ONE ON GRIMES.
His Experience With a Parrot in
Kansas City.

Kansas City.
The Kansas City Times today con-
tanned the following:
"A very valuable parrot at the union
depot yesterday afternoon created a
laugh at the expense of Frank Grimes,
state treasurer of Kansas, who came
in on a late train yesterday afternoon
The parrot had a pretty good command
of the English language, and when Mr..
Grimes passed near it in going through
the depot, it called out in a decidedly
masculine tone of voice:
5" Hello, Frank How is everything?'
Nov, when anyone asks Grimes how
everything is going, he naturally SUB
poses the Burton campaign for the
caucus nomination for United States
senator by the Republican minority in
the next Kansas legislature is referred
to. So Mr. Grimes suddenly stopped
taking his short-grass strides, believing
that one of his friends had called to
him. Turning around he saw standing
near by a man whom he thought he
recognized.
Since our. delegation nominated
Roosevelt everything is going our way
with a whoop,' he said, stepping up to
his supposed interrogation, his face
wreathed in smiles.
Who is Roosevelt?' the parrot in
CURED. The man Grimes addressed was
standing between him and Pollys cage,
so that the latter was hidden from the
view of the Kansas treasurer
Who is Roosevelt" Grimes replied
in establishment. Haven't you ever
heard of Teddy, the man J. R. Burton
forced to accept the vice presidential
nomination on the Republican ticket?
Who are you, and where are you from,
anyway he concluded, for he now saw
that the man he thought he knew he
didn't know at ALL
Guess you'd better answer the par
rot replied the stranger with a grin,
stepping aside so that Grimes could
see the bird.
That's a funny looking fellow,
said the parrot when it saw Grimes.
But Mr.. Grimes didn't hear. He
was hurrying away with a crestfallen
countenance. He had missed an OPP
portunity of telling how the Kansas del
egation had been the original Roosevelt
men at the convention and how Burton
stood right next to him. He didn't re-
cover his equilibrium untilhe had drunk

BELLOWS FALLS NEWS.
Anunw.Icoms Intruder.

H. H. Davis found an unwelcome in
truder in his residence on the corner of
school and Atkinson streets ct an early
hour Saturday morning. He was going TO
Boston on the train leaving here at 2:30 A.
N and having arisen for this purpose, in
nassing through the kitchen, found a man
sitting beside the stove. He was a
stranger and seemingly in an intoxicated
condition. With some difficulty Mr.. Davis
succeeded in arousing him sufficiently to
accompany him to the depot, where he was
left in charge of the night baggage master,
and later put in the lookup. He was
brought before Justice @. II. Williams
Monday, and on a charge for intoxication
was sentenced to ~ days in the work
house. Chief-of-Police Thompson accom-
panied him there Tuesday afternoon. He
proved to be young man named Lewis
Comstock from Winchendon, where his
parents are living. Mr.. Thompson re-
ceived a pathetic letter from his mother in
response to an inquiry as so whether he
had friends who would pay his fine. Dur
ing the day Saturday and Sunday sensa-
tional stories were rife on our streets re-
garding an attempted burglary, the use of
pistols, etc. 1t is probable that the fellow
had become intoxicated and oblivious to
his surroundings, and walked in at the first
door he could find unfastened.

The death of Mrs. Henry H. Davis,
which occurred at a private hospital in

til her marriage in 1875, since which time
her home has always been in Bellows Falls.
She had endeared herself to many friends,
both in Saxtons River and Bellows Falls,
who will mourn her loss. Mr.. Davis has
the heartfelt sympathy of the community.
Besides her husband she leaves a sister,
Mrs. Susan Noble of Rutland, and broth
er, Charles Burroughs, Of Fitchburg, Mass.
The funeral was held from the house yes
terday at 230, Rev. D. L. Sanford and
