A Monkeys Sense VS.. q Dsua;:ard,s
The story goes that an italian Snowman
nee had a monkey that rode on the back
i hound while four dogs danced. One
lay the little show WAS passing thyongh y 4
,ark where there were some deer. The
'ound saw them, and, true to. his inatlnct,
% tore aiter them. Poor Mr.. Monkey was
chained to his collar, 80 he had to 90 along,
1uch as he wished not to. 'Hs chatteIet
ind screamed, but all 10 vain. The hound
tept up the chase untll the, shoWwan
,nally succeeded in stopping him andtook
ne frightened monkey of bis back. No \
.oaxtng or threatening could ever induce
he monkey to get on that dogs back
:gain. ~. ,s... ...,,,,.-,
Compare now, this smonksy's conduct
With the conduct etthe man who Is being |
:uined by strong drink. He gets drunk.
.ober5 OF, regrets his having been SO |
,eastly, VOWS he will drink NO more, and
hen goes back to his cups agtun. t.
Truly, Sam Jones was right when he said
hat, considering how some men behave,
he Darwlnian doctrine OF evolution Is
.errible reflection on tbs monkey.
We once read OF a monkey on board
hip that the sailors induced to drink
whisky until he became very drunk; but
lfter he had sobered Oh, when they brought
,ut tho bottle again he Instantly skipped
lway to the very top OF the mast, and
.oulI not be induced to come down as long
ts the bottle wns In sight. Would that
nen and boys had as much sense In this
vgard as 'monkeys.-R5liglous Telescope.
Judge Bakers Opinion OF Saloons.
Recently Judge Baker, OF the Federal
Court. indianapolis, In passing sentence
upou young man named Beeming for as.
sisting in the robbery Of a postof1ce, said:
cit Is an unpleasant thing to send an In
telllgent young man like you to the penl-
tentiary. It Is sorry thing that so. many
young men do not realize until It is too
late that the saloon leads to prison. l
doubt il there is one man out Of lfty that
[ am called upon to send to prison that
ioes not begin his career by frequenting
saloons and gambling places. II the young
men OF the country would study the prison
records OF the various penitentiarles 1t
would be to them stronger sermon than
Ill tho temperance lecturers could :everde-
liver. When you get out OF prison there
will be little hope for you unless you right
lbout fuce-turn your face from the
saloons. I think will send you to the
Torkhouse. Maybe the memory OF your
lead father aud mother, and the prayers
of your good mother, offered for you In
your CHILDHOOD, may yet make man OF
you.' ..s>
