general said, Lieutenant, ride ahead
and see If that river is fordable."
The lieutenant put spurs to his horse
and soon entered the river. A few feet
from the shore the bottom shelved of
suddenly, and the horse was soon foun-
dering in deep water. The lieutenant
disengaged himself and swan to the

staff, the horse was recaptured, and,
mounting him. the lieutenant rode back

crous for him. He burst into hearty
laugh, in which the staff joined at the

A PERSEVERiNG MONKEY.
Professor Gnrner's Story of Nellie
and the Matchbox,

and the Matchbox.
Monkeys are always happy If they
have plenty to eat ana something to
play with. Professor Il. l.. Garner, in
his Apes and Monkeys says that he
recalls no investment which ever yield
ed greater return in pleasure than a
certain little pocket match safe. which
cost % cents. He gave it to little
monkey, Nellie by name, after putting
into it a small key to make it rattle
and some bits of candy.
She ratified the box and found much
pleasure in the noise. l showed her
how to press the spring in order to
open the box. but her little black fin
gers were not strong enough to release
the spring.
However, she caught the idea and
knew that the spring was the secret
which held the box closed. When she
found that she could not open 1t with
her fingers, she tried it with her teeth.
Failing in this, she turned to the wall.
and, standing upright on the top. Of
her cage, she took the box in both
ldnuS ana STRUCK Tue spring Against
the wall until the lid flew open.
She was perfectly delighted at the
result and for the hundredth time at
least | closed the box for her to open
it again.
The next time Nellie received the
match safe she was in her cage, and
through its meshes she could not reach
the wall. She had nothing against
which to strike the spring to force 1t
open.
After looking around and striking the
box several times against the wires Of
the cage, she discovered block of
wood about six inches square. She
took this and mounted her perch. Bal
ancing the block on the perch, she held
it with the left foot, while with the
right foot she chung to the perch. With
her tail wound around the meshes of
the cage to steady herself, she care
fully adjusted the matchbox in such a
manner as to protect her fingers from
| the blow. Then she struck the spring
| against the block of wood, and the lid
| few open.
She fairly screamed with delight as
she held up the box.
