvass
of Illinois. 1t is about completed up to
Hare. and the result has astonished the
most sanguine. of the Chicago Democrats
10 whom the facts have been conflded.
The committe has cOntidentlally IN
formed Chicago leaders that o conserva-
tive estimate based on actual lists OF
names assures a Democratic majority OIL
go 900 outside Of Cook county and $4,000
In Cook county-e5, GOO on the total vote.
The list Of names include all former
Republicans who have Joined Bryan ana
Sewall clubs or have in other ways de-
clared their intention TO vote for silver
and all Democrats who have bolted or
are suspected Of an intention to vote the
boiling ticket. The $1,000 majority is
the net result of comparing the two lists.
In confirmation of the Democratic es-
Inmates. a number of Republican admis-
sions are making things look blue for
Mckinley and black for John r. Tanner
Il is absolutely certain that prominent
Republican leader from Southern Illinois
said emphatically last week that Tanner
was already beaten and the Republican
electoral ticket in danger. He said that
Te Republican campaign managers pri-
vately conceded Tanners defeat, but
hoped to pull the electoral ticket
through. on the supposition that Alt
geld's personal strength in Chicago con-
siderably exceeds the strength Of the
National Democratic ticket.
