PARROT SAID "DROP IT."
The Visitor Did So, Smashing the
Costly Vase.

The Visitor Did SO, Smashing the
Costly Vase.
A story is going the rounds wherein
figure two well-known Columbus
women and a parrot. Mrs. A. paid a
social call at the home of Mrs. B. the
other day and was ushered into the
sitting room by the maid of all work
to await the appearance Of Mrs. B.
Mrs. B. had come into possession Of
parrot only a short time before and
had been keeping the bird in the sit
ting room. Polly has a very good
command Of English and appears to
know when to use it. Mrs. A. sat
down with her back to the bird with
out noticing it and as Polly made no
sound she remained in ignorance Of
its presence.
Observing a beautiful vase on the
mantel, Mrs. A. arose from her seat
and, crossing the floor took down the
dainty piece of bric-a-brac' to examine
it, She gazed on it rapturously, COM
pletely absorbed by it's elegant deco
rations when suddenly from Just be-
hind her came the shrill and stern
command:
Drop it! Drop itv'
Mrs. A. obeyed and turned with a
scream to face the imperturbable gaze
OF Polly, who sat in her cage with
her green head slyly perked to one
side. On the floor lay the beautiful
vase, smashed to bits. At this most

plain the situation, says the Ohio State
Journal, Polly shook out her feathers
and remarked:

no idea of how I felt. 1t dazed me. we
had been dividing profit and loss Tor
years, and he had always taken care that
he got his full two-thirds. You should
have seen the general at our interview
last week, barricaded behind table,
and torn between fears that the hotel
would hear and that / would assault
him. Why, man, the investment was
made on the strength of a telegram from
him; but the cunning fox had so worded
it that it proved nothing. His esteemed
wife was never before so close to that
happy day, which l have no doubt has
been long waited, that deprives her of her
husband and gives to her his fortune.
When I reached home remembered a
letter, searched for it and found it. Dur
ing the days when things looked bright
he had sent me note in which the affair
had been mentioned as his investment,
and expressing a doubt as to the fairness
of the usual division-rapacious old
scoundrel! He wrote father that l had
taken government money, did he? | be-
lieve I told him l did was putting the
case strongly-but had not; it was too
near pay day. However, the old rascal
weakened when l showed him a copy Of
the letter, and put up more money. After
a little the stock rose, and we sold out
at loss, of course. Come, let's get
back"
Tazewell put his arm through that Of
his younger companion and led him down
the hall. ''There never was but one
man." he said, genally, 81 hated to see
opposite to me at the poker table, and
that is old man Henry, of Eastover."
II believe he is our best, though he
has had a moral fit lately and won't
play"
Tazewell shook his head. Its mighty
serious when one has that form of dis
ease late in life. My hair is gray, and
I'm getting on; as yet | have escaped it,
but one never knows. Not that the fear
Of it keeps me awake nights"
Darlington glanced at the gambler
face, at the thread-like lines of red in
the cheeks and nose, at the puffiness I'M
der the eyes; there were no signs of the
disease of morality there. In truth. he
had suffered little from its attacks him
self. He wondered idly if the older man
had found the night before good enough
to compensate for the day after.
The poker players were still intent upon
the game. Tazewell led Hugh to the ia
BILE. Gentlemen" he said, "we have
noble game; only this gentleman is a pu-
pill Of the masters maturer years, and
so further advanced than l."

CHAPTER VIII

James Darlington of CartersbroOk was
a good son, a good brother, and loyal
friend. He had passed his first youth
bachelor, though by no means heart
whole. He was we'll read and intelligent,
and the worst of a long line Of bad farm
ers and worse managers. On his moth
er's plantation it was always a feast or
q famine. There were either so many
horses for him to ride that it was an ex-
ertion to exercise them, or he was reduc-
ed to a lame plough horse, as at present.
But in all eXigencies he was the same
cheerful person, careless to slovenliness
unspeakably lazy at intervals, and ready
to impoverish himself for a neighbor.
just now the family was in an agony
of preparation for the marriage of a
daughter to a young lawyer of Rich
mond. 1t was the occasion for a general
renovating of the house. Mrs. Caring
ton worked furiously, and her ordinarily
sweet temper became uncertain. James
felt himself sadly in the way at such
times as these, and very much abused
but bore the nervous irritability Of his
family with angelic sweetness. He ate
with his overseer, or went without, slept
anywhere he could find a bed, and made
10 complaint at the purloining of his
clothes or shoes by members of the army
of negro women cleaning up On the
morning Of the appointed day he opened
his eyes upon a bare room, the old ball
room Of the house, its floor shining with
polished wax. He looked over at an alarm
clock on chair near his cot HALF past
four" he murmured. THAT thingI go
off at a quarter past five" He con-
templated it q few minutes in silence 81
hate an alarm clock" he continued. He
reached over and moved the Indicator so
that the bell would not ring until noon,
gave a contented sigh, turned over and
nestled down in the bed. I've choked
that off, anyway" he said, yawning
widely. Il believe I'll lie here and think
little, before l get up" His thoughts
must have been very engrossing, for it
was two hours later when next he look
ed at the clock. "Oh well, it's so late
now it doesn't NATTER" he said. Pm
sleepy"
There was a demonstration at his door,
and an old negro woman in turban polk
ed in her head. Ain you never gwine
ter git up, Mr.. Jim?' she asked.
"All right" he yawned
In the kitchen a busy army was mix
ing, peellnS, roasting and making. Out
side many little boys were raking the
lawn, and three men were hanging the
gate. James wandered about rstlessly
until dinner. For that meal he stole a
pie cooling in window, and suffered
general depression in consequence until
the guests began to arrive.
They came in buggies and buckboards.

daughter from the faded glory of ba-

spirits and overlooking with cordiality.

Many Delegates Are Robbed.

Pickpockets reaped a good harvest dur

Many complaints have been made to the
police about losses sustained by the dele

other delegates lost smaller amounts.
A gang of pickpockets went through the
crowd and helped themselves to anything
they could get, and the list of losses is

Officers Reopen Pesthouse.

The recent sale of the Waukesha Wa
ter Company property was set aside by
Judge Seaman in the United States Court.
This action was taken by the court for
the reason that an offer of $4,000 more
than was bid for the property has been
made. 1t appears the bidders believed
they would have to defend lawsuit of
the Hygeia Ice Company of Chicago,
which claims the property. The trustee
informed the bidders at the last moment
that they would be protected against the
lawsuit. This makes a great difference
and accounts for the raise in the bid.
