have been so busy since dear mothers
death that | have not had time to write
letters to any one. You see. when | get
home from school at night, | find no
mother there to get supper for US. We
live in a house all by ourselves. 1t has
two rooms and is enough for us. We
live next door to my auht, Mrs. Good
rich, and as Wilma is not old enough to
go to school, she stays day times with
her aunt and with us nights. Mabel is
still teaching in the graded school. We
went to church this morning and to the
graveyard this afternoon. We have a
new tombstone and had not seen it till
to-day. 1t Is very pretty indeed-" &c.

hundred dollars. and ii wonderfully ed

English French, German and Italian.
The strange part of ii Is that theparrot as
soon as he hears any one speak, knows IN
what language to address the person
For long while no one knew that the
parrot spoke Italian until one day an
Italian artist came to the house 10 10
some work, and the parrot heard him
tax At once the bird began TO jabber
Italian and had quite a conversation
with the nlan 1t always talks German
to the Ger nan servant, and French TO the
maid. The parrot, when any one comes
down IN the morning, says
Good morning l hope you rested
WELL
He is very particular parrot One
day stranger went up to him, and said !:
Pretty Polly Polly want cracker? .
Nhereupon this birfi astonished the
person by saying
~oh, stop that foolishnsss Can't you
talk sens? I am tired Of that rot -
The parrot has not learned to say
: Chestnuts!" yet, bat very often, when
asked if he wants cracker, says
q That's old give me something new"
He loves to sing; and knows -Peek-a-
boo. and chants it loudly at times. to
the amusement Of all in hearing The
parrot has Its favorites among the in
mates Of the Stanford residence. and viii
