Parrot Aids His Sick Ma ster.

The loud cries of a parrot, brought
aid to John +. ShOup. a veteran of the
Civil War. at Oregon City, Monday
morning, at an early hour, when he
had been attacked by paralysis alone
in a room in rear of his candy store.
The victim is more than 20 years of
age and he lives alone. He suffered
the stroke, which affected his entire
left side about midnight The parrot
heard his means and seemed to rea-
lie that he was in great misery. for
it Immediately began screaming to
attract attention and summon relief.
1t was successful and the door was
broken open and the dangerous con
dition Of the man aScertained. Mem
bers of Mead Post were notified and
the old man was taken to Wildwood
Hospital. Though his condition is
serious. he will probably recover.
The parr OF which gave the alarm and
Il canary were taken to the hospital
to keep their owner company.

Beauty an AlI-Pervadine Presence.

Beauty is an all-pervading pres
ence. 1t unfolds in the numherless
flowers of the spring. 1t waves in
the branches of the trees and the
green blades of grass. 1t haunts the
depths of the earth and sea and
CLEANS out in the hucs of the shell
and the precious stones. And not
only these minutes objects, but the
ocean, the mountains, the clouds, the
heavens, the stars, the rising and
setting sun, all overflow with beauty.
The universe is its temple; and those
men who are alive to it can not lift
their eyes without feeling them
selves encompassed with it on every
side. CHunRjag.

THE OLD PIANO.
BY Lue F. Vernon.

There's q piano down in Casey's.
In deserted little room,
Seldom used now mOurnful looking,
Mid the silence, mid the gloom;
The Old scarf is threadbare, faded,
Broken key, and missing string.
Yet memories of the days that were,
Hover near it; round it cling.
In years agnne-Territoria days,
The boys would gather in,
Laugh and shout; fight and dance,
Drink nose paint " beer and gin:
Lemonade, if you please, soda pop,
Or smoke pipe cigar,
Tales that went the rounds each night
Ranged from "Injunsn to the Gar.
Then some one would propose a song,
You bet!' they'd shout with glee,
The piano player-an obliging soul,
Would play these melodies:
Daisy Dean Lady Elgin,' "S San
Bass Buy Broom,
Golden Slipper Jessie James, ,
"Mollie Darling,"' Nellie Gray,
THE Vacant Chair Elm Tree,
Dolly Warden" " Peel-a-boo,'
"Darln' CIoe," "Down Mobile Sil
yer Moon" and Maggie May"
And when a pleasing voice commenced
"Silver Threads Among the Gold,
The sad, sweet melody reached then
hearts,
1t never will grow old,
It's simple, pleading, soft refrain,
Seemed each very heart to tear,
For all were held in misty dream,
OF hearthstone, mother, prayer.
Darling, I am growing old,
Silver Threads Among the Gold,
Shine upon my brow to-day,
Life is fading fast away;
But my darling you will be, will be,
Always young and fair 10 me,
Ies, my darling, you will be,
Always young and fair to me-"
There's a piano down in Caseys
In deserted little room,
Seldom used now; mournful looking,
Mid the silence, mid the gloom;
The old scarf is threadbare, faded,
Broken key, and missing string,
Yet memories of the days that were,
Hover near it; round it cling.

Historic Occasion.
Said Berger:
THE advent of new party in the
congress Of the United States is always
an occasion of historic importance. 1t
IS especially so in this instance. be-
cause the Socialist party Is an inter
national party which for years has
been represented in the national assem-.
blies of every civilized country in the
world.
while America is the latest coun-
try to win this representation, 1t Is the
most promising Of all countries for
general Socialist triumph.
Furthermore, perhaps no other coun-
try. certainly no European country.

Party's Advent Important.

"The advent Of the Socialist party in
congress Is further important for the
reason that every political movement
In history other than the Socialist
movement has been based upon the

other set of men. The only party that
stands for the end of exploitation is the

Chinese Vsrmilion Makers Hold Secret
of Afes

The manufacture of vermiliOn,
which is one of the foremost indus
tries of Hongkong and entirely in
the hands of the Chinese, is very
ancient. They made artificial cin-
nabar long before Europe was a
civilized country, and some OF the
granite stones between which the
pulverized ore is ground are almost
prehistoric. Even in the present
day there are trade secrets in the
industry which no European has
been able to fathom. There are over
one hundred of these plants in Hong
