ODD TRICKS OF MONKEYS.

They Keep Up the Interest of Those Who
Care For Them.
eve lose interest in nearly all the ami
mails" said the keeper TO New York
Tribune man, latter we have had them
awhile, except in the monkeys. The old
est keeper in the show will stop now and
then to laugh at their antics. They're al
ways inventing new tricks to play on one
another. Their intelligence is wonderful
and they show traces OF conscience now
and then. That big ape by himself over
there came to Mr.. Barnum with a story
which L have no doubt is true. He was
trained when We got him TO do certain
tricks by wandering peddler who owned
him in the East. This ape is al expert
thief, and one day be was going through
his antics in bazar where q fruit mer-
chant had a bag OF dates open on the
ground. The ape wanted some of those
dates. He was too sly to look at them.
but in his tumblings he worked over
toward them. Pretty soon he got into a
position where the bag was between him
and the merchant, who was squatting
cross-legged on mat upon the ground.
With a leap the ape cleared the bag and
came down between it and the merchant,
close to the latter's face Then he began
to NOW and mouth and scream at the
man, showing lis formidable teeth, star
ing him out of countenance, and making
as if to attack him. The merchant was so
astonished that ne did not notice the ape
helping himself to dates with his hind
hands; apes are not fOur-foOted, you
know, they are quadrumana, four-handed.
Having taken all he could hold, the ape
quickly turned his back on the merchant,
stuffed the dates into his mouth, and was
off in a jiffy. The crowd saw the THEFT
and enjoyed it, and when they told the
merchant he was so struck with the brute's
cleverness that he showed no resentment.
| The ape, however, had got only a yard
or so away in the crowd, when boy, out
OF pure mischief, struck him with a whip
from behind The ape turned about like
a flash, dashed between the very legs of
the boy who had struck him, passed two
or three others without looking at them,
and flew at the unotfending merchant. Bit
ing him two or three times before he
could be restrained. The old thief had
conscience enough to know that he had
done wrong, and as soon as he felt the
blow he took it for granted that the man
he had robbed was beginning to give him
the drubbing he knew ne deserved. Some
of our monkeys are very fond OF being
petted and admired and others are not, "
continued the keeper. That little one
over there is as vain as any woman, and a
curious thing in connection with her is
that her vanity makes her poor mother.
The last litter she had we took away from
her; former one she killed by neglect,
after she had hurt two or three OF them
badly by holding them out to visitors TO
be stroked and petted also and, in so do
| ing, pressed them too hard against the
| bars of her cage. She thought her babies
more lovely than all the rest, probably,
| and she wanted them to get some of the
admiration and attention which she en-
| loved so much herself"

Just twenty years ago,
When you and ! stood side by side,
A bridegroom and bride.

When we were married in the church.

Your eyes look just as bright to me.
Your smile is just as tender.

Christians often preach to the Almighty
under the forms of prayer. They inform
him, catechize Him, direct Him, exhort
Him, and sometimes even scold Him.
This is not prayer-it is sacrilege. If you
want anything, pray for it. If You don't
want anything, then thank God. Do it
simply. Do it heartily. A mechanical
prayer-what could be- more abominable2

tage Of the state. SO much time IS
lost in considering local bills that
important Legislation of general
character does not receive the atten-
tion that it deserves.

ried out according to programme

be flooded with bills as soon as their
introduction is in order. The eau

Notwithstanding the fact that the
election itself will still be three
weeks off, 1t can be stated almost
that the Republicans have
given up all hopes of electing one OF
their number to succeed Senator
Perkins. Most, if not all, of the
members-elect have expressed a will
lingness to vote for Democrat if
by so doing they can prevent the
election of Populist or fusion Dem
ocrat who, by his activity, has made
himself obnoxious to them. The
concensus of opinion among Repub-

crat is to be elected to the senate
with their assistance, Republican
should be made state printer.

SOME REPUBLICAN METHODS.
Special to Kansas City Times.

Special to Kansas City Times.
Topeka, Kan, Dec. l4.-The Re
publicans, while they will be in
minority in the Legislature, propose
to begin the session with perfect
organization and thorough under
standing as to what they will try tt
accomplish. With this object in view
they will meet in this city, Monday
January 2. They will organize in
caucus and remain in session until
the legislature is convened. In eau
Gus all measure that it is deemed
desirable to enact into law will be
fully discussed, committees will be
appointed to prepare bills and the
party platform will be gone through
plank by plank. and bills drawn up
with 4 view to redeeming every
promise made in the platform. AS
many of the Republican pledges are
duplicates of those made by the Pop
ulists, large number of bills that
the Republicans will have in readi-
ness after the Legislature is organ
lied will cover the ground originally
pre-empted by their opponents. In
this way, it is thought, the Popu-
lists can be placed in an embarrass-
ing position. They will hesitate
about assisting in passing bills that
originate in the Republican camp,
and if they oppose them they will
oppose measures to which they are
pledged.
Another thing that the Republi-
cans will probably decide upon that
is calculated to create any amount
of trouble They propose to resist
all attempts at local legislation, in
that respect interpreting the consti-
tuition literally. In all previous leg
islatures the bulk of bills introduced
and passed have been of a local char
acter, although disguised in a phrase
ology that is general. There will
be scarcely a member of the house
or senate who will not be commits
stoned by his constituents to work
through some local bill, and every
member who fails in this will bring
down upon his head the most severe
criticism, and no explanation rhich
he may be able to make will excuse
him in the eyes of those upon whom
lie must depend for reelection.
1t is very doubtful if the Republi-
cans will be able to adopt and carry
out this rule, although it would un-
doubtedly be to the general advan-

The reported discharge of Mr.. R.

quest of Congressman Funston is
creating no little talk and comment
in Washington. 1t affords a pitia-
BILE example of the length to which
the spoils system has gone under
the administration of political heads
men. Smythe was Republican,
but he refused to vote for Mr.. Fun
ston, presumably because he did not
agree with that gentleman's views
as expressed in his official record.
He came home and voted the Re-
publican ticket with the exception
of Mr.. Funston, whose name he
scratched from his ballot. At the
personal demand of Mr.. Funston, it
is said, Smythe lost mis- place in the
government printing office. 1t is a
question which is more disgraceful
the action of Mr.. Funston or the
existence of a system that will per-
nit such action.-K. C. Star.
