why a parrnt Hates Men.

a young " oman OF thiScIty OWNS twOpar-
rOts of widely dissimilar natures and Of
contrasting appearance, one having, TO
say the least, u very peculiar trait of
character The birds name is Willie, but
be would doubtless prefer to have it
spelled WiIheimina. The male members Of
the household call him SCreech Owl, and
even worse names. They want him killed,
but the women of this household want his
life preserved Before Willie made his APP
pearance the other parrot received all the
attention. He was pretty, and knew it,
and said SO. He would show off, and
take part il the conversations. Then, when
his mistress played on the piano and her
brother thrummed the banjo, he would
throw out his chest and sing the latest
songs This is not exaggerated.
But about a year ago the other parrot
appeared on the scene. The captain OF
ship which plies between this port and
Mexico brought him, and ii was wondered
at the time why he was go anxious TO give
him 10 The present owner, even thanking
her for taking him. Bat il was soon found
out why The captain parted with him so
readily. While none but women were
around he wasquiet and dOcile enough, but
as soon as a man made his appearance he
would ruGfle his feathers and screech
loud enough TO be heard through closed
Doors ali over the house. Then, if man
went near his cage he would nearly con-
sumo himself in the heat OF his anger and
fury he would peck vigorously at male
hand If held near him, and at one time,
somehow or other, he got out of his cage
and flew furiously at the head of his mis-
tress' brother, who savedhisey by holding
his arms over them. The bird kept up this
attack until it fell exhausted on the floor,
when II was an easy matter 10 return il to
ifs cage. After this performance ii waI
decided TO give the bird away. a woman
friend tookit TO herhome but returned with
II in a few days wing that her father and
brothers could not stand its screeching.
10th 10 have killed a bird which had been
made present TO her Wilie's mistress kept
him in spite OF her brothers eXpostulations.
She wrote TO the captain who brought him
from the South requesting an explanation
of the parrots peculiar trait and inquiring
If there was not a cure for il. To her letter
the captain replied as follows:
New Orleans, La.-My dear young
friend / am not surprised that you and
your brothers wish 10 get nd of the little
parrot / gave you. Had / known he was
such a terror ] would not have troubled
you with him. i thought that he merely
disliRed me. but / know now that he hates
all men. Since returning here have found
out his story. which is a sad one. He aud
his mother were owned here by man who
was collecting and training birds for ex-
hibition purposes His mother was very
bright bird and learned tricks rapidly, but
she was stubborn aud often refused TO
act Her owner frequently beat her into
submission, and, although your bird was
then very young, he would demonstrate
with the man by screeching and flying at
st him, whereupon he was licked himself.

BobtaH cars We're all the go in st. Louis
at one time. They We're not so popular
with the people as with the companies,
as they Were small and inexpensive affairs,
the driver acting in the dual capacity of
driver and conductor.
The fare box at the forward end, with its
series OF trap doors and front and back Of
glass, was supposed to be an efficient de-
vice for the protection of the company's
interests At that time car tickets passed
everywhere as currency. The peanut
stands, the saloons, and all retail stores
accepted them at their face value for pur-
chases.
The drivers knew this, and some of them
would evolve schemes to abstract the COW
eted tickets after they were deposited by
the passengers in the box. This was no
easy matter, as the inventor had so fixed
its internal arrangements that robbing the
box by curved Wire or any pliabe instru
ments was deemed an impossibility.
One driver took a live grasshopper and
tied his two hind legs together to a piece
of thread, so that he was helpless. The in
genious cuss would then pry open some of
the slanting trap-doors with a small stick
and slowly let Mr. Grasshopper slide over
one door, through another, and so on down
into the bottom of the box among the
tickets. The hopper had the use Of his
four small legs, and when his master
pulled the thread to which the insect at
tached the hopper naturally grabbed hold
Of some of the tickets.
A grasshopper when secured by the hind
legs Will hold firmly with his fore legs
to anything that comes within reach. AS
soon as the hopper reached the tickets he
was pulled around the angles in the box
and out, bringing with him from one to
five tickets. The tapping was done at
the end of the line or on some lonesome
part of the road
If the fellow who hatched that scheme
had kept il to himself perhaps the railway
company would never have discovered his
rascality. This chap had a long head and
tried to make all he could out of his lucky
find He went into the wholesale grass
hopper business. He knew that grasshop-
ners We're not to be had in winter, there
The Washington times., 1895-06-25

fore he laid in supply He fed them and
took care of them When Jack Frost
cleared the fields of the chirpers he started
out on tour among the drivers. He was
careful about sounding his man first, and
to those who Were willing to be tempted
he showed how the trick could be done.
He had the grasshoppers and would fur
nish them at 81 apiece. By taking care
of the hopper it would be good for a
week, no matter how cold the weather
He piled his trade with some boldneSS,
and it eventually led to his downfall and
a wholesale discharge of drivers on several
of the lines.-St Louis Globe Democrat
