HORRID PARROT.

Eddie Foy tells story of the pe- riod during which, he admits, he thought himself bit of a "a winner" among the women. According to Mir. Foy's account he was much smitten with , young woman whose father was quite partial to pets. Among the old. mans collection was parrot which was a particularly fine conversational- ist. One evening MT. Foy remarked that friend of his possessed bird almost as clever as this one; and he added, somewhat facetiously, that his friends parrot could Initiate to perfec- tion the sound of kiss.
 Is that among the accomp lishmerts of our feathered treasure in the cor ner?n asked he.
 Whereupon the young woman, with some show of indignation, responded. ;. Tt is not. I'll have you understand, sir, that our parrot does not attempt an im- Eitation of a sound he is not accustomed to hear

One very successful feature of the educational work is the department of instruction to attendants on the sick. The purpose of this department is the training of young women to be atten- dants in the care Of convaleseents. fec ble or elderly persons, and sub-aeute and chronic cases These attendants assist and sometimes follow trained nurses. There are many intelligent wo- men who are unable to give to study the length Of time required to become a trained nurse; and there are many fam lilies, who, for economic reasons are obliged to do without trained assistance in times of illness.

THIRTY YEARS CAMPAIGNING.

Political Marching Club in Springfield
 That Has a Long History.
 Campaigning with Capt Horace c. Gould of the Pioneer Corps has been counted privilege by many residents Of Springfield. This old-time Republic an Inarching club has had such a prominent place in the history of National campaigns in this city and vicinity that there is not a little honor in having been connected with 1t. Back in the Hayes-T -Tilden campaign in 1876 the Pioneer Corps got it's real start. In that year, it will be remem- bered by those who follow political campaigns in the intricacy of their de- tail, the old "Eng ngineer Corps, another marching club, contained little bunch of men, eight in alL whose dress and general appearance under the magnify ing glare of the torch made them look much like real Pioneers. Their typical pioneer implements were painted wood. and their helmets of tin, but for all that the men who carried them were stalwart fellows, picked men, in fact. If there is any other republican cam paign club of this character which started at the time of the Hayes Tilden fight for supremacy, helped elect Gar field, shared the sorrows of two Cleye- land victories, rejoieed in the triumph of Harrison and Mckinley, and is now starting out with an unbroken record for Roosevelt.
