This = = faie Of : good parrot that
went wrong. Out in the st. Marks
section Of Brooklyn, where some peo-
pie live and others dwell in fiats,
there is pious old lady who owned
and loved the parrot, but who scorns
1t now. Her iceman owns the bird
now. and. such arc the pecuAarities
of human nature, he looks upon II "a
the most Interesting proposition
that ever happened" says the New
York Times.
It came to pass when the dickey
birds were winging north to have :
green-goods game worked OF on
them in the shape Of spring, that
the pious old lady of st. Marks ave-
nue. tore herself from the feverish
palpitating life which obtains in
Brooklyn to ease her nerves for q
spell in her native village up in st.
Lawrence county. And the gooa par
rot went with her. Up in the native
village dwelt the daughter of the
pious old lady, whose hard luck it
was to be married to man who could
not get away from the place.
The days went by, as is their pc
culiar wont, even up in st. Lawrence
county, and rolled themselves into a
full, round month, but the pious old
lady Of st. Marks avenue chung to the
old, homestead until her son-in-law
casually tackled the railroad time
table up in the kitchen. and she knew
that the free board limit was reached.
So she packed her grip and left. And
the good parrot came down with her.
The swing of the train and the
hum of the wheels were lulling, and
the good old dame, ere the pulsating
heart of the great metropolis had
been reached, had dropped asleep.
"N'York-all Quit" bawled the train
guard. And the old lady, startled out
of her dreams, hustled out all in .
f1utter.
And under the seat the good parrot
was left behind, in his little travelling
cage.
It befell that the good parrot spent
a day and night in the baggage
room Of the station, waiting to be
claimed. In that place there were
men who spoke to each other in .
patois which was strange to the par
rot, but which he learned quickly
when they were pleased to address
themselves to him. At the end of the
day and night the pious old lady
came back and found the bird, and
was overioyed thereat. Whereupon
she took Poll home and put him in his
gilded cage and worked herself up
into fine frenzy of delight over him.
And while she was yet in these hys-
terics, the elder who passes the hat
in her church dropped in to have .
talk over the good work, as we'll as
to have ''shy" at any free lunch
that was likely to appear. The pious
old lady told him of the happy recov-
cry of the bird, and he rejoiced with
her. Then, to make grandstand
play for the coffee and chicken salad.
he ambled over to the cage and poked
the bird playfully under the left
wing.
"Hello, Polly, is 100 glad to get back
homer he inquired, most affection
ately.
Poll pulled cocoanut wafer out of
his face, cooked his head on one side,
and quietly remarked:
"Ah, wot'ell?"
"Say," said the iceman, as he was
Juggling in a short-weight piece the
day after he had taken the parrot
home, addressing the kitchen maid;
''that ere bird is about the warmest
proposition what ever roller-skatcd
down the asphalted avenue"

A FABLE FOR WOMEN.
From Which They May Derive SuE-
EestiOn as to the MismanaEe-
ment of Husbands.

There was once a woman who felt that
her husband stayed out too late at night
She therefore devised plan to cure him
of this. Her plan was to rise early In order
to insure his refining early, writes Josephine
Dashman, in Century.
"Only in this way viii he be able to get
enough Sleep" she said.
Her husband, who usually endeavored to
please her, rose without complaint at six
o'clock, but continued to stay out late. Per-
ceiving that her purpose was not accom-
plished, the woman changed the hour to i've
o'clock
''Thee morning hours are the best fer
work" she said, "and / understand that the
morning air possesses great virtues
Her husband objected, but rose at five, as
she wished
Still he continued to come in late. Then
the woman fixed the hour at 4:30.
81 have always enjoyed seeing the sun
rise" she said.
cidedly, II shall not go to bed at all, since
it would not be worth my while. I will
stay up all night and take my sleep at my
Office in the afternoon. So we will have
breakfast at three O'Clock, if you like"
This teaches US that the early worm will
turn.

SHE DECLINED.
Gave the Sutton to Understand That
She Was Not in the Patch
ing Business.

Few American youth have careers made
for them. Those who deplore this fact and
shun the stings of self-efOrt may find tonic
in the reply of western girl to an offer OF
marriage, says Youths Companion.
A young man of more book-learning than
force of character lost the young wife who
had toiled to support him, returned to his
native town for consolation, and found it.
and the sad youth soon appealed to we'll
known clergyman for assistance in finding
a hepmate.
The minister introduced him to a west
ern girl of health and energy, who the next
day received a plaintive note from the wild
over. He declared that the Lord had made
great inroads upon his marital affections,
and it now seemed to be His will that she
should repair the breaches of his life.

TROUT ON ZAP.
the Fish Business in
Queer Way.

In the days when the only means
of rapid communication with East
port was by steamboat from Port
land and ST. John, n. B., Bert Bean,
a commercial traveller. came here
from Boston and paid visit to Camp
obello island, which belongs to New
Brunswick, though only short dis
lance down the harbor, relates the
New York Sun. Bean had a little
money, and liking the island he
bought tract of land on top of the
hill. His purchase contained about
100 acres, in the middle of which was
a small pond in a hollow about 200
feet above tidewater. which washed
the shore less than rs rods away AS
the pond was fed by springs, Bean
had it stocked with trout, which were
caught in brooks on the mainland
and brought over in pals. Then he
went away for four years. On his
return the pond was swarming with
fine trout. Though the place had
been fished by expert anglers, they
had never met with any luck, because
there were so many caddice worms
and other insects in the water that
the fish had no need for taking the
hook.
Bean consulted a lawyer and found
that as his pond contained less than
ten acres it was his to hold and pro-
tect against all corners. He waited
few years longer and sent down
a crew of men who bored a hole from
the shore through the bank facing
the ocean inserting a water main
in the opening When he had mt a
turn tap in the pipe so far inside the
hill that it would not freeze in win
ter, he was ready to supply fish to
order. Orders were taken in Boston
and other large places for as many
trout as he could furnish. Then Bean
came to Campobello, turned the stop
| cock, drew off the water and picked
up his fish as easily as he could kind
lings. He always left enough to stock
| the pond with young fry, after which
he closed the faucet and allowed the
springs to fill the pond for the grow
ing of more trout

6eSaIaanl Kurn.W

A correspondent of the London
Times tells of an elephants good
manners and of the tenacity with
which an idea once received adheres
in its memory.
While visiting the ''zoo'' some time
ago I took my children to see the
elephant and to give them a ride.
After the ride I wanted to give the
elephant a bun, and to make him say
''Please" said "Salaam kuro''-that is,
''Make a salaam."
The animal looked at me hard for
some time and at the bun in my
hand. At last memory came to his
help, and up went his trunk and he
made a most correct sa1aam.
The keeper seemed very much sur
prised and asked me what it meant.
told him it was point of good man
ners for an elephant to raise his trunk
up to his forehead if anyone was go
ing to feed him, and that frequently
elephants will ask in this polite man
ner for something when they see any
one pass by who is likely to feed
them.
The keeper assured me he had never
seen the elephant do this before, and,
if remember rightly, he had been in
charge of the animal since it arrived
from India.
For II years this animal had never
heard these words and had always
taken his food without this mark Of
good manners.

washington Ontll : ali.
Washington, June 1S.-Mrs. McKin-
ley's condition continues to improve,
and there was no consultation of
physicians at the White House during
the day. Surgeon General Sternberg
one Of the consulting physicians, has
left for the Philippines and DR.. Rixey
did not consider it necessary to call
DR.. Johnston, the other consulting
physician. II the present improve
ment goes On it is expected Mrs. Nc
Kinley will be able to travel soon
after July 1. The president will then
accompany her to Canton, where the
Mckinley home has been made ready
to receive her. How long the presi-
dent and Mrs Mckinley will remain
in Canton will depend. upon the bene-
fit Mrs. Mckinley receives from her
stay at her old home. After she has
been there for some time, if the wealth
er is oppressiveiy warm and her physi-
clan recommends change, the presi-
dent probably will take her to some
quiet place in the mountains or at the
seashore. In any event when the
president departs for Canton with
Mrs. Mckinley early in July it will be
to remain away from Washington for
the remainder Of the heated term. He
may return for day or two once or
twice during the summer, but he will
not again take up his abode at the

DEsUuToRY DISCUSSION.
Nothing Of Importance. Occurs at the
Cabinet Meeting.


Cabinet Meeting.
Washington, June 19.-The cabinet
meeting was without important fea-
ture. There was desultory> discussion
of the Chinese settlement, the situa-
ton in the Philippines, Cuba and Por-
to Rico, but nothing of moment de-
veloped and no action was decided
upon.
The president is prepared to issue
his proclamation declaring the aboli-
ton of duties between the United
States and Porto Rico If the insular
legislature at the extraordinary ses-
sion called for July presents facts to
him to sustain the claim that the rev.
euues under the Hollander tax law
make the island self-sustaining.
The cabinet believes that the Chi
nese settlement is close at hand. In
talking Of this settlement Secretary
Hay suggested that the amounts vol
UNFAIRLY paid the American missionar-
les by Chinese provinces should be de-
Quoted from our aggregate claim of
$25,000,000. The general sentiment of
the cabinet seemed to favor This
course, but no action was taken.
Secretary Hitchcock reported that .
decision Of the courts in the suit to
enjoin him from, proceeding with the
opening Of the Kiowa, Comanche and
Apache reservation in Oklahoma prob
ably will be rendered in a few days.
Until the court acts nothing further
will be done.
