We are used to seeing monkeys k<pt
only as pets or as curiosities; hut IL
Africa or Asia they are somoti fItss

An example Of this Is shown IN ~
story told of baboon which had h&tn
left in charge of the kitchen while His.
master went off for awhile. On tko
stove was pot in which chicken was
being boiled The baboon sat vt<y
quietly for some time, but at last W
curiosity got the better Of him and be
lifted the lid from the pot.
Well, you can guess the rest. Iha
chicken smelled good, so hc smelled
again; then he took little taste; then
he took another taste; and behold
when Sir Balloon had finished tasting
there were only some boncs left. SCI
When he had eaten the chicken IN il
seemed TO occur TO the baboon that hih
master might be angry when he looked
into the empty pot. What TO do to
avoid the certain punishment that was
in store for him was the greedy fellows
great concern now. He sat In tho
doorway looking very much east down,
when suddenly bright idea seemed to
strike him, and he hurried quickly but
stealthily TO field, not far away, whero
a number of crows were feeding. He
drew as near TO the birds rs he could
without frightening them, and then,
hiding his head, remained as motiop<

ihe incantious crows approached Vol

No doubt it was always mystery u 2
