obtained a sack of floor with which to

"A parrot has been assaSSinated in Sun
Francisco. A faro banker, named Fury,
does business by night and sleeps by day.
His lodging-pace is the upper floor Of Il
three-story house near the City Hall. A
fortnight ago. family moved into apart
ments on a lower floor. The gambler lost
his sleep. for the rev dodgers had parrot
OF unusual lingua abilities. and each morn
ing it was placed out on porch in the rear,
Immediately under his bedroom window,
and woke him up;and kept him awake with
its ceaseless and senseless chatter and its
demoniac laughter. He stood this until
he had yainly hurled at it $3.50 worth of
bootlacks, shoes, spttoons, tobacco-boxes,
and empty soda-bottles redolent of gin.
by which time he concluded he must do
something efectiTe to abate the nuisance.
Being an ardent trout-tisher, he fitted his
beautiful fishinG-rod together, reeled out
three stories of line, and, having adjusted
avery taking and highly-colored May-1iy as
the proper bait for the season, went "whip-
ping" through his window for his enemy.
The device was eminently successful. The
parrot made dab at the deceitful fly, and
with an artistic twitch the fisherman fas-
tened the barbed hook in it's gullct and reel
cd in his fluttering and screening prize.
Releasing the hook, he twisted the BIRDS
head three times in one direction and Its
body five times in another, and then insult
ingly dropped the corpse into the porch be-
low. But his crime had been witnessed,
and he was subsequently arrested, but was
acquitted.
