GREEN “BELLBOY” IN HOTEL

Unwelcome Caller Who Awakened Cuest Turned Out to Be a Recent Importation.

A little after 10 o’clock yesterday morning a guest in a second floor room at the Waldorf-Astorigg was awakened from the best part of his second sleep by a voice which sald pleasantly: ~ “Bonjour, monsieur, Il fait beau, D’est pas?”’ The sleepy guest waved an admonishing hand from the tangle of bed clothes: :

“Go ’way,” he said, “too early. Go ’Way.” ‘ 4 .

The response was a burst of shrill laughter, but the expostulations of the annoyed guest were cut short.by the discovery that he was addressing a wvery 'polite green parrot. So He got up, closed the window and reported his capture to the desk. X . “Thank goodness yousgot one,” said Assistant Manager Stewart, “Wish you'd catch the other. We've been hunting parrots all over the place.”

The second »id was found in the tower and returned with his mate to Donald Patterson, the ten-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. W. D. Patterson of San Trancisco. The parrots were bought in Paris for Donald and they took advantage of an open window to see something of New York. Perhaps they dign’t appreve, for they flew right back again, but not through the window from which they came, and began an exploration of the hotel.—New York Sun. :

It Can’t Be Done.

Few know better than Vincent Tabor the utter absurdity of trying to please the women of today. From evidence presented in the Court of Domestic Relations, writes a New York correspondent, it appears that he has at no time tried it, but the demands made by his wife have convinced him that there would be no hope anyway. The matter in consideration was a nreans to keep Mr. Tabor at work, a means to force him to provide $8 a week for his wife’s support and a means to terminate his desperate struggle to drink a harried world dry. “Aw, judge, nothin’ can be done,” ad--mitted the somewhat tearful defendant, “as long as yuh can’t make money enough. to satisfy all the highfalutin’® ideas of the women. Tweo months ago we wuz all right again an’ everything goin’ good, when Minnie made me move to a house what had a bathtub in it. We ain’t had ‘ day of happiness winaee” : M ! e N N Ty CHARLES V., INKS AND SON . Tk Dealerfin} . e Monuments,’ Vaults, :Tombstones,’ i Building Stone L Corner Fifth and Cavin LIGONIER

) He is & Corporal 1 : Camp Sherman, Ohio, 1 ) j : July 25, 1918. | Dear Father:- : ‘Cheer when you receive this, not loudly and hysterically, but deepl and discreetly. Let the Banner cffice vibrate with your gratitied rumblings until the type gets to jumping in the cases. I have been elevated to the peerage—that is a rather flowerly way of telling you tnat I have been yanked out of the pit and made a-corporal. I stand in front of a rank of privates and practically annihiiiate them with my egotistical gloating. They see my majestic tigure—well over four feet—with the head thrown back so acutely that the countenance is alwost incredibly forshortened. the prominent zfeal;ures of said countenance being two enormous nostrils, a pair of critically -arched brows, and . insolently drooping lids. From the bun-lipped mouth issues a voice as of many thunders: - You know how peculiarly impressive stunted people always are, particularly if they happen to be almost’ helplessly obzse. Can you doubt theu, of my success?

There is one piace where, despite all my efforts, my dignity evaporates I refer to the linoleum covered counter off which I wolf my meals. The savor of focd afeets me just as powder is reputec to affect the war horse. Entering the mess hall, 1 instantly go over the top. 1 claw and push and sceramble my way’ to the hospitable board, meanwhile issaing incoherent orders to others to *‘drop back.” The foam of frenzied. hunger fairly drools from my lips. Itakeone hurried survey of the clotted viands. Then down I flop, and there is hard!ly an appreciable interval from the instant of seating muse!f until a tremendous bovine ' crunching and munching begins that attracts the wondering stares of everybody within sight or hearing. Primitive? Yes; but Liere the race is to the swift and the battle to the strong. 'The other day I was so engrossed in the mere animal ecstacy of gorging that I fell into a sort of stupor. 1 came to With a start and found myself lolling half way over the table, chewing abstractedly on a chunk of gristle. My lips and chin were a per fect marass of greese, lemonade and coftee, with small islands of cookie crumbs and rice pudding adhering to the stubbles of my beard all the way down to the neck band of my shirt My hands were coated to the wrist with gravy and there were huge shreds of boiled potato under my nails. I must have been unconsci ously flaying spuds in my delirium of ‘appetite. The soppy condition of my knees led me to suspect that I had pensively emptied a tureen of succo‘tash into my lap, and upon examining the floor at my feet 1 was assured of the correctness of this surmise. Yet when the moment for action came, 1} ‘perked right up and ryshed /out to where the line was forming, and in the twinkling of an eye transformed myself into an officer and a gentleman. Astonishing, but I did it.

Whoever decided on kbaki for uniforms was a genius, and must have possessed something rather unusua! in the way of a color sense. Its utility is at once apparent to the man who wears it. He can wallow through muck and mire, establish all varieties of contaminating contacts, make of his uniform one large mobile napkin, and still camofiage people into think

ing that he is spotlessly attired. It’s marvelous, but my word for it, it's true. | : |

Well I am about to the limit of my material, so think I shall call sthis ietter a complete fact now and take a rest. If you have time and patience !and concentration, and the bower of observation and consecutive thought, I:md think kindly of the proposal, you ‘might let me see a specimen of your chirography some time before the war ends. I suppose lam still your son. L have receiyed no intimation to the contrary. llf the old degree of consapguinity still exhists, and you wish to gvoid piquing me, sit down and Slip a sizable bale of your spidery hieroglyphics in my direction. . - With best regards to all, I remain thesame quaint and congenial spirit as of yore, ' 2 : Ralph D.
