“Charlie Ross. the poll parrott," as ‘ he
is affectionately dubbed by his shopma'tcs,
is a shoemaker at Roscoe's. He’s “from

men who work with him were wont
to stand in fear and trembling in his
presence when he condescended to enter-
tain them with profusely punctuated de-
scriptions of his valiant deeds, his travels,
the sights he had seen, and the fierce bat-
tles hcwhad fought. But one day last
week thewspell was broken and he was
shorn of his power to awe and inspire, in a
humiliating fashion. George Castle, -a ,,
young Cobble Hillian, who works in the,
same shop, incurred this hero’s displeasure,
who at once proceeded to annihilate him.
The result was unexpected. Castle mopped
up the floor with his ferocious antagonist,
while the shop's crew gazed in astonish-
ment. The “poll parrot”, isnlt as talkative
a bird in that shop as he used to be, but

This meeting is called for the purpose
of amending the'laws governing the use of

Complaints have been made that sulfi-

of the label, and that, in consequence of,
this, persons who had a large stock on

This meeting will entail considerable
expense on'the journeyman, but they are

They fully realize the fact that if an

dirt and all, crying to go in, when he re-
turned from the barn, where he hung up
his shovel. Now he has succeeded, and
this was the way he did it: “The cat
started to crawl into the cupboard and the
citizen called a halt, but the cat heeded
not the command, when the cat fancier
gently tlircwa pair of- shears which he
happened to have in his hand, the point
piercing the spine and killing the cat in-
stantly. As the remains have been guard
ed three days, the man is confident that
the shears did the business.” ’ '
