Trouble In Teaching Monkey..

An experienced animal trainer says
"As rule, monkeys are readily train
ed. but occasionally there is one, as in
the human species, who is a Ounce and
won't learn anything. is positively
stupid and refuses persistently to be
come educated. The trouble in teach.
ing monkeys is largely that they are
mischievous. They try to override
things and do things which are not
wanted of them. So that in order to
make them perform as desired steady
drilling is necessary. although they
grasp an idea quickly. The only two
species of animals which can be taught
by precept and exaEc pie are the chin
panzee and the orang outaug.. They
are imitators. and 10 instruct them in
doing thing it is only necessary for
the trainer 10 do it first himself. and
then either one of these will initiate
him."-Washington Post.

A Good Natured Dog.

A very ordinary looking farm horse
hernessed to an old wagon stood by
the curb, and on the board that served
for seat lay small dog of such
mixed blood that no guess could be
made as to his breed.
AS delivery wagon passed on the
opposite side of the street large red
apple fell off Before it stopped roll
ing the dog bounded across the street,
picked it up with his teeth and with
tail wagging rushed back to the horse,
in front of which he stood up on his
hind legs while the apple was taken
from his mouth.
As the horse munched the apple he
made the peculiar little noise that
horses make when petted, and doggiC
replied with throaty little barks
which plainly told what pleasure Il
had been to go after that apple. Then
he went back TO his nap on the wagon
seat.-Burlington Free Press.
