It happened this way: Last Sunday morning while Professor Barnes was meandering alonj? the beau tifully paved streets of Portland he was startled by a vision of green. He looked up and caught a glympse of an astonish-ly-pretty young parrot flying from branch to branch of a nearby tree. When the professor saw this he made a silent but powerful Vow, which concluded, with the emphuttc statement that "Yon beau tiful bird shall not escape me." But there was another point to be consid ered a dog who was after ' the same object. The professor then addressed the dog with, "Hie thee hence, thou wicked animal," at th same time aiming a blow at the dog which fell 10 feet short of him! .The dog became scared at the treat ment he received at the hands of the erstwhile gentle professor and ran yelp ing away. Just then the parrot, who was curious as to what was happening below him, swooped down, but woe for him and his curiosity The professor' threw his hat over the bird with the eipert- ness of a Buffalo Bill ahd made thM curious bird a captive. He brought his prize horn with ' him and it IS now languishing In a cage, thinking ot the happy day gone by, v t ' THE PHOENIX IRON WORKS Work Being Rushed on Their New Building The work of rebuilding the Phoenix Iron Works which was destroyed by Are some time ago is progressing rapidly In its new location.

"The average life of the nickel cigar is Ave years," said prominent tobacco man, "and it is curious to note the dif ferences which have enabled cigar men to arrive at this general average of the S-cent cigar's life. Many cigars of this class run through a long series of years. There are some brands now that have been running for more than a quarter of a century under the same name, and they are really the same cigars, made in the same way, having the same flavor and all that sort of thing. In this connection I have been impressed by the remark which we often hear about certain brands of cigar for two years' or longer, : but that the cigar was getting so bad that he had concluded to quit buying it at all. "It is nothing like the same cigar,1 he said; "the taste has changed,-' and it tastes like a mixture of cabbage leaves." Now, he was altogether wrong about that. know the cigar, know how It Ja made, and aU about It, and I know" that no sort of change has been made In the process of manufacture, j Th trouble 1 that a man's taste changes5 He may "get up toeUn? badly, his stomach may be in bad snaps, anai ot coursei, uie cigF wtu not taste as It did when his system was in better condition.

They are failures, having nothlnar In them to rec ommend therai to the publio. The material out of which theyssre made would not make decent "three-for." The higher grades .of 6-cent cigars are mad as care fully and with as much 'skill as th cigar that are sold at a higher price, and I do not mind saying that many of them are really far superior in material, flavor and method of manufacture. So many of them, however, are, of the cheap kind that the average is lowered to five years, while the average life of the higher priced cigars will run to a much higher figure." New Orleans Times-Democrat. Fket-Footcd Dogs. Comparatively few people realise ot what remarkable speed dogs are capa ble, gome remarkable statistic In re gard to this have been gathered by M. Dusoller, a French scientist After Pointing out th? marvelous endurance shown by little fbxterrlers, who fol low their masters patiently for hour while the latter are riding on bicycles or in carriages, he says that even greater endurance Is shown by certain wild animals that are akin to dogs. Thus the wolf can rua between 60 ahd 60 mile In one night, and an arctic fox can d quite aa well. If not better. Nan sen met one "of these foxes on ths ice at a point more than 70 miles northwest of the Ssnlkow Territory, which Is feQ miles from the Asiatic ' Coast Estflmo and Sibeerian dogs can travel 45 mile on the Ice In five hours, and there Is one case on record In Which a team of Eskimo dogs traveled six and one-half mile In 28 minutes. Accord ing ia M. Rusolier the speed of th shep herd dogs and those used in hunting ranges from 10 to 15 yards a second. English setters .and pointers bunt at th rate of 18 to 19 miles an hour, and they can maintain this speed for at least twe hours. Fox hound are extraordinarily swift, it is proved by the fact that a dog of this breed once heat a thoroughbred horse, covering four miles In six and one-halt minut'ea, which was at th rat of nearly 18 yards a second. Greyhounds are th swiftest of all four-legged crea tures, and -their speed may be regarded a equal to that 0' carrier pigeons. Eng lish greyhounds, which are carefully se lected, and which aro used for coursing, are able to cover at full gallop a specs . between 18 and 29 yards every second. ; r;K UNDESIRABLE NEIGHBOR, hear Kadlelgh was hopping m4 over the seat they assigned him at ths banquet?"
