A Parrot With Humor in Him

had to stop once in a little town in Illinois
to sell bill Of goods, and found that there
was no hotel says a writer in the Globe
Democrat The storekeeper, out of a pure
spirit of accommodation, kept the few travel
erS who stopped in the town charging them
~ day for accOmmo iations worth SO a week
and impresslng upon them his self-sacriticing
spirit in taking them at all, One of the feat,
ures of the entertainment Afforded and the
only one that could possibly be worth the
price charged, was family prayers in which
the guests were expected to ioin. We had adj
Journed to the Sittingroom for religious de-
votion, and the good old man read a chapter
in Deuteronomy his plan always being to
read the Bible through. from the first chapter
OF Genesis to the last one of Revelations one
at time. With greatSolemnity he stumbled
over the long list of names, and when he had
finished we kneeled in prayer. Upon the
mantel was parrot seeming to listen with
great attention. The prayer commenced with
a supplication for the entire world then fol-
lowed the national government, then the
state then the neighborhood, then the reIa-
tives of the family, each being named until il
had lasted for about twenty minutes when
suddenly the parrot in loud and angry tones
cried; "Oh, shut up--shut up, sayl'Y A sun.
pressed laugh from the members of the house,
hold followed, and the prayer ceased.

NC Newahov,a rearf,l1 Tale.

A pale-faced. half-starved boy came into a
Main street restaurant about 7:30 O'Clock last
night. He carried a few papers under his
arm. He looked cold. His shoes were out
at the toes and his stockings had holes in
both knees He had no overcoat and he
stood shlvering at the door for moment, as
il undecided what to do. Then he walked
timidly over to the cashier and said: Please,
mum, kin see If ennybody wants Z buy a
pOiper:'
The cashier was about to refuse him when
the little fellow spoke again: please. mum,
femme. Me ladder won't let me cum home
till sell all desc pOtpers an trades dead
rotten on d street. Please, mum, KIN IL
There were tears in his voice, and the cash
Ter relented. She gave him a penny and
| bought paper herself and then told him to go
to the tables il he wished.
The little fellow took of his cap and tucked
ii under his arm. He walked down between
the tables and said in weak little voice:
"POlpersi EnnybOdv want buy a polper?n
There were not many responses to this ap-
peal and he began personal canvass. Stop
ping at table where middle aged man and
his wife were eating. he said: Please. sir.
wonchu buy pOlperY Me fadder'll lick me I
don sell all desc an dey aint no chanst
on de street. Please. sir. buy one, wonchu?''
Buy paper John" said the woman, and
the man gave the little boy 10 cents and took
one Of the little bundle.
Then he went to the next table and the next
and all down the room. He told his tale of
woe so well that before he had reached the
had handful Of small change and he pulled
his cap on his head and started for the door
on run.
What pity it is" said the middle-age
woman. that fathers are so brutal and that
such small children have to toll so hard to
support them in idleness."
The small boy bolted out of the door and
straight across the street Here another
small boy met him. Hey. Chimmiei" said
the second small boy 'didt worky'f
'Betcher life" replied the first small boy,
exultingly, an got 'nuff t. buy two seats in
de gallery fer d. minstrels."

Peter Cooper's Little Joke.

Peter Cooper was always "a careful and pru-
dent business man. He was always opposed
to the methods of many merchants, who
launched out in extravagant enterprises on
borrowed money, for which they paid exorbi-
tant rates of interest. says the New York
Post. Once while talking about a project
with an acquaintance the latter said he
would have to borrow the money for six
months, paying interest at the rate OF per
cent.
Why do you borrow for so short timer
Mr.. Cooper asked.
Because the broker will not negotiate bills
for longer" .----r, 49, -
well, If you wish said Mr. Cooper. 81
will discount your note at that rate for three
years..
Are you in earnest?" said the would be
borrower.
Certainly 1 am. will discount your note
for $1,000 for three wears at that rate. Will
you do it,"
"Of course I will" said the merchant.
Very well" said Mr.. Cooper; Just sign
this note for $1,000, payable in three wear
and give me your check for $500 and the
transaction is complete
But where is the money for me?" asked
the astonished merchant
~ GU don get any money! was the reply
Your interest for thirty six months at per
centum IS SlO,sOOl therefore, your check for
$500 inst makes us even.''
The force OF this practical Illustration of
the folly of paying such an exorbitant price
Tor the use of money was such that the mer-
chant determined never to borrow at such
ruinous rates, and he frequently used to ay
that nothing could have so fully convinced

A Step Toward Funeral Reform.

"A BILL" says the Washington Star,
'has been submitted to the district com
missioners, the provisions of which place
at the disposal of the residents of Wash
ington as place OF burial all the land in
the Arlington estate with the exception of
that portion which has been set aside for
a national cemetery and military post
The charge for burial lot is to be not
more than So" The proposition is of
more Importance than appears upon the
surface 1t is step in the direction of
reforming funeral customs and reducing
burial expenses, a reform that is needed
not only in Washington, but in every sec
ton of the country, city and country alike.
The modern funeral has, by custom,
been made very expensive and ostenta-
tious affair. An elegant casket, a SPLEEN
did hearse, and long string of carriages
all very costly-lnust make up the
funeral cortege, and the interment must
be made in an expensive grave, or "the
people'' will say that the living relatives
of the deceased failed to show proper
respect for the dead. Where the family
of the deceased can afford a spectacular
FUNERAL, IL is the famlly's privilege TO pro
vide one. But as public sentiment re-
CARDS the matter now, there can be but
little difference between the rich mans
funeral and the poor mans funeral. The
poor mans family will not sacrifice pride
by providing simple and economical in
terment, but often plunges hopelessly
into debt in order to make show for the
qualification of gossip mongers. Widows
and estates are beggared to provide the
expensive funeral items which, instead of
shonoring the dead, is more a mockery.
1t is not possible to bring about the
practice of simplicity and economy in
burial customs through legislation, but
steps in that direction may be taken, as
in the instance noted by the Star. Mean
while, there is room and the need for re-
formers TO create a healthier sentiment
with regard to funerals in the minds
of the masses.
