5elut Misrrllnn(I.
The King and the Parrot.

There was once in Hindostan 4 king
whose justice had made 4 paradise OF
every household He had, over and
above the qualities of Il great prince.
that of a love of bcstowing hospitality.
With this object he had caused the
construction, very near his own palace,
OF large buildings, drsi gned to lodge
all who should arrive at his capital.
Various officials had for functions the
receiving and welcoming of the visitors
with many kind attentions, whatever
might be their social position, and Of
ten the king himself was seen mingling
with his officers, in order to do the
honors of his house.
When persons ofdistinction present
ed themselves, such as sdr0nts, artists.
or cr,at travellers, who could enter
tain his majesty with their CONVERSE
ton, they were conducted to the palace
itself, and were admitted by the mon
arch to an intimacy with him, and thus
he became an ronrnnt with what was
| passing in his own kingdom, rs we'll
as with the affairs Of foreign countries.
One day 4 guest was announced
whose beard, as white as SNOW, sug-
geSted the winter of 4 well-flleG life,
and on his bald forehead one could al
most read the history of the centuries.
This venerable man had travelled in
every part of the world and was IA
miliar with all the conqucsts Of the
human mind over the powers of nature.
The king, intensely interested by the
narratiOns of this Sdrdnt, detained him
several days at the palace, and one
evening. rs their conversation turned
on questions of high philosophy. they
discussed particularly the things fthe
other world, and especially the prob
lens of life and death His majesty
expressed his opinion frankly, and gave
uttcramcp to some doubts as to the i'm
mortality OF the soul and its immater-
ialitN. The old man, observing the
king to be 4 little hcSitant on the point
whether the soul can exist independ-
emily OF matter, could not suppress a
smile, wich did not escape the clear
sighted eyes of his royal host, who &c
mandcd the cause OF his amusement.
The philosopher excused himself, and
offered different prcteNts i'll order not
to explain his own attitude. But the
king would not admit them, and com
mandcd his guest to express his own
views.
"Sire, without your formal command
| should not permit myself to say that
your doubts and hcsitations made me
smile But now that see to what cx-
tent YOU are anxious to know the
truth, | am going to buoy up your
faith by some indubitablc proofs, placed
by the Divine Being at my disposal.

HOW A STORY GROWS.

\ farmer once was told that his tur-
nip field had been robbed, and the act
committed by 4 poor, inotfensive man,
OF the name of Palmer, who, many of
the people of the village said, had ta-
ken away wagon load of turnips.
Farmer Brown, much eXasperated
by the loss of his turnips, determined
to prosecute poor Palmer with all the
severity of the law. With this inten-
ton he went to Molly Sanders, the
washcrwoman, who had been spread
ing the report, to know the whole
truth; but Molly denied ever having
said anything about a load of turnips.
1t was but a CARLOAD that Palmer had
taken, and Dame Hodson, the huck-
ster, had told her 50 over and over
again.
The farmer, hearing this, went to
Dave Hodson, who said that Molly
Sanders was always making things
worse than they were; that Palmer
had takena wheelbarrow full of tur-
nips, and that she had her account
from Jenkins, the tailor.
Away went the farmer to Jenkins,
the tailor, who stoutly denied the ac-
count altogether; he had only told
Dame Hoison that Palmer had pulled
several turnips, but how many he could
not tell, for that he did not see him
self, but was told it by Tom Slack, the
plowman.
Wondering where it would end,
Farmer Brown next questioned Tom
Slack, who in his turn, declared he
had never said word about seeing
Palmer pull up Il turnip, and that
Barnes, the barber, was the person
who told him about it.
The farmer, almost out of patience
III llllS account, uuIIicu oil W DlIHes,
the banker, who wondered much that
people should find pleasure in spread
ing idle tales which had no truth i'll
them! He assured the farmer that all
he had said about the matter while he
| took off the beard of Tom Slack, was,
that, for all he knew, Palmer was as
likely Il man topull up Il turnip as any
of his ncighbors.

The minstrel performance which was to
have been given on Christmas night is
meeting with unlocked for difficulties. DIR.
r. Il. Wood, who is one of the mainstays
of the affair, Is confined to his bed with
a severe attack of tonsiitis. and as this
disease affects especially those organs
which are mostly used, there is a posi-
bility that this gentleman's services may
have to be dispensed with or the per-
Torrance postponed. Charles e. Oles,
other one of the principal singers, is also
i'll. While it is the sincere hope of all
that these two gentlemen may SO far
recover by the time Christmas arrives as
to take part in the show, yet should their
sickness resist the efforts of medical men.
it is possible that the performance Will
have to be postponed for a little time.
Objections have also been made by the
ladies against giving the performance on
Christmas evening. A great many ladies
have planned for weeks the entertain-
ment of friends at dinner on that date.
and If the performance comes off on the
proposed night a great number of people
who would otherwise do so will not be
able to be in attendance.

HOUSES WELL BUILT.
The Important Part Carpenters Take in
Construction Work.

Construction Work.
Anaconda to-day supports more first
class mechanics and artisans than any
other city in the great Northwest Thai
fact is admitted everywhere. These
skilled workmen are brought here by
the demand for the best class of work.
Ten years ago. about, Messrs. johnson
& Law came to the west side and en-
gagged in carpentering. the former at
tending to business alternately in Deer
Lodge and Anaconda, while Mr.. Jona-
son took for his field Butte and Ana
conda. About two years ago these men
associated themselves into firm of
contractors and builders, with head
quarters in this city. Their work shop
is on the Fenner lot corner of Cherry
and Third streets.
They were not long in establishing a
splendid business. being awarded con-
tracts for much of the best work here.
They have now under supervision the
carpenter work of the new B., A. & r.
depot, the Durston and Walton build
ings. They recently completed the hand
some residences of Doian d Hamill and
w. i. Rodgers. besides several smaller
homes in different parts of the city, also
the extensive improvements made on
the Methodist church.
They will do the carpenter part of
the construction of the new Lincoln
school house. This firm has competed
with the leading mechanics Of the state
and it is the proud boast that it has
held its end up with the best of them.
The firm has other contracts in contem-
plation and will no doubt be seen
around many new buildings next year.
