VICTIM OF sIMIAN sJEALOUsY.
Talented Monkey Died Because
Stunned by His EnviOus Fellows.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
All that Borax, the little pink-eyed mon
key wanted of his fellows In the Lincoln
Park Zoo was kind treatment, and when
they turned their backs on him and ignored
the inoffensive creature altogether he got
sick and sulked in the darkest corner OF the
cage. The keepers had never witnessed
such a strange manifestation Of feeling akin
to human among the animals, and did not
worry about Borax. The OstraciSm imposed
on him by his erstwhile companions made
Borax sick. and he refused nourishment.
Sunday morning the little animal died, and
his long tailed playmates of two weeks ago,
unforgiving even in the face of death, re-
fused to show the slightest sign Of sorrow
when he was carried away and buried.
The circumstances of Borax's death were
not known to the thousands who visited the
animal reservation. They found the mon
keys in new cages, and when something
was said about a demise in the colony they
attributed 1t to an accident attendant upon
moving. There was one less simian to be
bribed into a clever acrobatic feat with a
handful Of peanuts, but the demand was not
lessened through the absence Of the dead
animal
Borax was the cleverest performer Of all
the monkeys. and his skill led to his fate.
He handicapped his fellows by his previous
Aoi nc Cdilo 1TOIH d CIRCUS where
he got bun II he rode a spirited greyhound
around the track without losing his seat and
whipping If his performance did not suit
the trainer. Borax's life at the Lincoln
Park Zoo had promise Of happier days. The
first Sunday he performed he got as many
peanuts as all the rest Of the monkeys COM
bined. but Borax was not selfish and at
tempted to divide his spoils The simian's
generosity was regarded as an attempt to
lord 1t over the rest, and he was not
thanked.
After months stay at Lincoln Park b.
rax apparently wished he had never left
the circus though the bun was frequently
stale and the beating a severe one There
he was on good terms with the greyhound
and the savage bull terrier that wouldn't
the least show Of civility. Borax did his
best to furnish amusement to the crowd,
but would not accept the rewards. After
dark his cage companions would appro-
pirate their deSpiSed comrades emoluments
though they made unkind remarks about
him.
You can't tell me that the pink-eyed fell
low didn't die Of grief said one of the
keepers yesterday. TT was a plain case Of
getting shut out in the cold He wanted to
be the good fellow with the crowd, but
they wouldn't stand for It. It Is just like
men, anyhow. If they see chap succeed
Ing they begin talking bad about him. Bo-
rax wasn't accustomed to that sort of a
thing, and 1t broke him all I'D. 1 could see
that he could not live through 1t. He didn't
see any chance Of getting back to the cir
Gus or another job, SO he went back in the
cage and starved himself to death. That
monkey was more sentimental than many
a human being"

A Painful Rebuff.

From the Chicago Chronicle.
She was a bright, vivacious suburban girl,
about eighteen years old. She was almost
viciously opposed to young men who try to
begin fiirtations with young women. In
short, she was from Kenwood. He lived on
the South Side. and found his way home
evenings, as also did the young woman, by
the way Of the Illinois Central. He was
only twenty, and not an habitual fiirt, but
he was taking his first toddling steps into
the dangerous and unknown.
The youth had seen the young woman
several tunes the train. and once he
cleared his throat and raised his hat as she
passed him on her way out of the train at
her station. He wondered whether 1t was
the slackening speed of the cars a desire
to get better view of his face which made
her half pause almost in front Of him. After
that day he longed for another opportunity
to make further explorations and advance
his picket lines. At last the blessed oppor-
tunfty arrived. One evening he found the
young woman sitting by herself the
train, which was Just about to pull out Of
the Randolph street station. He made for
the vacant place beside her with the speed

Heavens, how delightfully."- easyI' he
thought to himself. His head fairly spun
at this encouragement. He must go in now
to win. He must strike while the iron was
hot. But In his delirium Of joy he could think
of nothing to say; but he must say some
thing or the young woman would think she
had wasted her encouragement on unpro-
ductive soil. She would be disguised with
her lack Of Judgment In giving such
weakling chance. Precipitation was stand
ing out on the young mans brow, when,
grasping at straw like a drowning man.
he turned to the young woman and ex-
claimed in hating tones:
ITS a pleasant evening""
The young woman turned upon him with
a peculiar kind of smile that nearly frozs
him to the seat and said: Does 90 like to
wide on the choo-choo cars? Isn't 90
afwaid to wide all by ooself?"
The next second the seat at the side of
the young woman was vacant and the
young man was disappearing through the
rear door OF the car.
