Monkeys rs Ely Catcher.

An interesting fact known to students
of natural history was touched on by a
gentleman who has given considerable at
tention to the study Of monkeys and their
antics Mr. Austin IL the gentleman re-

lone Of the most peculiar features about
monkeys-aside from their faces-is their
ability to catch flies. Fact Ever been I'm

seen a lot Of flies on the counter, and may
be you've seen man trying to scoop them
up with his hand. II you watch the man,
you will find that he puts himself to n
great deal Of trouble TO do the work. He
will pull up his sleeve, bare his wrist and
lunge viciously Mt the gathered knot Of
flies. Chances are he won't get any, but
instead will knock over half dozen glasses
in the attempt. The monkey beats tho
man at the game. Every time he goes for

farm near Pleasant Home, brought in
from his farm q curiosity. He discov-

sists Of Late Rose potato grown in the
root of tree. The potato vine seems to
have crept into the root, and the new
potato then started down in the depths.
1t flourished in its strange surroundings
and developed into large and well
formed potato. The room in the root
was too small for its expansion, and so
the spud exerted not less than q ton
pressure on the root until the side was
split open. The root is about inches
in diameter and 6 inches in length.

Its Use Not Lawful.

When the Daily Republican gives such
prominencs TO the suggestion Of an Ad
dicksIte that tho American hag be 80
lected as the party emblem It is appar
emily ignorant OF the provisions of the
secret ballot law.
For the edl6cation OF 1t AMI It's Ad.
dicksite friend we call attention to the
following extract from tho law referred
to:
1.-THE certifc lte shall also designate a
title for the party which said convention
or COMMITTEES represents. togethsr with
any simple figure or device by which It's
list of candidates may be designated on
the ballot. Provided that the figure, !. OF
title or devics selected and designated by
the State Convention or committee of
any party shall be used by
that party throughout the state
only one hgure or device shall be
used by aparty at any election. The
Eame title, figure or device shall not be
used by more than one party, and the
party hrst certifying a name, title, figure
or device to the clerks OF tue peace shall
have the prior right to use the sama
Such figure or device may be the figure
of star, an eagle. ploW, or some such
appropriate symbol, but the coat OF arms
or seal Of the state, or Of the Unlted
States. or the hag OF the United States
shall not bs used as such figure or de-
vice.
Thus It will bs seen that the AddIcks
PATRIOTS scheme is not lawful Neither
do We believe that the regular Rspubli-
cana and Democratic clerks of the peace
viii ever permit the AddioksItes to be
