Gently sprung up at Simla, India
Many years ago a padre dwelt at siml,
and the PADRES wife used to feed the mon.
Keys that haunted the place every morning
one day the patriarch of the lot whiIed
away his time waiting for his breakfast by
throwing the contents of the PADRES dress
ing table through the open window down
the khud- The padre was a merciful man
SO he only loaded shotgun with the small
scarlet berries which the natives use for
bead work and gave the fleeing Hanuman
the contents OF one barrel as he was leap
ing from tree to tree through the Jungle
During breakfast not a yestige of a monkey
was to be seen, and afterward the padre
went out, and his wife took I'D her accus-
TONED seat in the veranda. Presently she
became aware of the noiseless arrival of a
deputation. Two full-grown monkeys We're
supporting their wounded patriarch I'd the
veranda steps. Slowly the sad little group
approached the lady, and the two helpers
placed the wounded monkey in front OF her
and then withdrew a little.
With a look of saddest reproach the old
monkey placed his hands on his wounds
and then held out the palm stained with
blood for the lady's inspection, accompany
ing the action with a most melancholy lit
tie moan. The PADRES wife was terribly
upset with sympathy for the monkey and
fear that they might revenge themselves
on her. She hal food brought and laid on
the noor, but none Of the three would touch
1t, but slowly and silently departed as they
had come, the old monkey being assisted
by the others with the most pathetic solicit
tude over the various obstacles of the path
All day the food lay there for the benefit of
the crows and sparrows. but no other mon
Key was seen, and for many days not one
came near the house, until one morning
while breakfast was in progress the whole
band arrived headed by the old patriarch
himself, recovered of his wounds, and most
condescendingly oblivious of bygones
From that day the old friendly relations
remained unimpaired, and the padre used
to declare that even il they threw the nv
down the khud. he did not think his wife
would let him shoot another monkey Who

slaughter of the monkey-folks Of Simla. es-

Information about the plans for furnishing
the house in which he intended to receive
her, contending that otherwise she should
not dare select any OF her more elaborate
gowns. While many of US are not In a
position requiring such extreme care. 1t may
be as well to avoid a receiving gown OF a
color that will distinctly clash with the walls
or your room, or the chair upon which you
may perhaps be seated. After the initial
which presents a simple and dressy walking
costume IN gray cloth, there comes house
dress which Is a safe one for any ordinary
surroundings. 1t Is made of black silk with
yellow stripe through 1t and strewn with
little yellow dots. The bodice fastens at the

velvet Is trimmed with yellow ribbon The

The gown Is in black crepon and the cape

swlneford on Alaska.

A Washington special to the Detroit
Evening News has the following. which
will be ofinterest to many people in the
copper district: ~
Ex-Gov. Swiueiord, formerlFef Mich

consin, drops m;o Washington occasion

land office, and also TO be on hand il
MIR. Cleveland desires his services again

Is can liaate for the place with some
very strong backing from nor;hwestern
people. He was one of the first Michi
gan men TO be chosen for Office al the
beginning OF Mr.. Cleveland's first nj
minis ration. IL the Boring sea aSDitra-
tors who are now before the court in
Paris could hear the ex-governor OF
Alaska on the seal question there would
be something OF sensation Just 1T
this time, when the arbitration is in pro-
gress, the ex-governor is loath to express
his views freely for publication. IS a
general.way, however, it can be saN
that he takes very little stock in tue
talk that the seal industry is of such
vast value to the United States and TO
Alaska in particular. Indeed, the ex-
governor believes that the seals have
been more of detriment to ALASKA
than a benefit. rs they have diverted Of.
tention from the natural resources of
Alaska. The progress Of the country
has been retarded, Mr.. Swineford saws,
by this ccntering of attraction on the
seal, and by the monopoly which the
sealing companies enjoy. not only on
the seal. but on every thing else. So lar
as the seals lave been benefit to any
one, the benefits have flowed mainly
into the pockets of this gigantic
monopoly, instead Of into the United
States treasury. For this reason the
great care which the United States is
giving to the seals, is in truth n care for
