Ravens Sharp Trick,

The best talking-bird new to the
big collection in the London Zoo" is
raven who came to the aviary last
year. "Hullo! Jack!" Is his favorite
remark. and It Is the voice of one
who meets an unworthy friend. Soon
after he arrived he used his conver.
sational powers with great effect upon
lammergeier who shares his cage
(relates the London Spectator). The
lammergeier had piece Of meat
which the raven desired. but he was
unwilling to surrender 1t. The raven
hoped up. "Hullo! Jack!" he began.
and the lammergeier, aghast at the
voice Of man. dropped his dinner and
fed. But the lammergeier was never

All the experiences which had gnne

=venge on me at once. For while I
was very ill, delirious with fever; and
when was myself again and the doc
tor would let me be talked to, the new
trial was all over and Johnny Mont
gomery had been acquitted a week
ago. 1t was Halle, all smiles, with her
hands full of roses, who brough. this
news in to me; and in a few days, she
said. Jack Tracy had told her, Mont
gomery was going to leave the city.
This set me wondering whether that
night in the carriage and everything
we had told each other then had been
no more than part Of my fever Wis
ions.
At last gathered courage enough to
ask father If Johnny Montgomery had
incurred about me. Father looked an
moved. and said YES" that he had
been sending every, day, and that be
had asked If he might see me when
was able, but, father said, he had
thought it best to refuse. That made
me so miserable began to be i'll

BUILDING UP FALSE HOPES.

A very interesting and significant
phase of the present campaign has
been discovered by the republican con-
9ressional committee after digesting
the speeches made over the country
by the democratic leaders and the
comments Of the democratic press.
This is the fact that the democratic
party. the democratic leaders, and the
democratic press are not expecting or
hoping for success at the polls on No
yember because Of any merits of the
party. They are not presenting to the
voters any claims whatever that their
candidates should be supported be-
cause OF what the democratic party
has done or expects to do. Their
whole basis for any expectation or
hope OF victory lies in the one fact
that the republicans are or have been
more or less divided.
The democrats have been forced to
rely upon this one plan of campaign
because democratic success cannot
come through any exploitation OF
democratic action; it cannot come
through any reference to what the
democratic party did the last time 1t
was in power; it cannot come through
any promises that the democratic plat
form has made for the future, for the
only promise that is made at all en-
pbatic by any democratic speaker or
.naper is the threat to pass through the
house a tariff for revenue only, and
the people Of the country are not
ready to accept revision of that sort.
That is why there Is so little said
now concerning the possibility of a
democratic house in the next congress.
The dexScs - have found that they
