PuZZLEp MONKEYS.
A Caterpillar Invades Their Quarter
with Tragic Results

with Tragic Results
One of the cages in the menagerie
was inhabited by an ateles, or prchen-
sile-tailed monkey from Central Amer
lea, and a dog-faced monkey from
western Africa Each held the other
in supreme contempt. The African
muscd silently over his own strength
and looked scornfully at the spider
like arms of his cousin in captivity,
while the American didn't think much
of monkey who had such q short
stumpy tail as his companion.
One day a caterpillar, long brown
hairy one, crept into the cage. Where
it had come from no one knew, but
there it was treading its quiet way
across the cage. The ateles spied it,
and stopping in his gymnastic exer-
cises dropped to the ground to investl-
gate the newcomer. For a short time
he looked quizzically and wonderingly
at the woolly object, which went qui-
city along. Then the right hand was
| thrust out timidly, and as the fingers
touched the caterpillar it curled up

back, blinked his eyes as if to be GER

and looked down wonderingly. The
dog-faced monkey looked on from
above with apparent scornful uncon-

again and again, whenever the cater
pillar uncoiled itself and started for
some untold goal. At last a happy
thought struck the ateles. There was
small stick in the cage, and grasping
this with both hands the valiant mon
key, with many grewsome look upon

canny intruder. He jabbed down ut
the unoffending visitor several times
with sadly inaccurate aim, hopping
back after each attempt and making
such comical faces that the unlookers
were fairly convulsed with laughter.

A REAL KING IN AMERICA.
He Is a HaIf-Breed Comanche indian and
His Rule Is Absolute.

He Is a HaIf-Breed Comanche indian and
His Rule Is Absolute.
''There is real king out in the south
western part of Indian territory" said
a citizen of st. Louis to a Washington
Star reporter recently, land in a recent
trip down through the Comanche and
Kiowa countries 1 met Quanna Parker,
head chief of the Comanches. The
Comanches are still blanket Indians
that is, they are not civilized and edu-
Gated like the Choctaws and they live
in tepees. But they are among the
sharpest and brightest of Indians.
Every boy remembers in dime novels
that Comanches were the favorite
enemies of the brave trappers and
hardy pioneers. They were fighters
and are the most expert horsemen in
the world. But they fight no longer,
are rapidly becoming civilized, and for
their progress and docility Quanna
Parker is to be thanked.
s'Parler is half-breed, the son of a
chief whose wife was white captive
girl When but a youth Parker, by his
daring and bravery and successful ex-
ploits against other tribes and the
whites in the Indian wars, rose above
the older chiefs and became the leader.
Now that the wars are forever over his
same great will power and strong per-
sonality impress themselves as strongly
upon his tribe, but in the direction OF
advancement and civilization. He is
virtually king. His word is
law; his will supreme. He says
he will civilize his tribe, and
he will do it. AS one result of his eff
forts many of his Indians live in frame
houses. He compelled them to save
41as from
the sale of their cattle. With sixty In
dams wagons he went down into
Texas, bought lumber, then came on
to Washington and persuaded Indian
Commissioner Morgan to build the
houses. He lives in fine nine-roomed
frame house, handsomely furnished in
modern style, Brussels carpets, fine up
holstered furniture, mural adornments,
and decorated nicely. His Office, with
its desk and fittings, occupies one
room, and it is here he transacts his
business. He wears a white shirt and
trousers with leggings, braided hair,
and colors his face when among his
| people, but when travelling dresses ex-
pensively in fashionably made clothes
and sports big diamond pin. He has
horses without number, two coaches
| four buggies and other vehicles. He
has six wives to brighten his household
and 1 never heard of any hair pulling
There is method in his polygamous
madness. Each wife is the daughter OF
q chief of the six principal divisions OF
squads of the tribe. So he is solid with
the whole lot on this score.
Parker is about forty, tall anc
muscular, with a light copper-coloret
skin, the Indian facial characteristics
with a piercing black eagle eye. HI
speaks English well, and is a genera
favorite with all who know him.
