Nature As She i. Faxed

The Hon. Eslavio Vigil came into
the Morning Journal office yesterday
accompanied by Il large Monkey-Faccd
owl which was captured by Slavic
in the parish church at Tome. For
the benefit of those who have not
seen a specimen of the Monkey-Fac-
ed owl it may be explained that the
creature has a countenancc marked by
great %concavity. in fact it has a dish
face of Il retreeting disposton which
is rather remarkable to look upon.
Slavic is rather proud of the owl.
The bird is some twelve inches high
and talks Spanish with great flucncy
occasionally |indulging in IA line of
Hispano American profanity which Is
quite a liberal education to listen to.
When urged by its owner yesterday
the owl became quite conversational
and talked at some length of course
however refraining from profanity
because Of its surroundings.
Il am no relation to the ordinary
garden or billed OWL said the owl
with gravity. ION the contrary j

But at this juncture Slavic seized
the bird and took it out, the owl
giving vent to an outburst
of language which made h printers
