New v rk mcinl Dignity.

1t was o'clock in the Bowery, the
not particularly witching hour when
the toilers of the great city are strug
Cling homeward. On a corner stood
very striking example of zone of the
finest" airily swinging his club and
observing the trim young working
girls trip over the broad street crossing.
suddenly he became aware that very
pretty young woman had taken her
stand on the corner near him. He
noted the blueness of her eyes and the
wavy softness of her blonde hair.
Throwing back his shoulders and giving
his mustache twist, he meandered
SLOWLY by the young woman, and
gazed tenderly into her face. So great
is the confidence of womankind in the
benevolence of the New York police
that this unprotected young woman
looked back at the stalwart guardian
of the peace with almost grateful eyes
for the interest he showed in her The
officer thereupon gave his mustache
another twist, and "a he passed again
before the girl he raised his eyebrows
just little, as if to say: Il see you,
my little gaZelle." Presently young
man, who had hurried across the
Bowery. stopped in front of the girl,
and, raising his hat, spoke few words
to her. At the same instant the heavy
hand of the policeman fell on the young
mans shoulder.
Here, here" growled the officer.
you'll have TO come along with me-"
What for?" demanded the young
man, looking up in alarm.
"For mashin' this young lady," re-
piled the policeman.
"Why, she's my fiancee."
She's your what?"
"My fiancee."
saw, what are you givin' me? Don't
try any fiancay business on me. Come
along"
But now the young lady herself
spoke up with, Really, Mr.. Officer, this
is my young man. We are going to lie
married"
The large red face of the policeman
became purple and he Sc med to have
fit. After he was able to speak he
said:
"Say, young Teller, don't talk Portu-
guese or Dutch to policeman after
this. If you'd said you and she was
keeping company first off, there
wouldn't have been no trouble"
Satisfied that he had sustained his
official dignity, the policeman crossed
the Bowery and took up his stand on
the opposite corner.-NelC York SUM-

a tribe of chimpanzees of great stat
ure, who make almost nightly raids on
the villages and little plantations of
the Mswa natives, carrying away their
bananas and other fruits. There is
nothing very remarkable about this
fact, since many kinds of animals
make pillaging forays upon the habita-
tions of men; but the surprising part
IF Emin's narrative is the statement
that in these thieving raids the Chin
pan2ees make use of lighted torches
to hunt out the fruits.
IF / had not been myself witness
of this spectacle" Mr.. Stanley reports
Emin as saying, nothing would ever
have made me believe that any race
OF monkeys possessed the art of max
ing fire."
On one occasion, Emin says, chin
panzee of this intelligent tribe stole a
drum from the huts of his European
troops and made off with it, beating it
as he ran.
The monkey took the drum to the
headquarters of his own people" who
were evidently much charmed with it,
for the Egyptian soldiers often heard
the monkeys beating it vigorously,
but irregularly. Sometimes in the
middle of the night some sleepless
chimpanzee would get up and go to
beating the drum.
But what the other chimpanzees
thought of this midnight musical per-
Torrance will never be known posi-
lively, but from the fact that no sound
of battle and slaughter among the in
telligent chimpanZees ever followed
the Egyptians were forced to conclude
that they liked it.
Here at least, therefore, we had an
indication that the grade of intelli-
gence of even the chimpanzee of
Msongwa is still far below that OF the
human race.

This Great Botanist tn BE Honored by "a
statue in Lincoln Park.
The monument to Linnmus, the emf
nent Swedish man of science, was I'M
yelled on the 1S4th anniversary of his
birth, May % last. Placed in Lincoln
Park at the foot of Fullerton avenue,
it has been erected by his fellow
countrymen now living in Chicago by
voluntary subscription. Standing up
on heavy granite base. the bronze
statue OF the great botanist looks out
upon the world in calm repose and
dignity. The work of art is copied by
G. +. Dyferman, of Stockholm, from
the memorial in that city by the lead
ing sculptor of his time, Kjellberg.
The bronze was cast by Otto Meyer, q
resident of the Swedish capital. When
entirely finished the design contem-
plates the addition at the base of the
pedestal of four allegorical figures,
likewise in bronze, IMPLYING four of
the sciences in which Linneus was

interest.
The other two points determined upon
for commemoration, Fort Meigs and the
Putin Bay burial ground, belong to the
period of the war of 1912, when the
Maumee Valley became again the scene
of military operations. The hero of this
campaign was Gen. William Henry Har-
rison, who in February, 1913, erected
and established Fort Meigs, ten miles
from Fort Industry. While the work
was in progress two unsuccessful attacks
were made by Tecumseh. Gen. Harri-
son and recumseh had first met i'm arms
at the battle of Fallen Timbers, and
they met again here, each commanding.
Tecumseh is described as zone of the
most splendid specimens OF his tribe,
celebrated for their physical proportions
and fine forms-tall, athletic and manly
-dignified, graceful, the beau ideal Of
an Indian chief" The victory was with
Gen. Harrison, and Tecumseh was killed
during the war. The outlines and works
of Fort Meigs are nearly all preserved,

ship that would have won him fame in
diplomatic circles of European courts,

boasted of previous victories. Turtle
cautioned them against the n ew warrior

and voted for war Gen. Wayne ad
vanced and pitched his camp near
Watervile. The next day Aug. 20,
179i,) he gave battle to the Indians,
who were intrenched behind some trees
that had been Frustrated by tornado,
whence the name Of the Battle of Fallen
Timbers. Wayne came upon the saw
ages like the wind that had laid low tho
forest, his soldiers partaking of his own
irresistible courage. 1t was this battle
that won for Wayne the cognomen of
"Che-no-tin" or tho Hurricane. This
battlefield lies on the river and is cult

about twelve and one third acres that it
is proposed to purchase at an estimated
cost of 500 per acre, aud erect at a con
spicuous point a granite monument, so
as to bring the total cost within 1000.
Gen. Wayne pursued the Indians even
under the guns of the British Fort

the mouth of Swan Crack, where he con-
structed military fort, which, owing to
the industry Of his army in its construc-
ton, he named Fort Industry. This
