It seems that Secretary Hay was

not only want better treatment for the

they want those who come 10 this

From Baroda comes a wonderful
story of a monkeys sagacity, says the
London Express. A wild langur mon
key in the cantonment had been maui
ed by a dog. After it had got free
this intelligent simian made its way TO
the hospital grounds, a quarter of a
mile distant. Here it rested in a tree
until evening.
At p. m, seeing the coast clear it
quietly came down and went straight
into the hospital where, without any
further hesitation, it took possession
of a vacant bed.
The hospital assistant tried to turn it
out, but it was of no use: and as he
could find no rule providing for the
admission of monkey patients. met the
case by having the bed with the mon
key on it removed out to the veranda.
The following morning the medical Off
GER, on his visit to the hospital. found
that the poor animal had been badly
bitten. He ordered some laudanum to
be put into its drinking water in order
to relieve its suffering. The animal
drank it readily.
In the evening the doctor took a
lady and gentleman to see the monkey,
and they were simply astonished at
the manner in which it was making
gestures with its hands as if beckon-
ing to the medical officer.
The monkey seemed to realize it was
being cared for, as whenever food or
water was given to it, it quietly lifted
up one of its hands and placed it gent
ly on the giver's. with look as much
ds to say, We'll, it is so good of YOU .
The bearing of the animal in all it's
actions was that of a very old sick
man. Unfortunately it died.

ONLY GOVERNMENT BONDS.

An effort has been made 10 influence
the Secretary Of the Treasury to take
the view that under the law other Sc
curity than government bonds can be
accepted by him for public money
placed in government repositories. IN
our dispatches yesterday it was stated
that the Secretary had taken the posi-
ton that only government bonds would
be accepted.
No doubt it was hoped in many
quarters that other security would be
acceptable. II is a very difficult mat
ter to get government bonds at rea-
sonable prices. Indeed very few bonds
Of that character are for sale. There
is a vast amount Of money in the
treasury and there is a dearth of
money in the money centers. IN New
York this week money has been COM
handing as much as 20 per cent
There are bonds that are pretty
nearly as good as government bonds.
They are SO good that life insurance
companies invest in them in prefer
ence to government bonds, not be-
cause they are better, put because tney
are preferable at the prices they COM
mand. Savings banks invest in them
and investors generally regard them
as being in every respect a frst-class
security. Still, it is probable that if
the bars were let down there would
be an immense pressure, probably with
political influence behind it, to get the
government to accept security not
frst-class in all respects. Therefore,
Secretary Shaw is probably right in
sticking to government bonds as Sc
curity for government deposits, but
there ought to be some way Of getting
money out of the treasury when there
is a vast accumulation of it there and
a great dearth of it throughout the
country, or at least in the money. CEN

Secretary Wilson, who is weak on
geography and hair trigger of speech,
has secured an appropriation of $4,000
from Congress for the purpose of max
ing experiments in the raising of silk
worms and the production of raw silk,
says the&Nichita Eagle.
Kansas experience with the silk
worm proved several things. Among
others. that the silk worm would pass
a mulberry tree by to eat himself cross
eyed on Usage oranges leaves; that he
was as a Poland China hog in cholera
times, and that he demanded as much
attention as a teething baby in sum-
mer.
At first there were visions of for
tunes in every township, and ideas of
forcing France into bankruptcy be-
came general throughout Kansas But
by the time eight thousand individual
kansans had crawIed out of bed at
midnight to roll French worm over
on his back and feel OF his pulse, the
anti-silk worm movement in Kansas
grew quite vigorous, and the silk worm
propaganda, so far as this state was
concerned, curled up like caterpillar
and died.
This isn't saying the silk industry
couldn't be made to succeed in Kan
sas. II is saying that the Kansan isn't
built on the French peasant model. We
are not the worm kind. Our style is
more. in the line of a good. substantial
Poland China hog, damned so full of
corn from the "semi-arid regions that
his fat has shut his eyes and his kinky
tail has disappeared in a dimple.

Getting Close to II.

81 happened to be in a Vermont
town for four or five days three years
age" said the stove agent, according
to the Detroit Free Press, land on the
evening of my arrival two of the old
settlers who were hanging out at the
tavern began to badger each other to
trade watches. Both time pieces were
Of silver and old and battered. but the
interest was the same as if the fate OF
the state hung in the balance. No
trade was effected that evening, and
they met again next night In fact.
they talked trade every night of my
stay and when 1 had to depart they
were still talking.
'Silas, one would say. L amt
claimin that this is the best watch in
Vermont, but what I want you to IN
derstand is that it hasn't lost minuts
in thirty years
That may be, JOEL the other would
reply, but mine beats it for historical
interest. You know, a son of Cen
eral Putnam used to carry this watch
Gen. Putnam was a mighty brave
man
"'And so was his SON.

THE PIous FUND CLAIM.

According to the statement made by
President Diaz in his message to the
Mexican Congress on Wednesday, an
account of which was published in our
dispatches yesterday, there is no
ground for the claim against Mexico
known as the Pious Fund claim. The
claim is now being considered by the
arbitration court at The Hague. 1t is
the first case brought before that tri-
bunal, and for that reason, and others,
there is a great deal of interest in it.
1t is a little surprising that President
Diaz went so much into detail in re-
spect to it, in view of the fact that it
is pending before the international
court of arbitration. Perhaps, how
ever, he stated no more than appears
in the pleadings of Mexico that have
been filed in the case.
AS is QUITE generally known, the
Pious Fund claim had it's origin in gifts
made in trust in 1887 to the Jesuits.
The gifts were made by charitable per-
sons, and were to be devoted to the
establishment and support of Catholic
missions in California. In 1867 the
Spanish government expelled the Jes-
uits and seized their property, which
was afterwards administered by the
Franciscans. Mexico took charge OF
the fund when she gained her indie
pendence. and in 1912 she sold all OF
the properties and guaranteed the
Church per cent. in perpetuity on the
amount thus realized. When Califor-
MIA was ceded to the United States
Mexico stopped paying this interest.
out of this state of facts the claim
that is now before The Hague court
arose.
