Monkeys

AL well-all happy-lots
OF fun. That is the regular
report from the monkey cage
Of Barnum's Circus ever since
the keepers began dosing TIL
monkeys with SCOTS Emul-

Emulsion near the monkey
cage and the monkeys eagerly
Tapped it up from the floor.
This suggested the idea that it
might do them good. Since
then the monkeys have received
regular doses and the keepers
report very few deaths from
consumption. OF course it's
cheaper to buy SCOTS Emul-
sion than new monkeys-an
that suits the circus men.
Consumption in monkeys
and in man is the same disease.

Archibald MacLaren who was elected
president of the league during her absence
in the East had sent in her formal resig-
nation as such. Now the government of
the league is practically in the hands of

And how, reasoned the ladies yesterday,
can there be a meeting when there is no
president to call it? A bylaw would have
helped out but that like a president, was
ed yesterday, suggested that the league
decide by vote whether or not it wanted
the council to meet and decide upon a
presiding officer. Finally it was voted
that the secretary of the council call the
