Rock Island Argus. (Rock Island, Ill.) 1893-1920, 1895-11-04

A bold and fearless statement was
made in this column . few days ago
touching beauty. 1t was put forth that
there were only three actresses on earth
who could lay an honest claim to beauty.
CLARA II" writes that her curiosity
has been aroused and wants to know
who the three are. Now, it would b
very ungallant to say. The statement
has all the actresses in the world guess
ing, an6 until the names Of the three
are mentioned each Of our footlight
favorites will believe she is one Of them.
Why spoil their fun? What is the use Of
calling names to make people feel in
jured and slishted and misunderstoodi
do not doubt that Miss Clara n, il
she be an actress, could lay an honest
claim to recognition rs one Of the three.

The Cable Code,

One Of the curiosities of the cable
code method of sending information is
shown in a recent message announcing
the loss by fire Of q ship at sea The
whole message was conveyed in three
words of Scott's cable code "Smoulder-
ed ;hurrah ;hallelujah ~ 'Smouldered"
stands for 1.-The ship has been destroyed
by fire, "hurrah" for 'crew saved by
boats and ''hallelujah" for ''all hands
saved-inform wives and sweethearts. |"

INDIGESTION That This Monkey L. Endowed
with . Share Of Each.
"That the monkey possesses intelli-
gence to considerable degree is proba-
bly, true" said a hotel proprietor who
has a small as.nagerie on his premises
81 believe, however, much Of the intel
ligence with which that animal is cred
tied is due to his love of mimicry.
1.-The other day two young men with
two girls were at the monkeys cage
feeding him peanuts. One of the girls
was chewing gum, and one of the men
suggested that she give the monkey
some, expecting that if he took it in his
mouth it would stick to his teeth, and
he would make sorry work Of trying to
chew it. The girl at once parted with
the sweet morsel she was SO Industrious
~ chewing, extending it toward the
cage The monkey grabbed it instantly
and put it into his mouth, but instead
of chewing it, or attempting to, began
pulling it ont in small ribbons, as chill
dren are frequently seen to do. When
he had it all out of his mouth, he rolled
it into a compact ball between his
hands, threw it into his mouth and be-
gan the operation again. He appeared
to enjoy the performance as much as his
visitors. That was imitation.
''That's all right" rejoined another,
''but I had an experience with that
same monkey Wherein he displayed in
teIligence. was by the cage smoking
one day, and thought to annoy him by
blowing smoke in his face. Twas much
surprised to find that, instead Of being
annoyed, he enjoyed it, as was evil
denced by his edging up as near me as
possible to receive the smoke in larger
volumes Soon he began scratching
himse If at the point where most of the
smoke came against him. When had
smoked one side for few minutes, he
would turn squarely round to have the
other side treated in the same way.
Then he sat up directly in front of me
and received the smoke squarely in the
face and neck. I don't know whethe,
he held his breath, but he did not cough,
sreeze or vince a particle. To complete
the job he then sat with his back toward
me, and it would have done you good
| to have seen him throw his hind feet
over his back and scratch. 1t made me
think of the kickers Of hay tedder il
motion. Now that monkey knew
through some sort of intelligence, thai
nothing will send fleas and other insect
to the surface or stupefy them as effect
lively as tobacco smoke. Utica Oh
