TEACHING n
WISE PARROT

A well-known country Squire owned
an equally well known parrot, which he
christened Judy, because of its popu-
larity and reputation for saying funny
things. On one occasion the Squire was
expecting his uncle for q visit, and
thought it would be great fun If, on the
arrival of the said uncle, Judy came out
with:
"HaIloa, Uncle! How are your"
So one morning he tried to teach the
phrase to the bird. Judy, however. was
in a depressed mood, and she couldn't
be persuaded to talk or do any Of her
tricks The Squire, who was an iras-
chile man, shouted violently:
Say uncle! Say uncle! Say uncle, you
fool!"
But Judy was obstinate, and no
threats could make her say word.
The Squire thereupon gave way to his
wrath, and, seizing Judy by the head,
swung her round and round, then threw
her out of the window.
About half an hour afterward he
heard a great screeching in his fowl
yard. He hurried out and beheld nine
teen of his chickens lying dead, while
Judy was pursuing the twentieth, at
the same time shrieking:
Say, uncle. you fool Say uncle, you
fooln'
Judy had. after all, learned her les
son, but too well.

SAN FRANCISCO Feb. 21.-Stewart Men
zies, an agent of the Alaska Commercial
Company, who has just returned from the
Klondike region, starting from Dawson City
on Jan. 20 and from Skaguay on Feb. 10,
reports that the tide of gold hunters who
fiocked into Canadian territory when the

there, accompanied by many others who
have been unable to locate claims on Cana

he came cut claims on Davis. Chicken, Ma

tributary to Forty-mile creek, showed bet

Klondike, especially those ON Chicken
creek, which are from eight to twelve feet

Miller and Glacier creeks, which are trlbu-
tary to Sixty-mile creek. Menzes predicts
that the majority of the miners now on the
Canadian side will cross the boundary in
the near future, as it is almost impossible
for one-ffth of those already in the Klon-

MRS. w. C. WHITNEY INJURED
Knocked from Her Horse While Deer
Chasing i'm South Carolina.

AIKEN, S. c., Feb. 21.-While following
the deerhounds to-day Mrs. William C.
Whitney wife of ex-Secretary of the Navy
Whitney, was knocked from her horse and
quite seriously hurt. Mr. Whitney and wife,
with party of thirty-five or forty friends,
were cut on a deer hunt two miles from the
city, at Robinsons Park. Mrs. Whitney was
among the leaders and was riding at a fast
gallop along narrow path, short distance
from the roadway. Nailed across the path
was scantling, which Mrs. Whitney did
not see until too late. She was riding so
fast she could not stop in time to save her
self and was carried directly against the
piece of wood. She was struck in the fore
head and knocked from her horse. Luckily
her saddle stirrup was of the safety pattern
and her foot did not catch when she was
thrown to the ground. When picked up she
was unconscious and had a long ugly cash
just above the eyes. She was carried to her
palatial residence in this city, where DR..
Valentine Mott, of New York, who was in
the party, attended to her injuries. He pro-
nounced her wounds very painful, and said
that she would be confined to her room for
some time
