A Money AND PARROT SroRY "A gentleman
owned monkey and parrot The parrot, like
many of its class, was sometimes addicted TO
profanity, fact which its owners exceedingly
regretted, and the monkey was so untaued and
mischieyous that he was always kept chained. -
Although the two animals occupied tho same
room they were from the frst rrecoueiable foes,
and great care was taken to keep them as far a.
part as possible. One morning the entlenan
entered The room and was exceedingly surprised
and panied to find that during the night the
monkey had broken his chain and The parrots
cage was overturned and the floor was covered
with feathers, hair, and spots of blood
After careful scrutiny he discovered the
monkey cronched in one corner of The book case.
his eyes all bunged up and his hide covered with
scratches and bruises from the parrots hard
peak Poll, for time, could not be discerned.
butfanlly after repeated calls, the bird walked
out from beneath the stove, her feathers ali pluck
ed out her body lined with scratches, and alto
gether, presenting the most bedraggled and di-
lapidated appearance imaginable. Cooking one
eye at the monkey and the other at the amazed
master, Poll piaintively CIRCULATED: "Ob, but
we've had hill of a time" ,.rr
Parrot and monkey occupied separate apa, t.
ments after that little episode, and although the
monkey rapidly recovered from the effects of his
nocturnal encounter, Poll still! mourus the loss Of
her beautiful plumage.
