SMART PARROT
Saw Girl Steal Furs and Testified
 Against Her.
From the New York Herald.

From the New York Herald.
 Pepita, a Mexican parrot turned detec- tive yesterday and indirectly recovered a set of furs which had been stolen from her mistress Miss Josephine Limmer, of No. 51 East Ninth street Miss Limmer has had Pepita for four years.
 Pepita has a name for each of Miss Linn mers regular callers, but Is by no means equally friendly with them. One, however, has been a particular ravonte and has been greeted always by cries of pretty girl" So often was this endearing express sion repeated that Miss Yetta Frankel of No IA Forsyth street became known in the house by the name given to her by the parrot.
 When Miss Limmer went home yesterday afternon a $50 set of furs was missing. Vafnly she searched wardrobes and trunks, and finally appealed to the parrot.
 Who's been here, Pepita?' she asked. but the only reply was jargon.
 What sort of parrot are you anyhow?' she demanded Here you talk so much that 1 am almost tried to death of you. and yet when I ask you simple question you don't answer me-" Then, disgusted, she gave the bird smack across the head.
 Miss Lmmers sisters, Miss Seintia Hart VIE, Of No. 223 East One Hundred anu Twenty-first street, arrived just then, and she, too, asked the parrot who had been in the room.
 Pretty girl" screamed the bird. Pretty girl. l never lie. Pretty girl. l never lie.'
 Her suspicious thus aroused against Miss Frankel. Miss Lmmer went to the police. They were inclined to make light of the parrots testimony but finally followed the clew In Miss Frankels home they opened a trunk and in 1t found the furs which Miss Lmmer said she had lost
 Paul Diamond, a boarder in the F'rankel house, was arrested, as was Miss Frankel herself. She said she had bought the fury from man,

As for the spurious sportsmen, they go to the studio where scene Is set for them in short order They pick out the front of the cabin they prefer, and rough board and quick work with the brush produce sign, Camp Comfort" or "Nimrod Home" or any other old designation. Stuffed deer are brought out and hung up, and, If necessary. hunting togs are lent to the sitters. Then "supers" are called in to make up hunting party The photographers press the button and do the rest.
 When customers of the other class arrive from the woods with real game the ingenuity of the artist is taxed to get background to meet the ideas of the patrons.
 Many photographs have been pub lished of a sportsman sitting upon a carcass of a big deer or moose, or standing, rife in hand, beside fallen forest monarch" The fallen mon- arch" which figured in many of these pictures Is worn almost bald by being dragged so often from the studio to a little glen in the rear, and the deer are often in need of repairs to keep the hay stuffing in place. Not long since the photographers turned owt score of hunting scenes for a railroad publica- ton. They made three different camps of their one structure. The mangy moose was propped in various lifelike positions, and the deer were worked singly and in groups; in short, the whole game region of Maine was GOV cred in less than half an acre of woods.
 Any money in 1t for the photogra- phers? Well. it's cheaper for spurious sportsmen to get photographs than moose.

come to Minneapolis on excursions run
by different lines. The Wisconsin

ing. The Great Northern brought in a
big trainload Of people Sunday morn
ing from Pipestone and other towns
along that line. The Minneapolis &
St. Louis road hauled a big excursion
in from various towns along that route.
Rates of less than one fare for round
trips were the temptation to which the
excursionists succumbed.
Everyone Of the downtown hotels
felt the pressure and fed two or three
times the usual number of Sunday
diners. After dinner the parks and
other places of amusement were crowd
ed with the excursionists as well as
Minneapolitans. The railroads also
