HE WANTED IT RUBBED IN
Congressman Evidently Was Not Sat
isfied With Knowing Himself to
Be Fool

A wealthy western congressman,
says the Argonaut much against his
Will, erected n magnificent mansion in
Washington to please his wife and
daughter. The congressman was OF
plain tastes and had no liking for the
social activities of the national cap
ltal. One day an old friend visited
him. Wearing face of the deepest
gloom. the owner of the stately home
escorted his caller throughout the
place. The visitor was admfring and
enthusiastic, but the host said little
nr nothing. When the inspection was
finished and the two had returned TO
the library on the first floor, the WIS.,
itor said:
"Well, Jim, you certainly cant say
that you haven't everything that you
want"
"Yes, I can" replied the millionaire
soberly; II want parrot
"Why a parrot?'

this place he can yell out, There
