TALE OF A MONKEY.

Points a Moral.

Points a Moral.
Leader Louis Grenner, of the Roscoe
Conkling Republican club of the TWEEN
~ty-seventh assembly district, tells. this
story of a monkey, with a moral to it:
THE wife of a friend had a pet
monkey of the name of Pete. Pete
was a clever little rascal, who knew
all the children in the neighborhood,
and was well liked. Whenever q child
was sick the parent would come to
my friends wife and get a loan of
Pete for a day or two. He would
muse the sick child by his queer an
tics and do it more good than all the
doctors and medicine in New York.
But Pete was a thief. He could not
help stealing, but he stole only for the
sake of eating. He loved sugar. eggs
and pastry, and would take all sorts
of chances to obtain what he liked
One day, only a short time ago. my
friends wife was about to make a
cake. She beat the eggs and sugar
into a large china dish and was about
to put in the raisins and -four when
she had to leave the room. After she
left the room Pete seized that dish
and emptied it. Then he quickly de-
voured the raisins. When my friends
wife returned she found the best part
of the intended cake gone. She knew
who did it, although to look at Pete
no II would suspect him, he looked
so innocent.
when Pete did anything wrong he
was deprived of his liberty by being
tied up to his cage. He was punished
in that way on this particular occasion,
and was put outside the window on
the sill. My friend lived on the sec
ond floor. About an hour later Pete's
mistress went into the yard and look
ing up saw Pete. He was mad clean
through and kept chatting and showed
his teeth. The lady shook her hand
at Pete and said: You're a naughty
monk, Pete. This made Pete wild aud
the next moment he picked up his
cage, forgetting that he picked up his
it, and hurled it at my friends wife.
OF course Pete went with the cage
and landed head first on the pavement
in the yard. He fell fully forty feet
and was instantly killed. My friend
felt sorry about Pete's death, but it
taught him a lesson, never to let his
temper control his actions. Pete was
buried in the back yard, and over his
grave is a tombstone on which is in
scribed, Sacred to the Memory of
Pete, Whose Temper Cost Him His
Life. kim Friends Take Warning.' "

SPEAR AGAINST RIFLE.
The Cold steel of Snvages Not to ID
Despised in Battle.

The Cold Steel of Snvages Not to Be
Despised in Battle.
There is trouble ahead for the eX-
petition up the Nile, if the dervishes
have become good riflemen. as a cable
dispatch from London reports, on the
authority of a correspondent of the
Army and Navy Gazette" According
TO this correspondent, the dervishes
can now deliver a deadly rifle fire
which will enable them to combine
European tactics with formidable on
sets of cavalry and spearmen in the
old style. He adds that the British
tactics of forming squares and wait
ing the shock of battle will no longer
answer against the Mahdists, and, if
persisted in, will result in rout and
ruin.
In the stubborn fighting between the
British and the Mahdists during the
expeditions of 1884 and 1885, the
square was a favOrite formation with
the British, who met in his way the
fiery charges of the dervishes at Ia
mai and Abou Klea. Such tactics were
sound enough under the military CON
ditions then existing. as the tribes
had few rifles and little skill with
this weapon. Thus solid formations,
which would have crumbled to pieces
under fire, offered the best mean of
meeting the desperate PUSHES of the
Soudanese spearmen. How formid-
able these charges We're was shown
at the battle of Tamai. where the
IIadendowas crushed in the face of Il
British square, captured several Gail
ing guns, and forced the "Black
Watch one of the toughest fighting
regiments in the British service, to
give ground.
We said at the time that if the
Arabs eve attained skill as marks
men, so that their rifle fire would
match the excellence of their spear
work, the British would have to give
up the idea of fighting in squares and
face the charges of the tribesmen in
open order. If, as the correspondent
of the army and Navy Gazette" as
| serts. the dervisheS are now able to
combine firearms effectively with the
cold steel, the Anglo-Egyptian troops
have a far more formidable task be-
fore them in their present invasion
of the Soudan than Sir Gerald Graham
and Sir Herbert Stewart had to deal
with in the expedition of 1854 and
1SS5.-Boston Herald.

The old code explaining the signif-
canoe of a patch on a certain part Of
the face was as follows: The ''im-
passioned' patch was fixed at the
corner of the eye: the gallant" in the
middle of the cheek; the r~ecleuse Tor
receiver of stolen goods, on IA spot or
pimple; the e~ffrontee, or bold-faced,
on the nose, and the ''coquette" on the
lips. A round patch was called "the
assassin" The great Massillon

thematized patches. The effect pro-
duced by his discourse was rather I'M
expected; patches We're worn in greater

things for her to endure was the feel

when for any reason she walked up in

that had always made the sunlight in
her home for her. One night she
walked and began to feel that dreadful
lump in her throat that you all know
so well when anything troubles you,
but just as the pain began to be more
than she could bear and to force hot
tears from her eyes, the dear Lady
Moon came sailing into view in her
silver boat.
"Oh, Lady Moon," the lonely little
girl cried, II am so glad to see you;
why, your face looks like my dear
mamma, so soft and kind" Then it
seemed as if the Lady Moon smiled
down at her a gentle. loving smile.

Moon, l know you will" Then the
little girl kissed her hand to the moon
and said, Good night! Good night!
