more personal and intimate way. Ad-
joining the house is a conservatory,
which was rebuilt last year, the old
one having been constructed in 1888.
In this the more sensitive plants are
reared, and they are all given the best
of care. And the house is filled with
all sorts of beautiful and interesting
things, not the least of which is
Patty the African grey parrot. 81
years Of age, who has been the wonder
and delight Of all who know her. When

told that the man was writing, said Il

once answered, the intelligent bird
whistled the first two bars Of annie
Rooney" which she has been taught to
do when she wishes to be allowed to
see visitors. She was put through a
series Of questions, such as What does
Don say" to this she answered with
a perfect and distinct imitation of 4
dog barking, on being asked what GER
tain persons said she would give i'm
mediate answers, she whistled several
strains from popular songs. and
mewed like a cat, appearing to know
and understand everything said to her.
This is no ordinary Poll. She never
says Polly wants cracker" but says
as plainly as any person. Il want my
supper" and complains volubly if it
does not suit her.
She never swears, her strongest ex-
preston being Darn you and is very
fond of music of all sorts. One day a
man came into the yard when Patty's
cage was hanging on the piazza, and
the visitor nearly fell off the step
when the bird inquired blandly, who
are you?" and his establishment was
increased the next day when he called,

The next-door neighbor. Mr. Danforth
Nash, has fine English pointer which
he has trained to come at certain
peculiar whistle, and this the inteli-
gent parrot has learned to initiate,
fooling the dog with it time and again.
A peculiar thing about this bird is the
fact that if she learns a saying or ex-
pieSSiol iioiii d per SUI, ana tldt person
goes away, Patty will not use the say
ing until the return of the individual
who first used it in her hearing. She.
has a remarkable memory and never
forgets anything she learns. Anyone
who has formerly believed that the
talking Of parrot is not the result Of
reason and intelligence would do well
to see and hear this remarkable bird
before feeling assured Of this. The
Misses Eaton have owned Patty since
she was four months old, and no
amount Of money would purchase the
bird which they have educated.

has been believed that regardless of the
amount Of wages a man may receive he
will derive comfort In the knowledge that
lin the vent of his death those dependent
on him will not be in absolute want.
1t has been exceedingly difficult to as
certain with any reasonable exactness the
cost of such a scheme as has been dis
cussed. 1t is felt that the amount Of do
nation or benefit should be based some
what on length of service and on rate of
pay, and 1t is practically impossible to
forecast what will be the ultimate cost
of such a plan.
But the present year has been one OF
unusual prosperity. and feeling that the
results attained are in part due to the
efforts Of our employees it is desired to
recognize these efforts in a substantial
way.
Beginning therefore, on July /, 1916 the
Company proposes to pay to such party,
or parties, as such employe, dying while
in it's service and who has been in its
employ for two or more years continuous
ly, may have designated in writing as his
beneficiary or beneficiaries or. in case OF
failure to make such designation, then to
his next of kin dependent on him. a sum
