Every inventor has some idea of dis
a great useful article, which
will benefit the whole human race and
carry his own name down toposterity as
a great man of genius. Often these am
bilious schemes are never realized, but
the best part of the inventors life is
spent in vain efforts to accomplish this
great result. Such high aims ennoble
and dignity his work, and, though they
may never be realized, he has the salts
faction of knowing that others will come
after him to take up the work which he
has left unfinished.
Many of the great inventions of today
have not been the product of one mans
genius, although he may enjoy all of the
credit, but the result of generations of
thought, experiment and suggestion of
dozens of scientists and inventors

yocko,s sunday Recreation.

A few pedestrians who were out for a
morning stroll witnessed a brief but
bloody BATHS through the windows of
the Market street bird store Sunday
morning.
Among the denizens of the place is
monkey called Jocko, whose proclivity
for mischief has led him into disgrace
before. On the morning in question
Jocko determined to go on a lark. He
succeeded in picking the lock of his cage,
and once free turned his attention to
his feathered companions. 1t took but
few minutes to unlock a dozen of the
various cages in the room, and soon q
funny procession of monkeys and par
rots were strutting about. In few min
utes trouble began to brew. One of the
parrots, in spirit of mischief, probably
bit Jocko and lively battle ensued.
Polly soon found that she was getting
the worst oft and made rush for her
cage, minus her tail feathers and part of
wing.
Jocko. who was then thoroughly
aroused, sailed in for a general massacre,
and in a short time had the floor to him
self, save for Minnie, a little nightin-
| gale, who was too dazed to escape. With
one blow the bird was stretched hfeless
| on the floor. The monkey then offered
battle to II big stuffed owl which had
been gazing solemnly upon the scene,
and receiving no answer to his chal-
lenge, threw the bird off its pedestal
Jocko's Waterloo was awaiting him
however. A huge vampire bat, which
had been watching the battle, jumped
down from his perch, and Jocko started
for him The contest was brief The
sharp beak and talons of the bird buried
themselves like fash in the monkey:
flesh, and Jocko was glad to make his
escape with the blood flowing from {
dozen wounds. At this juncture the
proprietor appeared and hostilitiei
ceased.-San Francisco Chronicle.
