PETS OF FAMOUS SONGsTERs
Grisi Owned Monkey, Lind a, Mock.
ing Bird and Patti Was Fond
of Parrot.

OF all classes of humanity in the
world female singers are the most adj
dicted to keeping pets, London Tit
Bits states. In the days of her prime,
some years after her marriage with
Mario, Nine. Grisi was the proprietor
CT one of the smallest and prettiest
monkeys imaginable. 1t was a speci-
men of that diminutive and charming
race, the ouistiti, and was usually
most amiable, only protesting by a
plaintive cry whenever it's mistress
fondled her children or caressed her
husband in its presence.
When Jenny Lind was in the United
States one of her countless admirers
made her. present of a fine young
mocking bird in full song. He be-
came exceedingly tame and was wont
to perch on the great singers finger
and take seed and fruit from between
her lips.
In Minnie Hauck's Swiss home she
was always surrounded by flocks of
tame pigeons that perched on her
shoulder and ate from her hand. They
often carried their audacity so far as
to enter her bedroom and revel in a
good wash in her toilet pitcher, to the
great disorganization of the very neat
arrangements of her washstand.
The parrot of Nine Patti is quite
famous fowl, not only on account of
the celebrity of it's owner, but also be-
cause of it's own varied accomplish
mentS.

F. Glen, who departed this life one
year ago today, November 30, 1914.
His we'll remembered footsteps
We are listening for in vain
And our eyes grow dim with wstching
And our hearts are sad with pain.
No words will ever be so sweet
AS the words he used to say.
No home will ever be so sad
AS ours the day he passed away.
One sad year, with all its changes
Since death strangely babe us part,
But, dear Roy, all these changes,
Cannot take you from our hearts.
