Both Rejected,

There was congregation once in
the carly days of Connecticut who
called a new minister, whom they had
never seen, to their pulpit. But when
the day of the installation arrived
they were confronted by two preach.
ers, each claiming to be the verita BILE
man. One rested his claim on having
a black coat, the other on having an
Installation sermon in his pocket.
After a lengthy debate on the situa-
tiOn, the elders of the church arrived
at the following conclusion: That
either the man without sermon had
stolen his coat, or else the man with
out the coat had stolen his sermon;
90 they rejected both.

| me Parrot ThOuSbS the Report Was
Knock at the Door.
Most parrot stories are regarded 90
apochry phal, but here is one that be-
| lievc IL true, because friend of minr
can vouch for it personally, having
been present at the time. He was
calling on my friend, DR.. Frank Har-
ris, at his home in Winthrop, Mass ,
christened Chicory Doc. He calls it
Chicory Doc because there is a dock
outside and a CO inside, and the
whole place is surrounded by the blue
flowers of the wild chicory, and is also
quite chic.
Well, the doctor has q parrot which
is a remarkable talker, and of whose
many expressions most are self az
quired from observation. He sings
and dances "Peek-a- Boo," calls to the
neigh bors and members of the family
by their names, and is especial
y valuable when the telephone
rings and the servant is not in
that part of the house, as he, on hear
ing the bell, Immediately cries: 'An-
ME! Annie!'' till she comes and an
swers the call He also responds to
any knOCk ab the OOOF, asking WHO II
is, inviting the person ill., and if the
person does not come Immediately,
says: "Wait a minute" as he has
heard others say before.
One Sunday afternoon, when my
friend was there, q very heavy
shower was in progress and the con-
versation was hushed by the fierceness
2f the downpour and the flashing OF
Ihe lightning. Presently a sharp
fash was followed by a tremendous
report. and then came the voice of
Polly! "Who is it? Who is it? Come
in! Wait minute!' Then, as there
y as no response, he called sharply:
Doctor! doctor" and then losing pa
tiencc, he became more familiar and
insistently shouted: Frank! Frank!'
But, though the company laughed,
they all thought that the lightning
had given a close enough call, and the
cry of the bird was not answered.

o'clock by Speaker Owen.
An Unconditional Adjournment.
Representative Wilson, when that part
OF the record was read showing that less
than a quorum on Thursday had voted
TO adjourn to Saturday in viola
1oT mo1ed Of ,bos the s
roll call showing DO quorum be stricken
out SO that the several adjournments as OF
Thursday until Tuesday be made In con-
fornity with constitutional requirements.
Representative Honey said 1t was too late
to amend the record, even II 1t was the
unconstitutional truth. The chair
had awarded the point made
by Representative Allen at that time, and
the division was in conformity with pre-
cedent. Representative Wilson said there
was no politics in the matter, simply
the correction OF the record In con-
formity with the constitutional provis-
ions. The roll call was resorted to on
motion of Representative Allen, and the
motion was defeated by vote OF 30 to 16.
Representative Potter Of Cranston
moved that the judiciary committee be
discharged from further consideration OF
the act relative to the reapportionment. of,
the voting districts in that town for
members of the Town Council and
that the act be placed on it's passage. 1t
was explained that the presnt delegation
for the town of Cranston was divided on
the question as was also the committee,
and hence no objection would be
raised by the committee. Representa-
tives Allen and Wilson objected saying
the best course was to let the committee
further consider IL or else make some
form OF recommendation. The motion
was lost by vote of 81 to IL, several men,
bers of the majority voting in the mega
tive.
DIR. Garvin called up the special order
of Friday last, his bill providing for
the election of Boards of Alder
men and members OF Town Councils on a
general ticket. He unrolled long
manuscript containing sundry yards of
research and there was a hegira to the
smoking room. There was mighty array
of statistics and the members swallowed
his deductions with great nonchalance.
AT the conclusion OF DIR. Garvin's speech
the act was passed by vote of 20 to 10.
On the motion of Mr.. West the Senate
motion OF final adjournment was referred
Mr.. Aliens resolution TO appropriate
$500 to provide room for the use OF the
Sixth Judicial District Court in the Provi-
dence county court house was referred to
the committee on finance.
The town of Johnstown was authorized
to issue school bonds to an amount not to
exceed s55,000.
The resolution appropriating $500 for
payment and mileage OF the members of
the House during the May session, 1888,
wes passed.
On recommendation of the committee
on judiciary the act authorizing towns
TO abolish the school district system at
district meetings was passed and the
act to authorize the town of
Cranston to elect councilmen by districts
was indefinitely postponed by vote of
81 o2.
The House then adjourned until Thurs
day morning.
