THE DARwINIAN DEVIL.
A PLAIN TALE FROM THE FooTHILL

Lain IALE IOOl HlA+io.
The first circus that ever came to Carson,
New. went to smash on financial rock and
passed into the hands OF the Sheriff so as to be
able to liquidate the Iavenous advertising bills
of the local papers.
II was found difficult to realize money on the
moth-eaten menagerie, and the horses and
monkeys went over to the editors to square the
accounts AS luck would have it, a ring tailed
monkey fell to the lot of the Carson Appeal
and was duly installed as the devil OF the
Office Journalism in Nevada at that time was
not quite on par with that of The CALL. and
the animal was found to be a capital night
editor as well as a companion for the appren-
tice, who became quite chummy with the new
arrival 1t is well that the reader should know
what kind of moral standing the rascal had
and it will therefore be necessary to explain
that adjoining the Office was beer saloon
known as the .Teamsters Heaven" where the
monkey learned to consume the beer drippings
mt a nominal cost OF a swelled head the fol
lowing day. His first indulgence was so salts

race. In little while the first effects
of the inebriety would wear off, and Booze
would be ready to practice the deviltry that
was latent in him. His star performance was
to cautiously mount the Uttered desk, and
from that station reach up and take down edi
torials and local news from the copy-hook
which, after inspecting critically, he would
proceed to rip up and cast into the waste
basket. This sort of amusement was the FRO

A HANDSOME CAPE.

So long as sleeves do not decrease in dimen-

popularity. Jauuty garments reaching only to
the waist are worn, even on the coldest days. a
chamois jacket worn under the waist making
this possible. The richest materials are en-
ployed in fashioning these garments. Fur over
laid with very open design in cloth or velvet,
which is edged all over with beads, is one of
the newest fancies. The cloth or velvet is only
