which was caught near n chicken
roost in the New Zion section of the
county last week has been an object
of interest to many pasSers by. He

of yellow and black. When Floyd AL
lison, an employee Of the store got
hold of an English sparrow yesterday
morning and held it in front of the
bCak of the 'hooter'. thinking he
would be kind enough to hold il while
the owl peSkCd at the bird at leisurc,
he got quite a su. prise, as did those
watching from outside the show win
dew. Instead of eating the sparrow,
slowly the owl opened his great
mouth and promptly swallowed the
sparrow, feathers and all at one gulp.
Mr.. Allison not having the time and
inclination to feed birds to a larger
bird of such great appetite, did not
seek further sparrOws 20 satisfy the
appetite of the owl.

to the graduating class of Yorkville
High School in the A. r. p. church
Sunday morning. Rev. Mr.. Walsh
spoke on the subject Of Reliability"
quality ne said that any boy or girl,
man or woman must have to gain sue
cess in the world, to obtain ths respect
of their fellows and TO receive reward
in heaven at the close of life In the
course OF his sermon Mr.. Walsh ad-
vised his hearers that they were just
beginning to climb the ladder Of life
and he urged them to remember al
ways that they must be steadfast over
and under no circumstances depart
from the practice Of doing that which
was right in the eyes of.God and man.
Reliability, he s9id, was more or
less general term which embodied
number of qualities and that some at
least Of these qualities are embraced in
the makeup of every great man and
woman. You young people, he said, see
about you now and will continue to
see about you as youSgrow older men
and women who possess certain good
qualities-who are so weak and in
firm in matters of principle and occas-
ions where necessity for steadfast-
ness and reliability presents that
their good points are always over
shadowed by their bad.S BE strong,
be firm and be clean, and yours will
be success in life. Rev. Mr.. Walsh
was heard with attention and inter
est by his large audience.
