the storm at Galveston all right, save
a. cash in the head. a black eye. a
mashed nose and a sprained arm and
leg, says that on the night of the storm

A Monkeys Parachute.

Just as the matinee was over at the
Gentry circus, at Thirty-seventh street
and Indiana avenue, the large African
monkey, China, broke loose from his
chain and escaped into the crowd that
thronged the menagerie. A small chiI
with a bright colored pa-asol, attracted
the simian. 1t jerked the sunshade
from the little cne's hands n ran from
the tent, with a large crowd of small
boys shouting and yelling behind him.
His course lay south alongside the
tents Until he reached the group OF flats
on Indiana avenue and Thfrty-seventh
place. Running to the rear OF these,
still clutching the sunshade, he made
his way to the top floor over the back
stairway and galleries. The crowd or
boys followed up the stairs, hooting
and yelling, leaving each tenant as
they passed from floor to floor IN a
panic
Gentry's keeper made several at
tempts to capture the monkey on the
lower floors, but the animal ran from
one gallery to another until hna!ly
cornered at the top. Then, with a grim
determination to resist capture to the
last, he jumped from he building, still
holding the sunshade. The parasol
opened and the animal made beauu-
full parachute descent to the ground.
He was then captured by one OF his
pursuerS-Chicago Chronicle.

4 Striking Contrast
From the Jewish Messengg.)

CFrom the Jewish Messenga.)
When C. P. Huntington died, the
other day, it was hoped that the cause

1t was thought that out of a fOrtune
reaching into twenty and thirty mil
lions a few millions at least would be
devoted to philanthropic ends. The
will la been opened, and, apart from
two minor requests, not a dollar is left
TO charity.
When Baron De Hirsch died. a few
years ago, the greater part Of his
wealth was left, or destined, for char
ity and education-many millions
without distinction of creed. De
Hirsch realized, after decades of
bountiful giving, that wealth was not
a possession, but a trust, and il was
his duty and privilege to utilize his
means 10 uplift and educate the help
less, the ignorant, the Sorrow-Stricken.
The two men had much in common.
Both had he pioneer spirit, both We're
Self-reliant, reSourceful, Persistent.
Both are associated with railway de-
yelopment, to which they owed their
immense wealth. The longer Lease Of

family, but, apart from two legacies,
not a thought for the suffering, the
oppressed, the needy, the laborer. In
the will of a De HirSch there are mil
hons for human amelioration in diff
ferent parts of the globe. Could any
contrast be more striking?

Reflections ofa bachelor

Every woman tells more than she
knows and every man knows more than
he tells.
Only a few of the good die young;
the rest of them manage to get over
it without it.
A good woman is good because she
doesn't know any better, but little chill
dren are good because they don't know
any worse.
Probably the devil will punish all the
women souls by having them make
calls and then making them leave as
soon as they say, Goodbye" the first
time.
When two momen sleep together,
they always spend half the night tel
ling each other how good their hus-
bands are to them, and then go to
sleep with tears in their eyes.-New

PREDICTIONS FOR 1901
solo More,'' WHO Usually "Hfts 1t,'
Thinks There are Going TO be Lively
Times.

In his London almanac for 1900 "Old
Moore predicted more than one great
war, the assassination Of a monarch
and a terrible famine in India, and, as
all these predictions proved true.
many persons, not only in Europe, but
also in this country. have been for some
time curious to know what kind Of
predictions he would make in his alma
nae for 1901. Their curiosity can now
be satisfied, for his almanac for the
coming year has just appeared.
Here are the principal predictions in
1T: In January there will be a for
midable agitation in France n a Sc
we're attack will be made upon the re-
public.
In February and March most notable
events viii take place in h extreme
East, India will threaten to rise UP
against tn British domination.
Though there will be trouble in va
rious quarters during the entire year.
April will be a comparatively quiet
month.
In May Ireland will follow the ex-
ample of India and will rebel against
England.
In June the anarchists will again
come to the front and will give the
world much to ak about. During the
same month n young king or Spain
will be in danger from his political en-
emies, and he is cautioned to guard
against them.
July will be a month of catastrophies,
the whole world being threatened at
this time with misfortunes OF various
kinds. Those who are planning to take
a journey during this month will do
well to remain at home.
August will be comparatively quiet.
During September India will again
suffer terribly from famine.
During October the dervisheS Will
start an agitation, which may attain
formidable proportions.
In November the kingdom of Holland
will attract attention by its dangerous
and novel diplomatic policy, and the
statesmen in the various foreign offices
will have to exercise all their skill II
they would avoid a conflict.
In December there will be insured
tons, revolts and strikes in various
quarters of the globe. AS a rule they
may not be of great Importance, yet
they will occur at this time, and they
will be the striking features of the
month.
AS will be seen, "Old Moore's" pre-
dictions for 1901 are startling, to say
the least. His statement in regard tC
Holland is especially s%urious, and
many persons are puZzling their brains
to discover how this little kingdom car
ever manage to attract by
a dangerous and 10Y diplomatic
policy which will cause European
statesmen to lie awake at night.-New
