An Insulting Parrot.

Bayard Taylor relates the following
about parrot once owned by lady in
Chicago says Our Animals Friends.
When the great fire was raging, an
owner saw that she could rescue moth
ing except what she instantly took in
her hands. There were two objects
equally dear, the parrot and the old
family Bible, and she could take but
one. After moment of hesitation she
seized the Bible and was fastening
away. when the parrot cried out in a
loud and solemn voice, Good Lord, de-
liver us!" No human being could have
been deaf to such an appeal. The pre-
cious Bible was sacrificed and the bird
saved lie was otherwise clever bird.
In the house to which he was taken
there We're among other visitors gen
tleman rather noted for volubility.
When the parrot first heard him, it lis
tened in silence for some time, then, to
the amazcnent of all present it said
very cmphatically, "You talk too
much"
The gentleman, at first embarrassed,
presently resumed his interrupted dis
course. ThereUpon the parrot laid his
head upon one side, gave an indie
scribahly com!cal and contemptuous
"H'm-ln." and added, "There he goes
again!'

"It's too bad" Mrs. Washane gave a

dear, l did 1t in self defense. I'd heard
how you told your second wife of the
virtues Of Susan. And I'd heard how
she came at last to the conclusion that
you didn't think she was worthy to un-
tie your shoestrings and so died. And
then you told your third wife that she
had been a treasure, that Matilda was
not to be mentioned lightly, that she
was a worker, helpmate, woman OF
thousand and you could never forget
her worth; and then Jennie died and
you put on her tombstone what you
never told her you thought about her;
and then Carrie heard of Jennie's
goodness and how you could trust her,
but died not knowing that you trusted
her, too; and then Mary-the sweet

Mary became your wife, and you never
told her that she made your home as
happy as heaven, and she died And,
John, dear, didn't want to hear what

you the chance to hear the kind of talk
your wives had heard-and--John,
