MURDER WILL OUT.

t I 'Tulkiif about parrots,'' chimed in a little man in tin- l>ar parlour of the "Froth and Funnel." "1 "ad a bird once that was a perfect man el. Sax am tiling, that bird could. I'sed to recite Tennyson's poems afore breaklus' and sandwiched music-'all song's with Doctor Watts'es 'yinns afterwards—new a jolly sight too much. "(■> did. Took to givin' me away to (he missus when I got kept late at i business ; so one day I took 'im up ! the garden to put 'im out of the way j I'd .'est Rive 'im a tap over the 'eatl I with a spade when up comes the missus. J only 'ad time to put a couple of shovelfuls o' earth over 'im. " 'Oorgo," she says. 'I can't find the pooi- parrot anywhere. Leave your gardenin' at once, and 'elp me look lor 'im.' "Jest as we was makin our waxdown the garden path, there came a shriek from that blessed bird that made all the tomarters turn white. '••What's that. George.?' asks the missus. " 'Cats,' sa\ s I. " 'Cats !' shrieks the bird, '[•'etch a straight waistcoat, missus. 'E thinks I'm a cat now. 'Art a minute ago the silly goat took me for a rarsberry cane !' " In Russia the way of the transgressor is Czarcd. Before you give a man advice, be sure you know the kind he wants. The chesty individual is not necessarily broad-minded. Kven an idea will seldom strike a man when he is down. When some people tell the truth | they have to label it. ! It, isn't, the stingy man who keeps { his troubles to himself. The pessimest never hopes for the best : yet growls if he doesn't get it. There is no hope for the fellow who ! is too weak to turn over a new leaf. j For every peacemaker there are a I thousand people making trouble. i Borrow trouble and you will be j paying interest on it for the rest of | your life. 1 We should never suspect how nice j some people were if they didn't tell i us. "" . Contentment, (lies out of the winI dow when ambition stalks in at the ! door. ! The world is largely made up of I people who think they could do some other fellow's job better. ; When a man is in love he can't j think of anything else; but when' a ! woman is in love site always remein- ! bers to see that her hat is on I straight.
