"T00TSlE" TOO LIBERAL
WITH "CUSS" LANGUAGE

fame for Family Use.

'Tootsie,' the profane parrot must
go. He threatens to ruin the charac-
tiers of two OF his green and yellow
brothers whose morals have hitherto
always been above suspicion.
TOotsie" is to be sold. He belongs
to Richard NJ. Mills. of 2217 Huntingdon
Street, who advertises that his only
reason for selling him is that he swears
in his vocal ulary."
''ToOtsie" came into Mr.. Mills pos
session about a month ago under guar
antee that he did not swear Within
twenty-four hours he had broken the
guarantee and shocked the two other
parrots belonging to the Mills family.
neither Of whom had ever said anything
more wicked than Polly wants
cracker
'Tootsies" evil ways are due 10 his
early environment. Before he came 10
the Mills mansion he had lived in a
barroom, whose habitues had found him
to be an excellent substitute for phono-
graph in the matter of reproducing pro-
family. His memory was unimpaired
when he became n member OF the Mills
family
'Tootsie" refused to be reformed.
When they threw water on him for
swearing he swore at them for doing It.
On New Year Day not an oath passed
his beak and il was thought that he had
sworn OF swearing. but the next morn
ing he returned to his old ways with in
creased vigor
''Tootsie's' companions at frs only
listened TO him in amazzement, but a
few days ago one of them marred a
spotless record by exclaiming, Darn
it!' That sealed 'Tootsie's" fate and
the advertisement was inserted
'Tootsie's" visitors yesterday included
a widow who explained that her late
husband had been a seafaring man who
was given to using language. 1T would
seem like home again TO hear cuss
words" she said
''Tootsie's' vocabulary contains such
gems as Go to blazes and shut the
door. Come up and have a drink.

your eyes, you son OF a sea-cook. -

parrot can be expressed only by dashes
