A Wild Monkey.

The San Jose (Cal) Herald says
that n certain Mr.. S., in. that city, a
gentleman with marked penchant for
pet animals, bought a wild monkey,
and undertook to tame him. On the
whole, lie had an unpleasant experience.
The monkey turned on him, and
the result was that Mr.. S. had to pur-
chase a new suit of clothes. After the
monkey had finished his work, S. was

my back. Now / am all rags" SINH

with his hand iu sling. On being
asked the cause. lie answered that tic
monkey had bitten clean. through his

whiskey, ink into the paregoric, and
castor oil into laudanum, and so on.
Not liking the smell of some of the
bottles, he poured their contents on the
floor. Papers were scattered in every
direction, the ashes taken from the
CRATE and thrown upon the floor When
the doctor came in, he found the mon
key sitting at The desk with his spec
tacles on, looking over his accounts,
After paying for the damage, Mr.. S.
got the monkey into q bag and went
off. He returned, but the monkey has
never been seen since. The deed had
no witnesses.
