CLEVER POLLY.

Polly was parrot who lived in
a big apartment house. and on all
the nice days during the summer
Polly sat in her wire cage on the
back porch. Like most parrots,
she quickly learned to initiate
people. and one day quite aston
ished her mistress by calling "Po-
tatoes, cabbages, apples-hooray!'
just like the huckster who drove
his wagon down the street every
morning.
Polly liked company, md she
was never SO happy as when the
children would play in the yard
near her porch.
One of the children, Nora. often
brought Polly a bit of cracker or
apple, and the bird would put
down her green and yellow head
to have Nora scratch"
One day Nora was busy doing
some tasks for her mother when
she suddenly heard her name call
ed. But none of the children who
were playing in the yard had call
ed her. Again, when all the chill
dren had gone. she heard some
one call. Thinking someone was
playing joke, she stood in a cor
ner of the porch to see whom the
culprit might be.
Then what do you suppose she
discovered? Polly! That clever
bird had heard the children call
her favorite Nora" and SO she
had initiated them.
You may be sure that pleased
the little girl so much that Polly
was given a larger slice of apple
than usual as reward.

had a resolution prepared which lie
will introduce In the common council
next week, by which the commissioner
of public works is instructed to order
all persons operating stands which
encroach on the public sidewalks 10

refusal, the public works commissioner
is instructed to request the assistance
OF the police department.
There will be considerable opposi-

downtown locations, and Aid. Gutman
has q plan which he will ask the coun.

At the present time, there is an or

enforced insofar as Cadillac-sq. was
concerned. They were unable to Sc
cure any relief at that time except al
arrangement by which the walks were
to be left comparatively clear between
