A MONKEYS WARDROBE.
BrummeI, the Best Dressed Monkey
in All Creation.


A white-faced Japanese monkey, own
ed by a member of the Union League
Club of New York, is quite dandy In
his way. He Is certainly the best dress
ed and best groomed simian in the
world, and very appropriately Is named
Brummel. 1t was in London recently
that the owner conceived the idea OF
providing his monkey with decent
clothes. Man, he argued, owed a Ger.
tain debt of gratitude to dead monkeys,
which they could repay In no better
fashion than by showing a decent cour-
tesy to the living ones. And to this
forcible reasoning Brummel owes his
wardrobe. His master sent to Poole.
Mr.. Poole Is the most fashionable
which means the most expensive-tail-
or In London, and therefore In the
world. One has to be introduced be-
fore Poole will make clothes for one.
Mr.. Poole sent Dent, the famous Dent,
his head cutter, to measure Brummel,
and within two weeks the monkey had
the neatest little wardrobe that ever
mortal monkey possessed. His dress
suit is made Of the costliest broadcloth,
faced with satin, and stitched through
out with silk. His walking costume Is
Of heavy English tweed, and when you
see Brummel with his cap perched
jauntily upon his head and a walking
stick in one hand you have vivid I'm
preston Of having seen something like
it before probably upon trans-Atlan-
tic liner. His pyjamas are of the light.

A young man who recently made an
assignment In Boston, owing $4,000
and without any visible assets, seems
to possess all the necessary qualifica-
tons for a Napoleon Of finance. He
induced the leading business houses
of Boston to sell him large bills of
goods, and. after buying expensive
jewelry, hall clocks. cigars, carriages
and clothes and filling his house with
costly furniture, transferred all this
property to his wife, made an assign

he would try to settle with them on

VIM. E. Curtis writes from New York
to the Chicago Record: 1T Is curious
fact that many NEWCOMERS, the men
who keep their noses on the grindstone,
and couldn't go to the Worlds Fair In
1893 because they had to watch their
money bags, have never become fully
convinced that civilization has crossed
the Allegheny mountains, and that the
inhabitants Of Iowa, Michigan and ILL
nois have entirely abandoned breech
clouts for breeches. And they asso-
ciate Western ideas with mercantile
failures, wildcat mining enterprises and
improbable railways, forgetting That
most of the schemes in which they have
lost money were Matched here in New
York, and that many Of the ablest bank
presidents in this city are Western
men,"
