NEW WAY TO TEACH PARROTS.

Photograph.

A Philadelphia woman enjoys the dis
tinction of introducing an improvement
In the method Of teaching parrots to

the parrots to practice upon the woman
sets photograph going, retires to a
rocking chair and takes it easy. The
monograph does all the teaching.
Persistence and patience, both of
which the monograph has, are necessary
to instill into the parrots mind the
lessons which must be learned before
its linguistic ability is such as to bring
the birds marketable value up to a
profitable figure.
'The birds learn as readily from the
photograph as from the human voice"
said the woman. Il think they pick up
the words more rapidly, too. It saves
time and time is money week usual

DORA MEEK ENTERS
ANOTHER TRANCE
Doctors Are Unable to Rouse

Centralis, Ill, Oct. 90 Dora Meek
the young girl who aroused so much
interest throughout the county last
winter by a sleep of several weeks
duration, relapsed into unconscious
mesa about 8 o'clock last night, and
the indications are that she has en-.
tered into another long slumbcr.
All to-day she remained uncon
scious. Doctors and members of the
family who have carefully watched
her through two of these periods Of
sleep are more fearful than ever that
she may never awake. They are oil

After rallying from her slumber
last spring she seemed to get strong

some time she had been employed In
the family Of Mrs. Fred Doe Of this
city. Miss Meek had given no indi
cations whatever In the last few days
Of the approaching sleep.
About 1880 o'clock last evening
Mrs, Doe called to ISIS Meek, who
was upstairs entertaining the chill

Miss Meek was conveyed to the home
Of her parents, seven miles from the

While many Republican leaders
have derided the suggestion that
President Roosevelt will not be the

There is very strong undertone
in favor OF Hanna among nearly all
the Republican leaders who visit
Washington and there are many who
believe this will become open and
vigorous and develop into a success

Hanna has stated that he sis not

drawal from Mr.. Roosevelt's cam

help from New York the Hanna move
ment may yet develop into great
force and effectiveness.
1t will be borne in mind that the
majority Of the real Republican lead.
ers have as yet expressed no opinion
as to the advisability Of Mr.. Roose-

Lodge and Depew have been really
vociierous for it; but expressions
from genuine leaders like Platt OF
New York, Allis, n and Cullom.
Speaker Cannon and a dozen or more
equally prominent men in the senate
and house have yet to be heard.
There is little doubt that many of
them would welcome an announce !
