MONKEY HAS A WARDROBE.
Pet Of Eastern Fashionab1es In UD-
to-Date Dress In Guest Of Honor
ut . Banquet.

"Jocko," the ape that was the guest
Of honor at dinner given by Harry
Lehr at Newport, and who celebrated
this dignity by getting drunk and
throwing fruit and glasses at the
guests, has two fashionable suits Of
clothes, undergarments to match.
The suit he wore at the dinner was
Of cardinal-colored cloth, trimmed
with black braid and brass buttons,
cut like a Russian blouse, with belt.
A brown suit was also made, but this
was reserved for another occasion.
"Jocko" was driven to the tailoring
establishment of Mr.. O'Connor, at
Newport, and the tailor informed that
quired for the little animal.
The tailor was astenished. He said
that he had never done anything in
that line and Odd not care to under
take the job. He was informed that
he could name his own price If he
would make the clothes, and was final
~ persuaded to do the work. It was
a short-order job at that, for the
clothes must be made inside of three
hours.
'Jocko" was then stood up on the
cutting board and the work of TAX
ing his measure began. 1t was no easy
task and it was some time before the
figures were taken. Three hours
later the clothes were called for and
delivered, and the fit was so good that
on his owners next visit to Newport
the monkeys wardrobe is to be in
creased

A Tragedy in Her Life.


1t was announced in Minneapolis
PAPER the other day that Mrs. James
Morgan had died in the insane asy-
Inn at Topeka. Simple as this an
nouncement appeared to be, it never
theless could serve as the theme of
a story as sad and dramatic as any
thing which ever was written. In
1853, Anna Brewster, then a young
woman of "a, was married to James
Morgan in Ottawa county. In less
than a month after her marriage
and while watching her husband at
work in field, she was captured by
a band of Cheyenne Indians. AT the
same time another woman, Miss
White, was taken, and for several
months these two women were car
Tied about the country by their cap
tors, suffering all the indignities the
red men could visit upon them. In
March, 1869, they were rescued by
Gen. Custer with the Seventh cavalry
and the Nineteenth Kansas. Mrs
Morgan was mentally distressed
when she was recovered, and never
fully regained her balance, though
for more than 30 years she lived with
her husband in Ottawa county, before
becoming so bad that it was neces-
sary to take her to the: asylum

Chickens Exterminate the Pests.

This story comes from Oberlin:
Grasshoppers are appearing in con-
siderable numbers. Many farmers
claim that no damage will be done
and others say they will materially
injure corn. If the plan adopted by
some farmers was followed it would
not take long to exterminate the
pests. They raise large numbers of
chickens and turkeys and turn them
into the alfalfa fields to feed on the
insects. 1t is surprising the guam
tity of 'hoppers a good healthy tur-
key will stow away in a day.

WHAT DEMOCRATS WILL DO.
ing to Cover Up Will Be
Thoroughly Aired.

The republicans are in a mess;
they are unable to agree among
themselves on the most important
Legislation. The exposure of the
footing of the Cuban treasury to aid
the sugar trust, the bribing of Gomez
and the cruelties in the Philippines
have put them on the defensive.
With admirable audaciousness they
attempt to divert public opinion from
their own sins of omission and com
mission by charging the democrats
with attacking the army. The presi
dent sets the pace by making stump
speech at Arlington, and the great
trust-controlled daily newspapers
take up the refrain. The little or
gans edited by the postmasters give
tongue in unison.
This effort to put the democrats in
the attitude of assailing the army
will prove abortive. The common
soldier is all right, and most of the
officers from Gen. Miles dsEn. They
obey orders; that is the duty of the
soldier
The democrats do protest and will
forever protest against the issuing
and carrying out of orders to make
"a bowling wilderness" of any terri
tory under the American flag.
They protest that to kill all over
ten," to kill prisoners, to torture by
water cure or other Spanish method

in the PhiIippines.'

is not war; it is vandalism, it is not
American, it is barbarous. If not or
dered by the highest authority it
would never have been perpetrated
by American soldiers, except, per-
haps, in isolated cases.
The democrats believe in keeping
the military authority subordinate to
the civil power. No republic can exist
that does not do So The democrats
intend to investigate these cruelties
when they have the power, and punish
the guilty, however high in command.
They will investigate the expense &C
counts, both at home, in the Philip
pines and in Cuba. The transport serv-
ice and the purchase of supplies will
be investigated. They will find out
who received the large sums that have
been raised by extreme taXtion and If
the money was squandered on high
living in Cuba and elsewhere. Who was
fixed" to stay out of politics and who
was aided to stay in. What secret in
trigue set free the Hanna pets, Rath-
bone and Nicely? Why Buen Canine
was ordered by the administra ton to
come to this country to testify, when
the request of the democrats for other
witnesses was refused? A page might
be filled with other details that will
be investigated and from the amount
of evidence that has been forced to the
surface there is a vast amount behind.
To do this the democrats must elect
a majority of the next house of repre-
sentatives and this theXwill do, if the
people agree with them that the cur
tain should be raised and the truth
known.
No wonder the republicans are on
the defensive and are endeavoring to
switch the thoughts of the people
from their misdoings by claiming that
the army is being attacked. They
know, however, that it is the orders
issued to the army that is the main
point and the officers of the army, for
their own honor and reputa ton, and
the honor of the United States will
welcome the change.

A FOOLISH LIFT.

Stratford, Wis, July 2sth-William
Junemann was working with farm
er near this place last summer and
one day they got stuck with load of
grain. Mr.. Junemann says: eve had
to lift like fools and my back crack
ed and started to hurt me so that
couldn't stand it any longer. The
man I was working with took me
home and I went to bed. I saw an
advertisement of Dodd's Kidney Pills
in the paper and I sent and got one
fifty cent box. Before I had this box
used up I began to feel better and
kept on and very soon my back was
well again.
81 can't say enough for Dodd's
Kidney Pills and cannot understand
why anyone should continue to suf-
fer with backache when Dodd's Kid
ney Pills will cure it so quickly"

ABOUT THE HOUSE.

Sash curtains of green India silk are
attractive for the diuing-room.
Attractive cushion covers IN pink
art ticking are finished with a morrow
border of Powered white denim in the
daintiest patterns, and at each corner
is large white cotton tassel.
Common yellow soap, moistened
slightly and spread quickly over a
fresh mosquito bite, will, it is said,
soon relieve the singing pain. Tho
same application is good for bites Of
other insects.
Pure grape juice-a delicious and
healthful drinks as good hot as
cold. 1t should be mixed for this SER
vice half and half with hot water, with
a bit of orange or lemon peel added:
A few cloves, perhaps one to each cup
fsl, stepped with it to add to the flavor.
Bamboo paper is a sketchy, Japan
csc affair on ribbed white ground
with a frosty finish. The designs of
reeds and leaves is all in deft blue,
shading down to a sort of marine, es-
pecially at the points and veinings. It
is charming, and, like the palm leaf,
calls for muslin draperies.
A new idea for five o'clock tea is to
drop three or four whole cloves into
each cup just before pouring in the
hot tea, and leaving them there for
moment that the essential oil may be
extracted. The tea may be served with
the cloves in it, or, if one is fastidious
about it's appearance, the one cup may
be poured into another through the
silver strainer and the cloves removed,
Sliced lemon is to be used with this
tea. and the mingling of the favors is
really delicious.

The Montgomery advertiser., 1902-12-03

War last year When the young officers enter the army from West Point they probably stand above their compeers in any other military service. Every effort should be made by training, by reward of merit, by scrutiny into their careers and capacity, to keep them of the same high relative excellence drought their careers.
 The Militia System.
 The measure providing for the reorgani- zation of the militia system and for se- curing the highest efficiency in the Ma tional Guard. which has already passed the House, should receive prompt atten- tion and action. It Is of great importance that the relation of the National Guard to the militia and volunteer forces of the United States should be defined, and that in place of our present obsolete laws a practical and efficient system should be adopted.
 Provision should be made to enable the Secretary of War to keep cavalry and ar tilery horses. worn-out in long perform ance of duty. Such horses fetch but a triie when sold; and rather than turn them out to the misery awaiting them when thus disposed of, it would be bet. ter to employ them at light work around the posts. and when necessary to put them painlessly to death.
