 IL is Not Apprcciati,e.

New York, Jan. le.-Threc weeE ago a sick. feeble eagle flew weak, into the grounds Of the Politician sis ters' orphanage at Lodi, N. J. The sis ters. believing it a domesticated bird that had strayed from some happy homo in the vicinity. placed it in a wooden cage, smoothed it's rum~ied feathers and ordered it given the best of care.
 Today the eagle, cured of its ail- ments and longing fiercely for liberty, beats with it's great wings the bars of its wooden cage, screams fiercely and gazes with hungry eyes on the or- plan charges of the institution. The sisters have decided it isn't a proper bird for an orphanage. So they have inserted an advertisement fin New York papers asking tho owner Co come and get his rcjuvenated charge. The mother superior says something will have to be done soon. and if the owner doesn't appear within a rca- sonable time. the eagle will probably be sent to A zoo for safe keeping.
