The ST ry of an Owl.


Some time ago met j. II. higgins,
a prominent growers of West High
lands, and he told me the story.
"Last winter, "said he'll put an emp
ty organ box way up In the gable end
of my barn for pigeon loft, cutting
holes through the outer wall to afford
ingress and egress for the birds. The
pigeons were pleased with their quar-
tiers, and for while seemed prosper
Gus and happy. Then l noticed that
they had tired of the organ box-pos-
sibly because there was no music In
it. At least, there was dlscOrd Of
some kind, for which | was at a loss
to account. One day l saw a large
owl perched on the barn roof, and,
getting my shotgun, l promptly
downed him. Not long after 1
noticed another owl, evidently his
mate, entering the pigeon loft. l
quietly pulled the string which shuts
the loft door and the owl was pris-
oner. Then | went up with club,
satisfied that was going to deal out
justice to the culprlt thatI had been
disturbing the peace Of the pigeons,
| raised the door slightly and looked
in and saw, not one owl, but tiYe-
Nine. Owl and four little owlets,
Scattered about on the floor were the
remnants of ten gophers. Threw the
door wide open, lifted my hat TO Mrs
Owl and said l had just come up tC
see If the pigeons were troubling her
could not look her in the eye, for
remembered the shotgun affairs Of the
preceding day. And now, whenever {
big barn owl makes me nocturnal cal
and asks in his weired Who? who
who?' the name of the occupant,
raise the window and reply, j. r
higgins, a friend; you'll find the doc
open. ''-California Rural Press.
[Another man who climbed up Il
an owls nest in an old barn found Il
completely surrounded by dead rat
and mice. The theory that owl
catch chickens has no basis in fact
They swallow what they eat whole
and could do nothing with chicken.

The New York Herald has accom-
pllshed worthy stroke OF Legitimate
enterprize In securing from the sultan
permission for one OF its STAFF TO make
a tour of Armenia. not only unob-
structed, but protected by the Turk
ish officials, and fairly and fully In
Yestigate the condition OF that un.
happy region. That outrages haye
been pertetrated there on an extern
slve scale seems beyond doubt. The
Turks have claimed that the reports
of these were greatly exaggerated,
aud that the disturbances were art
fully lnstigated by Armenian politi-
cal agltators, who, from safe places,
stirred up their countrymen TO revolt,
with view TO causing severe repri-
sails and so working up sympathy out
side and procuring Intervention,
which might cad to the separation
OF Armenia from Turkey.
The representative chosen by the
Herald is Rev. George II. Hepworth
He was at first Unitarian clergyman
and afterward Presbyterian, and
held good rank In both denomina-
tons. Ten years ago he resigned the
ministry aud entered upon journalism
He has for years held responsible
position on the Herald,
Mr.. Hepworth is a man OF excellent
repute, aud his reports will be
awaited with very great interest. An
