JOckO's Letter.

My brother once owned funny little
monkey. His name was JOcko. Like
all monkeys, he was q great mimic.
One day my brother sat down at his
desk to write letter. Jocko jumped
into chair to watch him. His little
forehead wrinkled up, and he scratched
his head with his paw. AS my brother
folded his letter, and put it in the envel-
ope, and stamped it, JockO's funny lit
tie face seemed to laugh all over. 81
can do that as well as yOu," was what
he would have said if he could. 1t was
near post-time, and my brother hurried
off with his letter, but forgot to shut his
desk.
When he came back, there was the lit
tie monkey seated at the desk. A sheet
of letter-paper was spread out before
him, covered with the most comicaI
scribbles you ever saw.
He found he couldn't hold the pen;
so he had squeezed his little fingers into
the inkstand, and what funny writing it
was!
He was folding up the letter with his
inky paws when my brother came in.
20 Jockoi you young rascal!" he said
Dut oOChO yuMpcu UOwu ssuu was ouuCA
the table-cover in a twinkling. My
brother burst out laughing when he saw
Jocko's letter.
That was signal to the little culprit
that his master wasn't very angry with
him. So, holding up one corner of the
table-cover with his paw, he yentured
to peep out
Come here, old Jock. and tell me to
whom you have been writing to-"
Then Jocko jumped upon his knee.
and if monkeys only could talk. think
this is what he would have said: 1--WE

in South America; and now won't you
please direct the letter and put on the
stamp. Perhaps your handwriting
