A well known saloon keeper of the city had a queer experience one day last week, which afforded great amusement for the boys when they heard of It. The saloon keeper Is the owner of a fine parrot, which Is an exceptionally good talker. One day last week when the weather was mild, Polly was seated In his cage near an open window on the second floor, amusing himself ts parrots usually do. Away up on the other end of the street a truck farmer, peddling potatoes, could be heard calling In loud tones: "Fine potatoes, only 60 cents a bushel: How many do you want?" Polly listened quite a while, and when the farmer came opposite the building shouted In wimanlsh accents: "How m,nv bushels bave you got?" "Ten," replied the farmex- "Throw them down In the cellar," shouted Poll. The farmer at once proceeded to csrt them down In the cellar, which bappened to be oiened. When he finished his work he went Into the saloon and askid the proprietor for $5. " "What's that for?" demanded the pro- j prletor. - "For the potatoes your wl'e to'd m to put down Into the cellar." Vpstafra trotted the sn'cn Iree-e to h's wife. Presently be cs.me down, hnd-rt a bill to the farmer, ard sTip!y ?a;d, somewhat forcibly; . - "It's that d d parrot's dolnes."
