That was the last practical joke

A TALKING
BIRD
BY MARJORIE COUGH

81 wonder" said my friend Staples,
III the boys and girls have as much
fun as we used to have when we were
from, say, sixteen to twenty"
II don't believe they do-at least, not
the innocent fun. They have dinners
and theater parties and go to clubs
and dance the turkey trot, and all that
but they don't know what unceremoni-
GUS fun that doesn't cost anything is. !"
"When / was between boy and man."
Staples went on. "at our old home in
the days when every family contained
from six to dozen children, we boys
and girls grew up together, and every
boy was as careful Of all tie girls as
he was of his own sister Turkey
trot! Not much. No such dancing
was ever heard of then. But we play
ed all sorts of innocent jokes on one
another. l remember one Of 'em was
the cream cake racket, the cake being
full of cotton. One Of the boys once
swallowed one of them, cotton and all,
rather than acknowledge that he'd
been sold.
"That was Billy Williams. He made
up his mind that he'd get even with
the girl who made the cake, Cora
Blake, now Mrs. Olmstead. But Cora
knew that he was laying for her, and
she was so blamed watchful he could
not catch her. 1t was about that time
that George Olmstead and Cora were
getting kind Of thick, and, though no
engagement had been announced, yet
by the frequent disappearance Of the
two at our social gatherings and other
evidences Of spooning it was pretty
generally understood that there was to
be a match.
One summer afternoon a dozen or
more Of us boys and girls were out on
our lawn playing croquet. Tennis had
barely come into vogue, and they call
ed it lawn tennis, not having the
courts they have now. Cora Blake
and Billy Williams and George Ohm
stead were all Of the party, and we
were having no end of a good time.
Presently a man came into the grounds
carrying basket AS soon as he
reached us he took parrot out Of the
basket and asked us If we would like
to see him perform, assuring US that
he had the most remarkable talking
bird in the world.

PUMP MINES AS
SOLDIERS GUARD
Work of Enptying Shafts
Started-Mysterious Message
Reaches Brigade Quarters.

CALUMET, Mich, July 29.-More
mine pumps started today pulling
water out of shafts closed by the cop
per miners strike with State troops
guarding the non-union employees.
Operations of this sort occurred at
two of the con9lomerate lode workings
OF the Calumet and Hecla Company
In the heart of the district
1t was In these mines that the water
had risen most rapidly and it was the
hope of the union to keep the pumps
idle because of the character of the
ore deposits.
The work started last night when
men were sent into the shaft houses.
BY daylight they had the machinery
ready to lower the 300 feet of water
which had accumulated in the bottom
of the workings. Coincident with this
work several commands of militia
were ordered to the neighborhood os-
tensibly to maneuver in a big field
near the mines.
Brigade headquarters were mysti-
fed by a telephone message from John
Kepting, sheriff of Keweenaw county,
who asked General Abbey to with
draw troops from his jurisdiction.
The sheriff said he had not requested
that soldiers be sent into the county,
but merely that they be replaced near
the Houghton county line that they
might be available If called for. The
sheriff tsid there were no disturbances
