Barnum, the great showman, at one time owned a pet parrot which he prized very much and whose talking was confined to a very few words, viz: “One at a time, gentlemen; don’t rush.” This the pare rot had learned by hearing the ticket seller repeat it dally to the big crowds, Finally the parrot came up missing until a few days later a farmer driv. ing In town and hearing of the loss to Mr. B. told him he had scen a parrot In a corn fleld as he passed. Hastily Mr. B. drove out to the place mentioned and heard an unusual dis- turbance. On closer Investigation he found the parrot being attacked by a number of crows, which were king away at the rrot while he turn could do nothing to defend himself except to shout that which he had learned so well to say: "Ome at a time gentlemen, Don't rush.” he | heard of the | best | of | wall | was | Pearl's | chair, | has ever talk, | gr threat- until very | under the most favorable | for the Post's | tersville | witnesses who | white GOOSE BONE PROPHETS.
