The Monkey and the COckatOO.

Visitors to the Geological Garden have
taken special notice ola pretty little African
monkey with tremendously long tail, and
an interesting, little, shriveled up pink face.
He is very bright and amusing, with no bad
or vicious traits. If you look closely you
will notice that the tip of his tail has been
nearly stripped of hair.
The handsome white cockatoo with the
fiery eyes and sulphurous yellow crest did
that. His big cage had been on top OF the
monkeys one day, and the little monkey
had swung his tail up until it rested against
the bars of the bird cage. The cockatoo
grabbed it and pulled is with his sharp beak.
Then there was chattering and screaming,
yells, croaking and dminutive inferno for
about minute, before the monkey got his
tail loose by the heroic method of pulling it
loose. Then the cockatoo spit out mouth
full of hair and said, "Yah-h-u-g-gh." To
this contemptuOus remark the little monkey
said nothing. He sucked the lacerated end
of his tail and kept quiet.
Some one had presented him with piece
of mirror. 1t was the apple of his eye and the
prize of his collection. His little storehouse
contained a couple OF chestnuts, some spare
peanuts, two or three bright pebbles and the
mirror. This little strip, hardly two inches
square, he will hold and admire by the hour.
He never tired of trying to solve The mystery
of the other monkey which be saw in the
glass. Not being quarrelsOme, he never
tried to fight the strange monkey, but always
tried to coax him out to play. 1t wouldn't
work.
One day the sun shone down through the
glass skylight and struck the mirror 1t cast
bright, burning beam right into the mon
keys eye and nearly blinded him. Here was
another immense problem to wrestIe with
After few minutes he found that by turn
ing the looking-glass in different directions
he could make the bright rays dance over the
walls and into the other cages. Ha that was
funny The cockatoo had been moved across
the aisle and one of the. rays struck him in
the eye. He blinked aud rutfled his feathers
The monkey saw it, and said to himself as
plainly as possible:
"Wonder if old Cockey dosent like it?"
He got the focus again, and the cockatoo
ducked and squawked.
AHA! have you now, old Cockey. I'll
teach you to pull the hair off my tailW
Again be focused the bird and the bird
jumped. Up, down, sideways and across, he
pursued the bird with that binding ray,
while the latter screamed and beat his wings
and ratified the cage in whirlwind of rage
But it was useless. The ray and monkey
were memorable, and not until convenient
cloud obscured the sun did the monkey
cease its prosecutions

Ancient CheStnuty.

In very interesting book upon Anecdotes
and Jesls of the Middle Ages these stories are
told of King Philippe Augustus of France
He met one day rogue who asked for aims
on the ground that he was relation. ION
which side are you my relation?" asked
the King. "On Adams side" was the
answer. "Well, give him penny" said the
King TO his servants. THAT is not royal
gift" remarked the beggar. "My friend,''
replied the King, ''if gave as much to all my
relatives on that side, should have nothing
left for myself" .-,-.
1t was the same King who once had fever,
and wanted to quench his thirst with wine,
but Ills physician refused 10 give him any,
thing but water Redeemed with wine. "At
least, said the King, "let me drink the wine
first and the water afterwards the mixture
will be the same" The physician at last
consented but when PHILIPPE had drunk the
wine, he pushed the water away and said -
"Now ] am no longer thirsty"

Have Patience.

Let us do all honor to this quiet but pow
erful and valuable quality, patience. Let us
especially promote its culture in the young,
for, like many other things, itmay be formed
into habit. The childish Impotence, 80
often manifested, may easily be checked, and
the child be trained to perseverance, and self.
control, if wise and gentle influences be care
fully exercised. And, as all power is devel-
oped by use, SO every voluntary effort to be
patient will increase the strength it requires,
and every new accretion of the power of
patience will render the character more no.
BILE, and the life more valuable.

his employer for character, which was duly
given; Paddy, however, was not satisfied
with his "line," and complained to the "gaf-

Paddy. l couldn't say, truthfully, you were a
sober man." "Well, then, replied Pat, "you
might have said that was fraiquently sober"

Take her these flowers to the wounded soul
Flowers are loves best messengers
They mind us of those joys eternal
BY sorrow hidden from our eyes,
Which yet shall shine in light supernal.
Those joys that earth can never give,
Nor hath it power to take away.
Buried. perchance, "a little while,''
To bloom again with lovelier ray
When Heaven is reached, the hearts true goal

b I'D Delivery OF Prisoners From the
scott County Jall-...sawed Their
Way Out.
Four prisoners escaped from the Scott
county jail at Davenport about $50 last
night. The men secured their freedom
through saving hole through an iron
window large enough for man to crawl
through. Among the quartette and the
one who is probably chiefly instrumentalin
getting the men out is Charley Gay. who
of late has been the object of much solic-
itous and misplaced sympathy from vari-
Gus gentlemen and ladies of Davenport.
He was in Jail for highway robbery. had
had one trial in which the jury disagreed,
another in which he was convicted. and
then owing to petitions and solicitations
from sympsthizers about town, he was
granted new trial. The case would
have come up before the grand jury at the
present term. He was the only one of the
quartette who had friends in the city. and
it may have been through these friends
that the necessary tools were procured
to effect the escape. The window-the
lower part of which is of perforated iron
had been sawed almost entirely out, the
hole being large enough for a man to
crawl through with ease. The window
had probably been worked on for several
days. Another of the ex>prisoners was
who shot telegraph operator

years but old i'll crime, being only 81
years of age, and having served two
terms in the penitentiary and two in the
reform school. All of these were light

youth. The other two were up for sixty
days on account of petty crimes.
