A MONKEYS BURIAL.

"A monkey named Jocko, which was
quite a character in the business CEN
ter OF Butte City, died the other day.
and Rev. Mr.. Roundcr, who has a
tabernacle there, thought him worthy
of a funeral Grafton, says the Anacon-
Ga STANDARD. So the little body was
placed in a casket and carried solemn
" out TO the place of worship. Rev.
MI. Rounder mounted the platform
and spoke as follows
God Almighty gave mankind ten
commandments to show them how TO
live right. Jocko was never given
any commandments, yet Jocko in his
own way managed to average up pref
W well with the general Of mankind,
even without any commandments.
When Moses brought the Ten Com
monuments down from the mountain
there was n commandment which
SAID, Thou shalt not swear Yet
Judging from what one hears at any
time up and down the street, swear
ing with the general of mankind has
come to be regarded a manly accom-
pllshment aud the most fantastic
swearer is the most popular man.
Mankind was commanded Thou
shalt not KILL yet every year murder
becomes more frequent. Then there
Is another commandment which man
kind has revised so as to require that
only women shall obey it. In these
fin de steele days the offense is pro-
nounced to be no sin as far as man is
concerned.
Thou shalt not covet' was anoth.
er command given to man. This does
not apply to any who might desire
That a deck Of cards should be COM
posed OF fifty-two kings and queens.
GOD did not help Jocko along by
giving him any commands, so he did
not know how to do right, but he
seemed to do better than most people
you meet. must admit that Jocko
used to steal whenever he got a
chance, but he never was told by any
one not to steal, and with all his
stealing he never took any more than
he wanted for his own use. He never
robbed widows and orphans, and he
died with nothing on earth but the
hair on his back. ~
"Jocko never bothered his head
about whether Fred Ritchie'f monkey
was a hereto or not. Not knowing
himself whether he was orthordox or
not, he never wasted any time in try
ing to make everybody else believe as
ne did except when he was after nuts.
lie made no ~prctensi0ns to religion
and ne was no hypocrite. Jocko was
not exactly civilized, but he never had
to take the Kelley cure; he never
smoked cigarettes, he never chewed
tobacco. Jocko meyer had a bible to
guide him, but he never forgot a
friend and he never betrayed a friend.
His worst fault was that he was a
natural born thief, but he was born
that way. He vas never told by his
Creator not so steal. but If there is a
heaven for monkeys, | think Jocko is
going to be close up to the throne
with a never-failing supply of nuts
and lettuce and enough ink to swim
in"

THEY TURN BLACK,
Curious Transformation Effected in a
Single Night,


a Southern camp meeting is always
more or less fruitful of comical Incl
dents, but rarely If ever, has a more
amusing occurrence been connected
with one than, the New York Herald
says, was presented at a recent meet
ing In Maryland.
An old couple, on joining the camp
mad supplied themselves with d bottle
OF pennyroyal oil, with which to keep
on mosquitoes. On retiring the very
frst night, they extinguished the
light, but forgot to apply the anti
dote.
The mosquitoes were very bad, and
after standing it as long as they
could the old lady got up, CROPPED in
the dark for the bottle OF oil, but
found Instead a bottle of ink. With
this she fabricated the face, hands
and feet of her husband and annoint-
ed herself in like manner.
They again essayed to sleep, but
the mosquitoes pestered them as Sc
verely as before, and all the rest they
secured was an occasional nap. At
last in desperation the old lady got up
and struck a light. CHANGING at the
bed just vacated she beheld to her
horror a colored person stretched in
the place of her spouse.
without a second thought she Sc.
cured her husbands cane and began
beating him over the head. The hus.
band, on gaining consciousness. was
equally affrighted to find a black de-
mon OF female form thrashing him
with might and main. He defended
himself as best he could from the Gu
rlous onslaught, and finally wrenched
the stick from his assailant. As he
was about to strike he recognized his
voice and desisted. An inves-
tigation followed, which revealed the
cause OF the mysterious TRANSFORMED
zion. The stains Of the ink on both
races and the swollen appearance of
the Old mans head, however, and the
that both felt at the &C.
rurrence led the devoted old couple to
sneak away from the camp at the
earliest possible opportunity.

Importance as a source of timber sup

when yellow pine supplies diminish

How English girls discovered their
future husbands is told in Northall's
English Folk-Rhymes"; AT bed
time, having tasted since noon. two
girls who wish to obtain a sight of
their future husbands, boil an egg,
which must be the first egg ever laid
by the hen, in a pan in which no egg
has ever been boiled before. Having
boiled it till it is hard, they cut it in
two with something that has never
been used as knife before. Each girl
eats her half and the shell to the last
fragment, speaking no word the
while; then. still in silence, they
walk backward to bed, ito sleep, per-
chance to dream" Eating and get
ting hard boiled eggs in that way is
too hard a task.
