Regeneration of the Parrot.


One day a man who had had consider
able experience with parrots happened
to come in. and when l complained of
the birds loquacity he said: "why
don't you get an owl7 You get an owl
and hang him up close to that parrots
cage. and In about two days you'll find
that your birds dead sick of unprofit-
able conversation"
Well. got a small owl and put him
In a cage close to the parrots cage.
The parrot began by trying to dazzle
the owl with his conversation, but II
wouldn't work. The owl sat and looked
at the parrot just as solemn as a min.
lister whose salary has been cut down,
and after awhile the parrot tried him
with Spanish. 1t wasn't Of any use.
Not a word would the owl let on to un-
derstand. Then the parrot tried brag.
cling and laid himself out to make the
owl believe that of all the parrots In
existence he was the ablest. But he
couldn't turn q feather of the owl.
The noble bird sat silent as the
grave and looked at the parrot as IL to
say. This is indeed a melancholy ex-
hibition Of imbecility." Well. before
night that parrot was so ashamed of
himself that he closed for repairs, and
from that day forth he never spoke an
unnecessary word. Such. gentlemen,
is the force Of example In the worst OF
birds.-W. L. Alden.

THE SCOOP

Copyright. 1901. BY J. o. Whatemor

The Morning Blazer was about to go
TO press. The lino1Ypes were clicklng
frantically on the last takes. the Dre-
man was dancing about the last form,
and from below floated the babel of
the newsboys' room and the rattle OF
the delivery wagons In the alley. The
last reporter had struggled out, and
none Of the brain of the paper was on
hand except Gilroy.
Gilroy was the night editor, and he
was anything but at peace in his mind.
"a bum rag this morning a bum
rag! Nothing but rot and rot-nOt a
line of hot stuff. But there's nothing
doing-nothingv'
Gilroy had worked hard and worked
his men harder to get out a creditable
sheet, but the results were disappolnt-
ing. He was viciously jabbing The
cockroaches upon his grimy desk with
his shears when some one gently
nudged his elbow. He wheeled around
and faced a strange figure, face
drawn and haggard with "A pallor which
brought a muttered dope eaterw from
the editor-a form attenuated. clad In
seedy ard shining black. with a minis
terial coat tightly buttoned at the
throat; shifting eyes beneath an old
SLOUGH hat. 1t booked like clear case
of touch" and GilrOy was bracing
himself for it.
The man. with trembling hands, drew
from an inner pocket several sheets Of
manuscript. and as he smoothed them
carefully he spoke In nervous. hurried
tones. with a tense undercurrent of
anxiety:
ITS a scoop. sir-'pon honor. a dead
scoop! Police don't know it. No one
knows 1t but myself mean-er. Give
me V. and it's yours = exclusive
Only a V. sir; worth double. SIR"
Gilroy's eyes were running down the
lines at lightning speed as with the
practice of years he absorbed the story
1t was admirably written in an odd
but legible hand. with all theearmarks
of an old reporters copy. The story
was of q murder which had been COM
mitted but an hour before in an alley
directly in the rear of police bead
quarters. A Waterman had been found
with his throat cut from ear to ear,

in the world. The watchman's keys,
money and watch were left upon his
person. which left the motive to be ex-
planned.
For once in his life Gilroy was In
newspaper saints from their inches to
take a story under these conditions.
1t might be a fake pure and simple.
or 1t might be the greatest scoop which
the Blazer ever printed. All this time
the man was keeping up his plaintive
pleading for "A v. sir; only v. and
it's the chance of lifetime. sir"
ITS Just a gamble. but here goes"

into infinitesimal takes and yelled to
the foreman:

turning to the stranger:

spoke az II he would do II.

away something like a tear of disap-

Mr.. Barney Cook of Salt Lake is
visiting in the city this week. Mr..
Cook, although advanced in years,
retains much of his youthful vigor
and is quite entertaining to talk
with. He was through the western
country fifty-two years ago and he
can tell some hair-raising stories of
his frontier life. He is originally
from Missouri, having lived there
during the anti-bellum days. He can
give many facts of the days of bond
age and he is very familiar with the
underground railroad system. He
raised Mr.William Owsley from a lad
of ten years, until he was old enough
to battle his way through the world.
Mr.. Owsley, through kindness to the
slaves in assisting them to escape
through the underground railroad
was forced to leave his native land
and thus he came to Montana when
a young man. He was elated upon
seeing his old Uncle Barney, as he
calls him, and provided the very best
accommodations for him in the Ows-
ley block. through Mr.. and Mrs. Lee
Bell. He is contemplating residing in
Butte permanently.
