n Devil to Think.

This reminds me of the story of tho
mana great ornithologist who adj
rcrtiscd that he had got the clever
est parrot in the world, and that he
would sell it to Il buyer for $500. This
bird began to create Il most sensible OK
element, and it was sold-not to the
Kcnsington museum, for it was not in
existence at the time, but believe if it
had it would have been eagerly pllr-
chased by it--but to II respectable old
lady,who gave the required 5000 for the
bird She kept it for Il season, but still
ii did not talka a single word, and if she
had kept it for Il hundred years it would
not have by that time uttered anything.
She kept it for about n year, and vet
it had not spoken anything g. About this
time she met the man, the famous orni-
biologist and a former owner of the
bird, and asked him the reason that it
had not spoken, at the same time cX-
pressing surprise at il, when ne answer
cd: ''No, but it's u devil TO think.n
think that is very much the case with
the domestic policy Of the ministry.

Buchanan, the first bachelor Prcsi-
dent. had quite brilliant administra-
ton socially. His niece, Harriet Lane,
was in many respects magnificent
woman. Her appearance was striking
and her manner winning. Intcllcctu-
ally she was very strong, and she pre-
sided over her unclo's household with
O dignity and grace that has handed
her name down to postcrity as ono of
the best female characters ever in the
White House. She has seen great
sorrow since those days. Her uncle,
whom she loved as father, has passed
away, and her two little boys, 10 and
IA, the fruit Of her happy marriage,
have both died within the last thrco
years. Her husband also departed
this life suddenly within the last
year, and the brilliant mistress Of tho
White House Of little moro than a
quarter Of a century ago is a childless
widow.
