MONKEYS DISLIKE NEGROES.
Apparent Simian Antipathy to the

Apparent S1mIan Ant1pathy to the
COlored Race of Humans.
Monkeys seem to have a prejudice

week l had n pet monkey at my house.
and found great deal Of pleasure in
the many curious antics Of the little
fellow. He was a whte-faced monkey,
but Of course this face had nothing to
do with the prejudice the creature had
against members of the African race.
THE first time l had occasion to no.
tice the prejudice was in a rather Wig
orous protest which the monkey made
against the vegetable boy. small,
cOal-black negro, with an oblOng head.
Whenever the boy went near the mon
keys cage the little fellow would begin
to raise Cain in more ways than one.
He would make the fiercest grmaces
imaginable, and would beat on the bars
Of the cage with his hands and cut other
curious capers. He left no doubt III
my mind with reference to the state of
his feelings. He did not like the veg
etable boy and did not want him to
come near his cage. He resorted to 4
sort Of chattering and it was some
what different from the usual chatter
of the monkey. and am certain he was
indulgng all the profanity to be found
in his swearing vocabulary. This thing
happened every time the vegetable boy
went near the monkeys cage.
I'VE have little colored girl at our
house. The monkey always made
mild protest when she went near his
cage, but he was not as loud and lusty
in his kick as he was in the case Of the
vegetable boy. 1t was this fact sup
pose, that disarmed the girl, for she
never seemed to pay much attention to
the little manifestation Of dspleasure
on the part Of the monkey. One day,
several weeks before the monkey died,
she walked up to the cage and leaned
her head against the bars. The mon
key could not stand this familiarity

the opposite side, and as nearly as he
could under the restricted conditions.

LIFE IN A SLOW TOWN
REFRESHING TO WAYFARER FROM
RUSHING CITIES.
Commercial Traveller Tells Why He
Likes to Strike the Places that Are
Old Fashioned and Behind the Times,
.and Don't Care If They Are.

Progress doesn't take effect all over
the country at once, fortunately; and
for people who cling to old fashions,
even If inconvenient, there are always
hooks and corners where such quaint
ways are still current.
Il tell you what l like" said bust
ling commercial traveller Il like to
strike one of these little old 'way-back
towns where they still have town
pumps, market houses and mule cars.
1t does a man good to get where things
are slow and behind the times-and
don't care if they are. When get to
one of these little old slow towns l
never feel like ridculing anything. No,
sir; enjoy it. l always take a drink
at every town pump | come to. ana 1t
tastes good. l tell you. The old iron
dipper is generally warped and banged
out of shape, so some water runs up
my sleeve and some runs down my
neck, but that doesn't matter. II the
dipper is gone l drink out Of my hand,
schoolboy fashion.
Then l always go through the old,
rambling market houses; they are get
ting few and far between, let ME tell
you. My children have never even seen
an old-time market house. | love to
see the battered wooden stalls, heaped
high with good, fresh fruits and vege-
tables; these little old towns always
have fine markets. The butcher blocks,
too. look pleasant to my eye; and 1t is
a treat to see the good meats and the
big crooks Of real country sausage. You
can't beat sausage made by these
butchers, who learned to make sausage
in the old country and have been max
ing 1t for forty or fifty years.
But the mule cars! l declare 1t Is a
valuable rest cure to ride on mule car
these days. The other day rode on
one in little town. The floor was COW
cred with sawdust and the driver
couldn't change a dollar. At the bank
a clerk came out and sent pair Of big
blank books uptown to business firm
and the driver got off and delivered
them. While he was gone l got off,
drank at pump and got on again.

woman came out and told the driver
that next trip she would send her
washing uptown by him. and he said
that was all right. At the end Of the
line he asked me to please watch the
mules as he had to go into the middle
of the next block to deliver box of
candy to a girl. He said he always
held the car on night trips for young
men who We're taking girls home from
Il dance; they would take them up to
their front doors, of course, and the
car would wait until the boys ran back
and jumped on again.
Yes, that's the kind of thing like"
said the commercial traveller. according
to the Detroit Free Press. I'VE all live
too fast. Half my brain is paralyzed
and the other half is softened by hav-
ing to hustle all the time Give me

THE TRIUMPH OF WOMAN.

GO HE feminine danger. it seems, is
threatening the modern man, and
he is revolving. Woman is get
ting to be one too much for him. The
most recent protest against her accu
mulative pressure has come in nerv-
Gus sputter from one Of our university
men, who have expressed their inten-
ton to debar the girl students Of a
sister college from the swimming pool
where they themselves wish to disport
exclusively. This is only an internal
tempest in a collegiate teapot, but, like
straws, it shows which way the wind
blows. 1t is not long since Prof. Mum
sterberg of Harvard gave vent to his
own dismal masculine forebodings in
an able magazine article. in which he
not only gravely pointed out the i'm
pending dangers to the race involved in
the Over-cultivation Of our women. but
the still direr peril Of the possible fem
imitation Of our entire spiritual entity
as nation. This has a certain sound
not remote from the humorous. The
idea that the American man in conced
ing many Of the liberties of modern life
to woman has made Of her a Franken-
stein who may not only wear upon his
nerves as superior tyrant, but may
in time turn the course of nature and
fashion him after her own image, is
highly entertaining. The chief flaw in
the proposition seems to lie in the con-
ception of woman's nature. These fear
full gentlemen ought to be assured that
modern woman is more faithful to her
eternal type than they fancy her to be;
that she has the same fatal weaknesses
Of the heart which have been peculiar
to her sex from time immemorial that
her credulity, her passion for self-sac
rifice, her elaborate conscience, her gift
for idealiZation and turning the sordid
ness Of life into golden dreams. through
which her steps wander rather help
lessly at times-all these qualities rem
der her and will continue to render her
easily manageable by the superior race
of man. Then why should our men
tilt, like Don QuiXote, at a windmill?
Let them be assured that there is no
danger; that. to paraphrase Werther,
woman will do nothing for to hurt

BROTHERHOOD.

Dream Of the long, long ages,
Dream of the wide, wide world:
What myriads have died for thee,
What countless Gags unfurled.
Across those deathless centuries.
Wherever man has trod,
To him has come Il dream Of hope.
AS came the breath of God.
The ax-blow of the pioneer.
The sailors CHANGING keel.
The burning words of eloquence,
The; soldiers front of STEEL
New armies march, new nations rise
New banners CLINT and gleam-
The very worlds rcvolve in space,
And answer to dream.
That star the watchful shepherds saw
Has never yet grown dim,
Each age has heard the angels sing
Their joyous Advent hymn,
And ever the fateful morrow
Has dawned in hope and cheer,
Born with each lisping birth-cry,
Part of each farewell tear.
And this is the one, one heritage
That holds us in its grasp,
The warm fingers of the present
In the hand-clasp Of the past.
The races halt in wonder
Where their old-time fathers trod,
And one and all the sons of men
In hoping face their God.
