From Certain Death
by shipwreck.
A GERMAN merchant. who had long
n done business in the island Of Java,
at length made UP his mind to wind
UP his business affairs and return to his
old home In Hamburg. 1t took him a
whole year to get ready, but the time
finally came when he was free. He in
tended to go home by a certain steamer
and to take with him large amount of
money and to ship a quantity of valu-
able goods.
The merchant telegraphed to Batavia
to find just what day the steamer would
arrive at his port, and his telegram was
replied to, but when IT was delivered at
his Office he was out, and 1t was laid on
his desk. He had for years owned a. pet
monkey, and, though the animal had
never destroyed a paper before, on this
occasion he actually ate the telegram up.
He was chained up and promised whip
ping, and the merchant sent off another
telegram. A storm mad broken the wires,
however, and 1t did not get through for
day or two. 1t was then too late. The
steamer arrived, took on passengers and
freight, and was off again in a few
hours.
The merchant was sadly disappointed.
and the monkey would surely have had
its ears cuffed, If no more, when startling
news arrived Within six hours after the
steamer had put to sea she struck rock
and went down with all hands. Not one
single person out. Of the hundred or more
z on board was saved. Had the merchant
taken passage on her he would have been
lost with the rest. 1t did not take him
long to figure out that the monkey had
saved his life and fortune by eating that
telegram up. and instead of being pun
ished Jocko was forgiven and made a
hero. They even had his pictures in the
papers. and when finally taken to Batavia
crowds called to see him, and he was
hailed as the Telegraph Monkey" He
went to Germany with his master, and
am sorry to say that the change of
climate brought about his death within a
year.

before. 1t was only later that 1t became
known to mutual friends that 1t was at
the request of the president.
'"The following stanza was the one that
naturally most appealed to him and SEEM
ed to voice his opinion Of the part he
had to play in the great coming events
Of the times:
'Tf you cannot in the conflict
Prove yourself a soldier true:
II where fire and smoke are thickest
There's no work for you to do,
You can cheer the broken-hearted,
Strengthen those with courage fed;
You can bear away the wounded,
You can cover up the dead"
