covering. Samoo realized The utility of a
cap at once and has worn it without pro-
test ever since.
By these methods, and without the use
OF the whip that is considered so indispen-
sabie by most trainers of an nails, Sambo' S
education was carried on.
He can dress himself without assist ance,
putting on his shoes and stockings. as
carefully as an orderly boy, at pieal-times
carrying his chair to the table and sitting
up like a regularly recognized mHnsber Of
the family, eaIng his meals aeccTously
and dainuly with his napkin tucked IN
der his chin, and behaving, in short, with
the best Of table manners.

The most interesting experiment is the
attempt that Mr.. Buck is making to de-

Although sambo is hardly of an age to

given Mrs. Fish an opportunity 10 score

Mrs. Palmer had left an order for an
elaborate gown, merely outlining the style,
and leaving the c0.orings and material 10

had a garment in the hands of the same
modiste, and, calling a the dressmaking

She inquired the name Of the person for
whom the dress materials had been OBJ
tanned, and the young woman attendant,
forgetting the rule of the establishment,
replied that they were for Mrs. Potter Pal

Mrs. Fish promptly demanded to see the

modiste came, asked the price of the gar

The mod ste treblcd the price, thinking
that Mrs. Fish would decline to purchase :

greatest curiosities in the simian line ever
seen. The point TO which his education
has been carried Is wonderful. He rejoices

Sambo eats at table with as much COM
placency as a Christian, and behaves bet
ter al his meals than some Christians In
describing his method of teaching Sambo
how to use a spoon. Mr.. Buck explained
that he placed the food in a very deep cup
Sambos natural intelligence at once show
ed him the use of a spoon, but he at first
made the mistake Of bringing his proven
der from the depth OF the cup BY means
OF the spoon and then laying II down on
the table to be grabbed in his fingers
Mr.. Buck cured Sambo of this habit by
placing a hungry monkey at the table be-
side him. When Sanbo would lay the food
down the hungry one would snatch Il
away. After while Samb0 saw the point
end foiled the thief by carrying the food
directly from the cup to his mouth by
means OF the spoon. The accomplishment
once acquired, there was no more trouble
