Parrots Are Never Original,

have read of father who would
not let his children tell their dreams
because there is in such narrative too
great temptation to wander from the
truth. Parrot stories are too often like
dream stories-one-half true, and they
are sometimes; plainly to any who
knows the true talking power of these
birds-made up entirely or greatly ex-
aggerated. While the parrot has GER
tain unmistakable sense Of humor, and
is oorrespondingly wise, none of the
various species is Or ever was capable
of the original wise and witty talk IA
miliar to us in newspaper anecdotes.
In fact, the parrot is never original
in speech. 1t is altogether initiative,
and bird that has never heard spoken
words has surely never uttered a sylla-

But, judging from parrots clever use
of what they learn to say, it is almost
certain that they come to know in a
measure the meaning of the phrases
they learn. -Charlotte Boner in st.

Too Mnch For Watson.

Only once did Watson, when a captain,
never fail to punish man for intoxica-
ton. This was in the summer of 1898
at Boston, when the San Francisco
took the Massachusetts naval militia on
it's first practice cruise. Among the
regular crew was old Alexander Parker,
sailmaker's mate, who was never known
to remain sober when there was liquor
to be had When the naval militiamen
came On board a witty boatswain' s
mate, while no officer was near, sang
out in an authoritative tone:
"All you men having whisky on
board lay below and turn it in to the
sailmaker's mate for safe keeping
Many amateur sailors took the bait,
and in few minutes old Aleck, sit
ting down below decks in his saiiroom,
was surprised to have vast collection
of TASKS passed to him. He received all
these as gifts with many thanks. He
was found day after sound asleep in
his sailroom, literally covered with
empty bottles of every size and shape.
He was finally taken before the captain,
to whom was told the circumstances

Asked For a Shirt and Got a Wife.

During the civil war there was GER
tain young lady in Georgetown who
found it in her power to do great deal
for the Confederate soldiers confined
in prison at Washington. Young, beau
tiful, cultured, popular, of a wealthy
and prominent family, she was fire.
quently allowed admission to the pris-
on, whittier she always took her maid
with a we'll stocked basket of good
things for the poor boys behind the bars.
One day as she was passing through a
group of men in the common prison she
stopped and said to them:
eff there is anything you would like
to have that can bring you, won't you
let me know? I shall be very glad"
One man stepped forward promptly
Bowling most courteously, he said:
eff you will be so kind, l should like
very much to have a clean shirt. "
He was young lieutenant from
Louisiana, one of the handsomest and
most elegant men I ever met, and when
that young lady looked up into his
brown eyes she found it in her heart to
give him much more than clean shirt,
for she married him as soon as the war
was over.-Philadelphia Times.

SAN JUAN, Porto Rico, Sept. 15.-The
United States Porto Rican evacuation
commission was in session during the
morning. The reply of the Spanish
commissioners. setting forth their posi-
ton in ACCORDANCE with the instruc.
tions from Madrid, has been received
and is satisfactory to our commission
ers, who hope the main details of the
evacuation will be arranged within a
few days. The protocol says Gimme
diate" evacuation, which is construed
to mean a reasonable time. It is IN
derstood that Spanish steamer is ex-
pected here in few days from Cadiz
to embark the first detachment of
troops, the Pr Hpado de Austrias reg
iment, mum berlng 800 men, who ar.
rived here from Cuba prior to the
outbreak of the war, aud a bait ,iion OF
engineers. The Spanish soldiers dread
yellow fever, and this fear may hastel
the evacuation of The island. Over
1000 Spanish IT ops persisted during
the epidemic of 1896
The steamer expected here to EN- bark
the first detachment is the Condo Wi
fredo, of 2027 tons, belonging to the
Pinillos line. She is commanded by
Captain Aldraca and left Cadiz on
Sept. l, for this port, and for Havana.

SLICK PETE's WATCH DEAL.

Bought Them at $2.15 Each and Sold
Them to swindlers For SO Apiece.
An old time detective the other day
was discussing with some sleuths new
in the profession the methods of up, to
date swindlers. After deprecating the
originality of the modern crook he told
of what he considered the sharpest game
he ever saw worked.
IT suppose you fellows know" he
said, 'that during Centennial year Phil
adelphia was hotbed of bunko steerers
and sharpefs Of every description. Well,
was detailed to keep an eye on these
gentry, and in time became acquainted
with most of the big ones,' who were
generally exceedingly bright men. One
in particular, who was known as Slick
Pete, took a great liking to, for he
had an inexhaustiblefund of humor and
was good hearted chap. Toward the
end of the Centennial exhibition one
day dropped into down town auction
room where some fake jewelry was be-
ing sold. A lot Of watches were offered,
and saw that they had been made EVIL
IDENTIFY for bunko steering purposes, for
the works We're good and the cases were
made to look like solid gold. They were
finally knocked down for So. Is apiece,
and I saw that the buyer was Slick
Pete Jewelry was cut of his line, but
I knew he had some scheme in view.
Two months passed before I again saw
Pete and then asked him what he had
done with the watches. He began, to
laugh and said, 'Oh, skinned some
swindler with them!' Then followed
the explanation. He had hired a room
and inserted an advertisement in vari-
GUS papers something like this: Found
"A solid gold watch; Elgin works :
loser pay costs. Apply, ETC. Nearly
every crook in town answered the ad.
and claimed the watch. Pete, who
made up as an old man, seemed mark,
and the fly crook, in the hurry to de-
part, made but cursory examination.
THE costs, $40, were invariably handed
over, and in two days Pete had disposed
of his stock. "-Philadelphi Record.

Biting Finger Nails.

The chief finger nail chewers of the
world are the French, and it was re-
Gently stated upon reliable authority
that nearly two-thirds of French school
children are addicted to the habit.
Even for grown people there is hard
ly any habit, aside from the confirmed
abuse OF narcotics, more difficult to
overcome than the habit of biting the
finger nails. 1t requires strong mental
effort and constant vigilance to do this,
for once a person has become thorough
ly addicted to the habit he does it un-
consciously, and is only reminded that
he is marring himself when he gets one
OF his nails gnawed down to the quick.
All manner of remedies have been ad-
Vanced for the cure of the finger nail
biting habit, including the placing Of
injurious and bitter compositions on the
ends of the fingers, but none of the rem
edles amounts to much.
The only way to stop biting the fin
ger nails is to stop. The Americans are
next to the French in the finger nail
biting habit, probably because the
Americans, as whole, are an exceed
ingly nervous people. A man who &C.
complishes his determination to knock
off biting his finger nails may, by in
cessant manicuring, get them to look
fairly well within year or so, but fin
ger nail biting if long persisted in,
ruins the shape of the ends of the fin
gers, and the nails can never be brought
to look as we'll as those of the persons
who permit their nails to grow as they
were intended to grow.-Washington

the civil war.
"Men build fires in various places tc
cook their coffee by or to make them
selves warm Or for company's sake, "
said civil war veteran, land any fire
is likely to be more or less gathering
point, but I suppose that the fire tC
which the name of campfire properly
belongs. the campfire of song and story,
is the cook S fire at the end of the COM
pany street, built on the ground, under
pole supported at the ends by crotched
sticks driven in the earth and from
which the camp kettles are suspended.
This was the gathering point of the
company.
"Men did not always stand about the
campfire. 1t depended upon circum-
stances and on the weather. They met
here, of course, at mealtimes, and there
were times when men would stand
around the fire and smoke and talk, and
then it might be that the men would
keep their tents, playing cards Or smok-
ing there, or mending their clothes, OF
polishing up their accouterments, sc
that there were times when the fire was
quite deserted or when perhaps there
might be seen there solitary figure, a
man who had come to light his pipe.
"But, though it might be deserted,
the fire still burned. Sometimes on cold
and windy nights the wind would
blow it about and scatter it, and some.
times, when it was no longer attended.
the rain would put it out black, but
there was usually living fire there by
day and bed of embers by night, and
here was the soldiers hearthstone. -

More Rabid Natives Adopt Resolutions

HAVANA, Sept. 15.-Ihe presence Of
Robert P. Porter, who is in Havana on
special commission from the United
States government to study the finan.
cial and economic aspects of the situa-
ton, is regarded with suspicion by the
party of free Cuba as indicating the
esta blishment of an American policy Of
guardian ship.
Mr.. Porter is preparing revision OF
the Cuban tariff, which will probably
be protective of Cuban industries, and
is acquainting himself with every de-
tail of local taxation.
In this work he is assisted by capa-
BILE staff. For the present his efforts
are only preliminary, as until after the
definite settlement Of peace it will be
impossible to tablish the new regime,
but his efforts and inquiries, taken to-
gether with the announcement that
American troops will be sent later to
occupy the island, which had

olutions against "encroachment upon
our rights as citiznns OF the tree and in
dependent repubnc of Cuba by the es-
adjustment of an American protecto-
rate"
Commenting editorially upon these
developments La Lucia says: "It is
easy to foresee clash between the two
tendencies, two forces on the political
he rizon of Cuba-the sentimentally in.
dependent party and the party of prac-
tical annexationists. On one hand
stands the Cuban sentiment, which has
struggled for freedom for three years,
Oh the other is arrayed every material
interest in the island which looks first
and foremost for the greatest and
strongest guarantee, not only that
order will be preserved, but that there
wi L be future development and in

rations consist of one peck of cornmeal,
five pounds of bacon and pint of mo-
lasses per week. These articles consti-

are in the woods cutting or chipping

are always well conditioned, hard Of

The Bamboo Gun.

The natives in the Bucherganj dis
trict of Bengal have been deprived of
their guns, and since then they have re-
sorted to the native bamboo in the hunt
for defensive weapons.
They hollow out the bamboo, load it
with an ounce or two of native powder
and handful Of iron slugs and touch it
off with a fuse in the immediate neigh
borhood of the offending person. s
Another way, as the cookery books
say, is to employ the bamboo as fork
with a cobra pinned to the far end. An
application of the cobra to the sleeping
body of an enemy is all that is neces-
sary.-London Tit Bits.
