The terrier walked Ground the post,
eying his intended victim and whining
ly daring him to come down. Suddenly
the monkey slid halfway down the
post, made q jump and landed on the
dogs back, where he bit and clawed
until the dog howled with agony. Turn
and twist as he would, the dog could
not reach the money to bite him before
he again sprang for the post and
reached the bracket in safety.
The dog was now wild with rage, and
he leaped and howled in his vain at
tempts to reach bis enemy. The mon
key paid no further attention to the
dog, who finally lay down at the foot
of the post and tried to lick his wounds.

key again dashed from his perch and

shoulders, where he fattened himself
out and stuck like leech, sinking bis
teeth into the dogs flesh.
This time the dog seemed to be ter

to free himself from his uncanny tor
mentor he tucked his tail between his
legs and made a dash for the street.
AS he passed through the door the
monkey slid from his back, and, run
ming up his masters body, perched
upon his shoulder, where he chartered
and scolded as long as he could see
the dog, who was running like a deer
down the street.

1t may be ony talk, but never

president, regardless" of the
free silver action of the national
convention at Chicago orany 9TH
er MISUNDERSTANDING post.
That won't do. True and low
al democrats are going to adhere
to the party and keep its organi-
zation intact because there are
things that the party stands for
outside of and beyond the money
question. 1t is the party of the
constitution; it is the conservator
of the principles upon which the
government is founded; it is the
defender of the rights of the states
and it is the party of popular
rights. For these reason the par
ty organizations must be kept up
and the men who believe in its
fundamental principles arc need
ed now, more than ever, to lend
their support and allegianee to
the integrity Of the party. We of
