The Monkey Knew Him,

"a young lad in = Southern family
l know had a halt-srown black mon
ley sent him frcm Borneo. The c1.ea-
ture, shy and strange at first, soon
showed himself responsive to kind
ness, quick and intelligent in learning
the usual accomplishments though.
necessary in a monkey education. He
became warmly attached to his youth
full owner and the two friends might
be seen anywhere together, the Bor-
neo perched on the shoulders Of Young
America, occasionally giving him an
affectionate tap Oh the cheek or chat
tering in his ear in the most human
way possible. After a while it was
decreed that Yokko's master must be
sent North to school and the desol;lte
condition of that monkey, in conse-
Guence, was really pitia ble-he grieyed
and refused to be comforted for long
time and then he suddenly became
mischievous. He played such tricks
and FRANKS that at last eyerybody's
patience gave out and Yokko was dis
posed of and disappeared.
Years went by and the Young
Southerner went from school to COL
iCSS. SoOu dIleI LIS SIuUuuIlOn he
was visiting in some Western CITY
Chicago, I think-and passing along
the streets one day he observed a knot
Of people gathered on a corner. He
approached to see what it meant; sud-
denly great, black thing lighted on
his shoulders, his neck was closely
clasped and a little cold, black paw
was patting and stroking his face
With such an abandon Of affection,
such an excited chattering and MUIR
muring as completely bewildered the
young man for moment.
"Of course, it was Master Yokko de-
scended to the role OF an organ mon
key, and after all the years, all the
travel and toll and change he recog-
nlzed his old young master! The de-
light was mutual ard arrangements
We're soon completed for the reDur-
chase Of Iokko. Certainly, il prompt,
swift, decisive action is Indicative of
beyond mere instinct-of
intellect, in fact-that monkey had it!
and there wasn't any question as to
his 'nearness to man. was there?"

The Value of Telephone Service.
The cheapness Of the telephone ser
vice has been illustrated conyincingly
by the general manager of Missouri
exchange. During the day he made
the operators keep a record for the
complaining subscriber, and at night
he knew exactly how many times the
telephone had been used. He finds out
that it is cheaper to use a telephone
than postal cards for any kind Of bust
ness. The way he figures out this is
to divide the cost of the telephone for
year by the number Of days, which
gives the cost to the subscriber Der
Gay. a telephone that costs 9;72 a year
costs 2Oc per day. If the telephone has
been used twenty times in the day,
each call has cost the subscriber just
lc, or the price of 4 postal card The
average telephone, however,, makes
between twelve and thirteen calls a
day, and answers an equal number,
which makes the cost to each s1lbscrib-
err whose instrument is used a little
less than &c for each converse ton
OF course, the number Of calls on
telephone varies. In some houses each
Interview costs &c or more, while there
are others that do not pay over two
mills or three mills for each interview
In many houses it is customary to
send all orders to the butcher and
grocer over the telephone, and in
many other directions the use of the
instrument gives promise Of wide ex-
tension. Already calls, by mutual I'M
derstanding, are made over the tele-
phone, which will soon play an impor-
tant part in many other social func,
lions.

Artesian Well Notes.

If the weather continues good Mr..
Hannah expects to resume work on
the artesian well partly bored at his
place. After the work was suspend
ed at the Lolly place, he got hold of
the drill and went to going into the
earth at his place. After getting
down 800 feet, with l4-inch casing,
he suspended operations there to go
over to Little Willow creek where a
Pinch well was put down just below
Fishers. At the very shallow depth
of 81 feet water came out good and
strong enough TO squirt Il foot above
the casing, running stream sufficient
to irrigate eight or ten acres. The
apparatus was then brought back to
Mann creek, but as the horse power
was then needed with the thresher,
where it belonged, no further boring
has been done. Mr.. Hannah anc
Mr.. Lund, who is interested will
him, intend to keep going down unit
water is struck or their patience give
out.

But what farmers want to know is,
how much more of other crops the
land would have produced If the trees
had not been growing there, and how
much fruit they would or should have
produced if the other crops had not
been grown. We believe that certain
crops may be grown in ayoung orch
ard, but the lire of crops is limited
in New England, and we should not
like to have to draw up formula for
fifteen years use of the orchard in

crops, and at the same time one that
would keep the trees healthy and in
condition to yield fair crop when
old enough. Nor would $l4 per acre
