BY FRANCES LAPLAcE Q31k YEARS..
One bright June day Willie's aunt
Mary took lunch with his mother. When
it was time for her to leave. as she kissed
the little boy good-by, she slipped a bright
silver dollar into one of his rosy hands.
Oh, how happy he was, and how big that
dollar looked
Q Willie spent great deal of time in
thinking of the lovely things he could buy
with it, and loved to take it out of his
pocket and look at it many times day.
One afternoon as he was running gayly
down the street, his beloved dollar tightly
. clasped in one little band, he met an old
organ grinder, and capering around on
the top of the organ was the cutest, tiniest
m monkey he had ever seen.
Willie stopped and stared. with mouth
wide5open, at the man and his monkey.
"Ob, if 1 might buy that monkey with
my dollar, how happy l should bel"
thought the boy. So he plucked up his
courage and tmidly asked, please, Mister
Organ grinder, Will you sell me that little
monEey?"
How mucha mona you giva for da
monk?" answered the Italian.
Now before We go on with the story
must tell you Illdt Inc man was very
wicked and cunning. He knew that no
matter how much money might be given
him for his monkey the animal was so
vicious and mischievous that no one
could possibly keep it but himself, and by
hanging around the premises of its pur.
chasers he would soon recover possession
OF his monkey again.
So7when Willie, holding up his precious
dollar, said This much," the Italian
answered:
'Taka da monka, bov. 1 sella hima
vera cheapa. Hima no bita; vera gooda
monk"
The bargain being settled Willie started
for home, clasping his purchase tight in
his arms, while the organ-grinder slyly
watched him until he entered his father s
c. grounds.
Il soona geta monk back; plenta mona
buy good vino," he muttered as he
walked away.
The San Francisco call., 1896-11-29

When Willie rushed into the house and
showed the monkey to his mother she de-
clared she would not have it about. The
poor little boy begged so hard to be al
lowed to keep it that she finally con-
sented on condition that he keep it in
the woodshed.
So Mr.. Monkey was taken to his new
quarters; but, alas Willie forgot to shut
the door.
Supper time came and Willie bad not
yet dared to tell his father how he had
spent his dollar. but his papa soon found
out without his little sons telling him
anything about it.
When the family were all seated around
the table piercing screams were suddenly
heard issuing from the yard. Willie's
father rushed out and found Bridget, al
most frightened to death, with dark OBJ
iect on her shoulder and two wicked little
hands tugging fiercely at her hair.
"Ow! ow! Oh! take it away!. Shure
an it's monkey. Och be quick and tax e
it awayW screamed tn e poor girl.
The San Francisco call., 1896-11-29

Attracted by the savory odors of the
pantry the monkey soon tore hole in the
mosquito netting which covered the open
window and gained an entrance. As he
clambered over the shelves of course
everything movable was thrown down,
and pies, cakes, butter and eggs swan in
the milk which flooded the floor.
Mr.. Page called his wife and Bridget to
see the condition of their pantry and to
help him catch the cause of the trouble
who had disappeared.
Just as they had finished searching
through the rooms downstairs they were
startled by terrified yells from Willie.
Quick Quickl" said Mrs. Page, "ihe
monkey must be in his room," as she
dashed up the stairs, followed by her hus-
band and Bridget.
Mr.. Page hastily lighted the gas, while
his wife flew to her boy, and Bridget
stood in the door fiourishing the broom.
The light disclosed poor Willie sitting
up in bed, the monkey perched on his
shoulder, pulling his hair with one band
and scratching the dear little face with
the other.
Mr.. Page was so ang-y at this sight that
he grasped the animal by the neck and,
opening the window, flung him into the
street, not without receiving few bites
and scratches in the scuffle.
1t was quite while before all the dam
age done that night was repaired, and
Willie bore the marks of the monkey s
claws for some time.
One day, about month after this, Will
lie again met the organ grinder and, much
to his surprise. he had with him the same
wicked little monkey.
The man knew him, and said, with a
grin: Don't you lika buya monk to-day ?
l sella vella cheapa. Good monk-no
bita."
But Willie walked away without paying
any attention to the two WELL mated COM
panions, and I'm. sure alter HIS woeful ex-
perience he always asks the advice of his
m other or father before he spends his sill
yer dollars.

ATTY.

Four hungry-l looking animals
All seated in a row;
Why does not some one speak to them2
That's what want to know.
They all of them were hidden to
A fine Thanksgiving feast,
And now, 1t seems TO me, their host
Might welcome them, at least.
Twas Master Pug invited them
Why does he not appear?
'Tis plain they think his a bsence looks
Extremely rude and queer.
Alas! poor Pug's in trouble sore,
The host he cannot play;
No feast for self or friends has he
On this Thanks giving day.
He saw turkey, large and fat,
Upon the kitche shelf;
"That's just the very thing want
Said he unto himself.
He caught the turkey, but the cook
Caught him with firmer grasp,
And shook him till he could not bark,
But only choke and gasp.
Meanwhile, those hungry animals,
Who'd waited there in vain,
Declared they never would be guests
OF Mr.. Pug again.

HARD. BLACK ROCK.
John Marchion anu Others Believe They
Have Good Thing.

John Ma rchion anu others Believe They
Have "A Good Thing.
John Marchion of this city is very much
interested in the report which comes from
a prospect in the mountains so miles west
Of Hamilton. AID Wolfe and others are at
work on the development. The ore is gold
bearing and the assays are most promis-
ing. The country in which IL is found Is
covered with a heavy growth of timber.
and the formation of the ground is pc
culiar. Overlapping the vein of ore is a
cap rock of black mineral. as to the ex-
act nature of which has not been settled.
All prospectors who have examined IL
have reached divergent conclusions. Ben
Caspar says it looks like black selenite.
though he never before saw any selenite
that was black. Mr.. Showers of Gable,
after minute examination. called the sub
stance hornblende, containing feldspar
crystals. Ransom futile advances the
idea that IL is like unto slate and of such
a character.
Mr.. Marchion does not name the stuff.
He calls IL cap rock and is content to let
IL go at that so long as the ore beneath
IL brings good returns from the assayer.
A small sample of the rock is black as
jet in color. very hard. and contains
small pink particles which are of crystal
line hardness. There is a small per cent
of gold in it, The stratum is about three
or four inches thick.
