The Maracaibo parrot came to The
Willows to squawk and scold on the
same day that Mr.. Thompson Warner
came for very different purpose.
The Maracaibo parrot had borrowed
six colors from the rainbow to make
up his beautiful slick coat. He pos
sessed a beak curved like an eagles,
and vocabulary sufficiently lurid and
picturesque TO delight and amaze a

The parrot, however, had come from
the hot, palmy countries. present
from Miss Linnie's young brother,
whom she loved dearly. The splendid
bird, being first placed In the front
parlor, dedicated and consecrated his
new abode In these words:

arose with a shrek and hurried the
bird cage into the dining room. But
Jerry did not fancy the change, and
he set up a terrible screeching:
"Landlubbers, ahoy! Four bells
four bells--lemme go, you black
stowaway OF galley doctor!"
The longer the bird was kept in the
dining room, the worse the clamor
became, until Miss Linnie despairing-
ly returned him TO the parlor, where
he became reasonably quiet,
Mr.. Warner arrived that day, rather
prim In appearance and sober In mlen.
Jerry greeted him with a hippant
ship ahoy-you blink-blanked deck

Miss Linnie, however, did not dare
remove the big bird to the dining
room-and anyhow she was very
much absorbed in what Mr.. Warner
was saying. Even to Jerry, IL was
evident that there was something
wrong somewhere. Therefore, when
he heard Miss Linnie tell Mr.. War
ner mo" very TREMENDOUSLY, yet very
determinedly, he became sober and
forgot to squawk "Good-by" at the de-
parting Warner.
| For a long time Miss Linnie sat,
head bowed. Then she paced the floor
and talked to herself, and Jerry re-
membered every word. Finally she
went upstairs and-shiver Jerry's
timbers-if here Mr.. Warner didn't
come back. lie was alone in the par
Tor for a long time before Miss Linnie
would come down, and he murmured
things which Jerry put into his parrot
heart.
Finally Miss Linnie came down-
all white and shaky--and Mr.. Warner,
rising and biting his lips, demanded
certain letters and tokens. oh, things
we're going very bad with these two.
But Jerry-the schemer-squawked
out:

Some of these farms are occupied by
families who will never develope them,
and if energetic families would get hold
of such farms, many of which can be

ditions would be materially changed at
the end of five or ten years.
While all Vermonters are justly proud
of the many sons-and daughters-who
have gone from the state and occupy
positions of great responsibility, in fact
have made name for themselves, it is
also fact that great many who have
gone forth to seek their fortunes

Entrants Returning.

The tide of emigration from the
northern tier of states has been setting
toward Canada for several years past,
but at the present time it would appear
that the tide is turning, or about to
turn, according to the following ed
itorial from the Burlington Free Press.
at is announced by the reclamation
service in Washington that thousands
of American families who have gone to
the Canadian northwest from different
parts of New England, as well as other
parts of the country, under the lure of
the Dominions fascinating immigra ton
bureau, are returning to the United
States. Many more are planning to come
back later on, and the tide of migration
has plainly turned.
Representatives of the reclamation
service who have talked with returning
migrants quote them as saying that
practically every American farmerin the
neighborhood of Alberta, where the
Canadian government maintains an ir-
rigation project, was anxious to get
back if he could sell his holdings in the
Dominion.
The American settlers were dissatis'
fed with the character of the land, the
crops from which, they alleged, consist
ed principally of alfalfa and such hardy
grains as winter wheat, and even these
were not sure. The form Of govern
'ment did not appeal to them, and they
considered the railroad freight rates eX
horbtant. The climate also was /
source of dissatisfaction, ice and snow
in August and September of last yea
adding to their discomfort.
In the last nine months, it was said a
the reclamation service offices, fifteel
thousand settlers have returned from
Canada, and the prospect for genera
backward movement was bright.
Vermont needs a large number o
families to help cultivate many hundred
of acres in this State, which are so neg
lected that they may practically be sale
to be going to waste. In some sections
of the State many farms are not pro

Conscience Money in Pension
Bureau.

Not infrequently the commissioner of
pensions receives communications con-
tanning COINCIDENCE money" from per-
sons who confess to have received pen.
sions through dishonorable means or who
continue to draw disability pensions
when the cause for which it was granted
has ceased to exist. 1t may be remark
ed, enpassant, writes Catherine Franc.
es Cavanaugh In the Bookman, that there
are thousands of such cases which are
not at all touched by conscience, Chris
tian Science or suggestion, and the pen
sion bureau bears on its rolls many men
who were not entitled to pension for
permanent disability, though in the
course of time they might be for such
an incurable disease as seniity.
When conscience letters come to the
pension bureau special examiners are de-
tailed to investigate the cases; for it .ie
sad, but true, that in nine cases out of
ten restitution is not offered on account
of an awakened conscience, but because
of feeble mindedness in its most hopeless
stage, and now and then, because som
person wishes to attract attention to bis
"soul stunts,"-as hardened sinners or
harmless nonentities like to at the
mourner's bench.
But for the sake of our faith in the
ultimate goodness in everybody, we are
told that many cases of genuine repent
ance have come to the attention of the
pension bureau. This is but one of the
many. A soldier was drawing pension
for gunshot wound received at the battle
of Gettysburg.
He was not only pensioner, but il
the eyes of the community in which he
lived hero. This position he held fol-
years. Then one night he attended {
camp meeting, and while there became
struck with the sinfullness, the falsenes!
of his life. That night in the blessed
darkness of their chamber he told hi
wife story that at once shook her sou
at loss of faith in him, while at the sam,
time he gave her double-fold faith il
his soul of honor, which had not beer
dead, only stunned. The story he tolt
was that he was but lad when Gettys
burg was fought. He had witnessed tn,
awfulness of the first day, and, fearin,
that he would be ordered into the thicl
of action on the coming day, he secret
ly shot himself so as TO be excused from
duty,
