POLLY THE JESTER.
How a Misehievous Parrot Jollied a
Windy City Physician.

How a Misehievous Parrot Jollied 4
Windy City Physician.
A south side physician gave his wife
a parrot which he had purchased for
his office. but which was so uncanny
and mischievous that 1t gave its own
or nervous prostration. Then he turn
ed It over TO his wife, with strict or
ders that It should be kept out Of his
sight.
No one can ever bank on a parrot,
and Mrs. Physician kept the bird in a
cage in an alcove of their room where
the doctor could not see it and covered
the cage with heavy blanket during
the time the doctor was at home. Pol
ly was as mute as mouse when COW
cred up. and the man of the house
never even surmised her proximity.
But one day when he was shaving
himself n sudden gruff chuckle gave
him such n start that he cut cash
in his chin. He looked toward the al
cove, from which the sound came. and
saw a white eye protruding through a
hole In n blankct--a fiendish eye, filed
with an unholy delight. Then hoarse
voice croaked:
"What yer doing?"
Cant you see what I'm doing, you
blamed foolT' roared the doctor, wip-
ing the blood from his chin.
Then Polly, with n wicked laugh,
twinkled that white eye mallciously as
she shrieked out the shibboleth Of the
barber shop:

How the FLOATING Pantry"

Fleet Kept 1t In Touch With

w EEPING the world in touch

of the feet was one of the nov
elites furnished by Rear Admiral Sper-
ry during his voyage from San Fran
cisco to New Zealand and Australia.
Time was when fleet was entirely
out of touch with the world as soon as
It entered the vast landless stretches
of the blue Pacific. For days at a
time anxious ones at home were un-
able to hear the welcome tidings "All's
well on board" Then some sailing
vessel or tramp steamship putting into
Honolulu or Yokohoma or San Fran
cisco would report sighting the war
ships In these scientific days, how
ever, vast stretches of ocean and mea-
ger cable service no longer rob Jacks
relatives and friends of daily informa-
tion concerning the welfare OF his ship.
When Rear Admiral Sperry left Homo
lulu the floating pantry" of the feet,
otherwise the supply ship Glacier, had
preceded him to Suva, Fiji islands,
from which point cable runs far
northeast along the oceans bed to
Vancouver, b. G. Between Suva and
the Samoan islands at intervals Of
hundreds of miles the auxiliary cruiser
Panther and the supply ship Yankton
were getting into position to form n
wireless chain of which the Glacier
would be one end and the oncoming
battleshlps the other.
The plan worked perfectly. Rear
Admiral Sperry had barely lost wire
less touch with the naval station at
Honolulu when his operators on board
the Vermont and some of the other
battleships picked UP the wireless dis
patches of the Panther and sent the
latest news in return. The Panther
forwarded the Vermont's dispatches by
wireless to the Yankton, hundreds Of
miles distant, and the Yankton In turn
