WHEN A MONKEY is A DOG.
How auckland, the Naturalist, Got
Some Good Pointers ON
Animals.

A good story of an amusing alteration
which once took place between Mr.. Frank
auckland and booking clerk is revived.
The naturalist had been in France, and was
returning via Southampton with an over
coat stuffed with specimens of all sorts, dead
and alive. Among them was a monkey,
which was domiciled in a large breast pocket.
As auckland was taking his ticket, Joke
thrust up his head and attracted the atten-
ton of the booking clerk, who Immediately
and very properly-said: "You must have
a ticket for that dog, if it's going with you"
"Dog?" said auckland, Indignantly; cts
no dog, it's monkey"
ITS dog" replied the clerk.
cts monkey" retorted auckland, and
proceeded to show the whole animal, but
without convincing the clerk, who insisted
on five shillings for the dog ticket to London.
Naturally nettled at this, auckland
plunged his hand into another pocket and
produced tortoise, and, laying it on the
sill of the ticket window, said: Perhaps
you'll call that dog, too"
The clerk inspected the tortoise. NO."

accident occurred whereby 30 Indians
met death by drowning near Laggan,

and at daybreak four large war canoes,
with about Is men in each, started
across the lake to the great pot latch
ground on the other side. The Indians
had been drinking during the night and
not one of the boats but had half
tipsy crew. The Indians got n half
mile into the lake when they ran into a
dense fog which one of the survivors
described as being SO thick that they
could not see ahead. Then, amidst
shouting between the boats, some one
proposed that they race for the other
shore for the possession of the best
tents there. They started rowing very
fast and had not gone 200 yards
through the dense fog when two of the
boats crashed into each other. The
crafts struck each other sl&ntwise.
throwing all the occupants into the
water. The boats were bound with
hides, and when these broke through,
the craft sank. Out of all the rowers,
only two were rescued.

mother, with the idea of numbering her
two children and then committing sui
eide. The tragedy evidently grew
out of quarrel between the woman
and her husband, Otto Schilling, a
tailor.
