"GIVE US BACK THE TAILS"

"GIVE US BACK THE TAILS"
If we, as Mr.. Darwin says,
From monkeys are descended,
Old Time, in changing things hath not
As yet the matter mended.
Descendants Of our ancestors
Have no sueh times as they,
Who have no rent or tax
OF government to pay.
No tailor bills came in-Dame Nature
Clothing gave
And freaks Of fashion do not make
OF monkeygifk slave.
So the olden ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails;
And Darwin; If you can, my boy,
Just give Us back the tails.
No hurrying out Of bed had they;
No boiling breakfast down;
No hasty walk to shop in fear
OF some old bosses frown.
The lady-monkey sat not up
Till day the night did rout,
In waiting for the lodge to close
To let her husband out.
They had no votes, 'tis true, but they'd
No officers to keep;
And o'er defaulter's cash account
They never had to weep.
So the olden ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails;
And Darwin, If you can, my boy,
Just give Us back the tails.
They had no fashions promenade,
Where beauty's feet could stray;
Bot then the boss monkey had
Not milliner to pay.
They had no wine, the monkeys young
Through night to keep storming;
Theythereby saved you know YOURSELF
A headache in the morning
A peaceful race were they, who ne'er
To wars appeal did fly;
They saved thereby occasion for
A Joint Commission high.
A smarter race were they than that
Which from them hath descended
And Time, by changing things, hathnot
As yet the matter mended.
For the old ways the happiest way;
The new condition fails;
So Darwin, if you can. my boy.
. Please give Us back the tails.

During the rebellion he was wounded

Inconvenience, he is now a great
teacher of patriotism and loyalty.
Gen Gordon is today the sole surviv-
or among those who held high rank in
the confederate army. He was desig-
mated in official reports of the battles
in the south as the "Chevalier Bayard''
of the army.
He attracted much attention in 1894
when the followers of Eugene V. Debs
threatened an insurrection against the
interference Of the national administra-
affair, and said:
AS chief officer of the Association of
Confederate Veterans, I am prepared
to lead 100000 of these veterans and
others of the south in defense of the
nations laws, national authority and

A People Who Cannot Make Fire.

The Papuans of the Malay coast of New
Guinea are still in the most primitive
state. They arc wholly unacquainted with
metals and make their weapons of stone,
bones and wood. They do not know how
to start fire, though fire is used among
them. When u Russian asked them how
they made fire, they regarded it very
amusing and answered that when a per
son IS fire went out he got some of a neigh
bor, and if all the fires in the village should
go out they would get it from the next
village. Their fathers and -grandfathers
had told them that they remembered a
time or had heard from their ancestors that
there was time when fire was not known
and everything was eaten raw. The ma
t1ves of the southern coast of New Guinea,
having no iron, shave themselves with a
piece of glass. Formerly they shaved with
Hint, which they could sharpen quite well
and used with considerable dexterity.-
