Both Ar. and Mrs. Mckinley became
very much attached TO the parrot and
wished 10 buy IT, but at that time it
was not for sale. Whenever Mr. Nc
KinIey would go near the cage Loretta
would say, Hello, Mac" and then talk
almost as iutelligently as a human.
Whenever any of the colored servants
at the White House got near the par
rot It would sing IAN Coons Look
alike to Me" and this always ticxled
the President immensely. The day LO-
retta was taken from the White House
President Mckinley asked Mr.. Schmid
10 name his price, but the gentleman
did not wish 20 part with his pet and
refused 10 sell. II was not until after
bfr. McKInley's death that Mr.. SchmId
sold the parrot.

Recently game Warden Perkins of
Bradley took q trip up to Wytopitlock
and drove 20 miles into the woods to
JohnSon's camp. the scene Of Reed &
Rings numbering operations. ana
brought back as Il result of the trip a
white deer which the men of the
camp had caught last fall and kept
ut the place all winter. The deer was
was secured without any difficulty ana
boxed up and sent to Monmouth. where
it vii! be placed in Il small park, an OBJ
ject Of unusual interest.
The warden says deer are 50 numer-
Gus that the lumbermen often have to
get off their teams and drive them on;
of the road into the deep snow in
order TO get by with their teams.
There has been but little violation of
the law in the matter of Illegal kill
ing this winter and no one need worry
but that there will be plenty left t.
shoot at next fall. The winter has
been very severe and the snow deep
but there have been but few cases
where deer have been found dead OF
dying aud those people who say that
the cold winters that we have in this
State are slowly DISCRIMINATING tho
deer don't know what they are talk
ing about. The Maine deer is Il pretty
hardy animal everything considered
and Il few snow storms won't kill them
al Of. in the opinion of those who
| know.
In the matter of the white deer men
toned above. the deer was a young
ore and was found by the choppers if
the woods and appeared to be lost and
no mother in sight. The men chased
it and caught it. then took it to CAM
and the cook being a, kindhearted mar
fed it on the finest fare the camp af-
forded. OF course it is against the law
to catch or have in ones possession
any deer or parts of a deer during close
time but in the present case the lum-
bermen were actually doing a service
to the state in taking it in for alone
the deer would have undoubtedly died
it being too young to look after itself
The aHmal is somewhat Of 4 curios-
ity as white deer. are seldom seen in
this State.
