"KNOwLEDGE - POWER"

Amongst his many other weghty apo
thegms Lord Bacon said, knowledge is
power" Hypercritcs have cavilled at
this upon the ground that while knowledge
may secure power, knowledge cannot be
in itself power. We are entirely content
however to take the case as 1t was stated
by the greatest, wisest, meanest of man
kind" and we submit the following, clip
ped from an exchange as one of the sim
plest but at the same time most striking
illustration of the idea:
THE most novel fight I ever wit
messed, remarked a traveller TO a re-
porter. was between n bulldog and a
monkey. down In Cuba. A friend of
mine had bulldog that had licked every
canine on the island and he was very
proud of him. A gentleman from South
America said he had monkey that could
whip the bulldog. and the owner of the
latter laughed at the idea. After some
talk wager of 500 was made and the
only advantage that the monkey was TO
have was that he was to be allowed the
privilege OF using a baton about the
length of a pOliceman's club. but not

and in a pit that was surrounded by an
iron grating. There was a big crowd out
TO see the fight. or course everybody
thought the dog would chew up the monk

audience was surprised at the sagacity
displayed by the monkey. The bulldog
would make rush at the monkey, and
the latter would jump aside and allow
the bulldog TO hit his head against the
iron gratings. This was kept up for TWEEN
~ minutes or more and then the dog
began TO get tired. The monkey be-
gan to fight. He would let the dog make
a rush and then jump on the dogs back
and strike him several times with the
baton. This was kept up for an hour or
more. and finally the dog fell on the floor
completely exhausted, and the monkey
would strike the dog several blows. and
then place his ear TO the canine to see ~
he still breathed. Finally, the owner OF
the dog agreed to give up the fight. but
the monkeys owner told him that he was
too late, as the monkey would not quit
until he had killed the dog This was
one Of the pecularites OF the monkey.
They always killed their victims. The
owner OF the dog said he did not want
his dog killed. and insisted on taking the
monkey on While they were talking the
monkey belted the dog several times with
