Prof. r. l.. Garner probably knows more
about monkey talk than any man in the
world. He has made monkeys the study
of his life, and as has been announced in
tends ito carry the war into the enemy's
camp" so to speak, by going to Africa
armed with monographs cameras, tele
phones, etc, for the purpose of Investigate
ing further, In recent magazine article
Prof Garner says that his researches leave
him no doubt at all that monkeys do really
talk. The range of their language, or
languages for each variety speaks Il sepa
rate tongue, is small, and they have nc
apparent conception Of abstract ideas. But
not only do they use distinct words With
definite meaning-some of which he has
learned and is able to reproduce-but some
of their words, he declares, are evidently
sounds that occurin the human languages.
In short, he thinks that in the simial
tongues he has found the primitive form
of the first human speech.

There is nothing modest about Russia,
She always has more than one string to
her bow. If she doesn't see what she
wants she asks for it. Disappointed as she
is for the present in securing the friend
ship of the ameer of Xfghanistan, she has
turned to Persia and offered to lend the
government of that country enough money
to buy off the English company which was
granted the tobacco monopoly in the land
of Ivan. The shah is VIGOROUSLY anti
English, and if he should accept this offer
a serious blow would be struck at British
influence in Persia and another step gained
in the Russian march on India.

CLAOD MAI liifNS. OF tne words, a
worker and reader, a student and a very
successful man of affairs.
Born about forty-eight years ago in
Kentucky, he removed in early manhood
to Vermilion county, Ind, and soon took
high rank as a farmer and stock breeder
His character is evidenced by the fact that
those nearest to him like him best. His
employees tenants and near neighbors are
enthusiastic in his support. His residence
in a strong Republican county long pre-
vented political success, but he once rep
resented the county in the lower house OF
the legislature, and as candidate for
senator from that district reduced the
Republican majority by one-half
In 1890 he was again nominated for sena.
tor, but soon after the Democratic state
convention nominated him for state au-
ditor, for which place he received a phe-
nomenally large majority In person he is
of medium height and very compact build,
with pleasant address, and as Il speaker
he is plain, direct and convincing.

THE FATE OF A BULLY.


q Terrible Revenge.
The recent meeting of nOrrowe and Fov
on Belgian sol as u result OF the DraSJon
matrimonial scandal, G..l the later en-
counter of Milbank and De Morny, have
caused a revival of the assertion that duels
taking place in France or kindred countries
are mostly fakes" This, to an extent, is
disproved, however, according to Paris
letter, which gives details of a terrible af-
fair that occurred in "A certain French cav
airy regiment about 1866, and which helped
to put down bullying and suppress the
duelists.
In this regiment, stationed at Marseiles
the captain of one of the troops was a no
torious bully. He took special delight in
torturing the youngest of his leutenants,
a bright, laughter loving lad who was the
delight of the regiment-of1icers and men.
One day after mess the captain grossly
insulted the boy and followed it up by
calling him liar and slapping his face.
The lieutenant flushed and left the room.
He had previously shown his courage in
Algiers, and his comrades could not under
stand why he should tolerate such con
tinued insults. They followed him to his
quarters and told him that if he did not
call out his enemy he would have to 90 to
that he had strong religious scruples
about dueing and could not conscen.
tiously 20 out.
Finally the colonel of the regiment sent
him the alternatve-either fight or leave
the service. The boy then agreed, on CON
dition that the fight should take place
with pistols and over handkerchief. One
of the weapons was to be loaded and the
other unloaded. They were to be chosen
! by lot The men stood up, each holding
the edge of handkerchief. At the signal
the captain pulled the trigger, when it was
J found that he held the unloaded pistol
All eyes were now fixed upon the calm,
resolute, fair haired boy. The spectators
were confident that as he held his adver-
sary in his power he would either dis
charge his pistol in the air or not shoot at
all. But not so. He took deliberate aim
and, placing the muzze of his pistol as
near the other mans face as he could
reach, blew his brains out. Then leaning
over the PROSTATE form of his enemy he
dipped handkerchief in the blood and
smeared the face with it. Then with ex
ultation he turned to those in the field anc
said, "Therel do you consider that | have
wiped out the blow l received" He ther
strobe from the ground and that evening
sent in his resignation. Since that Incl
dent there has not been SO much bullying
or dueling in any regiment of the Frencl
army.
The other view of dueling is furnished
by Aurelien Scholl, a French journalist
who had something to do with the Drayton
Borrowe affair. He says that only eleven o
the S41 duels fought in France during tn,
last three years ended fatally.

The irony of fate is aptly illustrated by
the cabled announcement that Il copy of
Audubon's Birds of America" was sold
in London recently for nearly 81, 700, which
is as much as, if not more than, the com
bined annual income of Audubon's two
daughters.
