-be Parrot and the Hen.

Our next door neighbor owns an anus
ing parrot which is always getting into
mischief. but usually gets out again with
out much trouble To herself. She has been
allowed to 60 free into the garden, where
she promenades back and forth. summing
herself and warning off all intruders.
One morning hen strayed out of the
chicken yard and was quietly picking up
her breakfast, when Poll marched up to
her and called out, "Shoor' in her shrilI
voice. The poor hen retreated to her own
quarters, running as fast as she could, fol-
lowed by Poll, who screamed 'Shoor" at
every step.
A few days later Poll extended her morn
ing walk into the chicken yard. Here,
with her usual curiosity, she went peering
into every corner till she came to the old
hen on her nest. The hen made dive for
Polls yellow head, but missed it. Poll,
thinking discretion the better part of valor,
turned to run; the hen, with wings wide
spread, followed close after.
As she ran Poll screamed in her shrill-
est tones, 80 Lord! o Lord!''
4 member of the family who had wit
messed the performance thought 1t time to
interfere in Polls behalf, As the angry hen
was gaining on her. He ran out and, stoop-
ing down, held out his hand Poll lost no
time in travelling up to his shoulder. Then,
from her high vantage ground, she turned
and, looking down on her foe, screamed,
Hello, there! Shoot
The frightened hen returned TO her nest
as rapidly as she had come.-Ashland

TIMOTHY.

Timothy grows in the tanclc tall
Between the road and the gray stone wall;
From its long green stalks upreaching high
Its long green fingers point to the sky;
And some turn purple, and some look tanned
To ruddy brown, like sunhurned hand,
Bending and reckoning. to and fro
As the breeze runs by through the clOvers low
And the redtop ripples, fcathcry fine,
And the daisies shake, ami the buttcrcups
shine
Stirring whenever the light wind blows,
Under the warm sky Timothy grows.
Timothy goes where the blown grass bows.
Sturdily trudging behind the COWS:
His hard little feet are red and bare,
And his brown face laughs meath his tow.
white hair.
As blue are his round eyes. h1yish quick
AS the ripe blue berries hC stops to pick:
And his few front teeth are sharp and small
Like the chipmuuk's he chascs along the wall
And whistliug and following over the hill
While the cowhells clink in the evening still.
Where in the tangle his namcsaEe grows.
Under the bright sky Timothy goes.

With regard to France, matters are just

taps in some instances worse. The Ger
man population as IA rule leaves the spy
catching trade to their stubborn officials,
while in France, where patriotism is more
fervent, every citizen of the third republic
thinks it his sacred duty to look with Il
suspicious eye on every foreigner who en-
tiers the country. Innumerabe mistakes
are the result, and innocent travellers are
often placed in extremely annoying posi-
lions. Yet it must be admitted that Ger
man spies are not only plentiful in France,
but they work very Systematically.
The "af1aire' Bonnet was one of the
most scandalous. This depraved creature

but on account of his numerous debts he
had been dismissed from the service. AS
debts do not exactly dishonor II man. it was
possible for him to keep up his connections
with his former comrades and even to
make new friends. Though everybody
knew that Bonnet was penniless lie lived
i'll good style and seemed always to be pos
sessed of comparatively ample means. One
day he Travelled to Belfort, where he made
special inquiries with regard to the new
