MONKEY HAD A SPREE.
Performed Some Acts That We're Not
on the Circus Programme.

Performed Some Acts That We're Not
on the Circus Programme.
An incident not on the bills occurred
during Ringing Brothers circus per-
Torrance the other day. During
number on the program in which the
several rings and stages of the show
are used by a series of trained AMI
NAL acts, troupe of monkeys were
performing in the ring, when a tau
young Vermonter, with just enough OF
mountain dew under his belt to make
him rather numerous, threw hail.
pint bottle of liquor into the arena.
Paddy Rooski, one of the performing
monkeys, no sooner saw the bottle
than he ran away from his trainer,
snatched it from the ground, and, with
the quick instinct Of the eaters OF
erything,'' or the ''bandarlog," as
Rudyard Kipling calls them, pulled
the cork, and, before he could be pre-
vented, poured the fiery liquid down
his throat
The liquor took an almost immediate
effect, and Paddy-Rooski had high
old time and performed some pranks
that were even more amusing than
those on the program. He leered
cunningly at his companions, tottered
about the ring, and refused to take
his position among the other monkeys,
at the same time jibbering and chatter
ing in a way that only needed words
to make an intelligent drunk.
Professor Andres tried every means
known to the monkey trainers art to
subdue the hilarious Padddy-Rooski,
but to no purpose. From his gleeful
state he soon merged into one of anger
and proceeded to do up the other men,
bers of the monkey tribe in regular
pugilistic style. One Of the attendants
secured a small net, and throwing 1T
over the intoxicated monkey secured
him and carried him into the dressing
room.
AS Paddy-Rooski vanished behind
the dressing room he let out yell that
would have done credit to Kansas

Too True.

An Oil City gentleman, who is fond
of fishing for trout, had nearly finished
a long days tramp on stream strewn
with cut poles, bait-boxes, and other
evidences of the native angler. He
had ignored an occasional sign tackled
to tree of "No fishing on this stream"
The day was nearly over and he was
nearing the mouth Of the stream, when
he was hailed by resident of neigh
boring farmhouse Hello, cap'nw
"Well?" aye been fshin' up here 2"
Eyes" "Can We read?" Eyes" did
We see that sign tellin' We there's no
fishin' up here?" Eyes. and it's true,
too" A light seemed to break upon the
farmers understanding. and he grunt-
ed and faced about for home.

ORTHWESTERN HOSPITALITY
What an Eastern Traveller Learned in
the Montana Mountains.


the Montana Mountains.
'"The people of the East" said John
P. Miller, who had just returned from
a trip through the West, "do not know
what broad, open-hearted hospitality
means. 1t takes the experience of
trip through the Northwest to learn
how much one man can do for another.
l never saw anything like it. The mere
fact that I came from Washington in
itself was frequently the open sesame
to everything. If [ knew someone who
knew someone else, and he in turn
knew the man l was talking to, there
was nothing in the town too good for
me. One gentleman to whom / was
introduced out in Montana town did
me around to several places which /
had to visit, and yet he and l were to-
tai strangers until we were introduced
an hour before. A hotel-keeper, who
happened to hear that | wanted to
meet a prominent citizen of the town,
sent three of his bellboys out to hunt
up the man and bring him to the hotel
l could tell instance after instance of
the hospitality of the Western people,
and l am willing to bet that my eX-
perience could not be duplicated in the
East if were to travel for thousand
years. "-Washington Post.

Entrance Examinations.

According to the latest official ad- vices, 1,121 young men are now under going examination for admission to the undergraduate departments of Yale uni versity. Of these 742 are for the col lege and 379 for the Sheffield Scientific school. Of the examinatians held away from New Haven no information has been received from several small places, which together in 1894 furnished 31 can didates for the college and 15 for the scientific school. Thus the most reason able estimate of the total number of candidates under examinatlon is 1,167-- 773 for the college and 394 for the sci- entiflc school This number falls short iby just four of that of the candidates in 1894. The falling off is simply in the number of final candidates for the sci entif1e school, due to the marked ad- vance in the requirements for admis- sion this year. This temporary reduc- tion in the size of the classes of Sheffield school has been expected. The increase (thirty) in the number of preliminary candidates for admission to the college is marked.
