1aving accumulated a considerable

naturally enough, numerous requests
from various organizations to contrib

organizations were interested. Sell
dom, however, did he respond to the
appeals.
On one occasion the minister OF a
certain church in Gardiner approached
him, only to be politely turned away,
as many others before him had been,
on the plea of poverty.
But, Mr.. Whitmore," said the di.
vine, you are reputed to be very rich.
What, pray, since you have no chill

money when you die?"
Uncle Nat" rubbed his long, bony
hands together, and with sinister
smile on his face, replied:
My good sir, that is a secret have
never confided to anyone, but as you
are minister of the gospel, and will,
presumably, hold inviolable anything
may say, I'm going to tell you"
The clergyman assured Mr.. Whit
more that the secret would be well
kept, whereupon the latter drew close
and, in a tone of the greatest conf
dence, said:

HERoIsM IN EVERYDAY LIFE.

Prof. William James of Harvard uni

journey he was questioning with him

ism Of life was passing out of human
society; and that at the very moment,
he looked from the car window and
suddenly got sight Of a number of
workmen performing some task on the

once brought to his mind sense of
the everyday bravery Of men in every

of battle and in desperate adventures,
but also in building every bridge, or
in the ordinary day-by-day service of
the world, whether OF the sailor upon
his deck, the brakeman upon his train,
the lumberman upon his raft, or wher-
ever else men are at work. "As |
awoke to this unidealized heroic life
around me-" he says, "the scales
seemed to fall from my eyes, and
wave of sympathy greater than had
ever before felt with the common life
of common men began to fill my soul"

PARROT RANCH.
The Only One in the World and It Has
Enriched It's Owner.

From the San Francisco Call.
Martin Hollis, an American, who estab-
lished parrot ranch near Victoria,
Mexico. a few years ago, has met with
wonderful success and has accumulated a
fortune in the business. 1t is probably the
only parrot ranch in the world; it is GER
tainly the only one in Mexico.
Hollis was employed for several years as
a passenger conductor on the old Monte
rey and Mexican Gulf railroad, now a part
Of the Mexican Central system. His d.
vision was between Victoria and the port
of Tampico, the gulf coast, through the
heart of the parrot country. He al
ways interested in the bright-colored birds,
and while running conductor, collected
many of them and taught them to speak
English. There were many tourists travel
ing up and down his line and he did a
good size business by selling the birds to
Americans and others.
The thought then occurred to Hollis that
he might make more money by retiring
from railroad work and devoting his time
to raising parrots. He followed the plan
and purchaseEa large tract Of land near
Victoria which was teeming with parrots.
He fitted up the ranch in an unique way.
Wire netting was placed around and all
over the trees and the birds were con-
fined therein. He has had the greatest sue
cess in raising the birds.

to the fullest extent. He says that at the

PROCEEDINGS NECESSARY.
After Soldiers Discharge Retention IL
ASYLUM Subject to Civil Process.

Asylum Subject to Civil Process.
A soldier although legally committed to
the Government Hospital for the Insane by
order OF the Secretary Of War. may not be
detained in the asylum after he Is dis
charged from the army unless proceedings
in lunacy are instituted and trial by jury
had, as in the case Of civilian.
Such is the purport Of the decision OF JUS
tice Stafford Of the District Supreme Court
today in the case of Daniel OKeeffe, an ex-
soldier. who sought release from St. Eliza
beth's by habeas corpus proceedings.
In his opinion the justice held that the
contention of the hospital authorities THAT
tn elawful commitment of O'Keeffe while a
soldier fixed his status and made lawful his
detention until discharged by their author
ity was not tenable. because by the dis
charge Okeeffe became civilian and was
no longer subject to military authority. AS
such civilian he had the right to trial by
jury for the determination of his mental
condition and the demurrer to the return of
the superintendent of the asylum must be
sustained and the petitioner discharged
from custody.
Assistant District Attorney ]. s Easily
Smith gave notice on behalf of the hospital
authorities of an appeal to the Court of APP
peals and asked that the petitioner be re-
manded to the hospital pending the deter
mination of the appeal. This request for a
commitment was strenuously opposed by
Attorney Charles Poe, representing O'Keefre,
and Justice Stafford refused the request,
but allowed the authorities until tomorrow
morning to determine whether they would
file lunacy proceedings and go to trial be-
mental condition of O'Keeffe. The petitioner
was returned to the asylum until tomorrow,
at which time he is to be released unless
the lunacy inquiry be Instituted.
