In the Monkey Temple. Benares.


We had provided ourselves with pop
corn and other goodie, which we ex-
pected to offer their holiness. But the
monkeys did not give US a chance to do
that. They snatched the dainties from
our hands, and when our supplies were
exhausted they amused themselves by
mimicking us.
One of our party, who had bad cold
used his handkerchief with consider,
able emphasis. Scarcely had he re
placed his handkerchief in his pocket
when monkey seized the protruding
end, pulled it out and gave an excellent
imitation of the act. Then, of course,
some of us had kodaks, and after we
had taken several pictures another per-

little block OF wood which lay upon the;
ground, and with it took several snap

often heard of CATO METALS. but he
had never seen any before. He had a

loudly.
IF they won't eat my rats I'd like to

coming his fear and stroking their
heads boldly.
Are there many of them up here?"
asked Sandy.
These are the only ones 1 ever

We'll, they certainly eat the rats,

To choose a Christmas tree:
For. being well brought up. of course,
They quite believed in Santa Claus

Against their mothers wishes
Went out TO hunt for rabbits while
She washed the breakfast dishes
But naughty boys who disobey
Are very apt to rue the day.

Had pounced upon the bunny.
They saw a sight they scarcely thought
EXcruciating funny;
For five bear heads were plain to see,
And five bear threats gave grunts OF Slee.

For. though bears show affection.
They have a pressing way with them
That's bad for the com 9leXlon.
Now. though the boys did note it not,
They picked the best tree of the lot

The bears were much elated.

so he gradually came to look upon his
wonderful experience as a dream.
But one day he was sitting at his
window during a thunder storm. when
suddenly there came binding flash
and Sandy felt himself being rushed
up through the air on a thunderbolt.
He had never heard of thunderbolts
going away from the earth and he had
always supposed that they were hot.
but before he had time to think much
about it ne had landed in a place that
was on planet that was not Harrah,
and was certainly not the earth.
The ground was of a dazzling gold
color-which made Sandy think that
maybe it was the sun, and although
in pits-not from pits, but in pits. The
bigger they grew the deeper they sank
SO that their tops were always ever,
with the earth.
THAT makes it easier to gather the
fruit" said Sandy to himself. but it
isn't half as pretty as our way. and it
can't be any fun to climb them
He had landed in the middle of a
large plain full of tree holes. There was
one house in each tree pit. but although
he could see for miles around there
was not a person in sight. This made
him feel lonesome, so he began to
whistle.
AS if in answer to the call little dog
bounded out of a tree hole and came
weighing toward him ON his back. tail
first, with his four legs stiff in the air.
II wish there was someone l could
ask questions Of" said Sandy What
in the world has this dog got legs for if
he squirms along upon his back like
snake?'I don't think that snakes do
squirm along on their backs, but Sandy
knew what he meant. so it doesn't mat
Ter.
The little dog stopped in front of
him and began to zap and the noise
brought his master ont OF the pit He
was a little boy about seven feet tall.
and so thin that Sandy immediately
called him the lath-boy, and by that
title we must know him, as he didn't
tell Sandy his name.
Hello" said Sandy, why does your
dog run on his back?"
How could he carry fruit if he
didn't?'' Said the lath-boy.
"All our dogs do that. Jobinkum."
said he. in just as good English as that
spoken in Harrah, Il want to give you,
a load of peachels." And with that he
jumped into the top of the tree and be-
gan TO pick fruit that was a peach
