Regeneration of the Parrot.

One day man who had had considerable
experience of parrots happened to come in.
and when l complained of the birds To-
quacity, he said; why don't you get IN
owl? You get an owl and hang him ur
close to that parrots cage, and in about
two days you'll find that your birds dead
sick of Improbable conversation"
Well, got small owl and put him III
cage close to the parrots cage. The par
rot began by trying to dazzle the owl with
his conversation, but it wouldn't work.
The owl sat and looked at the parrot Just
as solemn us n minister whose salary has
been cut down, and after awhile the par.
rot tried him with Spanish. 1t wasn't of
any use. Not a word would the owl let on
to understand. Then the parrot tried
Dragging, and laid himself out tomake the
owl believe that OF all the parrots in ex-
istence he was the ablest. But he couldn't
turn feather of the owl.
The noble bird sat silent rs the grave,
and looked at the parrot as if to say, "This
Is indeed melancholy exhibition of i'm
becility." Well, before night that parrot
was so ashamed of himself that he closed
for repairs, and from that day forth he
never spoke an unnecessary word. Such,
gentlemen, is the force of example in the
worst of birds.-W. l.. Alden in Idler

Consistency.

To constancy n thousand fnncs aro reared,
To consistency II thousand songs arc sung;
Tho virtue honored, cherished and revcred
Theme for tho old and goal to tempt the
young,
Still arc we taught. like fancics live and die:
Faith, hope and love abide in constancy.
Yet who that prizes summers golden moon
But longs for autunn's soft, pathetic grace?
Who rcvcls in the lavish wealth of June,
Nor signs to think of Aprirs varying face?
Who tired of glare but turns to tho warm
gloom,
Where the great yulelogs glimmcrin the room?
Why, without change, q rift would deepen
down;
y passing wron. would rcdden to n hate;
"A love would withcr meath an angry frown
And II rash VOW take all the strength of fate;
Where consistency might darken, curse cs-
TRANCE,
Fair fall tho sunny power of happy change!
Let times soft magic wear away tho wrath
And patience do her perfect work Mt last
And hope SOW laughing blossoms OH the path
That will outbloom tho nights shade of the
past,
Till all that lives and moves in lifo's wide
range
May bless tho sweet vicissitudcs of change.

Tho People In Mars.

There arc people living iu Mars, they say,
Enjoying tho lease OF longer year.
And II starricr night. and II SUMMER tlny
Anu steadicr climates than we have here.
Arc their winters blightcd by want and woe
Their summers by pcstilcncc, plague am,
thunder?
Do they suifcr there as wo do below,
| wonder?
Do they plant and water thci. rosy fields,
And struggle with sorrow and fight with
fears,
While the thorrs and thistlcs their red earth
yields
Arc choking the seed that they sowed in
tears?
Do they trust in idols of stone and wood.
And tramplc the meek and lowly undcr7
Do they love Tie evil and leave the gooG,
wonder?
Or n happier world may it be than this,
Where sin has not entered, nor death by sin
Which is blushing still from Creations kiss,
Whilst never n serpent has sliddcn in?
And IL we may wander amongst the stars
When body and spirit are rivcn asunder,
May we live lifc over again In Mars,
l wonder?
Shall wo find what hero wo have sought in
vain
Fulfilling ideals where oncc wo faileda
With the crooked made straight and the rough
made plain,
VIII difficult mountains Mt last DO scaled?
Shall cleanse our ways and redeem our
worth
Repair the old wastes and retrieve each
blundcr?
Shall We meet in Mars all we missed on Earth

The Quiet House.

Oh, mothers, worn and weary,
With cares which never cease,
With never time for pleasure,
With days that have no peace,
With little hands to hinder
And feeble steps to guard,
With tasks that lie unfinished,
Deem not your lot too hard
know house where childish things
Arc hidden out of sight;
Where never sound of little feet
Is heard from morn till night;
No tiny hands that fast undo,
That pull things all awry,
No baby hurts to pity
AS the quiet days go by.
The house Is all in order
And FREQ from tiresome noise,
No moments of confusion,
No scattered broken toys,
And tho childrcn's littlo garments
Arc never soiled or torn,
But are laid away forever
Just as they last were worn.
And she, tho sad eyed mother,
What would she give today
To feel your cares and burdens,
10 walk your weary wayi
All, happiest on all this earth,
Could she again but SEQ
The rooms all strewn with playthings
And tho children round her knee!

BEHIND THE APPLE TREES.

Behind the gray, gnarlcd apple trees
-, Inc sunset clouds rise high and bright,
Ilnted like waves of tropic seas
Fhantoms Of rarcst eye delight
1ney press upon the darkling blue.
Empurpling ever more and more;
Whilst gold and bcryl rays glcam through
The carmino arch of yon mist door.
Slowly they change both hue and form,
Transiigurcd to gay pinnacles.
And body forth some airy morn,
Weird as the scenes in magic wells.
But, 10. the shining towers rcvolve,
AND turn to gom strcwn circles wide;
Then, like wise Prospcro's world, dissolve
Midst the nights dark, dream laden tide.

Revenge is naked sword
1t has neither hilt nor guard.
Wouldst thou WELD this brand of tho Lord?
Is thy grasp then firm and hard?
But tho closer thy clutch Of the blade,
The deadlier blow thou woudst deal,
Deeper wound in thy hand is made
II is thy blood reddens tho steel.
And when thou hast dealt the blow.
When the blade from thy hand is flown
Instead of tho heart of tho foe
Thou mayst find it sheathed in thine ownl

Lis Opinion as to the Cause OF the Over
whel,hing Democratic Majorities.
WASHINGTON, Nov. H. Secretary Chas.
FOSTER was asked yesterday for an express
sion of his views as to the cause of the
overwhelming Democratic majorities at
the recent election. The following state
ment embodies his replies to series OF
questions:
There were three classes OF people who
voted the Democratic ticket. One was q
set OF manufacturers who got tired of Ia
Dor troubles and who came to the con-
clusion that free trade was better for
them, because it would reduce wages and
thus compensate for the reduction Of the
tariff.
Another class concluded that the Nc
kinley bill was too high. do not know
what effect those people had, but it was
an excuse Tor such people as MacVeagh
and Gresham to turn front.
The third class was the cheap labor
class. That class thought the profits
made by the manufacturers were not
fairly distributed; that proprietors got
too much and they too little.
The people generally voted for Cleveland
because they did not believe the Demo-
Gratis would do what their platform said
they would. It Is a strange result in view
OF the prosperous condition of the coun-
try. Every interest, manufacturing and
commercial, is in perhaps the most pros
porous condition ever known.
Labor was never so much in demand,
the cost OF living never so cheap and fail
ures We're never fewer, yet in view OF this
prosperity the people voted to have a
change, apparently not knowing when
they are well of.
The administration Ia unassailable and
unassailed from Democratic testimony.
Our candidate possessed the confidence OF
the country TO an extent rarely accorded
President. However, the majority Of the
people will have their way. As good
American citizen accept the result, and I
may say that am pleased, as my personal
comfort is now assured.

cans are Engaged in Conspiracy.
New HAVEN, Conn, Nov. 1.-THE
Democratic state central committee is in
possession of evidence tending to show
that some Of the Republican managers are
engaged in a conspiracy to again count
out the Democrats who were elected to
the state offices on Tuesday.
A misleading and illegal form OF return
to be used under the requirements OF the
constitution was sent out from the Office
of hold-over Secretary Walsh. IL con-
tans several traps to catch unwary mod
orators upon the subject OF rejected votes.
BY counting all OF these rejected votes
as IL they were votes cast against Judge
Morris and his associates, the conspirators
hope to wipe out the large majority re-
ceived by the Democratic candidates. 1t
is known that several hundred votes,
many of them for Judge Morris, were
thrown out for illegaiity. On this basis
Republican Chairman Benton has been
claiming that Judge Morris lacks 400 OF a
majority.

VIII of the People Must he Accepted and
New Policy Put into Eject.
WASHINGTON, Nov. II. - The strong
probability of an extra session OF Con-
gress Immediately following the inaugu-
ration of the President-eec was subject
OF general conversation in Washington
yesterday. A special session of the Sen
ate is always called at the beginning OF a
new administration TO confirm the mem
bers of the ca abinet and the new diplo-
matte representatives of the United States
abroad.
But the present election having turned
on question of domestic policy, it is said
TO be obvious to experienced political
leaders, OF all parties that an extra session
OF both Houses OF Congress will almost
inevitably result. Secretary OF the Treas
ury Foster, among Others, admits this.
The country, he says, challenged the
Judgment of the Republicans on the Nc
Kinley bill and the result must be accept
ed as the will Of the people that differ
ent policy shall be put into effect.

The Democrats VIII Have Complete Con
troll of the Government.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, Nov. IA paper
here has received twelve hundred word
dispatch from James S. Clarkson, now in
New York, on the result OF the election.
He admits that the Democrats have car
ried the United States Senate and for the
first time In 36 years will have complete
control OF the government To this YER
dict he says sit is an order from the
American people for change in the i'm
dustrial and economic policy OF the gov
ernment." He charges that the Republi-
can party has lost strength and votes
among the rich or among the people OF
independent means who now want cheap
labor; also among the workingmen who
have come To believe that free trade will
cheaper their expense OF living while the
system OF trades unions will keep up their
wages. He says:
1.-The result is not personal defeat OF
President Harrison, nor really defeat of
reputation of high tariff, a Republican
reverse in field where 1t put aside all the
nobler issues and staked everything on the
economic and mercenary issue"
he characterizes Tammany Hall as the
incarnation OF partisanship, and after
eriticizing severely the Republican party
for not enforcing its rights in the south,
concludes thus: SIN that day OF new
energy the Republican party will not al
low million of its voters to be defran-
chised because they are its members, and
IL will draw its line ope and boldly
and free itself alike fron G Carnegies,
Fricks and others who be protection
TO gain cheap labor, and rom all Others
wearing its name for purposes OF their
own gain"

NEW YORK, Nov. 1.-THE latest cleo
tion returns do not materially change the
result as announced yesterday Me-.
Cleveland is surely elected to the presi-
dency, having carried the solid South and
sgreat number of the so-called doubtful
states.
The surprise OF the day is the probabil.
fly that he has carried the state OF Ohio.
Kansas gives her vote to the Peoples Par
ty; Indiana, Illinois and Wiz ,onsin are
safe for the Democratic candidate.
The legislature elected in the variou,
states have changed from Republican to
Democratic in such numbers that the
Democrats probably will have a small
working majority in the United States
Senate. In the House the Democratic ma
jority will not be far from hundred.

chairman Of Populist National COMMITTEES
Gives His Opinion of the Election.
, sr. LOUIS, Mo-, Nov. IL. - Chairman
-Taubeneek, efthe PepaIist national cam
paign committee, was asked what In his
opinion produced the revolution in pub
lie sentiment as expressed at the polls.
He replied: "First, above all, the spirit
OF unrest, OF discomfort aud dissatisfac-
lion among the people of the nation.
Second, the fact that the old party ties
are loosened, IL not broken. II has taken
the American people long years to dis
cover that tariff is a tax and the foreign
manufacturer does not pay this tax. II
has cost them millions Qf dollars to learn
and solve that question. IL will not take
tnem years 10 learn that tariff for reven-
ue will not remove the burden OF which
they complain. In my opinion, the peo-
pie have simply jumped out OF one fire
into another.
The Peoples party will re-organize inn
medlately and prepare for the next con-
test. We will not turn our backs on The
principles that We have advocated on
money, land and transportation before
which the tariff question sinks into in
significance. The land and transporta-
uon planks will not receive the pre-emi-
nence they have in the past, at least. We
question:
