TWO VERY SMART PARROTS
One, Called Polly, Chews Tobacco and
the Other Is Afraid Of Old Glory
When It Waves.

Within a birdseye view OF the Eagle
Office at Brooklyn, N. Y. are two as
remarkable parrots as could be found
in years OF wandering. One chews to-
bacco, but does not swear. She Is
owned by Henry Eberhardt, who runs
hair dressing establishment in the
savings bank block at the corner OF At
lantic avenue and Clinton street. She
rejoices in the simple name Of Polly"
and never occupies a cage, except at
night. All day long Polly can be seen
on an open perch through the big plate
glass window on Clinton street. In
the summer time Polly flies just out
side the window when thunder storm
comes UP and greatly enjoys a shower
bath. Polly. although nine years old,
has never made an attempt to escape,
and probably never will. Whenever
she sees man in the shop eating she
follows him around and leases him to
the best Of her ability. She likes cam
dy, is fond of coffee and will pick
meat bone clean. II she sees man
take chew of tobacco, she wants
little. too, turning bit OF plug around
In her bill as she would nut.
Polly" is a pugnacious bird II an
animal seeks close acquaintance. Mr..
Eberhardt once owned bull terrier
who attempted too great familiarity
one day. Polly made rush and slit
the dogs nose from top to bottom with
her beak. His dogship never ventured
near her again. This parrot whistles
and talks and sings a little in Span
ish. She initiates the crying and laugh
ing of children. In addition she has q
stable vocabulary. saying Hello Hen
ry!" cher owners name) and Hello
Doctor!" with startling distinctness.
She rolls on her back and does such
odd stunts as picking among the hairs

NOTHING BUT DEFAMATION.
Bryan's Malicious Attacks Upon
Those Who Are Not Of His
Way Of Thinking.

Mr.. Bryan has been maligned by many
Incorporate critics, but his fame began
In his own intemperance Of utterance.
and he furnishes good texts every week
for exhortations In behalf of sanity,
sobriety and fair judgment, says the
Chicago Record-Herald. In the latest
number of the Commoner, for example,
there is an assault upon Judge Parker.
whose gratuitous assumptions and Of
fensive implications would be possible
only to an irrational, self-absorbed per-
son whose sense Of the decencies of con-
troversy was thoroughly benumbed by
his violent prejudices.
Mr.. Bryan says that there Is no doubt
that the corporate interests have an un-
derstanding with Judge Parker" II
this means anything II is that the Judge
as president would be the mere tool Of
the corporations. He would violate his
oath to help them, would make his adj
ministration subservient to them In
every respect. A specific charge is that
he would appoint corporation men to
the supreme court, and in this connec-
ton there Is characteristic fling at the
three democratic justices and Justice
Holmes for their dissent from the mer-
ger decision. These four judges and
Judge Parker himself are traduced
through mean innuendo as though they
were faithless to their trust and the ene-
mics of the people. For the effect on
his readers minds Mr.. Bryan might as
we'll declare that they were vile, cor
rupt parasites, who were betraying the
public at the behest cf capitalistic com
bines. -
When the most is admitted for him
namely, that he is an honest enthusiast
for a cause-it Is yer! apparent never
theless that his method are inexcusable.
The effrontery or the insensibility with
which he ascribes evil traits and evil
motives to other men Is amazing. BY
common report all the judges at whom
he sneers are upright, conscientious Of
ticials and citizens. There. Is nothing
that we have read In the reviews OF
Judge Parkers life which would indicate
that he was not fully as scrupulous as
Mr.. Bryan. as good a man. as good
n y
neighbor, as honest politician. But the
Bryan opinion briefly stated is that
Bryan represents not only all the vir-
tues but all the people, all humanity.
while Parker is malignant, abhorrent
monstrosity formed to do the bidding
of soulless and wicked creations OF the
law
That we saw Ia the BRYAN opinion be-
cause 1t is the logical deduction from
the Bryan insinuations. Looking at the
spirit and import OF the latter, It would
really be impossible to exaggerate them
by any form OF statement They carry
the grossest insults to every person who
falls under the displeasure Of the CEN
sor. and the insensate egotism from
which they spring is becoming Infinitely
wearisome.

who has never been further than Is miles
beyond the walls Of his capital. Seoul.
In thoge eastern countries, like China
and Korea, to be ruler means to be shut
up In a palace, seldom leaving II, and
when ruler does 60 outside Il Is only on
some great and important journey, when
all the business in the streets must stop
and everybody get out OF the way. Only
once has the emperor of Korea Travelled
beyond the walls OF Seoul. That time he
visited the graves of some ancestors 15
miles away. One would think that ruler
could leave his palace whenever he
wished to, but ii Is not always go. as We
have seen. Only five times year does
the ruler OF Korea go outside his palace
prison. Then he goes through the main
street of Seoul to visit the temple.
The emperor does not even know the
streets of his capital. He thinks he does.
On the days he goes through the main
street IT looks like nice wide street. That
Is because 1t has been cleaned up for his
coming. On other days II is crowded on
either side with street pedlers and their
goods. He does not know that all the
other streets are narrow and dirty.
AS one would think, being emperor OF
Korea Is not all fun. He became ruler
when he was IL years old. Then. how
ever, he became only king. for that was
what the rulers OF Korea were called at
that time which was 1864. He was not
the son of the king who had died and
whose place he was taking. The old king
had no sons so they took this boy, who
was his nephew. Now. boys. of course.
are not able to rule countries the mselyes,
SO they did just as they did In Spain when
the present king was small boy--chose
some one to rule for him until he should
be old enough to do II for himself. In
Spain, It will be remembered. the boys
mother was what is called the regent. In
Korea II was the boys father TAI Wen
Kin was his name. lie YVES said to be
wicked old regent. He tried to drive the
foreigners out OF the country. and woull
not stop until some other nations made
him. Little can be told about the king
as a boy because little Is known about
him.
In course OF time he BEGAN really king.
but he had to pay money g China now
and then, as China claimed to have charge
Of Korea. Afraid that bad men might
want to hunt him as they did his wife.
whom they killed, he sleeps in the day
time and is awake at night. Once he was
obliged to run away from the palace and
hide for safety. 1t was partly about
Korea that Japan went to WAC with Chins
in 1895. and beat her. Then the little
king would no longer pay money to
China. and he told the other countries Of
the world that his country was an empire
and he an emperor. tits clear that the
proverb Uneasy lies the head that wears
crown" would tell how the emperor o.
Korea feels.
