AN APE AS A sw1roHMAN.
A Capetown Curiosity Doing His Masters
Work and Drawing His Salary.

Two years ago, says writer in the Omaha
Bee, when was in South Africa for New York
firm Of exporters. | was informed that eight
miles up the railroad. which runs from Cane
town north there was trained ape which acted
witchman, and drew regular salary for
his master
Otcourse 1 believed the story to be a canard,
but felt that it was worth while investigating
stopped at little station on the railroad in Cape
Colony, and was directed to small switch house
two hundred yards up the track from the place
where the train had stopped The switch-tender
was sitting outside the door in an arm chair, and
by his side stood, or rather couched, an euor
nous African ape, which was fully five feet high
when erect.
AS the switch-teuder arose to answer my in
quiry noticed that he was armless. / asked
him whether 1t was true that his ape performed
the duties OF switchman and was told to watch
for five minutes and see for myself. A few min
utes later the rumbling noise OF an approaching
train was heard. AS the noise increased the ape
jumped from his crouching position, and accom-
panied the switchnan to the place where the
white arm Of the switch stood thrown to the
left.
At a signal from the switchman, the ape
jumped forward. seized the key, unlocked the
paddock, which held the switch IN position,
and grasped the lever with his muscular arm,
threw it TO the right. The train dashed over the
switch to the side track of the station, and In
second the switch was thrown back into posi-
ton, and the ape again took his seat by his mas
ter, to wait for further orders.
1t was certainly wonderful performance. and
would not have believed it unless had seen it.
The man informed me that he had lost his arms
in railroad accident while employed by the
company a switch-tender. During the five
years previous to the accident he had trained
the ape more as a matter OF recreation and to
employ his leisure time while stationed at that
lonely outpost of the Capetown railway.
The work of amusement turned him In good
stead whom he was able to satisfy the company
that without arms he could as fully protect its
interests when he was in possession of those
limbs. For more than two years the ape had
performed the duties OF switchman. and had
never made q mistake. More than this, the ape
was trained to feed his master. as we'll as to
dress and undress him, when necessary.

A Lincoln Anecdote.

young amateurs in Washington formed club

to number OF public men and asked
them to become honorary members. and to give
liberal contributions TO their funds Among
others whom they visited was President Lincoln
He said he would be very glad to be an honorary
member, and then he added: II am sorry can
not find time to see your performance. bat will
send you my check for $25 and that will repre-

His wife and Miss Tyrrell had gone out on the

Fully half an hour we walked thus, going

A Plea for no Circuit Cou TT.

Upon enquiry at the Circuit Clerks Oh
fee We find that the business dccketed for
the July term of the Lincoln Circnit Court
amounts to less than thirty cases all told,
and nearly or quite all of them of the
most trivial character. Also as far as
known that there is nothing OF very
grave nature to be Investigated by the
grand jury. In view of this state of facts,
we enter on behalf Of the tax payers of
the county and of our farmers in particu-
lar, an earnest plea to have the July term
pretermitted. There is strong reason
why this should be done. Besides saving
to the tax payers several hundred dollars
in the way of court expenses incident to
even the shortest term,-in view of the
lateness of the season this year. the heavy
and disastrous rains, and the general
backwardness of farm work. the time thus
saved to farmers would be worth thOus-
ands of dollars to the county outside Of
our ordinary court expenses. We have
interviewed Judge Chrisman OH the sub
lect and in view of the facts, he is more
than willing to pretermit the term II
the members of tho bar will but consent.
ii is for them to say, and We hope they
will throw no obstacle in the way. Other
and more vital interests demand 1t.

Pastry Without Butter

The American pie has been subjected to
more unjust abuse from foreign writer's
than any other of our distinct products,
if we except the recent TRADE against the
American hog. And yet we cannot say
that it has been altogether undeserved,
because of the villainous compound,
thick, hard, and heavy, that is too often
made to do duty as "crnst," and which
by courtesy is called "pastry." Light,
tender, fiaky, and digostible pie-crnst and
all kinds of pastry can be made most read
ily by the use of Royal Baking Powder
without any butter, or with half the
usual portion, ifpreferred, or with small
quantity of lard or other shortening as de-
sired. Pie-crust thus made is much more
wholesome and digestible, besides being
more economical and easily prepared. In
addition to saving all the butter II de-
sired, one-third of the flour is also dis
pensed with, as the crust is rolled that
much thinner, the leavening qualities OF
the Royal Baking Powder swelling 1T to
the requisite thickness. If drippings OF
lard be used the Royal Baking Powder
removes any unpleasant taste, rendering
the crust as short, sweet and pleasant as
if made from the finest butter. Those
who know the appetizlng qualities OF the
genuine home made American pie VIII re-
ioice that by the aid of Royal Baking
Powder in the pastry it can be made quite
as digestible as it is delicious.
