THIS PARROT HAS BANK ACCOUNT

Mcdonald. a sister of the Mrs. Bradford
with whom he finally lived, and whose
heir he now is.
In the Bradford family he became
very great pet. He was especially the
favorite of Mr.. Bradford, upon whose
shoulder he would sit for hours in deep
thought. His conversation was never
of the iippant, chattering sort. He
would always speak when spoken to or
when occasion seemed TO make it neces-
sary, but he never talked. as most par
rots do. simply TO hear his own voice.
He seemed very fond of Mr.. Bradford,
and for weeks after that gentleman's
death he mourned.
But after awhile he came TO look upon
his sorrow philosophically and began
to show as much attention to Mrs. Brad
ford as he had TO her husband.
That Mrs. Bradford was extremely
fond of Polly is shown by the provision
she made for him in her will. The 81 900
is TO be invested in mortgages by Mr..
George II. Pierce. who is made trustee
by the will He is TO support the parrot
through the rest of his life. He is
groomed. fed and bathed with all the
care of the most priced pet in the world.
He has all the palatable viands in the

he has a select assortment of crackers.

NONPUNCTURABLE TIRE.

until recently, when a tire with an in
ner tube of papier mache was placed
upon the market. 1t is similar in size
and outward appearance to the ordi-
nary tire, and, it is claimed, has the
same resiliency.
1t is not pneumatic in the sense OF
containing air under pressure-for its
resiliency comes from the elasticity of
the papier mache core, which in addi-
ton renders the tire unpuncturable.
So the inventor claims.
The advantages claimed by the in
ventor are that the material is of such
nature that it can be furnished for
the inner tube at less expense than an
inner rubber tube, that it has resiliency
with small weight, that it is impervious
to water, and that it is puncture-proof.

CRUELTY Ia Due to women.

At the congress of the American
Ornithologists' union Chairman VIII
liam butcher read his report, which he
prefaced with this statement: "The
continued use of feathers and birds
on women's hats is, 1 think, due to an
unwillingness on their part to assume
individual responsibility. Most women
know the cruelty entailed IN obtaining
the plumes that ornament their hats.
but excuse themselves on the ground
that it was not committed for me per
sonally; it would have occurred any
how" Reports from western states
were discouraging in that they told
that the use of aigrettes and feathers
on hats was more popular this yea,
than ever before
