Tiers old shotgun double loaded, the
wary old owl didn't come near. Sandy's
father said he smelled the gun.
I'll get him yet" said Sandy, with
determination.
That very afternoon a bright plan
popped into Sandy's mead. He cut long
pole in the woods, sawed Oft the top

Il, and set IL up firmly in a corner OF the
fence near the barn. On top of 1t he
placed a steel rat trap, already set, and
fastened by long chain to the post be-
low.
Next morning he was awakened by n
terrific commotion in the chicken yard.
He rushed outside, and there was Mr.

had come along early, and thinking that

CHICKEN AND CANARY,
A FIRM Friendship That Was Begun In =
singular Way.

singular Way.
One day last spring, in purchasing n
lot OF fowls from her marketman, q
lady in Nashville, Tenn, got one little
bit OF n chicken that was almost too
small 10 eat, and which made its escape
through the wires OF fhe coop and began
TO chirp and cry about the yard. The
lady made no effort TO recapture tho
little thing. thinking II would be better
Oft running free about tho place. Buth
soon became evident that the chick had
been too soon taken from parental care
and was totally unable to provide for
itself. Two whole days passed, during
which IL neither ate nor drank, though
the lady tried every means In her power
20 provide for It's welfare. The CHICKEN
simply pceped and dropped till the lady
gave up all efforts and left the little
thing to die, which no doubt il would
have done right speedily had II not been
rescued in the following singular man
ner:
II CHANGED that the lady has pes
canary of which she is very fond, and
70 which she devotes much care and at
tention. For instance, II Is her invari-
able custom in mild weather TO turn
the bird out OF his cage for certain
portion OF each day, letting him have
his bath in sunny spot on the back
porch. So that morning when the little
chicken was so nearly giving up his
life for lack OF food and comfort, IL hap
pcned that the canary was turned out OF
his cage for his hour OF freedom in tho
sunshine. The lady was watching to
see that no cats came around, and pres
emily she saw the canary trip down tho
steps to the lawn, where the little
chicken was crying. For n moment tho
two little feathered things stood and
looked at each other inquiringly. Then
the bird chirped and made dab with
it's beak. The chicken chirped and
made dab. too, and pretty soon the
two were chirping and dabbing away
nightly. What the chirps and dabs
meant OF course we may not know, but
presently the bird came hopping up the
etcps, the chicken following behind
Making his way 20 the cage. which sat
omen on the floor, tho bird went I'm.
chirpinQ and dnbbing all the while.
with the chicken following after, and
presently the two little friends were
eating and drinking together.
That was the beginning OF the singu-
lnr friendship. which continues still un-
nbated. The chicken stayed in the birds
cage with him till IL was too large 10
get in the door. and then n roost was
placed for IL close 20 the cage hook, 80
that they might be near each other at
night. 10 is no uncommon sight TO sec
the canary throwing seeds down from
his cage 10 the chicken, and N tho
chicken finds n worm he brings IL I'm tho
house and chirps under the cage till the
lady lets the bird out when the friends

SANDY BROWNS OWL.
Caught by Means of a Very Cleveriy Con-
strueted Trap.


Some one was stealing Sandy Browns
chickens. Every morning when Sandy
went out to scatter screenings there was
at least one of the younger ROSTERS or
hens missing, usually the very latest
and finest of the flock. Sandy couldn't
understand at all where they went TO.
He knew every man in the neighbor-
hood, and every chicken, too, for that
matter, and he knew that some stranger
must be guilty of the thieyeries. Now,
Il was no small matter 20 Sandy TO have
his plump pullets stolen, for he was only
a boz, and he was depending on the
money that the eggs and chickens
would bring him TO help pay for GER
tain handsome little rifle that he longed
TO possess So he determined TO watch
and see If he couldn't catch the thief
Before daylight the next morning he
was up and out, hiding in the corncrib,
where he could sec and not be seen.
Not long afterward the chickens came
clucl<ing into the barnyard. For time
everything was quiet, and then the old
red-top rooster Strengthened up and be-
gan TO grumble and turn his head from
side to side and blink his eyes. There
was sound of wings In the air, and n
huge bird lighted on the corner OF the
barn. The next instant the chickens
began flying about and clucking ex-
citedly, and then, before Sandy could
open his mouth to shout, the owl, for
On owl il was, darted down, and Sandy
saw one OF his favorite pullets carried
away over the hill. 80 you're the

next day. how many little shiyering
children she would meet and relieve, or
what deed of Kindness she could do TO
bring sinners into the better way. For
Aunty Morton had grown wise in her
intercourse with the world. She had
found that Whatever the difficulty OF
understanding words, deeds are almost
always intellgible. and she revealed
her soul in inarticulate speech as an
earnest, pure and truthful life. This
was language which the profoundest
admired and the simplest could appre-
ciate. Her pastors most elaborate dis
course on sanctifioation proved tame
and ineffective In comparison with the
eioquence OF this woman's humble and
holy walk with God.
Many were Aunty Morton's thoughts
on the evening we introduce her to the
reader. The minister had given notice
that in two weeks would be Thanks

pie should have TO be reminded 10 give
thanks. Her life was one continual
song OF thanksgiving. II would have
been in accordance with her idea OF
many things II the president and gov
ernors should say in the beginning OF
ench year; let the present be a year
of continual Thanksgiving. inasmuch as
the bountiful blessing OF basket and
store Is not given an withdrawn In n

Then the minister had made n re-
quest that all his parishioDers should
come 20 church that day. especially
those who were sometimes remiss In
their attendance. and he. with the
Lords help. would endeavor to hand
forth convenient food for them. There
was ops thing the minister said that
seemed to have n significance for her,
and she dwclt long upon IL in thought:

Gould's Letter Of Protest in Niagara Matter
Answered by the Englishmen.

London. Oct. ia meeting of the
Yacht Racing Association was held. this
afternoon. a which was declared this
reply to the letter addressed to the coun-
ell of the association by Howard Gould.
owner of the Niagara. protesting against
the action of the committee of the asSo-
cation in boarding and examining the
Niagara in May, in the absence of Mr.
Gould and without giving him previous
notice OF their intention:
Sri am directed by the council of
the Yacht Racing Association to acknowl-
edge the receipt of letter from you
dated Sept. N | am to reply that the
visit of the committee was made in the
usual course. solely in consequence of the
official measurer having in May 1896 in
the execution of his duty reported to the
council that the yachts water tanks We're
constructed together in such manner
that they might be used in shifting bal
last. Notice of such visits is never
given.
This committee expected to find you
on board. but hearing from the captain
that you had gone to London, a few min
utes previously. they requested permis
sion TO inspect the water tanks. which
was readily given. Their observation
confirmed the report of the measurer and
the tanks should be disconnected. at the
same time expressly dsclaiming any i'm
putation that the tanks were actually
put to an improper use.
The council fail to perceive that any
discourtesy was displayed toward you.
and certainly none was intended. 1t is
not necessary to enter into a discussion
of the other point raised by your letter.
AS you have thought fit to make your
grievance public, 1t is proposed that this
reply pass through the same channel.
