HA! HA!
The Laughing Owl That McManus
Sent to Fisher.

Sergeant McManus of the police force
is away on his annual vacation. Before
going he promised great things to Off
Ger Fisher in the way of nice fat young
grouse that were to be sent to him.
Yesterday Fisher received a bulky
bundle of express, and, seeing that it
came from McManus, prepared to give
the boys on the force an invitation to a
grouse dinner
He changed his mind, however, when
he opened the package to the gaze of
his envious friends and found, packed
in many layers of paper the dead body
OF a laughing owl. which, though it has
beautifully notified plumage, is hardly
to be ranked as high as nice young
grouse, in delicacy of flavor.
The boys. as well as the owl, gave
him the ha, ha! and McManus will have
to Keep his weather eye open when he
comes back, for there is blood in Fish
ers eye and he will get even for the
shock to his sensibilities.
