TIE PARROT SHOUTED "HuRRAH."
But Got Disguised at Last and Plainly
Showed 1t. sT

There is one member of congress
whose wife owns an intelligent parrot,
which she brought from Mexico and
whose talking talents she has developed
with great a%ssiduity and no little sue
cess, says the Washington Post. OF
course Jones-that's not his name and
the nom de guerre stands merely for
convenience sake as the true name of
the congressman referred to--Jones
was q candidate for reelection in No
vember. and. foreseeing his triumphant
vindication at the polls, the alrectionate
Mrs. Jones specially trained her parrot
to shout "Hurrall!" till the windows at
tied whenever Jones lame was men-
toned in his presence.
On tho evening of the election she
arranged to have the bird lung in the
reception room, where her husband
was going TO receive his friends and
also the returns. With fond expectancy
she looked for the news to come that
her husband had been elected by q
stunning majority and the parrot shout
ing in the wild frenzy Of his boundiess
glee: "Hurrah for Jones!"
Alas. that the best laid plans of men
aud mice gang aft aglee:
When the fateful moment came 4 dis
tressed messenger with flushed face
and disheveled hair. burst into the sit
ting room with the announcement:
you're beaten, Jones!!"
1t was the parrots cue and he hadn't
forgotten his careful training.
"Hurrah for Joncs!" shouted the green
imp on his perch and everybody in the
room stood aghast ut the auducity of
the biped.
Mrs. Jones was the first to show a
sign of animation and it manifested it
self in a volcanic eruption of temper
directed against that cute and innocent
Mexican parrot, which cifectually put
a quietus on his exhilaratfon. The poor
bird covered in the corner. III half an
hour the tide had changed.
You're elected, Jones!' shouted the
last messenger.
Shout, Polly, shout" cried Mrs.
Jones, in a transport. of delight.
The bird looked at C rsideways, with
a look Of disgust.
"oh, - Jones" he mnttered, turn.
ing his back to her.

Cleveland, o., Aug. 2.-Senator
Hanna in response to an inquiry today
as to what in his judgment should be
done with the Philippine islands said:
THAT is a big question and we must
go slowly. We at least want a footing
on these islands. Although there may
be a sentiment against keeping them,
there is n bigger sentiment against
giving them back to Spain. We are
confronted with new conditions today,

WIN MES TRIUMPH
81 THE AUTHOR OF FAIRY GOLD.

BY THE AUTHOR OF FAIRY GOLD"
From the Chittoor, her cargo and ius1r-
ance money, his thoughts wandered to his
friend, Captain Martyr, of the INDUS, the
required repairs of the old house of Tire
garthen, the gale, the Channel soundings,
the sunken rocks off Tregarthcn Head,
and poor little Winnie Caerlyon.
Poor little lass! I have no doubt that
she has rough water to make her way
through" he muttered commiseratingly
"a careless father, an unkind step-moth-
or, and a shoal of young step-brothers and
step-sisters; and she made a patient little
drudge for all! A nice, gentle girl-prctty,
rather, 1 think-heautiful hair, like inner.
maid's-poor child!-one of those meek
patient little women that seem made for
strong hearty fellows to pet and take care
of" Andhere Captain Tredennick's mind
travelled over his list of acquaintance to
try to recall the memory of some strong
hearty fellow whom he could conscien-
tiously recommend to himself rs the life
long lover and protector of a "meek, pt-
tient little woman
An honest warm-hearted sailor now"
he said, m%usingly: they make good hus-
bands, generally speaking, only their
wives have little of their company. Let
me see. Martyr now, only he's married
two years ago-nicc little woman, too
somewhat like Winnie Cacrlypn, I think
"a girl couldn't find q better man or
drawer officer than Martyr. Let me see"
Some sudden Thought seemed to strike
the Captain of the East %Indianan Chit
toor. With Il very sober face he laid his
pipe aside, rose, and surveyed himself in
the nearest mirror for a heightened space
of time, until.a grim smile replaced the
earnest gaze. He shook his head at his
own reflection, turned away, and left the
room.
stephen Tredennick, my lad said he,
smiling in the same cynical amused fash
ion us he went, you've been dreaming
dreaming in your chair, my lad. You had
better wake up now, and turn into your
berth properly"

The American reply distinctly gives
warning that the proposition as to the
surrender of all sovereignty in West
Indian waters and the selection Of an
island in the Ladroncs is beyond any
discussion whatever. AS to the Philip
pines the reply says in substance that
ms q further indemnity to the United.
States for its expenses the United
States will hold the city of Manila, its
bay and hnrbor, pending the determine
atlon of a future government for the
whole island group. One island of the
Ladrone group is to be coded to the
United States, this government to
make its selection later.
In demanding the surrender of
Spanish sovereignty in all our nearby
waters the reply automatically avoids
making any pledges is to what is to
be done by this government us to

And why our steps are shadowsd 20 By
And why we often lie
on couches sown with thorns o. care and
doubt:
And why our lives are thickiy hedsed
about
With bars that put our lofties, plans to
rout.
Sometime We shall know why
Our dearest hopes are swept SO swiu
away.
And why our brightest flowers first
decay:
why song is lost in sigh.
Why clasping fingers slip so soon apart:
EStrangement. space and death rend heart
from heart.
unttl from deepest depths the tear-drops
start
Sometime We shall know
Each other. aye. as We ourselves are
known.
And see how out Of darkness light has
grown:
And He who loves ,s so
Despite our willfulness and blind COM
plant.
VIII show us how His kind and calm re-
stralnt
Can mold q human soul into saint
Sometime our eyes shall see
The silver lining in the darkest cloud.
While silvery echoes follow thunders loud:
Sometime our hearts shall be
Content, forgetting all our restless mood.
And knowing everything has worked for
good.
The how and when and why be under
stood.

HOBART IN PERIL.
Vice President Narrowly Es-
capes Death In a Runaway.

Philadelphia, Oct. 2S.-Vice President
Hobart narrowly escaped being killed in
a runaway accident in this city.
Accompanied by Messrs. Miles and
Hartman of the city council, the vice
president drove down Broad street in
a carriage to watch the formation of the
procession. At Washington avenue the
horses became unmanageabIe and
dashed along Broad street. The dri-
yer tried to stop them but the fright
ened animals ran all the faster.
At Christian street the president,
who was in a carriage, was met and as
the team dashed by him he took in the
situation and looked appalled,. A hun
dred thousand people watched the mad
rush of the horses, expecting every min
ute to see the occupants of the carriage
dashed to the ground.
For blocks the wild flight continued, j,
but Vice President Hobart and his es-
cort retained their seats. At South
street a policeman ran out, and spring.
ing at the horses heads, seized the bri-
die of the off horse. He was dragged
for about 100 yards before the animals
stopped but when they did a mighty
cheer went up from the thousands of
spectators who witnessed the heroic act.

The governor discussed the railroad
question at length.
Congressman Botl1in then spoke. He
began his address by saying that he
was raised in an atmosphere of freedom
and that he believed that everyone had
a right to belong to any party he saw
fit to. He said he would not abuse any,
one for his beliefs Mr.. BOtkin then
said that the Republicans had had a
hard time at the Hutchinson convention
in framing an issue. He said that at
first they had cried about the high
prices of wheat but that since its de-
cline in price they had been compelled
to abandon it. The speaker said: ''Then
they had to get something and so one
day when Governor Leedy was travel
ing along on a. train and he got hungry
and when the train stopped he got off
and got cup Of coffee. It was hot and
the time was short so the governor
poured it out in his saucer and drank it.
The Republicans tried to make this into
a campaign issue, but it didn't catch on
and so they had to take up the cry of
we killed the bear,' or in other words,
they claim all the credit for the late
war"
Congressman Botkin then said he
would not talk on state issues as they
had already been ably discussed by
Governor Leedy.' Il won't talk of them,' -
he said, further than to say tina tt be-
heve that this state has had the best
admistration that this or any other
state has ever had in the John w. .Leedy
administration. Only remember that
all the fights with the exception of the
insurance fight, which Attorney General
Boyle has made his reputation on, were
based on laws passed by the Populist
legislature
The speaker then took up and dis
cussed the war and the policy pursued
by the Populist delegation in regard to
it. He called attention to the cry of
elect congressman to support the presi-
dent and said that the members elected
at this election would not take their
and before that time, the president and
the present congress would have settled
the foreign policy of the gOvernm ent.
Talking about Republicans doing all
the fighting and the Democrats and
Populists being obstructiOnists, he
claimed that Dewey and Schley and
Wheeler were Democrats and Hobson
was a Populist. "NOw are these men
obstructionists? Well yes guess that
Hobson the Populist might be called an
obstructionist." Gaughter.)
At the conclusion of the speaking
many came forward and shook hands
with the governor and Congressman
BOtlSin.
