Our next door neighbor, writes
a correspondent, owns an amusing
parrot which is always getting into
mischief, but usually gets out
again without much trouble to
herself. When she has done any
thing for which she knows she
ought to be punished, she holds
her head to one side. and cycling
her mistress, says in a sing-song
tone, "Polly is good girl until
she sees her mistress smile; then
she flaps her wings and cries out:

could, followed by Poll, who
screamed "Shoo!' at every step.
A few days later Poll extended
her morning walk into the chicken

casion to remark to waiter in
restaurant where he sometimes
lunches: "Waiter, this beefsteak

at him with a sorrowful expression

TURNING THE JOKE ON
HERMANN.

When Bill Nye, in collaboration
with James w. Riley, was touring
the country as lecturer, he
stopped at a well-known Chicago
hostelry one evening, and was es-
corted to place in the big dining
room directly across the table from
a dark man with heavy, black
mustachios and Mephistophelian
goatee. Nye recognized his visa
Wis as Hermann, the magician.
but beyond a quizzical stare gave
no sign that he knew the eminent
prestidigitator Hermann was
very we'll aware that the bald man
opposite him was Bill Nye. but
did not indicate his recognition by
word or manner. Hermann had,
in fact, prepared little surprise
for the humorist, and several
others seated at the table were in
the secret.
Nye was about to lance leaf
from his salad, when he espied,
lying beneath it, a superb and
scintillant diamond set in a very
fine gold ring. Without showing
the least surprise, he lifted the
ring from the salad bowl, slipped
it on his finger, conscious all the
while that every eye was upon
him, and, turning to Riley, who
sat next to him, remarked, with
his dry, inimitable drawl:
Strange how careless [ am get
ing to be in my old age, James.
I am forever leaving my jewelry in
unlikely places
Hermann was dumfounded at
the sudden manner in which the
trick had miscarried, but he was
destined for still greater shock,
for when the darky waiter who
presided over the table brought on
the next course Nye turned to him
and, soberly handing him the
gem-set ring, said:
You are a very good waiter,
joe"
eyes, sab; 1 guess I is, sah.'
"And you always will be a real
good waiter. Joe?"
"Yes, sab; I'm boun' ter do ma
best, sah."
II believe you, Joe, I believe
you, and as an evidence OF my
faith in you, | want you to accept
this little trifle. Wear it, and al
ways remember the man who most
appreciated your services"
The darky's eyes bulged. Herr
mann's fork ratified to the floor,
and he tugged at his great mus
tachios, but was far too clever to
cut in with an explanation at such
an inopportune moment. There
were half-suppressed filters all
around the board during the rest
of the meal, which the professor
of occult art did not appear to en-
JOY.
At late hour that night Herr
mann was heard in loud argument
with the dusky recipient of the
diamond ring, trying in two Ian
guages to convince him that it
was all joke on the part of Mr.
Nye. Finally, after disbursing a
tip of more than customary liber-
atty, Hermann got back his ring.
He afterward avowed that the
stone alone was worth two thou
sand dollars, and that Bill Nye's
nonchalant presentation Of it to a
grinning mental had spoiled a
whole evenings performance in
legerdemain.-
