THE PASSING OF A PARROT.

Our Brooks correspondent recently
sent US the obituary of truly good par
rot of that town, and here is another
from an exchange: The home of Hon.
Geo. C. Wing of Auburn has been one of
mourning and sadness for the past few
days. The cause of this was the death
of Billy, who for q years has been study
ing the English language until he had
mastered many of the intricate passages.
Billy was a parrot, but one of these
birds is mighty interesting object when
they have the accomplishments possess
ed by this one. There was no hypocrite
about Billy, and those to whom he took
an aversion were sure to hear many
things Of an uncomplimentary nature.
it was due, Billy could reel off score of
kindly words when he felt so disposed.
The light and life of the home. who can
wonder that the empty cage causes
Dear old Billy! He was loved in
life and has been honored in death.
A fitting burial was his and silent tears
were shed above his grave. This was
right, for they who love not pets are fit
for treason. strategy and spoils.

Literary News and Notes.

F.H.Costello of Bangor has Just receiv-
ed from the publishers copy of his latest
book, a novel, The Girl With Two Selves.
1t deals with psychological problems, has
a love story, OF course, and part of the
scene is laid in Maine. A. c. McClurg of
Chicago is The publisher. Mr.. Costello is
the author of successful boys books and
is now at work on another novel, the
scene of which is partly laid in Maine.
A marked but we'll deserved honor has
recently fallen to the lot of DR.. Edward
Stanwood of Brookline. Mass. He has
been asked to prepare for the next issue
of the famous Edinburg Review an arti-
Gle on the pending change in the tariff
policy of the United States. The compli-
ment is the more noticeable because the
editor of that periodical is a radical free
trader while Mr.. Stanwood is widely
known as a protectionist. The current
number of the Edinburg Review has an
able and scholarly essay from his pen on
1.-THE Trade of Canada" in which he
discusses its commercial relations with
Great Britain and the United States and
shows how we compete with success de-
spite the preferential duties Canada
allows the mother country.
The May number of The Atlantic Month
", in Recent Reflections of a Novel
Reader, has the following notice of Lin

venture stories to hungry public, and
he is of generous disposition. There

the less, but rather the more, delight.

SONGS OF THE SEA.
BEACHED

according to superstitious observance
among certain fisher-folk. the recovered boat
of drowned fisherman has ended her sphere
of usefulness, and is beached, with curses and
solemn imprecatione, by the assembled neigh
bors.
They have left her all alone, with her keel
turned to the sun;
They have left her, with a curse, for the deed
that she has done.
Only sunbeams lave her sides, as thew float ont
to the west;
Only sand-drifts kiss the bow. where the spark
ling waves have pressed.
Even little children pause and grow silent
with great eyes,
To point their rosy hands in awe upon her
where she lies.
The laden boats go by, with their snowy sails
outspread;
The merry laughter echoes on the shore beside
the dead.
Not thought from those who priced her, that
she knew well, face to face;
Not glance upon the sea-starved one, SO lone
ly in disgrace.
They have left her all al, ne, with her keel
turned to the sun;
They have left her, with curse, for the deed
that she has done.
Throughout the long night, waves sob the tale
unto the tide;
And she writhes in her anguish and she means
in her pride.
And her strong heart-timbers SHRINK through
the quivering summer day,
And the thirsty beams cry out for one touch of
salty spray.
They have left her all alone, with her keel
turned to the sun;
how hnun Inft hnr ,ryikh fo~ tk1 Dol
that she has done.
Oh, the pity in the fishers hut, where lights
burn dim and low
Oh. the great nets idly drying as the swift
tides come and go
Oh. the empty platters waiting, when the oak
en- board is spread
Oh, the rude hearts broken breaking with the
breaking of the bread
Back she came, with ragged mainsai, blowing
through veil of foam
Like frightened steed a-quiver, pressing for
the gates of nome;
In the and in the tempest, she had wealth
cred through the gaze.
But her humble son Drowned lovers came not
back beneath ner sail
They have left her all alone, with her keel
turned to the sun;
They have left her. with a curse for the deed
that she has done.

RECALLS THE MoRMoNs
Reorsanized Church Differs From
the Faith of the Old Nor
mon Church Of
Years Ago.

The annual reunion of the Nauvoo,
Eastern Iowa and Kewanee districts
of the Reorganized Church of the
Latter Day Saints at Montrose, which
opens August %, promises to be one
frought with much of interest to the
people in this section. The meetings
will be held in the school house PARK
at Montrose, within twenty miles of
the place where Joseph Smith, one of
the most picturesque characters in the
religious life of the middle west in
the pioneer days, was shot, and will
continue ten days.
The opponents of the faith explain
that their faith is not that of the
Utah Mormons but entirely different
in its beliefs and teachings. The
members of the church are opposed to
polygamy and denounce 1t in as
strong terms as any other church.
The meetings will be presided over
by Elder G. G. Dykes of Muscatine,
who is president of the association
Among others In attendance will also
be Z. A. Smith and F. A. Smith, grand
sons of Joseph Smith. 1t will be an
old fashioned camp meeting and meals
will be served on the grounds Many
who will come from distance expect
also to camp on the grounds.
The reunion at Montrose recalls the
early activities of the Mormons in
this section from the time Joseph
Smith was shot at Carthage in 1914,
and the year later when his followers
We're driven out. Some tarried for a
while at Montrose, some followed
Brigham Young to Utah while others

others went with Hedrick to Missouri.
