WHEN PERKINS
SAW OSCAR (,

Senator Perkins, of California. who
! profession, a merchant by neceSsi,,,
and a politician by accident. has had IN
/ his life more adventures than fan
/ within the experience of an ordinary,
man. Perhaps this is because Senator
! Perkins followed the sea for so many
years One of Mr.. Perkins most in.
teresting adventures was his meetinr
with King Oscar of Sweden and Nor
way.
Il was quite a boy then" said the
! Senator, telling the story yesterday. II
had sailed in the good ship Luna from
New Orleans to- Sweden, with a cargo
of cotton, and while the ship was in
port l thought 1 would like to see the
royal palace at Stockholm. One sun
day afternoon, in company with a
sailor named Harry Branscombe. an
Englishman, we went up to the palace.
Boy-like we wanted to get into the
grounds, and so we crawled through
a waste pipe which ran through the
walls around the palace park. AS soon
as we got inside, however, we were
arrested by the gendarmes, and as we
did not know a word of Swedish We
were in sad plight.
Presently" continued the Senator,
"a party of distinguished people came
along and seemed interested in our
trouble One person in the party spoke
English He asked us what we were
doing in the, kings park. / told him
tina, l was an American boy who
wanted to see the king and how the
king lived.
but don't you know, he said, that
you might be put into prison for tres
passing?
Oh I said, L don't want to hurt
the king; only want to see him.
II am King Oscar was his reply,
and then" added Senator Perkins, Il
learned that was really in the pres
ence of the monarch"
What happened to you them" ask
ed his listener.
"The king he replied, sent a SOL
der with us to show US the palDce,
and we had a splendid time. But that
wasn't the sequel to the story. Thirty
years later, when 1 was governor OF
California, / went off on little cruise
on a yacht, and who should be a sailor
on the yacht but Harry Branscombe.
He knew me and / knew him, although
we had not seen each other for thirty
years. 1 took him up to San Francisco
and gave him a place on one of my
ships" Washington Post.

GRAY PARROTS AS ACTORS.

The capacity OF the gray parrot fol

man language and for initiating the
cries and sounds made by other ami

which this parrot shows for saying
the right thing at the right time is

have been familiar with intelligent
specimens OF the bird. But / was not.
until recently. aware that the bird can
he not only an excellent mimic. but also
a good actor. and IL Is possible that
some OF your readers may be able 10
give other instances Of what / now
propose, with your permission. To re-
late.
My daughter had very clever gray
parrot. which. unfortunately. died on
the first OF this month. after a severe
illness OF three weeks duration. He
was brought to- my daughter straight
from the nest in Africa. and had he
lived another month would have been
about two years old. He was a singu-
larry clever bird, and OF a charming
disposition to his friends. though very
shy and inclined to be hostile to stran-
gers He was an exceptionally good
t1lker for his age. and showed remark
able intelligence I'm fitting his sayings
to the occasion. He was very fond OF
both fruit and sugar. but I never knew
him to ask for sugar at dinner or for
apple at breakfast. For nuts. which
were kept in a cupboard In the room.
he would ask at any time. and in many
similar ways he showed a vivid associ-
alton between the words and the things
represented by them.
But the remarkable. and. to me. nov
el. power which he displayed at so
young an age was that OF acting. He
n clever little girl plays with her doll.
For example. he would take the wood
In his claw and would say to IL. imitat-
ing the voice and gestures OF my
daughter or OF one OF the servants:
What, are you gong to bite me? How
dare you? / will take the stick to
YOU" Then he would shake his head
at the wood and say. II am ashamed
OF you. Whom did you bite? Go on
your perchi" Then he would take the
stick to the bottom OF his cage, and,
putting IL down on the floor. would hit
II with his claw several times, saying
Naughty I'll cover you up. / Wilt"
Then he would step back from it one
or two PAGES. put his head on one side
and say. as he looked at it. Are you
good now?"
NO attempt was ever made. deliber-
ately. to teach him this or any other of
MS histrionic performances. He pick
ed them up spontaneously from his
own observation and memory.-A Let

Chamberlain's Cough Remedy is in
