Conclusive.

Many are the stories told of old
Father Neale of Virginia, the Bap-
tist preacher. He was by trade a
carpenter, and before he forsook
that business to become a minister
was head carpenter to General
Washington.
Father Neale's only book was the
Bible, and when he found a young
preacher using a concordance to
help him find texts he said:
You had better let that alone.
1t will do you more harm than
good. 1t will make you lazy"
But how can | do without itf"
asked the young preacher.
"Why, do as do, replied Father
Neale. Study the Bible till you
know it by heart.
Once he heard minister say that
the people could not have been i'm
mersed in the Jordan because that
river was so small that man could
almost dam it up with his foot.
That was too much for Father Neale.
Il don't pretend to have any
great learning" said he, with a
twinkle in his eye, but if l don't
read books of travel, there's one
book l do read, and that's the Bible.
Now our brother here says the Jor-
dan is SO small that you may stop
it with your foot. His books may
tell him so, but my book tells me
that David, when he was flying
from Absalom and wanted to cross
That same river Jordan, had to hire
4 boat to carry him ovwr' r'-Youth' 8

TO MY PIPE.

0h> love the merry gurgle of my pipe
Brier pipe,
Fhen the flavor Of the weed within ia ripei
What lullaby it purls
As the smoke around me curls,
Mounting slowly higher, higher,
As dream before the fire,
With flavor in my mouth
Like a zephyr from the south,
And my favorite tobacco
By my side.
Near my side,
With the soothing necromancy
Sweetly linking fact to fancy
In golden memory chain,
To the gurgle, sweet refrain,
OF my pipe, brier pipe,
To the fancy breeding gurgle of my pipeI
Oh, what subtle satisfaction in my pipe,
Brier pipe!
Nothing mundane can impart
Such contentment to my heart.
She's my idol, she's my queen,
Is my Lady Nicotine.
When in trouble, how yearn
For the incense which burn
At her shrine
How pine
For the fragrance Of her breathi
Robbed of terror cen is death
By her harmless hypnotism.
Healed is every mortal schism.
Foe and friend
Sweetly blend
At the burning Of tine brier.
Greed, cupidity, desire
Fade away within the smoke,
In the fragrant, feecy smoke
From my pipe, magic pipe,
From my glowing, peace bestowing, CUR
Cling pipe.

PLAYED ON HIS WEAKNESS

How Refractory Chimpanzee Was
Brought SAtO Submission.
The series Of Historical mon
keys" kept at the ZOO began with
joe a chimpanzee, which the erec-
ton of the new monkey house en-
abled to be kept alive for some time.
Frank Buckland's description of his
management by Mr. Bartlett gives
an insight into his readiness and re-
source in dealing with different ami
mails. The big ape needed exercise.
This he obtained by being allowed
the run of the large monkey house,
instead of remaining in side room,
before the visitors came. AS he
knew he would be caught and put
back into his own room at this hour,
the ape used to climb up to the top
of the other monkeys cages and re-
fuse to come down. AS he could
not be tempted by food, Mr.. Bart
lett appealed to his mind by work
ing Oh what he had noted to be his
weak points, curiosity and coward
ice. This is Frank Buckland's ac-
count of tbs daily proceedings at
this hour: "Mr Bartlett went to
the keeper, and, touching him gen
tly on the shoulder, directed his at
tention in a mysterious manner to
the dark passage underneath the
gas pipe which traverses the house,
pretending to point out to Sutton
some horrible unknown creature.
using an energetic manner, but say
ing nothing except words to this
effect: Look out There he is! There
he is' At the same time the two
men would peer into the dark place
under the gas pipe.
The monkey used presently to
come down to see what the subject
of fear and interest was, when Mr..
Bartlett and Sutton used to shout:
Hes coming out! He's coming
out!' and rushed away in the direc-
ton of Joe's cage. The monkey
would rush for the same place of
safety, which happened to be the
door of his own house, and some
times enter it before them. Buck
land notes it as curious that the
monkey never learned the decep-
tion, but would be taken in by it
whenever the time came to finish
his mornings airing.
These indirect methods" of ami
NAL management, sometimes akin
to the wonderful way" some peo-
pie have with little children, never
failed Mr.. Bartlett. To the last he
would walk around and see all the
creatures as to whose health or tenn
per the keepers had any misgivings,
and his suggestions or directions
were scarcely ever at fault. Take,
for example. the difficult case of a
rhinoceros with a bad "place" on
his face. The question was, Does
the abscess come from bad tooth,
or does it only need lancing2 You

BATTLE OF FLOWERS
Fierce While It Lasted but It Was
ALI Too Short

When the last exhibit passed out from
the tribunes there was lull in the pre-
ceedings for a few moments, and then
the Americus club lined up and, after
displaying their skill in performing in
tricate figure evolutions, made way for
the Giving bouquets" and the fairy
coach of little Queen Flora. The floral
queen and her court made most digni-
fled departure and in passing from the
tribunes were accorded loving fare we'll
by the thousands of spectators,
Then the parade again entered and
made the circuit of the tribunes, and in
passing the royal pavilion, where the
judges had taken up their stand the win
ners of prizes in the several classes were
awarded the guerdon of honor. Then,
too, took place the battle of flowers. The
odoriferous missiles flew thick and fast
so long as the dainty ammunition lasted,
and it was carried on sans ceremony, for
no one waited for formal introduction
before pelting his or her neighbor. 1t
was good fun while it lasted but it didn't
last long enough. And then as the tail
end of the parade disappeared through
the gateway her majesty and court took
their departure, and the floral exhibitkn
was at an end.
