Polly's Pride Was Humbled.

Y : - IS.
Walter #. Pierce of South Charles
ton, o., who recently received an APP
pointment asafellow of romance Lam
guages at the Johns Hopkins univer-
sity, tells an amusing incident con-
corning nature studies.
y A tree had blown down ton his
fathers estate near South Charleston
and a baby owl was orphaned by the
catastrophe The gentleman took the
bird under his care and In time 1t
grew to maturity residing In a neigh.
boring tree and on most friendly terms
with the household.
Not long afterward a relative asked
that her pet parret be permitted TO
remain with the family during her
own absence from, home. and Polly
was duly installed. Received with all
cordiaiity. Polly declared war at once
and met friendly advances with a
fierceness of beak and claw that cans-
ed the most daring to retreat.
Her cage was set inside the pane OF
a window. One morning as she
swung leisurely to and fro repeating
for the miIlionth time the brilliant
words, Polly. good morning. the
great gray owl finttered softly down,
perched on the sill beyond the glass
and looked solemnly in upon her.
There was one blood-eurdling shrek
from the affrighted parrot, and the
next minute she lay in dead faint
on the bottom Of the cage.
1t was meek and stricken bird
that finally returned to consciousness,
and for the remainder Of her stay
she gratefully sought the friendly pro
lection Of whoever would deign to
notice her Baltimore Sun.

drawing and submits It 10 the Judge A
time limit should be fixed within which
the drawing must be finished, but this
should not be too short, for good work
Of that kind cannot be done in rush.
When the drawings have all been
finished they should be arranged 80
that all the players can examine them
and gIiess what names they are intend
to to represent. -.
Two prizes should be offered, one
for player who guesses more Of the
names than any either player does.
and the other for the player whose
work Is done best. The Judge makes
the decision. BY agreement it may be

Famous Financier's Protested Note.

John w. Reilly 400 East Fayette

papers belonging to his father the pro
test on note of Robert Morris, the
famous American fnanciel' Of the Rev.

as follows: -

It seems singular irony or fate

MONUMENT TO REVOLUTIONARY
HERO IN DECAY.
Erected by the Corporation OF the City
OF New York on the Grave OF John
Pauldlns, II is Forgotten in the
Stress Of Modern Times.

The good people of tae staid old
Revolutionary war town OF Peekskill.
n. Il, are ,itteripg remarks about New
York. They are saying that the
metropolis, with its vast appropria-
tions each year, its many historical
societies, and the apparent interest
manifested there In preserving histori-
cal spots and sites, should take better
care of monument it erected three
quarters OF century ago at Peeks-
Kill. that it should send up a COM
mittee TO ride out to the old Vancort-
landtville cemetery and look at the
condition OF the monument. A few
dcllars expended wisely, they say, will
putthe stone, the iron fence, and the
surroundings in proper condition.
The monument stands where are
buried the remains OF Gen. Seth
Pomeroy, the Revolutionary war hero.
to whose memory the Sons OF the
Revolution erected handsome shaft
