TEACHING A PARRoT.-A we'll
known country squire owned an equal.
" well-known parrot, which he chris.
tened Judy, because of his popularity
and reputation for saying funny
things. On one occasion the squire
was expecting his uncle for visit.
and thought it would be great fun if,
on the arrival of the said uncle, Judy
came out with:
"Halloa, Uncle! How are you p"
So one morning he tried to teach
the phrase to the bird. Judy, how
ever, was in depressed mood, and
she couldn't be persuaded to talk or
do any of her tricks. The squire who
was an irascrible man, shouted vio-
lently
"say unelel Say uncle! Say un-
Gle, 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 be
heard a great screeching in his fowl
ward. He hurried out and beheld Is
of his chickens lying dead, while Judy
was pursuing the Goth, at the same
time shrieking:
"Say uncle, you fool! Say uncle
you fool %
Judy had, after all, learned her les
son, but too well.

When Butler was in command Of

membered, many arrests for all sorts

One eccentric old gentleman who
had been excessively indiscreet in bis
comments upon the current events,
and who had been repeatedly but in
effectually warned to hold his tongue,
was finally hauled before the cockeyed,
man of destiny. IT was shortly after
the news of General Lees victory at
Fredericksburg had reached New Or
leans, and the rebels were very jubilant
over it.
"You have been expressing yourself
in a very disloyal fashion, under
stand, SIR" said B. F., with an unusu-
ally sour twist of his business eye,
'stalking very outrageously and in 9
style calculated to produce mischief"
The old gentleman protested that he
had said nothing particularly bad,
and suggested that the irate general
had been misinformed. But 1t was to
no purpose. Butler waxed more and
more indignant, and declared he would
send him to Ship Island. After much
discussion, however, the sentence was
revoked upon the old gentleman's con-
senting to take the oath, which he was
very loathe to do. The oath was ad-
ministered in due form.

The Rio Grande Junction road
will soon be confronted with a
problem of roadbed reconstruc-
ton. The water in last years S
overflow of the Grand did great
damage at many points along the
line. The increasing rains on
this slope have made the rocks
and land hang on as if by a
thread in many places. When
rain was less frequent, as it sure
ly was in the early settlement of
the Grand river valley, little dam
age was caused, but conditions
are changing. With the new fast
trans continental service, new
rails, raised road bed and much
blasting of overhanging rocks and
dirt will be necessary. 1t would
almost have seemed wise to COM
mence to lay heavy rails on this
end of the line, simultaneously
with laying them from Denver to
Pueblo While the work may be
delayed even to the danger point,
which would be unwise, it must
como sooner or later.

suit for a share OF the Daniels estate
The United States circuit court OF ap-

dsred an opinion affirming the decision
Of Judge Hallett OF the United States
circuit court in Denver.
The suit was brought after the death
Of W. B. Daniels to secure the widows
share of the immense estate. The heirs
sst up divorce obtained by Mr.. Daniels
and an agreement whereby Donna Ma
dixa had signed away all claim to the
estate for $4,000.
The petition in the complaint set up
that the agreement was made under
pressure when she was in q distracted
state Of mind'and unable to take proper
care Of herself or her interests. The le-
gality OF the divorce was also attacked
Judge Hallett upheld both, however,
and the court OF appeals finally sided

What is Osteopathy?

The question "What can Osteopathy
do for rheumatism, asthma or catarrh?"
is often asked. In these Affections Os-
teopathy works upon the same principle
as it does in other troubles.
These troubles are not all treated
alike The nrst thing to do is to find
what is causing the disease, then the Os-
teopath must 60 to work, keeping ever in
mind the exact relative position Of the

fluids are once more allowed to flow In
their prope. channels, thus nature rights
the condition known as disease.
BY way OF illustration take rheuma-
tism, condition which the best authori-
ties recognize as acid in the blood. They
also say that the kidneys or liver are at
fault in not extracting this acid from the
blood.
Now we say that it is not really these
organs that are at fault, but 1t is either
nerve or blood supply of these organs, or
perhaps it may be both nerve and blood
supply, being shut off, which renders
these organs unable to perform their
function.
We have found there is in many cases
a spinal curvature, or the 11th and 18th
dorsal vertsbras may be slightly rotated
an vertical axis, or perhaps two or
three OF the lower ribs may be dislo..
Gated. These conditions are not some

been proven by X-ray examinations
which prove that these conditions do ex-
