MORE COMPLAINTS AGAINST THE
MONKEY.
1t was very hungry monkey that the
organ grinder brought In our midst on
Fast Day, for not only did the animal try
to feed on the arm of the little girl. men,
tion Of which was made in yesterday s
PRESS, but he succeeded in getting away
with John Melia's beet seeds. Mr.. ID ella
had nice line run In his garden for the
seeds, and turning round to get his bag
of seeds found that the monkey had break
tasted on them, paper and all. The mon
key was about as vivacious IS the shang-
hal rooster that cleaned up Reuben
Smart's pea seeds some years ago. The
occasion is recalled when Mr.. Smart
went to Portland and bought valuable
seeds, worth $50 or 500 bushel. He care
fully deposited th EN- in the ground and
turning round found his shanghai roos-
ter had followed closely in his trail and
gobbled up the seeds just as fast as they
were dropped.
