door and gained an entrance In that way.
1t hardly seems credible that a man of or
binary girth, to say nothing of police
men, could get through the narrow place,
but it is on record that the two policemen
did actually go in this way, for they chas-
ed the monkey at least an hour before
they succeeded in getting him back into
his cage. He showed marked agility In
avoiding them. bounding from the floor
to the cages at the side of the room, AMI
from one side to the other, until their
eyes stuck out of their heads In the at
tempt to follow his movements. Finally
they determined that the monkey was
better at the game than they were, and,
hunting around, they found two sticks
about six or eight feet long. With these
they stirred up the monkey when he got
upon the cages at the side. but the irou-
BILE was that at the same time they stirred
up the parrots, and when they had done
this the noise and confusion were so great
that they could hardly tell which was
monkey, which were parrots and which
were policemen.
Finally, the monkey was cornered and
then driven along the wall and into his
cage, and the policemen crawled out again
through the hole in the glass. The store

Creatures, and, of Course, There
Was "A Time.
From the Boston Transcript
A sad-faced monkey, with a fringe of ag-
ricultural chin whiskers, got out Of his
cage in q bird store on Bromfeld street
Yesterday afternoon, and, owing to the alb
sence of every one from the store, he was
not put back in it again until about u
O'Clock at night. When he did go, 1t was
at the instance Of two policemen armed
with long poles, who had broken through
the door i'm order to stop the devastation
which he was causing in the interior, and
he returned to imprisonment with the
proud consciousness that he had done
everything which a monkey could do TO
make it interesting for the other occupants
of the store.
His first act on escaping from his cage
appears to have been to let out the par
rots. There are many brilliant-hued At
rican parrots in the store, and the color
scheme created by their release seemed to
please the monkey immensely, for he at
tempted a closer acquaintance with them.
The parrots, however, were coy, and
sought the cages at the top Of the store,
SO that the monkey was only able to pull
out the tail of one Of them. After this
the artistically arranged cages in the win
dows caught his eye, and for awhile he
amused himself by plling these up In
heap ON the door, but soon he longed again
for the pleasures OF the chase. There were
several rabbits in the store, which he let
out and chased round and round, finally
choking them to death About this time
he began TO get hungry, and his eye chance
ing to light on the gold FISH, which were
swimming about in glass globes In the
center Of the store, he thought that they
would do for meal. He first tried 10
snatch them out, but this process was too
slow. and he pushed one Of the globes
over, smashing ii and scattering the fish
about on the floor.
The monkey picked them up and ate
them and then pushed over another globe,
perhaps Just to see II It would make as
pretty a noise as the other. Then he
chased the parrot some more, and pushed
over more globes until there were none
left. After this he seems to have discov.
cred the supplies Of different kinds of bird
food at the back OF the shop, and began
pulling these packages TO pieces and
throwing them at the parrots.
Il was this performance which attract
ed the attention OF two policemen. Look
ing through the window. they saw what
was wrong inside, and as the door was
locked, and there was no time 10 80 for

Train.
From the London Spectator.
A London coachman. who. for years,
had charge of large and beautiful stable
of superb carriage horses. told the writer
that carriage dog owned by his master
invariably ran beneath the pole chains the
moment the carriage started. and would
make the circuit OF the park several times
without moving more than a few inches
from his place, the three animals--two
horses and the dog-moving like a ma
chine. Curiously enough, the dog chose
his particular horse TO live and sleep with

Greyhounds also learn 70 run with traps
1t was the custom for sporting farmers In
East Anglia to drive TO market with a
pair of these dogs, either running with
their heads Just beneath the tail-board, or
one on either side OF the cart Their pace
was a trot, step for step with the horse
The use Of carts and carriages for loco
motion Is much more readily learned by
dogs than the art Of keeping safe among

he sees them is to shut off steam. This
makes the engine nolseless, but the whole
train PUSHES on, plainly visible, but with
absolutely no terror for hounds, who seem
TO look on the swift, silent thing as per-
feetly harmless. If It were a corn-wagon
or putting traction engine they would get
out OF the way.
When the short line Of railway was made
across the neck of Dobrudscha, in Turkey,
from Kustendjl to the Danube, the Turks
were almost as stupid. They seemed un-
able to realize that the train would not
stop, and would drive their sheep along
the line, and one man endeavored to stop
runaway truck by putting his foot on the
rail-
