MOTHERS PRIDE IN HER OFFSPRING.
There Is a baby monkey at the Park. 1t was
bora last Monday. and came in the nature Of
great surprise 70 every concerned except its
fond mother. The mother IL called Jennie. and the
father goes by the appellation OF Max. They have
been keeping house together for some little time In
q cage the right of the monkey room as one
enters from the south. Mother and child are both
doing well. and the little fellow IS pronounced by
some OF those who see him to be the sweetest
thing alive" The parents belong to the tribe of
monkeys known the Java Macoua, having rather
long gray hair. and OF about medium Size as
monkeys go. '
This Is the first baby monkey born alive at the
Zoo in the Park since 1885, and from what Jake"
the monkey man, says, the little fellow will eclipse
the baby hippopotamus in the attention he Is bound
to receive from the public.
When a Tribune reporter went into the monkey
house yesterday afternoon he found Jake
wreathed in smiles and as happy as a clam at high
tide.

A YOUTHS EXPERIENCE.
Continued.


In the midst of this Arnold
Goodliff, a young man who reliev-
ed the guard that was in the fore
castle, discovered one of the round
light holes open, and as the ship
dipped, the water poured in, in tor
rents. He stepped to one side,
closed the light hole and stopped
the water. This was the supposed
leak that was sprung.
A part of the day before had
been pleasant and some one had
opened the window, and lucky for
them that the captain did not
find out who did it.
Our location at this time was
away up in the north far out Of
our course, being driven there by
the south wind before named, and
after seven weeks, principally very
rough sailing, we sighted land at
Cape May, on the 18th Of April,
and as we approached the land we
saw what to me seemed the most
lovely sight [ ever saw. The SIM
was shining lovely on the beautiful
blossoms of lovely green, made it
look like very paradise. We were
then towed up the Delaware river
nearly two days with It's lovely
scenery on both sides Of us, and I
felt happy at the sight, and on the
Goth day Of April, 1856, we first
sat our feet on American soil, as
on that day we landed in Shipping
The Union. [volume] (St. George, Utah) 1882-1898, 1896-04-16

In recent issue of the St. Louis
Globe Democrat we find the follow
ing:
"By going to a silver basis the
United States would find itself as
ISOLATED with China, India, Japan,
Straits settlements, Persia, Mexico,
Central America, Peru, Bolivia and
Ecuador. The list is not very long
or imposing nor inviting. In fact,
the idea of getting Uncle Sam into
such company is painful evidence
of degeneracy."
Well, suppose it did, would we not
be associating ourselves with three
fourths of the population of the earth?
And would we be any worse off either
financially or commercially or NOR
ally to be associated with the coun-
