POLLY IN A CYCLONE.
Festhered Meteorologist That VIII

He"s"ered MeteOrOlOgist That VIII
Have Rosewood Perch.
Some days ago the daughter OF an
old board OF trader WHO lives in one of
those castlelike residences far south on
Prairie avenue satisfied passing within
by purchasing parrot, Now, her ia
ther Is man of very few words, but
TINS TACT Went for nothing with the par
rot Before the green and yellow fea-
thered linguist had spent so much as
iorty-eight hours amid its new surround
lngs it proved itself able to outtalk the
entire family,
1t demonstrated that it was one of
those takers that insist on having the
last and loudest word at night and the
iirst and fiercest in the morning. In
fine, the bird was way up in his bust
ness. He seemed to fully and thor
oughly realize that he was born and
bought to talk, and now his one pur-
pose in life was to fulfill his mission.
The old board of trader is kind, in
dulgent father, but he is also one of the
few men in this world who know when
they have enough. Poll was too much.
The daughter taught the bird to say
and do many bright things, and among
others to salute her father with "Ah,
there! How'd you like the weather to-
day" This somehow proved an addi-
tional irritation to the old gentleman,
but nevertheless he tried to smile and
look pleasant under it.
After enduring the pet "beast" for
several days the indulgent parent tried
to coax his daughter to let him take it
down and exhibit it to the boys on
change. Secretly his point was to lose
the parrot en- route But no, the
daughter was too familiar with the
plucking propensitics of her fathers as
sociates to trust her sweet darling
Poll" in the pits. Things ran on from
bad to worse, until finally one day
when the market had gone heavily
against him-and that, too, on the
strength of a fake cable from Russia
the old man went home at night with
murder in his heart.
Boiling into the house and past his
wife and daughter without seeing them,
he made straight for the conservatory,
where perched the parrot No sooner
had he thrown open the door of the
exotic retreat than the bird shrugged
and cried: "Ah, there! How'd
you like the market today?"
BLANK you" Kissed the old man.,
and catching Poll by the legs he swung
him round and round at arms length
about his head score of times and
then dropped him on the floor for dead.
The daughter and mother having fol-
lowed the father on tiptoe stood speech
less, gazing on the exhibition from be-
hind curtains.
Presently the parrot began to show
'igns of recovery. He got upon his
:eet, wabbled to his pole, and after q
lexterous use of his beak and talons he
,ained his perch. Then looking about
litnfTl y dazed sort of way he shrieked,,
Gee whiz how the wind blowsl''
Reconciliation between father and |
laughter came about amid much
aughter, and Poll gets a rosewood

"Heap on More Wood"

Heap on more wood-the wind is chill;
But let it whistle as it will,
Well keep our merry Christmas still.
Each age has deemed the new born year
The fittest time for festal cheer.
And well our Christian sires of old
Loved when the year its course had rolled,
And brought blithe Christmas back again,
With all its hospitable train.

Gave honor to the holy night;
On Christmas eve the bells were rung;
On Christmas eve the mass was sung;

A MOTHER AND SON.
Both Drunk and Both Sent Down to the
Farm.

Both Drunk and Both Sent Down to the
Farm.
Policeman Bloom discovered last night that
he had hard job on his hands when he ar
rested Johanna O'Day and her son, Larry"
OF Georgetown. They have been arrested on
several occasions and each time both the
mother and son were intoxicated. Larry is
about seventeen years old and he and his
mother always travel together.
This time they were both under the in
fuence Of liquor when the officer found them
on street car. The son was 80 drunk that
the officer had to carry him all the way to the
police station on his shoulder.
Where the son goes the mother is sure to
follow and last night was no exception. Upon
her arrival at the station she was locked up
and charge OF vagrancy was preferred against
the pair.
Court they plead guilty and were sent down for
twenty days each.
Lena Campbell, colored woman wearing a
mans hat, was in the procession of prisoners
and she was told by the bailiff to take of her
hat. as he took her for a man. The charge
against her was drunk and begging on Water
street. She plead guilty and was sent down for
twenty days.
Sam Dove was another prisoner from George
town. although his home is in Montgomery
county. Last evening he left his home for an
excursion on the electric cars, and when he
reached Georgetown he spent some OF his
hard earned money for rum. Then he imag-
ined he owned the town, but it was not long
before the police owned him and his pleasure
trip was made an unpleasant one.
Sam hired Lawyer Bacon to defend him, and
the plea he made was that Sam was a stranger
in town and WAS unable to stand few drinks
OF the rum such as was sold in Georgetown.
Judge Harpe.: said it made no difference

charged with being a tramp This time his
statement was that he had tramped from here

He said he was unable to find employment and
he thought too much of himself to beg. For
that reason he wanted to go to the work house,
where he had lived several years. When in
court q number of months ago his statement
was that he would not work, and when released
he would have to be driven away from the
work house. Ninety days was his sentence.

has also been arrested many times, was tried
for getting drunk too often and he was also

It Was just the Other way,

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
The correspondent Of the New York World in
the issue of today, speaking about the intimacy
between Senator Don Cameron and Senator
Butler. says: Tho fondness OF these men for
each other is partly matter Of inheritance.
Their fathers were in the Senate together before
them, and the elde- Cameron on one occasion
when the seat OF the elder Butler was in
contest came 70 his friends rescue. Strangely
enough, 1t came about that the younger Came
ron had an opportunity to perform the same
service for the younger Butler. and did it. with
the result Of making Butler his lasting and de-
voted friend"
There is singular mistake or, in fact, two
singular mistakes in this statement. Cameron
and Buffers fathers we're not in the Senate
together, because Buffers father never was in
the Senate. His uncle, Pierce Butler. was
Senator from South Carolina when Simon
Cameron was elected Senator from Pennsvl-
vania. having beaten John W. Forney for the
position.
AT that time there was no committee on
privileges and elections in the Senate, and all
contests were referred to the Judiciary commit
tee. of which Pierce Butler was chairman
Forney contested Cameron's seat and Pierce
Butler reported in favor of Cameron and Cam
erom obtained the seat. The World CORE
spondent gets it just the other way, and SAYS
that Cameron aided Butler in u contest.
