sistent training its mistress has taught
it tricks which greatly amuse the
townsfolk and astonish those who
have always believed that ROSTERS
have no brains.
Ruth has named her pet Teddy in
honor of President Roosevelt, and TAX
es great delight in putting him
through his PAGES. His first duty each
morning is to crow loudly outside his
mistress window. after which he
awaits patiently for her to arise. At
washbowl filled with warm water,
hops in and stands quietly until he
has been thoroughly soaped, washed
rinsed and dried with a hairbrush and
crash towel. He is then ready to
show what he can do in the way of
tricks.
OF all his stunts the best is playing
horse. Little Miss Prentiss has a
small doll cart made by her father
to which are attached a pair of wide
spreading thills. Between these tf:'lls
Teddy backs and is fastened with rib
bOns. He then strides off ostrichlike
to the nursery, where the cart is laden
with dolls. The dolls are now given
an airing in the piazza, about the lawn

gee and haw method used with oxen.
The rooster has never been known to
run away or overturn his charges.

REFUSE TO BURY THEIR DAUGHTER
Parents of Young Woman Allow Her
Body to Be in Morgue Awaiting
Burial.

TACOMA. Feb. 25.-With father
and mother who, it is claimed refuse
to recognize her death, the body of Mrs.
Pearl Aurzada Howe lies at the C. c..
Mellinger company's undertaking
rooms awaiting funeral arrangements.

the deceased will come forward and see
that proper burial is given her out
side the potter's field.
The woman is said to have had some
sort of trouble with her parents some
years ago, since when she had been
living in Tacoma. Her parents. who
are living near the reservation, stated
when informed of their daughters
death that they did not want to hear
anything about her nor did they want
to make any arrangements for the
funeral.

OWLS Can TALK AND cuss
Perverted Wisdom of This Sage Bird
Finds Vent in Vocal
Objurgations.

LIMESTONE, Me. Feb. 25.-An owl
that can talk, or, at least utter sounds
easily recognized as words, is owned
by Bert Franklin, OF this place, and is
proudly exhibited to callers as the
greatest of feathered wonders.
Last year Mr.. Franklin read in a
newspaper an account of a hen that
had been trained to sing like a robin.
except that it used only the four notes
OF a bugle. Neighbors doubted the ac-
curacy of the account, but Mr.. Frank
lin accepted it as true and offered to
bet that he could teach an owl to talk
He had already split the tongue of a
crow and trained it to say several
words.
No one took the wager, but Mr.
Franklin caught barn owl and started
in giving it lessons. He met with no
success SO he put the bird in a cage
adjoining that occupied by the crow,
split its tongue, and began all over
again. He figured that by starting with
words beginning with the letter 90 he
would have the best success, so he
selected "Owl," ouch. OK, on and or
ton, proposition and a conjunction
The long double 60 in the natural
boot of the owl suggested words of this
character and the choice seemed adj
mirable for the wise old bird got it's
own name, "TOOt,' on it's tongue within
three months.
The crow helped amazingly In one
way and another it had picked up
phrases enlbodying lurid adjectives and
epithets, and when the owl insisted on
when the crow wanted to sleep, Mig"
as he was called, objected in no gentle
terms. He told the owl just what he
thought of him, and in order to get
back at his enemy the nocturnal dis
turber repeated what had been said to
him, only he said it louder
In the daytime, when it is natural for
owls to shut their eyes and snooZe.
Mig evened up matters by shouting
irritating questions in his neighbor's
ear and harassing him until he beat
his wings with rage and screeched out
powerful lungs. His vocabulary seemd
to enlarge as his anger grew, until both
he and the crow We're able to sass"
each other in the most approved fash
ion.
The owl speaks fluently now, but it
isn't every one who can understand all
he says. His master and Mig" have
no difficulty in Interpreting his re-
marks.

with, whipped out an automatic Colt
revolver and turned it on Elgin.
Elgin dropped in his tracks. bullet

CLEVER AD FOR BUTTERFLY
Ingenious Press Agent O'Grady Gets
Out Paper in News-Hungry
Butte.

Steve O'Grady, one of the men in
Opera company, who passed through
the city yesterday, turned a neat ad-
vertising trick in Butte the other day
for which he is being praised by all
the people of that city. O'Grady ar
rived in Butte the night that the print
ing pressmen there struck for wages
of Sc a day. The printers joined the
pressmen, and the publishers of the
conda declared that they could not
pay the increase, but would instead
shut down their newspaper plants for
an indefinite period. This was done so
quickly that the public had no notice,
and when subscribers did not receive
their papers they had no means of
knowing why. The telephone girls of
Butte also went on a strike this day.
O'Grady was quick to see the chance
for an advertisement. Hurrying to
job Office ne arranged for the publ
cation of a four-page six-column news
paper which was set up during the
night and issued under the fleeing
title The Butterfly The first page
was devoted to statements from the
publishers Of the suspended daily pa
pers, and from the printers and press
men. Both sides eagerly seized the
opportunity to give publicity to their
grievances. Two columns were given
over to an elaborate and sympathetic
story of the telephone girls strike.
The rest of the paper, or course ex-
plotted Madame Butterfly" Henry w.
Savage's big English opera company of
14S people, which recently started
from Chicago for a tour of the North
west
The price of the Butterfly in Butte
was placed at l cent, and boys went all
over the city selling copies at a nickel
each, which is all profit, for O'Grady
declared that Savage would never for
give him if he charged the newsboys
even a half-cent for the papers. Peo-
pie eagerly grabbed the copies and
begged OGrady to stay in town. and
get the paper out regularly He de-
clined, and Butte is still without the
news of the world, although they have
been pretty well informed as to the
day and date of the Butterfly per-
fOrmance

be inimical to the interest of a college
for women to have a great Jail estab-

cause Of the influence upon the minds

occasional and inevitable escapes and
because Of the great body of hangers
on that gather about such a state in

endangered and defiled
Il belive it an outrage on any law
