O F, as the proert bas It. ever cloud has Its sil very llulnj;, then the, jmrrut that dow Is a rea dout of the royal palace at Ilrus sold la not a a out and oat nui sance. Though . this bird ling In terfered with the statecraft of King Albert of Iielftum hu Is still an honored guest of the roy al abode becauso he Is a pet of Crown Prince Leopold. At any rate, the blame, if there Is any, rests with the American ambas sador, Charles Puk Liryan, and the parrot Is the most famous cf his kind In Brussels, for this Is a diplomatic bird. King Albert to tho contrary not withstanding, having seen service In I . j r'7t w -x : s r V 'A t CHOWS PRINCE LEOPOLD. the American legations Ht Kio Janeiro, Lisbon and Itrussi-Is before becoming the property of the crown prince. Shortly after the nrrival of M. Par rot In Brussels Colonel Itooscvelt ap peared en route home from Africa and stayed with Minister Bryan at the le gation. A serenading band appeared to greet the hunter on behalf of the burgomaster, but found active compe tition In the parrot. Strains of harmo ny were met with strident discords from the Amazonian, to the great de light of the crowd In the street, and finally It was found necessary to rele gate the bird to un attic. But tho par rot had gained fame, for every Brus sels newspaper commented upon it as one of the celebration features. Such a sudden spring to tho pinnacle of notoriety could not escape the youth ful csown prince, nnd when Minister Bryan discovered the royal Interest In his possession he promptly presented It to Leopold. For n few days tho par rot was a welcome guest In tho king's t,' ' KINO) AtillEllT OF HI LOU M study, but It outtalked the prime minis ter nnd King combined, so was banish ed to the prince's playroom. King Albert Imldentally is estab lishing a rcpnMtimi ns n Solomon In Judgment, though not required to threaten Infantile cleavages. It Is a tradition in Belgium that the king shnll always be godfather to the sev enth son of Belgian parents. One fa ther of six sons Impatiently awaited the time when he could call on the king to fulllll the tradition. The time came, but twin sons confronted film. Tho parents could not decide which boy should bear the name of Albert and finally laid tho matter before Hie king himself. Tills was the king's first opportunity to become godfather to a seventh son, and he wns mlghtly perplexed. At (ha', moment the crown prince ran Int'J the room, and his father's face cleared Immediately, for he had solved the problem. "You shall be godfather to one of tho twins, nnd I will net for the oftier," ho said to the prince. "Thus we will make our debut together. The parents must solve the problem of which shall lis cnlled Albert and which Leopold." In Public Eye All British Marys Unite In Present to Queen c- if SENTIMENTAL cor'.'iatlyu Idea bas b'M-n evolv ed i.i London that Is spread ing t every part of Great Britain. Jt Is the gift of a present to Queen Mary by all the Marys of the r tilted King dom, and the royal consort Is um! rstood to have expressed pie:, ure at the Ide.i. Whether the gift will be an ornament or a lump sum of money, available for some of the queen's many charities, has not been decided, but the former is favored. There Is no census taken of the Marys in Great Britain, but It Is con sidered a safe guess to say they out number the bearers of any other name. As an example it is cited that In lone Bute nnd Cumbrae when the Marchion ess of Bute sent out a circular there were Instant replies from 1.2i0 Marys. The committee has decided that all per mutations of the name shall be Includ ed, such as Marions, Mays. Marians, Marios and Maries. The givers contribute from 1 penny to 1, and a list containing ail the names, with the amounts of the dona tions omitted, will be presented to the queen with the present. The Idea originated, at a social tea when It was discovered that the Chris tian name of every woman In the room i i 7 . 4 DCC'HESS OF riEVONSHIBB (TOP) AND MAB t HIONESS OP OHAHAM. was the same as the queen's. Then some one thought of the bright Idea, and the project spread. At first xmly noble Marys, -those who were In the court set. were considered, but finally It Included nil of the name In tho Unit ed KInrdoni. The Duchess of Devonshire, the Mar chioness of Graham, Ijidy Mary Tre fusis, woman of the bedchamber to the queen, and Lady Waldegrave were among the originators nnd are now the managers of the gift plan. Other Marys who are taking an ac tive part In the committee work are the Marchioness of Bute, the Countess of Gainsborough, Viscountess Curion, Viscountess Cobhani, Lady Maria Wei by. Lady Mary Grant and the lion. Mrs. Herbert Asqulth. AH these la dles are giving much of their time to the managing of correspondence and contributions. The Marys' gift is bringing all the bearers of the name together every where throughout the country ns well as In Loudon. "Mary teas" are fash ionable, and at "Mary luncheons" wom en of that name gather. Perfumed Juttic a Succee.

AGED COUPLE SEEK' DAUGHTER IN VAIN t A telegraphic communication from the Portland Board of Charities re ceived here by Marshal Ia-wIs re vealed the plight of an aged couple from Michigan who had taken ad vantage of the colonist rates to Join relatives In this state. Falling In their expectations of lielng met at the Portland station, and having no funds, the old people applied to the I'nlted Charities, who, on learning that they had a daughter, Mrs. Emma Davis, who was supposed to tie living here, telegraphed Marshal Iewls to find her and and Inform her of her parents' distress. Although the daughter was not found the aged pair decided to come to Hood Elver and conduct a search of their own. They left Portland on foot and reached Troutdnle Friday, when the wife was unable to proceed fur ther because of exhaustion. A message was received here telling the fact ami money was sent them for a railroad ticket here. However, after spending the night they were made to realize the futility of any further attempt t tiud the lost daughter and money was given them for railroad fare to The Dalles, where they hope to lind friends.
