A HANDSOME MONKEY.

The Teetee by Far the Most Beautiful In
North America.
The red-backed teetee, or squirrel
monkey, is by far the most beautiful Ia
form and color of all the North Amer
lean monkeys, as well as being an in
teresting pet in captivity. The length
Of the head and body is about twelve
inches, and the tail is about the same
length. In color the whole skull cup
is black; the ears, face, neck and throat
are white; the back is reddish brown;
the sides of the body, forearms, hands
and feet are ocher yellow, and the
arms. thighs and upper two-thirds of
the tail are olive and gray The tail is
not prehensile. and the outer third of
it is covered with rather bushy, black
hair, longest at the end.
once owned a very near relative to
the species described above-a teetee,
but not this identical species-which
was about the size of a gray squirrel,
with the nervous activity and spright-
illness of three. / bought it of a sleepy
Indian in South America, and it proved
to be the plague of several peoples
lives.
He could perform one feat which ]
am sure no other monkey can. He
could easily climb up the corner of

One evening in Demarara. / once saw,
during half an hours padding on the
Essequibo river, about sixty of these
little fellows settling themselves for
the night They huddled close to-
gether ON the large horizontal
branches, like a flock of sparrows,
partly for company. and partly for
warmth One that we shot and roasted
for supper, proved to be better favored
than any squirrel ever ate. These
monkeys are SO small they are not
swift climbers in the tree-tops, and al
though easy enough to shoot, are des-
perately hard to find afterward.-Wm.

gress Mr.. Crisp's strongest rival was
Mr.. Wilson, but for the sake of har-
mony, and for the purpose of uniting
the democrats in congress on the tariff
issue. Mr.. Crisp was granted second
term. on condition that a sound and
trusted revenue reformer should be
made chairman of the ways and means
committee. Mr.. Wilson was naturally
the man to whom the honor fell.
The wisdom Of the choice has been
abundantly demonstrated by the pas
sage OF the Wilson bill, and by its char
acter The enemies of the measure in
the newspapers have sneered at Mr..
Wilson as professor. as if a man who
has studied his subjects is therefore
untitled to deal with them. MIR. Wilson
has shown that he possesses a large
store of worldly wisdom; that he
knows how to deal with men, for
both sides of the house and men of
all factions are his friends; his own
party has respect for him and conf
dence in his prudence That he is
practical is proved by the character OF
his bill, as well IS by his successful
struggle in West Virginia against the
politicians of both parties and the pro-
tected interests. He is worthy sue
cessor of Mr.. Carlisle, and, like the ex-
speaker possesses the best traits Of
trained English Legislators. who make
a learned profession of their calling.
Mr.. Wilson knows the literature of ev-
cry question that he champions, and
he has the talent of adapting the expe-
rience Of the past and of other coun-
tries to the needs of the present and OF
thus country. To his other gifts he adds
that of speech in q large degree. He is
a modest and an able man, an admira-

INDIAN BOYS AT PLAY.
An Ex-Savage's RecoIlections of the VIVID
Life.

An Ex-savage's RecoTections of tho VIVA
Life.
Our sports were nodded by the life
and customs OF our people-indeed we
practiced only what we expected to do
when grown. Our games were feats
with the bow and arrow, foot and pony
races, wrestling, swimming, and imi-
tations of the customs and habits Of
our fathers. We had sham fig hts with
mud balls and willow wands, we played
lacrosse, made gar upon bees, shot
winter arrows (which were used only
in that season), and coasted upon ribs
of animals and buffalo-robes-
No sooner did the boys get together
than they divided into squads, and
chose sides; then leading arrow was
shot at random into the air. Before il
fell to the ground, q vo1ley from the
bows of the participants followed
Each player was quick to see the direc-
ton and speed of the leading arrow,
and he tried to send his own with the
same speed and at an equal height. SO
that when it fell 1T would be closer
than any of the others to the first
It WAS considered out of place to
shoot an arrow by first sighting the
object aimed at This was usually Inn
practicable, because the object was al
most always In motion, while tho
hunter himself was often ON the back
of pony in full gal1op- Therefore. it
was the ofhand shot that the Indian
boy sought to master. There was an
other game with arrows which was
characterized by gambling. and was
generally confined to the men.
The races were an everyday occur
renee. At noon the boys were usually
gathered by some pleasant sheet Of
water, and as soon as the ponies were
watered they were allowed to Craze for
an hour or two, while the boys stripped
for their monday sports. Boys of all
ages were paired for 4'spin." and the
little red men cheered on their favor
ties with spirit! As soon as this was
ended the pony races followed. All the
speedy ponies were picked out and
riders chosen If a boy said, II can
not ride, what q shout went upi Such
derisiDn!
Last of all came the swimming. A
little urchin would hang to his pony'S
long tail. while the latter held only his
head above water and glided sportively
along. Finally the animals were driven
into q fine field of grass, and we turned
our attention to other gameA-Dr.

in human history neutralized the ex-
traordinary bounty of heaven and
snatched from the mouth Of toll the
bread which its hands had earned.
While production had outrun the wants
Of the people. the course of distribution
had been SO altered by Ubiquitous laws
that distribution sat down by the side
of abundance, and died OF starvation
under the shadow of storehouses full
of unstable food
These changes were made, not by
Mr.. Harrison alone. but by laws which
received his assent Thus much was
done; much more was attempted An
effort was made to take the control of
elections from the people and hand 1t
over to a clique of petty despots hold
ing Office for life, who would have IN
derstood that they were appointed for
the purpose of counting in repu blican
candidates. The republican party had
resolved that in future it would do its
own registration, its own counting, It's
own certlfcation. When it had secured
that privilege, it calculated on an eter-
nal lease of power Along with this
revolution in our domestic affairs it at
tempted a reversal of our foreign pol
icy. It proposed incessant interference
in the affairs of other nations, a re-
versal of well-settled principles CT in

Such are some of the leading counts,
imperfectly pleaded, in the great in
dictment preferred by the American
people against the administration of
ex-President Harrison before the bar
of impartial history. If he has any
thing to say that is pertinent to mis- de-

what he has to say is wholly irrelevant

Harrison joins the repub hcan press in
the assertion that the present distress is
not due to anything that has happened,
but to something that is going to hap

universe have been changed and effects
now precede their causes Such de-

THE CLASS OF 1895,
Entertained Their Friends Last Night -
Beautiful Decorations An Excellent
Programme.

The large auditorium at the Waco
Female college was crowded last
night with one Of the most represen.
tative audiences that has ever as
sembled at Waco, the occasion
being an "evening with the Sub
Seniors" which was properly the
opening of the commencement exei-
cises. The class colors are old gold
and black. The decorations of the
auditorium were beautiful and evi
denced that tasteful minds, deft
fingers and artistic eyes had de-
signed and executed them. Ever
greens and cedars were in profusion
on the stage and throughout the
room. Above the stage was the
class motto, in colors of old gold
and black, "Ad'Astra per Aspera,"
the translation being "To the Stars
through d tlioulties." Gold and
black buntings were beautifully
draped on the stage and throughout
the room. Wild flowers with gol-
den petals and black corolla, were
strewn at the front of the stage.
These decorations all gave very
pretty effect and formed an artistic
background for the beautiful girls
Who Interpreted the programme.
Upon the wall at the rear of the
stage hung portrait of Schubert, a
master of the art of music, who
seemed to look down from the frame
and smile approvingly upon the eff
forts of the class.
Each number was we'll rendered
and loud applause greeted the young
ladies. Only two solos were given,
Miss Lula Carroll vocal and
Miss Kokernut instrumental. .
These were excellent, Miss Carroll
being an accomplished singer and
Miss Kokernut finished pianiste.
A vocal duet by Misses Carroll and
Miller was rendered beautifully, as

formed chorus of harmony in

The National band concert at the
hotel last evening brought out a
large audience. The grounds were
well filed and the verandas and
lanai were crowded with people.
The boys played with all their old
time vigor, but the part of the pro-
gramme most enjoyed was the
singing. Three native songs were
given, and each one was vocifer-
ously applauded. The last, a hula
kui, seemed to be enjoyed more
than anything else, and had to be
repeated before the crowd was
satisfied. The programme was
closed by the playing of God

Everything Looking Bright for the
Proposed Volcano Excursion.

The steamer ". G.. Hall left for
kau yesterday and strange to re-
late she did not take any passen-
gers for the Volcano, which caused
an evening paper to remark, The
tourists are all waiting for the per
sonaly conducted excursion This
may be so and it may not, but the
chances are it is a fact, for quite a
number OF people have stated that
they Will be members of the party.
For the twelfth time it is stated
that the Volcano is in very active
condition, more so than usual, and
people who have not seen this
natural wonder will not have
better opportunity than the pres
ent. The tickets are on sale at
Wilder's office; they cost $50 and
include everything on the trip.
You have no expense whatever.
