One That Considers Himself an I'm.

San Francisco Correspondence OF the Los
Angeles Times.
Up to last Sunday l had always be-
lieyed that talking parrot learned the
few words of his vocabulary in a mechan-
ical way, as hooking bird picks up the
notes Of another birds song or whistIed
bar l had not believed that a parrot
possessed the faculty of thought in such
a degree as TO make the language of the
human race an expression of his own
ideas. My theory was that the parrot
used the few words at his command In a
hit-and-miss fashion, and the fact
that they sometimes seemed apro-
pos was merely a chance of coinci-
dence. l am now disposed TO revise nv
opinion, and with hat in hand make hum
BILE apology to the parrot kind for the in
justice ] have done it. In other words I
am convinced that at least one Polly
thinks and allies his language to his
ideas; and If one, then perhaps many.
My conversion, which was as sudden and
pronounced as that of Saul of Tarsus,
was accomplished last Sunday when |
took several Of the children for an after
noon ramble, and called upon MIR, and
Mrs Benedict, old time and highly priced
friends OF mine, who live on Bay Farm
island, just of the Alameda coast
He is a parrot of the conventional green
plumage, and he left his South American
birthplace a fiedgling only two and half
years ago. But in his two and a half
years of American domestication he has
picked up a considerable stock of ideas
and speaking knowledge of the English
tongue. He has his personal likes and
dislikes like other people, and knows how
to express them. He recognizes Mr.
Benedict as "Old Fellow and never
fails to address him thus: "Good morn
ing, old fellow" "GOodby, old fellow. 4"
Hello, old fellow, +" are theusual saluta-
tions. Polly's habits are very regular,
and may be divided into two diurnal
epochs. All the day he sits on his perch
in the sitting room, Eliminating and en-
pertaining friends At night he sits on
another perch in an inclosed alcove. and
this is recognized as his bedroom. He mas
his regular time for going to bed and for
getting up. He insists on the fOrmality
as vigorously as though there was all the
difference in the world between the two
porches. When Polly's bedtime comes he
is sure to remind the family Of the fact
and insists that he IS sleepy When he is
put away In regular fashion for his nights
repose, Polly settles down on his bed with
a self-satisfied chuckle that IS good 70

Give it up 1t is the rule, though, that
one child is usually q terror.
Why is that2
Owing to the fact, 1 suppose that as
there must be one black sheep in every
flock, this one is black.
Do parents know how to control their
own children?
Not as well as other people do.
They like to have good ones don't they2
They think they do, but they don't seem
to be able to get at 1t always.
Isn't it because they love them so that
they Lack strength to correct theml
Well call it that.
Aren't children born bad2
Some are born bad, some achieve bad
ness and some have badness thrust upon
them.
Parents are to blame, then, sometimes?
Oftener than most people would dare to
tell them.
Parents owe as much to their children
as the children TO their parents, don't

More.

Yes; for parents place them on earth,
and the children are in no wise respon-
sible.
Should parents be rigorous toward
them!
No, they should be sensible.
What would you call sensible?
Parents should be on terms Of fellow
ship and friendship with their children:
make companions of them.

growing up.
How about the mother2
There's more of companionship in that
quarter, for the mother is always in the
| house.
But there are bad girls2
AS q rule the bad girl is born, not made.
A good mother has saved many a
daughter, though that a careless mother
would have lost.

ton in styling itself "The Metropolis Of
the New World" Mir Gilroy has freely
admitted since his return that he had al-
ways regarded Gotham as about as big o
city as could be- found upon the Ameri-
can continent. When hc got among
the officials of Porkopolis, therefore, and
listen TO their illusions about the nations
municipal pride and the republics hugest
center Of population, and all that, he
really supposed that New York was re-
ferred to. Our mayor seems TO have been
reduced to a speechless condition upon
actually discovering that Carter Harrison
and the rest of them now look upon New
York as the second city in this country
All who ever heard Chicago's mayor in
public know his pet phrase: 81 welcome
you to the metropolis of the new world. 5"
Mayor Gilroy's verdict is:
81 think Chicago thinks that everybody
kinks it's the biggest place on earth

originals. Mr.. Croker, no doubt, wishes TO
edify his leisure with the lyrics of Catul-
lus, Tlbullus and Propertius. Then there
are books on mental philosophy, including
the lucubratiOns of Spinoza, Descartes,
PITCHER and Kant. The library seems
lneXplicably deficient in light literature,
but there is set Of Milton's poetical
WorhS-strange reading, truly, for a mod

MIR. Croker has commenced appropriately
enough with Shakespeare. He owns d
rare edition of the Paradise Lost" done
IN red Russia and gilt, and the "Odes of
Horace" rendered by Francis, seems a
1aycrite, to judge from the books well
worn condition. 1t is said that Mrs.
Croker, who had unusually good educa-
uonal advantages in her early youth, is
responsible for the tendency to higher
literary indulgence in her husbands
mental make up. However it comes
