respondent writes: Speaking of parrots, years
ago while in Washington, d. c., sauntered
down to the Navy Department afternoon
and while rubbering around there heard
sweet voice from the street calling,
"Come over here, loys!" This was several
times repeated and thought would nvesti-
gate little. When nearly across the street
there came hooking laugh, and with all the
sarcasm that any person could have used, the
taunt "Oh you id fool % and Poll sat
there evincing every expression of pleasure
that it possible for bird to show. He
would not let me approach him and seemed to
hugely enjoy the trick he had played Geo.
f. Bracket of Belfast will, | think, remember
the above incident he with me at the
time. 1t is almost wonderful what a parrot
will learn. Now Theo. Lanes Lucy, which
died last week, was model of propriety and
used nice language. She was really credit
to Theo's care and training.
