Daddy's Bedtirne
@. Pretty Polly
And Her Many
Clever Tricks

- NE OF Jack and Eveyns neghbCB owned a jolly parrot
Jack and Evelyn were great friends with Pauline, as the parrot
was called. They sat around the fire and we're telling daddy about
her smart tricks
Eyes, indeed" daddy agreed; parrots arr wonderfully clever.
II once knew a parrot who IL any n came into the kitchen, where Polly
liked to stay with the cook, would cry out: # y #E
whats your businessT II there was no one In the room when the vL
tor came in Polly would call loudly, Somebody's wanted?
I'm the summer this polly liked to sit outdoors o n q tree at the door. She
learned a trick that set all the dogs in the neighborhood against her. She
would whistle as their masters did when they wished to cab them. 1t was a
funny sight to see a poor trusting dog rush up to our gate in answer to her
call, expecting to see his master. Polly would burst out laughing and cry,
Get out you wrdchp #|
1.-THE cat had a fine family of kittens, and Polly learned to meow &c much
like the babies that she could often bring Mrs. Puss scurryng home, thinking
her babies were calling her.
"Ths parrot was fond Of a bath in hot weather. A big bowl Of water was
generally left outside for her to splash in, but she liked a shower bath best OF
all If any one would pour water over her she would rume her feathers and
turn about SO that the water would do as much good as possible.
when she had all the water she wanted Polly would call, Enough,
enough! 4
she could say Thanks very politely when she was given a lump OF sugar
and was quite q model bird lin many ways.
Polly was a African parrot Her feathers were gay, and her tail a deep
red. In the forests o the western coast of Africa thousands Of such parrots
i've climbing about the trees, quarreing with the monkeys and 6Hing the
woods with their chaHerng. "
They cal speak n o Words then, for it is only when the birds have been
taught that they speak as we do.
"f you've ever noticed a ponys beak you may have seen how the upper
part of her bill is curved over to form a hook It is by taking hold Of the
tree with this and her strong toes, two Of which are turned to the front and
two of which ire turned to the back, that she can climb over the trees. 81 MIN,
bly,. The undepart of her bill is shaped like a cup and is sc strong that the
parrot can crack nuts almost as easily Is a squirrel" .'

DOING NICELY.

President-elect Wilson ppears to be
doing very nicely in the matter of re-
futing preposterous reports relative to
things he is purported to have said Or
done.
Evidently he Is quite capable of TAX
ing care Of himself. Yet the fact must
have occurred to a good many people
that no man who has arisen to a posi-
ton Of great prominence anywhere IN
the world for a good many years will
be required to confront so much Of
misrepresentation as Mr.. Wilson.
Partisans Of the party not repre-
scented by this excellent man do not
seem to be able to take their medi-
cine" They cannot resist the tempta-
ton to hint or assert that the country
made a grave mistake in the matter of
the last national election, and that it
win have to pay heavily for It's mis-
take.
This may be true; but, at any rate,
faiF-minded people will wait. at lsast,
for some proof that things are not to
go right. before they assemble around
the mourners' bench.
In h meantime, fairness would
seem to suggest that the Wilson utter
ances be accurately reported, and that
all optimistic people be content with
the sound saying, Sufficient unto the
day is the evil thereof"

is in this country. Two articles APP
peared in a recent number of The Law
Magazine and Review, a London
periodical, both bearing on the Panama
canal status. In summing up, one
writer says:
Gay That the United States can
support it's action on the precise words
of the material articles of the clay
Pauncefote) treaty; that its case Is
strengthened by reference to the pre-
amble and context, and that its case Is
difficult to challenge on grounds of
general justice,
(b) That there is no international
obligation to submit the construction
of its Legislative act to any process Of
arbitration; and
(c) That the aggrieved party has
an appropriate, an impartial and a
competent tribunal in the supreme
VI OF the United States.
The second writer expresses this
view:
The treaty could never have been in
tended to prevent the federal govern
ment from arranging and regulating
its domestic or coastWise commerce,
and In the use and enjoyment Of It's
W property as it saw fit.
Whatever is the response Of Great
Britain, the prospect is that the nego-
tiations will 0 be concluded until
after March 4. the present treaty being
in effect until June 4. AS the grant
ing of free tolls to coastwise vessels is
a part of the last democratic platform,
the chances for the incoming senate TO
recede from it's present position do not
appear to be flattering.

A TERRIBLE RECORD.

The Birmingham, Ala, News prints
an amazing table of the homicides in
Jefferson county during the last year.
From. Dec. 20. 1871, to Dec. 20. 1912,
there was q murder every week day in
the year.
What other community in the whole
civilized world makes so terrible a
showing, asks The New York Post. No
mining camp that we know of: no
wild. debauched frontier settlement can
compete with this appalling record.
Moreover, it is getting worse. In
1909, 1910 and 1911 there were all told
1856 murders; in 1912 there were 3O6
and 1913 starts off with ten murders in
nineteen days. besides eleven deaths
from unknown causes.
Thus Jefferson county. with 22S.476
Inhabitants, surpasses ever the murder
record Of New York city; this one
county long since passed the record Of
annual murders for the entire United
Kingdom, including London.
A column, says The News, could be
consumed in analysing the cause of
this horrible record, but the main
trouble is that nobody fears the law,
which 10 without majesty in this
American community. In 1912 only a
single man was executed for murder,
n he, needless to say, was a negro.
Only three white men were convicted
OF ~hrst-degree murder in 1912, and
their cases are still pending on appeal.
AS for remedies, The News can only
askswhether, somehow or other. some
thing cannot be done to arouse public
opinion.

PANAMA CANAL CONTROVERSY.

Reply to the protest of Great Britain
regarding the proposition to exempt
our coastwise shipping from Panama
canal tolls has been made by Secretary
Knox. It is pointed out in the reply
that there are only two points OF seri-
GUS disagreement now-the toll ex-
emptton n the matter of coastwise
ships taking part in foreign competi-
tive business.
AZ Tor the foreign competition, the
British government is assured that this
will not be permitted. The promise is
made that the remission in favor of
American vessels will not be atoned
for by any additional charge ON foreign
shipping. A special commission ia in
vited to come to this country and YER
ify the last statement. If this is not
acceptable, then it is proposed that the
controversy be referred to a special
commission of inquiry, as provided for
under the Knox-Bryce arbitration
treaty, which has not yet been ratified,
Senator Root last week vigorously
attacked the senate's action of last
August exempting coastwise traffic
from tolls. The following day Senator
O'Gorrnan, his colleague, replied, and
in the course Of his remarks said that
1--WE have some people in this country
who are more English than the English
themselves in their views on u obli-
cations" This was a hit at the trans
continental railroad interests, which
have fought the canal from the very
fret.

SOME PRUNING E

The fact that the legislature has
already cost the state $4,000 prob
ably caused the legislators as much
surprise as anyone. The present as
sen1bly seems to be eager to give the
state an economical business like ad-
ministratton. and there will undoubt-
eddy be some radical steps taken in
the way Of pruning down expenses.
+f This fact coupled with the fact
that Governor Hanna has set himself
the task Of keeping an eye on eG-
penses-as is proved by his message
to the senate calling attention to the
cost of the legislative printing-wiH
probably a big saving to the
state.
