The Fanecs Bcsilisk.

According to the ancient writer's, the
basilisk- sometimes called cocka trice-
was ii monster to- be greatly dreaded.
Its breath filled the air with a deadly
poison and burned up vegetation. and
the glance of its eye was fatal to both
man and beast. The only creature that
could face it and live. they said was
the cock, and Travellers We're advised to
take loud growing cocks with them as
a protection against the monster. So
much for superstition. As q matter of
fact the basilisk is harmless lizard.

feeding on insects. Its appearance,
however is formidable. and it is this
perhaps that gave it bad name. 1t
grows to a length of from twenty-five
to thirty inches. including its tail,
which Is much longer than its body.
Rising from its head and inclining
backward is a broad. winglike eXpan-
sion, which gives it some resemblance
to the flying lizard. The crest of this
expansion is formed somewhat like a
crown, and that gave the basilisk its
name, which Is from the Greek word
meaning skiing"

Carter Harrison,s Idea.

Carter II. Harrison has returned to
Chicago from California. He will take
a lively interest in the lining up of the
Illinois democracy for Bryan. Har-
rison says the whole country is for
Bryan. He says further:
illinois must be represented at Den
yer by an honest and sincere Bryan
delegation 1t is my purpose to do
what | can to see that this result is
accomplished. The sentiment of the
country is so strongly fol-, Bryan that
i am led to believe that Illinois should
not faik to take advantage of the OPP
portunity to stand in the fore of the
Bryan movement"
That's the idea exactly. Illinois is
for Bryan and Illinois should there
fore be represented at Denver and on
the national committee by democrats
who are in all sincerity for Bryan.
Illinois democracy should see to il
that only Bryan democrats be placed
on guard to watch Bryan's interests
