THAT COMPOUNDED PARROT.

II Was Revengeful Creature and Broke
Up a Marriage Engagement.
One OF the brightest and most at
traciiye young women in Buffalo is the
owner of an unusr0lly precocious par
rots incidentally she thought q great
deal of a Young farmer of the neighbor-
hood, so much in fact that they were
Detrothed. But this young farmer has
always hated parrots. and that has been
the one sore spot between him and his
promised wife. He has especially hated
the parrot in question, and has repeat
eddy warned the young lady that the
thing was not SO green as 1t looked, and
that It would surely cause trouble be-
tween them. We can easily believe
that the bird, being beloved by his mis-
tTess, was at hand during these little
talks, and it as easy to believe that
no well-ordered, intelligent parrot
would put UP long with such sighting
remarks as the young farmer was in
the habit of making. If memory serves
Alright, the bird did once rebuke his
mistress sweetheart, but very mildly,

that occasion Polly was promptly pun
ished by his mistress, who snapped his
mead with a piece of whalebone and
covered his cage with paper for an en-
tire day. This was added insult, but
nothing was to be done except wait
patiently for an opportunity to get even.
Inc opportunity soon came. A few
nights ago the young farmer entered
the house of his life's light, and asked
Tor the flame. She was prinking, but
would be down in short time, and
would Frank try to make friends with
Folly! So Frank turned into the room
where Polly sat on his perch munching
cracker and grooming jungle ditty.
Extracting chocolate caramel from
his pocket Frank moved toward the
cage. There are tides in the affairs of
men and likewise parrots, and this
bright if green pet realized that the
ncod Of his tide had come.
"Hellow, young hayseedr' he shouted.
There was a moment of intense 81 !
lence. Then the cage was struck to the
floor and the room was filed with |
feathers and hair A moment later
Polly's mistress entered the room.
What is the trouble, Frank?'
Some one has taught this parrot to
call me a young hayseed,' answered
her lover, flushed and angry, and will
not stand it,
Did you hurt poor Polly?" picking
up the manned creature.
I tried to kill the thing
The young woman vigorously up
braided her lover, and hurriedly slip
ping her engagement ring from her fin
ger and handing it back, said:

slight provocation cannot be my COM

broken and you need not call again
