THE CAPERS OF A PET MONKEY.
How Ono Stole Baby and Carried it Up Tree.


A pet monkey was murdered in cold blood
in Rome the other day He had committed
number of malicious pranks when the
err attempted to chain him During the
process the monkey fastened his teeth on to
the mans hand and bit it severely. This
last act fixed the monkeys fate and he was
shot, it taking three bullets to lay him out IA
"kold korpus."
On reading of the above, citizen of this
place related to us an incident that occur
red some time ago in an adjoining county.
A gentleman had pet monkey which was
quite mischievous and initiative. The mon
key had noticed time and again the gentle
mans wife nurse her baby and place it in
the cradle to sleep One day the mother
being out of the house heard her baby crying
and going Immediately to it, she was horri-
fed TO see the monkey have it and scamper-
ing out of the house. She rapidly followed
to rescue it, but the monkey assembled tree
in the yard, holding on to the baby and car
ryng 1t up with him, seating himself on a
high limb, where he, chartered away with
great glee The mother was terrified and
sent for her husband who could do more
with the monkey than any one else. Her
husband came, but what to do he didn' t
know. He was afraid to climb the tree for
fear the monkey would drop the baby to the
ground and kill it. Strategy had to be re-
sorted to. Some tempting food was placed
under the tree and the monkey coaxed down
and the baby thereby rescued from his en-
circling clutch. This monkey was not kill
ed, but it was sent off as too cranky an "evo-
lutionist' to have about the house as a
nurse

TRAMPS.
They Crowd Farm House and Wan! a Con.
duct0rs Fare

- lramps are numerous and some of
them are quite bold in their opportunities
for food. At Smyrna, last week good lady
IN response to knock opened the door and
the face of a tramp greeted her vision. His
request for something to eat was complied
with, and shortly after he left, another tramp
called. He. too was given food He had
not been gone long before the third appear
ed He like the other two denied all com
partnership and said he was alone Shortly
after his departure the fourth tramp put in
appearance, wanting square meal This
was crowding things and the gentleman of
the house interviewed the tramp and ques-
toned him about the other tramps, but he
SAID he was alone and knew nothing of them.
He was not believed and was told to leave,
but he did so reluctantly The gentleman
watched him and saw him turn off into the
woods where he met the other three tramps.
The good lady after awhile heard another
knock and it was the last named tramp who
had returned. He was under the impress
sion that her husband had left and he was
going to have something to eat peaceably if
he could but forciby if necessary. Her
husband appeared on the scene again and
the aforesaid tramp was quite wrathy and
the gentleman had to threaten to shoot him
if he didn't leave the premises He left,
but seated himself upon fence down the
road as if to say, Whose afraid" About
this time the morning train whistled and the
husband who was no other than Conductor
Moore, had to leave his wife and 90 to At
anta. He told a male person on the prem
ises to shoot the tramp if he returned again
As we have heard of no homicide, we pre-
sumo the tramp continued his travels on an
empty stomach. Captain Moore found no
corpse when he returned home.

Why that Boy got IL.

One of the simplest and best illus
trations of faith which | remember
to have seen in a story told by NJ.
Theodore Monrod. A Sunday
school teacher, when eacL ing bis
class on one occasion, left his seat
and went around among his schol.
ars with his watch in his hand
Holding it out to the first child, be
said:
II give you that watch"
The boy stared at it and stood
still He then went to the next and
repeated:
~ give you that watch"
The boy hlushed, but that was all
One by one the teacher repeated the
same words and action to each.
Some stared, some blushed, some
smiled incredulousIy but none took
the watch But when he came
nearly to the bottom of the class a
small boy put out is hand and took
the watch which the teacher han
ded to him. As the latter returned
to his seat, the little fellow said, tim
idly:
''Then if you please sir,this watch
is mine ?"
yes, it is yours"
The older boys were fairly reused
by this time.
"Do you mean to say, sir, that he
may keep the watch ?"
Certainly. / gave it to any boy
who would have it"
20, if I had known that" ex-
claimed one of them, II would haye
taken it"
'Did | not tell you l gave it to
you?"
"Oh, yes but | did not believe
yon were in earnest"
so much the worse for YOU. He
believed me, and he has the watch.
Saving faith is az simple as this.
| Just take God at his word, and
trust him. Though It sounds too
gooO to be true, Christ is the gift
of God, freely and fully offered.
