PAT is A DEPRAvED PARROT.
He Frishtens Bathers and Gets Drunk
Because His Name Is Chanoed.

Philadelphia Record: Lenore. a par
rot that recently had it's name changed
from Pat by It's owners, Mr. and Mrs.
charles McDermott, participated in
more weird and WOODY adventures dur.

noon and last night than ever were in

in or out of the Poe phantasy from
which his owners plagiarized Pats new
name. Fanciers declare the birds an
tics We're intended to show, resentment
for his changed name and fondness for
the old order of things.
The parrot started on a cruise along
the third floor level and made mis- first
stop at an open bathroom window. A
tall, slim maiden lady was slipping into
the bathroom. She was a very warm.
tall, slim maiden lady, so she lost no
time in submerging herself. She had
just begun to splash blirhely in the
tub, when it occurred to the emerald
plumed bird to again resent his re-
christening. So sticking his head In
side the window, he declared savageiy:
ME name is Patti"
Startled by voice calculating a

covered her face and rising from the,
tub, ran shrieking from the room. Pat
Lenore then invaded the bathroom and
hoped into the medicine chest. ana
sticking his beak into the muzzles of
various bottles, took swig of this,
that and the other thing, including
cough syrup, cologne witch hazel, per-
oxide and sundry other lotions and spe
cifics containing alcohol. The sum to-
tai of the mixture was sufficient to
raise Pat-Lenore's spirit above all sucil
mere mundane affairs as the weather
and the proprieties. He then staggered
to the next bathroom window, where
stout matron was splashing in the
tub. When he cried, ME name il
Pat!" she mistook him for a theft, ana
instead of fainting, she called for her
husband.
"Ha! ha! ha! hooray! Hick! hick!
hooray!" chortled the parrot, Tapping
his wings and zigzagging his way to
an adjoining house.
After several other visits Pat Lenore
lost his way home and strayed into the
apartments OF John Kaiserhoof, at ia
West One Hundred and Twenty second
street, where he was found sleeping
Off his patent medicine Jag.

TEDoY's TASK.

oh, what will Teddy do, you ask,
Oh, what will Teddy do?
Will he select some mighty task
Or in fame's sunshine idly bask?
All, If we only knew!
Oh. What will Teddy do, you say;
All men the answer seek;
Has he come home again to stay,
Or will he pack and HE away
To hunt big game and speak?
Oh, what will Teddy do, you cry
On every side it's heard;
You wonder If he'll learn to fly
And write new stuff about the sky,
At record price per word.
oh, what will Teddy do, say you
The query stirs the breezes; ,..
But can feel just what he'll do;
Take this from me because it's, true
He'll do what Teddy pleases!

Northwestern Hospital.

The reopening of the Northwestern
hospital, after the changes which were
made, has and is proving great boon
to the physicians of Moorhead who are
approaching the facilities it affords At
the present time it is fast reaching the
extent of its capacity. Among the ar
rivals Of patients during the last day
or two are Mrs. e. M. Swenson from
Hillsboro, N. D., Mrs. Qualley of this
city and Mrs. Rgdman of Wolverton,
all of whom were subjected to opera
tons, the latter a very serious one.
But for this institution there would be
very crowded conditions in the hospi-
tails IN Fargo.

Grain Opinions

Bartlett Frazier e. Co.: The con-
tinued apathy on the part of the mil
lers and the continued free movement
from first hands will tend for the
present to make a large accumulation
which we think viii way on the mar
ket We therefore are inclined to
think that we may :a,e a sagging
market for q time. We can see moth
ing at the moment on which to advise
purchases of corn and are inclined to
take the short side in a moderate
way on strong spots.
Logan & Bryan: Active milling de-
mand or some export business would
be a great help on the buying side
OF the market but without these helps
and fine weather for harvesting and
marketing it would appear that the
seller temporary swells will have the
best of it.

Chicago, Aug. 5.-Cash people are
bearish on wheat and say there is too
much of it moving toward Chicago
to get bullish at present, notwith-
standing the active cash demand re-
ported from tho southwest. They fig
ure that Chicago will have 5000 900
bushels by Sept. and probably be-
fore. which will take a year to dis
pose Of on ordinary demand. Local
professionals were bullish and long
having bought wheat all day long al
though a few went out of their hold
ings on the late break. It was said that
the three big commission houses sold
over 100000 bushels long wheat yes
terday and it is surprising how much
Rankin, Cutten, Darrell and all the
other local professionals who were
bullish during the day. A trader who
is regarder as one of the most con-
sentative, discussing the market said
that on the basis Of a Gal 900, 900 bush
ell crop, present wheat prices are too
high. Bulls are looking for the French
to get excited and buy heavily and
make an advance.

Santa Claus left a generous stock
ingful of good things In the Temple
theater this week. and audiences that
crowded the theater to the last inch
of room, Monday. laughed and ap-
plauded with merry good will. The
theater was prettily dressed in Christ
mas green's and holly wreaths and
looked very festive and bright.
One of the prime favorites coming
often to the Temple is the sketch "In
Old Edam," which like the cheese OF
which IL reminds you, improves with
age. Sam Chip and Mary Marble are
as roly-poly as the pudding which goes
before the cheese. They are delight
full entertainers In their quaint Dutch
costumes. Miss Marble still sings of
her love for "leming pie and has a
couple of other ditties. When We're
Married Wen Live on Love" and "Oh,
How that German Could Love-" that
made big hit with her admirers. Mr.
Chip and Miss Marble dance prettily
and their act is one Of which the pub
lie never seems to grow weary.

yaudevillian TO offer a burlesque of

antics may hurt the artistic sense OF
the highbrow they never fail to tickle
the risibilities OF the vaudeville audi
ence, and screams Of laughter greet
him wherever he goes.

vaudeville entertainer whose act does
not blight with winter winds or sum

invariably excellent. Her college
