1t is said that the great ape Of Siam
Is in great request among the Siamese
merchants as cashiers in their count
ing houses. Vast quantities Of base
coins are known to be in circulation in
Siam and no living human being can
discriminate between the good and
bad coinage with as much accuracy AZ
these apes. These monkey cashiers
possess the faculty of distinguishing
the rude Siamese counterfeits in such
an extraordinary degree that no train
ed banker can compete with them in
their unique ayOcatiOn.
In plying his trade the ape cashier
meditatlyely puts each coin presented
to him in his mouth and tests it with
grave deliberation. From two to five
seconds is all the time this intelligent
animal requires III making up his de-
cision. If the coin is all right, IL ia
carefully deposited in the proper re-
ceptacle; If base, it is thrown violent
~ to the floor. while the coin tester
makes known his displeasure at being
presented with the counterfeit by CIV
ing vent to much angry chatter

/ weakened him both physically and
mentally. and the interest OF the farmer
and his neighbors led them to debate
/ the ACCESSIBILITY of sending Mr.. Altgeld
into the city and procuring his admis-

/ posed the wishes of his new friends on
! this point, and, fearing they would
send him away without his consent. re-
solved to 60 away himself. He quit
the farmhouse late one night, and some
weeks later appeared on the streets Of
/ St Joseph, Mo. He had tramped the
entire distance. His clothes were in
tatters, and in place Of shoes he had
/ his feet bound up in rags, his shoes
/ having given out on the tramp. Thus
att.red he started out to get s.tua-
/ ton.
From place to place Mr.. Altgeld went
! in search of employment, and man after
man heard his hard-luck story without
offering him any encouragement. After
putting in week at this discouraging
work young Altgeld arrived at the con
cluslon that he must move further on.
Again he started on the tramp, and
| finally, in Andrew county, he obtained
work on the farm of Henry Mueller,
who gave him his lodgings for his la
Dor. He chopped wood all the first
morning of his stay, and at noon sat
down to rest and told of his troubles
and travels. Mueller became interest
ed, and was shrewd enough to discover
that there was metal Of worth In the
Young fellows makeup. His sympathy
was aroused, and he made him mem
Der of his family circle. For $40 a
month wages Altgeld worked for two
years. during which his strength re-
turned and his recovery was complete.
He bent his energies constantly to-
ward the requirement of means to the
study Of law. de tried for certificate
to teach district school, but found
that he had not knowledge enough TO
pass the required examination. Farmer
Mueller and David Rea, afterward a
member of Congress, fixed it 50 Altgeld
got certificate. and he also got a
school that paid him $25 per month.
Judge Rea loaned young Altgeld law
books and after the days work he
would sit down at night to store his
mind with the knowledge that was to
arm him for battle with the world. In
few months he became so tremen-
dously earnest that Rea took him into
his office, where Altgeld read law for
some time.
From that period the determined Ger

KAISEr AS A SPORTSMAN.
Is an Enthusiastic Hunter and Yachts
man and Lover of Tennis

The German emperor is the first
monarch of this country who takes an
Intense interest in sports. Some years
ago the kaiser uttered the words "our
future lies on the water" This cate
gorical sentence was and had pure,
ly political and economic bearing
which spread through the world
All kinds of water sports are greatly
encouraged by the kaiser The Ber-
liners cannot imagine n regatta ut
Grunau without having the kaiser
there. What is said of the Grunau re-
gatta is equally true of the Keller
week and of other north German re-
gattas. If all of these have become in

of the kaiser. The ordering of yacht
In America Is only an instance of the

His interest in automobilism, how
ever, is of recent date He is an en-
thusiaStic chauffeur and has ordered a
siXteen-horse-power Mercedes coach.
Neither the turf nor bicycle have
ever attracted the kaiser. 1t is an
open secret that while his uncle on
the English throne takes an interest
in racing, the kaiser cares little about
the turf and visits the race track al
Hoppegartop but once year on the
so-called army day.
All those who have met the German
kaiser says the Berlin correspondent
of the New York Commercial Adver
tiser, be they Americans or those OF
other nationalitieS, are charmed by
his attractive personality. The mos
recent expression of this is by CoJue
lin, the great French comedian, who
was received in audience by the kaiser
at the sChloss in Berlin during his re
cent engagement here. Count Hoch

ters, accompanied the great actor. The

His Love Suit Rejected.
About this time there entered. for the
first time. as far as is known. the Gle
ment of romance into Mr.. Altgeld's life
One day, while in Savannah. Mo. he
met Miss Anna Rohrer, daughter of
George Rohrer, the President of the
State Bank of Savannah, and one OF
the wealthiest men of the town. TO
the young lawyer the girl appeared the
incarnation of his ideals, the realiza.
tion of his dreams of womanhood. and
1t seemed that a rosy world of bright
possibilities had suddenly been dis
closed to him. With characteristic de
cision he set to work to win her. His
suit did not prosper, however, and the
girls father at last gave him to under
stand that his visits to their home must
cease.
This was a hard blow, not only to
the affections but to the pride of Alt
geld. and for the first time in his life
he found himself face to face with an
obstacle which he could not surmount.
Never did he lose sight of his intent.
ana later, when the situation became
less strained. he visited Miss Rohrcr
again. He made formal proposal of
marriage but was refused by the young
woman. in obedience to the wishes of
her father.
He at once made an effort to get away
from Savannah, although he had served
but six months of his two years term
SIS prosecuting attorney of Andrew
County. He made arrangements to
that end, and soon sold his law library
for 500 and the prosecuting attorney
of Andrew County left for Chicago,
where he practiced law and where his
subsequent career is familiar history.
Miss Rohrer. who was one of the
brightest as well as prettiest girls in
Andrew County, in the meantime mar
ried the man of her fathers choice, the
cashier of Rohrer's bank. He lived
recklessly, and finally died, leaving the
wife poverty-stricken and with five
children. A few years ago she appeal
ed to Mr.. Altgeld to send her and the
children to some friends in Syracuse.
n. Y, and he responded She is dead
now, and Mr.. Altgeld later made a
contribution for the support of her chill
dren.

Ration, Oct 3l.-Delegate b. S. Rodey

has accon? pa MED him on his campaign
tour throI oIghout the territory during
the past two weeks, passed through
this town today en- route to Las Vegas,
where they will address a Republican
rally tonight. There was great crowd
at the depot and Mr.. Rodey addressed
very enthusiastic meeting in a well
received and eloquent speech. Mr..
Roo ey's campaign tour has been con-
tin Gus ovation and it might be said
COZ tinued convincing Grafton. The lar
ges and most enthusiastic political
meetings held We're those attended by
Messrs. Rodey and Martin at the towns
of Lincoln, Nogal Alamogordo, Santa
Rosa, Puerto de Luna and Clayton dur
ing the week. The chances for Repub-
lican success throughout the section
which Messrs. Rodey and Martin trav-
eled have greatly increased and are be-
coming better right along and in fact
indicate great Republican victory.
The Rodey meeting at Las Vegas to-
night promises to be a big affair and
one that will make votes for the entire

A CAMPAIGN LIE.
No Truth whatever In the Report That \. C. KInseI
Has Withdrawn as the Republican Candidate
fnr NheYlN

The enemies of H. c. Kinsell who Is
the Republican candidate for sheriff Of
this county, are circulating throughout
the county the report that he has with
drawn from the Republican ticket
nominated on Monday last as the cam
didate for that position. This is abso-
lutely and unqualifiedly untrue and a
lie conceived, started and circulated to
injure him and the Republican ticket.
Not only has no candidate on the Re-
publican ticket withdrawn, but quite
the reverse. Every man thereon Is
strongly, loyally and energetically sup
porting the entire ticket. The candi-
dates are working throughout the
county each and all for Republican
success and for the victory of every
name on the Republican ticket No
citizen and especially no Republican
voter should be caught mapping by the
campaign lies now being circulated by
interested persons for their own bene-
fit and to the injury Of this ticket.
AS far as the so-called Independent
Republican ticket Is concerned; 1t
amounts to but little. The true Re-
publicans are withdrawing from 1t
steadily and have no connection with
it. OF course, ther are some men who
will jump anywhere for the sake of Of
flee; these are found in every commun-
ity and a few of them have gathered
and made up the so-called Independ-
ent ticket. 1t stands no earthly show
of success and the voters ought not to
recognize it in any way or shape.
