That Pat Took Him, For. and the.
Parrot Remained Free.
From the New York Tribune: :
At a little dinner the other night a
wager was laid that Marshall P. Wilder
could not tell fifty parrot stories in
succession. He did it without turning
a feather; and so many Of them were
new that the man who came away and
told about it could remember only one
: 1t was of the parrot which escaped
through a window and perched in a
tree. The owners efforts to capture it,
even with butterfly net were in vain.
He stood at the bottom of the tree,
swearing at the bird, when IN Irish
man came along.
What is the matter?" demanded
Pat: ~gyyr:- =
II can't catch that darned bird"
said the man, land here is dollar for
the man who: can" -,
+, II am the man." cried Pat, and he
started up the tree.
AS he climbed from branch; to
branch, the parrot did the same. Final
ly they neared the i top, and the
branches began to wobble dangerously.
The parrot was moved. to speech. =.
what the devil, do you want?" It
demanded. ~.>~:.,.E~ -

frolic of 1.-The Stolen Bride in 1771,
an old wooden building located: high

the Oldest landmarks in the state, was
erected 1875 years ago to serve The pub
lie on the stage route between Hart

Later it was residence and still
later the Episcopal -manse for North

The tavern acquired a wide notoriety
in the fall of III, when the bride Of
Major Moses Seymour, an ancestor Of
Gov. Horatio Seymour of New York,
and Judge Origen S. Seymour, chief
justice of the supreme court of Con
necticut, was brought there on horse
back and was secreted within the walls
for hours.
On the, day of the abduction Miss
Marsh, the accomplished daughter. OF
Colonel and Mrs. Marsh, had been pro-
nounced the bride Of Major Seymour,
at the home of her parents in Litch-
field. Toward twilight there was a rap
which the bride responded
AS she did so, a man whose face
except his. eyes. was covered with a
handkerchief, seized her, mounted with
his fair burden, a horse standing in
front of the house and rode away.
"You will find us at the tavern
cried the >kidnapper as he galloped out
of sight with, the bride.
Horses twere Immediately hitched,
and In few minutes the anxious BRIDE
groom the brides parents. and the
small party of guests were in pursuit.
A six-mile drive brought them to
the tavern, which was in total dark
ness. AS the bridegroom pulled the
doorbell, lights inside revealed the
stolen bride amidst gathering Of
friends. The bridal couple were then
united and asked to sit down to a
bountiful collation., secretely arranged
between. The kid, kidnapers - and the. hotel

Highly Finished Finest Time
piece, hut Ten Timc as Large.
From the Boston Evening Transcript.
There has just been finished at the
American Waltham watch factory a
mammoth watch, the largest in the
world. To build this gigantic timepiece
cost several thousands dollars and sew
eral weeks time. Special machinery
and tools were required for it's con-
struction. The watch is model of
the new model sixteen-size maximus,
three quarter plate watch, enlarged ten
times, perfect in every detail and as
highly polished as the finest watch.
The diameter Of the pillar plate is
seventeen inches, and the movements
is two and one-half inches thick. The
balance wheel is six and one half inches
in diameter and the brequet spring
which controls it's action is eight feet
long, 08 of centimeter thick and 25
of a centimeter wide. When running
the balance makes vibration in Z of a
second. The pallet stones are of sapphire
and exquisitely polishd. The actuating
J or main spring, is tWenty-three feet
long. IL of Il centimeter thick and 2.9
centimeters wide.
The mammoth model is as completely
jeweled as Il watch Of the finest grade.
The plate jewels, which are as large as
the smallest movement made, or about
the size of nickel five cent piece, are
fine rubies, about ten lines in diameter,
but pushed with sapphires. The polish
of the wheels, pinions and other steel
works is perfect, and beautiful. The
pendant and winding crown are of fine
bronze. brilliantly polished. Every por-
ton is made on exactly the scale of the
watch it represents. No dial has been
made for this movement, as it is de-
signed to show not only the action of
the train, but the em-winding and
stem-setting mechanism as we'll.
The movement stands on bronze
pedestal, and from its base to the top
of the winding crown is twenty-six

Eastern markets as buc}kwheat and
similar grades, so the operator makes
a profit out of what costs him nothing.
I saw one culm pile from which coal

Company stores no longer exist at
many collieries. Where they do, there
is no absolute rule compelling employ
ees to trade in them, but the man
who does is favored accordingly The
prices are usually 10 per cent higher
than in other stores. The one place
where l learned that dealing in the
company store was compulsory was the
Chauncey mine near Nanticoke-run by
an individual operator, who is in turn
run by the railroad companies.
At Nanticoke conditions seemed bet
ter than anywhere else I have been.
This is attributed to the fact that the
miners here where the first to organ
ize in the anthracite region after years
of disorganization. A five months
strike in 1899, which ended successfully
IN an increase of wages, started the
organizations boom in the region waich
resulted in the 1900 strike. The dock
age system at NanticoKe was reported
IN good shape, there being eheckweigh-
men on the tipple protecting the mems
interests. But the union has bettered
conditions, more or less, everywhere,
bad as they are now.
The majority of those on strike are
non-English speaking, Poles. Hungar:

predominating. 1t is admitted that
these constitute the most determined
among the strikers. They say they
Will never yield. And these are the

years and worked for lower wages than
those already here. They have progress
