takes pleasure in exhibiting it's qualifca-
tions to his friends and patrons.
The bird addresses its master by the title
of papa" when m the home apartments
upstairs, but invariably calls him doctor
when in the office. Recently a policeman
had a large tooth removed, and, after it
was extracted. exclaimed thank heaven
that's out" The next day, while lady was
passing from the operating room through
the parlors, after undergoing some suffer

amusement OF the waiting patients, and
evidently out of sympathy with the lady,
thank heaven that thing is out
"A prospective patient. an old lady, had
decided to have some extracting done. 1t
was fat job" to use the dentists ex-
preston, and the fee would have been sub

hour. and was ascending the stairs. The

shrek. in imitation of suffering patient
The lady turned and fled the premises, and

this habit. Week before last it repeated
its performance. climbing to the roof, and
refusing all solicitations to descend. When
night came, however, Polly descended and
re-entered it's cage and received q sound
drubbing for its misconduct. The punish
ment, quite severe, seemed to have its ef-
feet, and the bird for several days did not
even go to the window. Lart week, how
ever, the dentist and his family having
gone out. the parrot made its exit through
the window, and commenced it's climb up
