Malice Of Old Sarah churchiiL

An electioneering squib written
in the reign Of William III. de-
scribes the scenes Of the hastings in
Guildhall when the platform was
crowded by "all the folks in furs,
from sables, ermines and the skins
Of cnra." Swift has mentioned q
"Ballad Full of Puns," which was
produced during the Westminster
election of 1910. But we have more
precise records of the deeply de-
signed stroke Of electionecring pol
icy ascribcd to old Sarah, duchess Of
Marlborough, who, wishing to annoy
George Grimstone, who was oppos-
ing the success of her ,nominees, had
q fresh edition printed of a very
stupid comedy called "Love In q
Hollow Tree" which had been writ
ten by Lord Grimstone and which,
being heartily ashamed'o # it, he had
suppressed. The inaplacablc Sarah
reprinted the silly play and, affixed
to it an engraving representing an
elephant dancing on a'tight rope

Poll Parrot Talk.

cts all nonsense this continual
josh about parrots swearing" remark
ed Frank Edwards, the Michigan
venue bird man, as he playfully
chuoked his aged cockatoo under the
chin-or rather the bill.
"Most of the parrot stories, anyway,
are myths" he continued, as the vi
cious bird orawied around his shoulder.
"1n ell my experiences with parrots I
have run across but three that swore,
and n Of these was a female with
the worst kind Of q vocabulary.
but talking about birds swearing
this cockatoo has q little history along
that line. She used to belong to Q

joint. The bird learned q heap of
bad talk and mad u vocabulary Ella.

~saloonist brought her to me to dispose
Of. l knew nothing Of her history
and sold her at once to q man who
was looking for a Christmas present
for his daughters. He took the bird
home and the girls were delighted
for o while. But it wasn't long be-
fore the fond father brought the cock
atoo back post haste and said I could
sell it for 8 plugged nickel for all he
cared. 1t was not only communicating
the whole household but was driving
away all his friends and neighbors.
Imagine the CONSERVATION Of the
two daughters, showing off the bird to
their friends, when the dear old che
devil ripped out q string Of oaths. It
seems she has q peculiar habit of
swearing every time she sees q woman,
and you can't break her Of it.
"Parrots are taught to speak simply
by repeating words and simple SEN
tences to them over and over. They
don't know what they mean. They
are discriminating sounds. Most every

foundation Of all parrot learning. I
once had o bird that I tried to keep
from that one sentence, but somehow
he heard it and sprung it on me one
day.
1.-THE more things a bird can say
the more valuable he is. I have one
I value at $50, which has a vocabulary
of about 80 words. Parrots learn to
speak because their tongues are more
like those Of human beings than any
other bird. The cockatoo is the same,
and the maybe and minor will also

Mr.. Edwards has many other pets
besides the parrots and cockatoos.
He handles rabbits, birds Of all kinds
and goldfish in great numbers.-De-

Nancy Came Back.

Ta. Coioutl aud | were riding along
e Kansas highway when we came to
q river in food and q man sitting on a
log holding a horse By the bride.
When asked about our chances for
fording the stream the man replied:
II wouldn't try it. Nancy aud me

"And did she make the crossing?"
asked the Colonel.
"Noap. I told her she couldn't,
and sho didn't"
"You don't mean she was swept
away?"
THAT'S what she.was. The boss
didn't keep his feet a mint. l stood
right here lookin' when he turned
over and over, and 1 jest got M
glimpse Of the ole woman as she throw
ed up her arms and went out Of
sight"
"And you are '4,st smiling about
it, exclaimed the .Uolonel, in great
indignation.
IL can't help it," replied the old
man. "She was determined to hev
her way if it killed her. I told her
and told:her, but she--."
He stopped short and his smile
faded away. We heard a movement
in the bushes close at hand, and as
we turned the old man started off at
his best speed. Five seconds later a
bare.headed, bare-footed woman, with
her vet garments cliDging to her like
a plaster mold, sprang out Of the
scrub with o club in her hand and
took out after him. AS they disap-
peared over o ridge half a mile away,
she was almost near enough to hit him

~, Ahr', LvN 1t mIdGlc-aecd man Of
affairs, and achieving such success as
comes in the South only by hose who
work hard. and this is the message
tho old negro sent: II totcd you when
you was young, now Jon tote me till
/ die
The message was needed. The old
man was sent for and installed in his
cabin and told to stay there and sit in
the sunshine and enjoy himself tho
remainder Of his days. Everything is
furnished to him that is necessary to
make this possible and he does his
part to perfection.
There is a strange coincidence in
connection with this story. The logs
that the cabin is built Of were cut and
hewn by the same old man in his young
or days. The cabin was removed from
it's original place and rebuilt to give a
bit Of picturesqucncss to the forest,
with little thought at the time that
the old negro would ever occupy it
again.
This is a true statement Of facts,
and it shows the feeling Of the original
owners of the negroes toward them.
Now. if you do not believe this state
mcpt just come down and see for your
self, and that is just what you should
do, and others, before expressing au
opinion on the subject.

the Saturday Evening Post, Grover
Cleveland, when ne was President,
found great de)isitin fishing. Among
the canal men and fishermen, of the
vicinity many interesting incidents Of
the eminent visitors outings are re-
peated.
AT the place on the Potomac known
as Point Of Rocks the President was
fishing one day and, with DEMOCRATIC
simplicity, chatting with some canal
boatmen. One of the latter remarked
that the people in that vicinity were
very glad to see the President enjoy
ing himself.

are two ideal states of happiness in
this world, and ono Of them is to fish
and catch something" and he pointed
to his string Of bass.
whats the other happy state?''
ventured one of his auditors.
"The other great felicity" replied
the President, pointing to one Of the
members Of his party who had been
casting his line diligently and with
great enjoyment, but without other
visible results, sis to 6sh and not
catch anything"
