Was plenty, perhaps 120 years. He had survived threescore or more Goderich winters, and per- haps disturbed by the tops, -curvy weather since 1944 was ushered in, or perhaps disgusted at the condition into which we humans have got the world—anyway, he pined away, and in spite of all John Mackenzie, his assiduous attendant the last dozen years or so, could do for him, sitting up with him through the midnight. hours of Friday last, his strength fail- ed in the wee, sma' hours and he turned tip his toes and died. Polly,. known to generations of Goderich People as "the Chilton parrot," was brought' here by the late R. S. Chil- ton, United States Consul, away back in the last century. Perhaps about 1880. He was then an oici bird -at least that is the tradition—nod some years ago he was considered to have beaten Sir William Mulock to the hundred urark by quite a good stretch. When Mr. Chilton retired from his office in Goderich he left Polly here. Wo understand he had his home with George Sillib for a while, but for the great part of the last half -century he was in The care of the late Mrs.' Wilmer Smith and her daughter Mrs. King, Besides lend.' ing a splash of color to the bottle, he Could do quite a bit of talking and was an interesting companion. For. the last ten or twelve years he was. in the care of ,John Mackenzie, Que- bec street.—Goderich Signal -Star. TUNE IN ON Old -Fashioned' Revival. Hour 7 to 8 P.M., E D.S.T.
