One of the Strangest Sights in the
Whole Of India

w hO1c OF India.
London Globe.
Mrs. Clara Erskine Clement describes
graphically a visit to the ancient citv of
Amber, in India, and which is inhabited
only by few priests and thousands of
monkeys. The hill on which the old city
stands is surrounded by other high hills,
crowned with towers and ramparts and
covered with trees. The great castle fort
ress stands out boldly. The old zenana.

block of buildings, surrounded by a court

This is well-pOpulated and lively quar-

maun monkeys has taken possession and
dWells here in comfort and freedom The
Hindus religiously refrain from hurting
or killing any animal, and the MONKEYS
having no fear, are monarchs of all thew
choose to take.
The hoonoomaun, or languor, is the sa-
cred monkey, and the largest found in In
dia. Its height is from two and a half to
four feet; it's body is slngularly slender
and supple; its face is black and smooth
except for long white whiskers: the hair
on the body is gray on the back and white
under the stomach; it's tail is long and
bare, with a single tuft of hair on the end
The Bindus have legend which explains
its very black face. II saws that ages
ago, Hoonoomaun, the king Of the mon
Keys, went to assist Rama In the con-
quest of Ceylon. The demon-king of the
island had carried off Lita, the wife of
Rama, and he was determined to rescue
her. AS they came near to the island.
HoOnoomaun easily leaped over the
straits, so skillful a jumper was he, and
finding Lita, he was comforting her with
the news that her husband was approach
ing, when Ravana, the demon-king, ap-
peared and made Hoonoomaun prisoner.
After setting fire to the monkeys long
tall, he gave him his freedom, that he
might return to Rama. Hoonoomaun
succeeded in blowing out the fire at the
end of his tail, but in doing so he black
ened his face and singed his hair in a
most unbecoming fashion The loss of
his beauty so saddened the poor beast
that Rama made all the monkeys of his
kind kalamoukh, or black-faced, which
they remain to this day.

why don't men go to church," is one
of the national questions which originated
in this way. 1t was asked in the CORE
spondent column of a daily paper, and
hundreds of answers poured In with such
promptitude that it was found impossible
to print a quarter Of them, and the inter-

Another question which Englishmen
have not yet entirely threshed out is, Is

whfcfis being discussed In almost every

it's simple origin in the somewhat Ven
turesome MARY Jane who dared to ask
her mistress for night eut-other than

to?" she asked friend, who asked an
other more inquisitive than herself; and
now the nation is trying to solve it.

TO his stable, but when Bandmaster was
put between the shafts of O buggy he
kicked the dashboard into small pieces
ana proceeded to smash up the whole
thing
somebody suggested that Bandmaster
was race horse In disguise. Kelly
bought new buggy and Bandmaster was
put into his stall to be exercised and
galloped with the other horses.
He rapidly put on flesh, lost his scrub
by look, and breezed some pretty speedy
quarters before the early morning mists
had cleared away.
Meanwhile, a man who had noticed
ban0master and heard the story of his
purchase from Kelly, recollected seeing
the horse win some races through the
Texas bush circuit, and that his sire
was Forester.
KELLY WAS WISE.
kelly looked Wise. and made some
plans
Zone night Bandnaaster, by Forester,
dam unknown, was entered In flve-fur-
long race with some of the crack outlaw
racers.
mo one had ever heard Of Bandmaster,
and tho bookies laid anything you
pleased, within reason, on him.
Kelly bet 5000 straight, place, and
show, and stood 10 win about $1,000,
"Bandmaster got off in front, and won
by four lengths, and Kelly eashed his
tickets and took the, purse.
After that Bandmaster was judiciously
placed several times. One night two
weeks later he was entered and the wary
Dookmakers, thinking the black horse
dead one, ventured to chalk up Is and 20
to l on him.
kelly and his crowd hacked him off
the boards, and a couple hundred, dis
tributed where it would do the most good,
prevented any attention being paid to any
protests about the in-and-out running of
Bandmaster.
"Bandmaster then started in ten races
in four weeks and won eight of them.
kelly cleaned up about $4,000 from diff
ferent sources, sold out his stable, with
the exception Of the SIS horse, and depart
ed to go into the cattle business in New
Mexico.

spring and noticed fine looking black
horse with an English sIddle on his back,
fastened IN front Of a store.
HE had a familiar look about him,
which was explained when tall man,
a cattleman's usual attire, came out fed
the black steed an apple, mounted, then
patting his glossy neck, said loudly: Get
up, Bandmaster, old boy!'
1T was Kelly and his SI5 race horse, and
as they disappeared up the street l
thought it was one instance where a man
got some good out of the outlaw race
tracks"
