PARROT CHEWS UP HER TAG
Express Employees Had Lively Time
Caring for 6ird-Oeath Follows
Delivery to Owner

ST. Paul, Minn.--A parrot, sent to
st. Paul from Chicago, chewed up her
address tag and made things lively for
the last ten days in the office of the
Wells. Fargo Express company. She
perished after reaching her rightful
owner.
Why, that parrot was talking the
whole blessed day; we could hardly
get in a word edgewse,' said one OF
the clerks we took her out of the
box every day to feed her, and we al
ways had trouble catching her again"
Polly was shipped to Mrs Cook
by her son in Chicago. The bird man
aged to reach the label on the box
and destroyed 1t and there was a long
delay in getting a duplicate address,
Mrs. Cook called at the Office of the
st. Paul Humane society and in
formed Miss Alice Nillard, secretary
that the Wells-Fargo company had de
tanned her parrot for ten days because
they had lost the address and that
she did not believe the parrot had
been cared for all that time. The ex
press company officials say every at
tention was paid to the bird and that
II really got good deal more than
was its due.

Great Britain on Still Hunt for
Good Animals.
Sum Of s25o,ooo to Be Set Aside for
Developing Equine-cholee Ones
Go Abroad Because Foreigner
Pays More.

London.-A sort Of government stud,
OF which the purpose is TO establish
new breed Of horse, is not unlikely TO
be presently endowed by the commits
sioners of the development grant.
They have promised, as recently an
nounced, S250,00O for the encourage
ment of horse breeding; but the more
any definite scheme is inquired into
the more clearly 1t appears that the
cardinal point, so far as the army is
concerned, is money. The best horses
go abroad simply because the foreign.
er pays more; and to supply a govern
ment department with extra doles is
no business Of the commissioners.
What they do should be done princi-
pally on behalf Of the breed itself.
This being so, it is proposed as a
first step to try to convert the hunter
from a mongrel to an aristocrat The
hunter ia the horse of horses for util-
ity. The cavalry and the territorials
want nothing but the hunter. AT pres
ent the breeding of hunters is a ran
dom business, as II always is in cross
bred stocks
Thoroughbred sires are sent to the
several centers by the royal commits
sion on horse breeding, but the breed.
ing of hunters would be on a very diff.
ferent footing If the hunter type could
be, as it were stereotyped in distinc'
tive pure breed. In many parts even
of Ireland, the paradise of hunters, the
type is depreciating and nowhere is 1t
improving.
1t is argued that a really scientific
and practical body, with the grant OF
several thousand dollars a year, could
evolve a pure bred hunter of just the
sort required, just as the pigeon or dog
fanciers have evolved birds and dogs
of every sort Of pattern Similar ex-
periments recently made in Hertford-
shire in regard to polo ponies are very
promising; and these have been under
taken on no very scientific method
The evolving of such horse would
make horse breeding for the army a
steady, lucrative business instead OF
lottery, and would be a constant
source of wealth to the country 1t
is to be hoped that small part OF the
$3.50 900, vaguely and conditionally Of
fered, will be spent on such progress
sive experiment as this
There are scores of men who would
cooperate. Hackney enthusiasts be-
lieve that hackney blood should ap'
pear in such a breed and would, as
recess offers prove, lend mares as 9th
ers would lend stations, it is not Oft
Zen that the opportunity is offered OF
organizing so useful an experiment so
cheaply.

TALKING BOX is ARRESTED
Uncanny Scene in Dutch Court When
Graphophone as Chief Witness
Gave Needed Evidence.

The Hague.-The old saying, Truth
will out" was confirmed again few
days ago in the little courthouse In
Delden, near here, in a most uncanny
way. A man was being tried for at
lacking a friend, with whom he had
been playing cards. His defense was
that the other fellow cursed him. This
was denied and as there were no
known witnesses the magistrate was
sorely troubled.
Then came forward an outsider who
said he could produce all the evidence
needed, for on the night Of the row he
was in another part of the taproom
experimenting with gramophone.
Later, when trying his records. every
word of the wrangle between the men
was repeated.
At the courts request he started the
machine going. In breathless silence
the crowd of good old Dutch villagers
heard the wrangling, then the violent
oath and the scuffling that followed.
