BRANDON'S BAD LUCK.

Gated In Return.
Julian X. brandon, the real estate
man, has had all he cares for of cock
fighting for the present. 1t happened
in this wise:
Julian is sportingly inclined in a
gentlemanly sort of way. Some time
ago he acquired very fine brass back
rooster. A friend of the real estate
man also had fine gamecocl. THIS
friend went for holiday and left his
bird in Julian's care. He rather un-
wisely placed the birds in his yard in
cages sufficiently close for them to see
one another, says the San Francisco
Chronicle.
On Saturday afternoon Mr. Brandon
determined to study his game rooster
at his home on Devisadero and Pacific
streets. Opening the cage of his bird
he failed TO take into account the pent-
up pugilistic spirit which had been
famed by vain efforts to get at the
Jap.
to the other cage. MI. Brandon en-
deavored to stop it and the vicious
creature flew at him, jahbing its gaffs
into the calf OF one of his legs and into
his foot and shin. The birds spur
passed right through the shoe leather,
inflicting a slight wound.
The stabs in the calf of his leg and
shin were so serious, however, that Mr.
Brandon has been confined TO his room
and his physician has been obliged TO
cut deep into the flesh to save the pa
tient from blood poisoning.

Striking results IN photography are
obtained by the use OF black or nom

excellent and amusing example where
a youth sitting at Il table is surprised

In this case the opened door 20 a
darkened house formed the back

camera and the larger head photo
graphed first its position being accu-
rately marked by bit OF paper

The pasteboard was then removed and
the rest of the group arranged and
photographed in the usual manner.
Upon development the two different
exposures were combined with the
amusing result shown in the illustra-

WANTED TO BORROW A CANNON.

cowboys are quiet and well behaved
and honorable in everything, but after
months of loneliness some of them
drink a great deal of whisky on going
to town. The whisky formerly sold in
the frontier towns was of such vio-
lent character that it would cause n
man to break open his own trunk; but
the whisky having improved, little is
now heard OF the cowboys going on the
rampage. They get sick at the stom-
ach on too much whisky and go to
bed like civilized men.

Colorado from New Mexico, they en-

and his wife and children had been
killed and horribly mutilated. The
foreman was sent for and he immed-
lately ordered that the cattle be allowed
to take care of themselves while the
cowboys went after the Indians Three
parties set out at once. one commanded
by the foreman and the other two by
experienced men. One party came back
in n day with out finding any trace of
the Indians.
Another party came back in two
days without finding any trace of the
Indians, hut at the end of the third
day the third party came back whOop-

FUN AND FEELING.
Two Stories Showing that Monkeys Can
Weep as Well as Laugh.

A writer on the monkeys of India
says they have game like the English
boys cock of the dunghill or king OF
the castle, but instead of pushing each
other from the top of the knoll or dust
heap the castle is pendant branch of
a tree.
The game is TO keep place on the
bough, which swings with their weight
as with "a cluster of fruit, while tho
players struggle to dislodge one an
other, each as he drops running around
and climbing up again to begin anew.
This sport is kept up for an hour at q
time with keen enjoyment, and when
one is rs nimble as monkey it must
be splendid fun.
Mr.. Robert Morley tells in Mature
Notes" n story of whose truth he
vouches, which seems TO indicate that
monkeys may have very tender feeling.
friend of Mr.. Morley's, u native OF
India, was sitting in his garden, when
loud chattering announced the ar
rival Of large party of monkeys, who
forthwith proceeded TO make n meal of

tire crop, he brought his fowling-
piece, and to brighten them away fired
it off, as he thought, over the heads of
the chattering crew.
They all fled away, but he noticed

like one fallen asleep, with its head
resting upon its arms. AS it did not

mcnt in California.
Since his arrival here from his
island realm on the schooner Tarawa.
King Mhbmora has been having a fine
time, says the San Francisco Chroni-
Gle. He has been gorged with pea
nuts lemonade and cake until the
things OF life have palled on the royal
stomach. and he longs for the simple
food Mrs. Mhbmora is accustomed TO
serve up under the cocoanut trees OF
Butarltari.
Somebody gave the King an iced
lemonade the other nigst and the
next day the royal person suffered I'M
told agony. He tossed on his bed oil
pain and said things which would
have caused Mrs. Mhbmora to blush
had she heard them.
The royal gentleman has ono pecu-
liar characteristic. He sleeps with
his boots on-a fact that causes Grand
Duke Jack the pilot much annoy
ance. One Wednesday his friends
brought the king complete outfit of
clothing something he had never pos
sessed before. In the royal palace at
Butaritari he is accustomed to hold

shirt with wide red stripes. The
part OF his new wardrobe that caught
the kings fancy most were the boots.
They were the first he had ever worn.
and, although he had some difficulty
in walking. he was prouder OF them
than a boy is OF his first long trousers.
When he sat on bootoack stand
and saw the bright polish the artist
gave the boots his delight knew no
bounds. Since then it has been i'm
possible to get the king to remove the
boots, although the grand duke has
employed every argument to induce
the king TO part with them while lie
sleeps. He was also presented with a
fifty-cent pair q suspcnders. but these
he disdainfully refused to wear. A
simple piece OF hay rope fastened
around his body keeps his trousers in
place.
The king has been taken up hill and
down hill on the cable cars and he
has ridden on the steam dummies to
the beach. all OF which caused him to
wonder greatly.
He does not however let people
know that he has discovered greater
country than Butaritari. When
