A REMARKABLE
PARROT

Whether it is memory aided by nat
ural instinct, or the power of discrim-
ination based on reason which makes
the remarks of talking" birds so eX-
tremely aproDos at times is mighty
hard question to decide. In the mean
while. the repartee of these birds loses
none of it's interest. For example:
There's a green-headed Mexican
parrot attached to a Western stable
of thoroughbreds CHARTERED at the Ben
ming track that stands swell chance
of being ruled off by the turf author
tiles if he doesn't behave better. says
the Washington Post.
THE stable to which the parrot IS
attached is quartered close to the Pad
dock gate, On sunny days the parrots
roomy cage is hung from rail close
to the entrance gate to the paddock
Many of the club guests pass into the
club stand through the paddock gate.
Among the early-arriving guests of the
Jockey Club the other afternoon was
a swagger-loolling young couple. The
man was a somewhat demonstrating
chap, and the young woman was an
exceedingly pretty girl, in an up-to-the
minute racing outfit. The pair stood
just within the gate for a moment, un,
decided as to which direction to take.
The parrot scratched his head interest
eddy as he sized the young woman up.
".Why, Aggie, come right over here
to papa!' he piped, and the couple,
not seeing. him, gazed with amaZement
and suspicion at the group of lounging
stable hands and apprentice jockeys
around the stable door. You look like
certified check You look like the
money all three ways across the
board!' went on the piping voice IN
chopping sentences. oh, shucks! For
two cents I'd hand you ridiculous
hug right under the bamboo tree, you
pea cherino! Come ovuh yonduh to
yo' man this minute! Why, pity sakes
alive, think could learn to love you
Aggie!'
The young woman blushed deeply,
and the young man glared loweringly
at the bunch of stable hands and
youngsters.
Don't get het up, PERCY croakea
the tantilizing voice. Don't get rude.
You can't tech me; my fingers are
crossed! Whoa, there. Oh gosh. amt
this sporting life h?
"The girl saw the parrot first and
pointed him out to the sore-lookinE
young man with her. He grinned
tsheeDishly, and they passed on.
s.tGiddy piker! Chip on'your shout
