to the disappointment He asked for
~giveness and said, 7 will come next
Monday. even though I promise"
He had a constant dread that his
friendship or acquaintance would be

rather than for himself. A lady who
a next him at dinner without learn

I would have been so different had I

MOST NJ OF BIRDS.
Not Only In Talking, but In Eating,
the Parrot Initiates Man.

Not Only In Talking, but In Eating,
the Parrot Initiates Man.
It Is not only In initiating human
speech that the parrot excels most Of
the birds. The parrot Is alone among
birds In taking food In its claws. With
these two characteristics 1T makes more
or less use Of that which distinguishes
humanity from the rest Of the animal
kingdom-the hand and the larynx.
The monkey uses its hands and the
elephant its trunk in feeding. Various
animals have q habit Of paving their
food. Rodents have serviceabie toes.
Still. the parrot is pre-eminent among
birds in this regard The secretary
bird is said to attack reptiles with its
claws, and some observers have said
that owls make partial use of their re
markably flexible perching toe some
what more than does n hen in scratch
ing for food. However. there Is no
other bird which. when given a piece
Of food. will accept it in its claws.
Parrots. Of course. do not talk. as
we use the word. In their wild state
and are not known to be initiative or
neighboring sounds nor to possess the
repertory Of the hooking bird. 1t Is
therefore a question whether or not
their use Of the claws Is largely imi-
tative also. The shape Of the parrots
beak would indicate that some assist
ance in eating has always been a part
Of the birds characteristics.
Like man. the parrot makes its ap-
pearauce in the world naked and help
less.-Harper's Weekly.

Wilson's Broad Appeal.

The practical wisdom of Governor
Wilson'S nomination is asserting itself
more every day. Of all the men that
were available for the Democratic
nomination. none was so well fortified
as the New Jersey Governor to meet
th requirements of the country and the
party.
That he has the confidence of the
business interests is shown by the fact
that his nomination did not cause.-the
slightest disturbance in the financial
centers that are supposed to be baro-
meters of the business welfare.
All the big corporations are working
almost to the limit of their capacity.
The Balwdin Locomotive Works, of
Philadelphia, which employs $4,000
men in one plant, announced within
the week that it would work to the
capacity for year to come on present
orders.
Every day sees the conversion of
influential Republicans to the Cover
nor's allegiance, notable among whom
is {. K. Crane, the Chicago million
aire who loEg supported Roosevelt.
Added to these favorable signs the
government crop reports point to a
bumper yield. so that it would seem
that even Providence approved the Sc
lection of the noted Princeton man O

FelS-Naptha will clean windows and

only soap that will "cut" smoke grease

superior for washing dishes as for washing

fine china or G laSsware. For washing floors,
