MONKEY WAS VICTIM
OF OPTICAL ILLUSION.

The pet monkey of a German professor.
having made his escape. climbed into u
tree and defied all attempts to catch him.
Well knowing the initiative habits of the
animal. his master hit on a curious plan to
regain his pet.
He looked at the monkey through an opera
glass. pointing the small end at him for
some time. and then he retired to a short
distance. leaving the opera glass on the
ground.
The initiative monkey descended from the
tree. and. taking the opera glass. gazed aft
er a similar manner. at his master, who
seemed to the deluded ape to be half a mile
distant.
The monkey. still looking through the
same end of the opera glass. supposed his
master was several hundred yards distant.
when the latter. reaching out. secured tho
chain and led the victim of an optical ill.,
sion back to his cage.

What is the matter with thee" asked
she. growing cold with fear.
He knelt down before her and. uncoverine
himself, showed her his naked back. ask
ing:
What thinkest thou?"
Dragomira shrunk away with a sharp
cry.
Then thou art"
Thy brother cried Paron.
They used every effort to try to convince
each other that it was not true: they could
not really be brother and sister; but in
vain.
There was no doubt but that they were so
related. stolen from their parents by differ
ent individuals during their childhood.
They flung themselves into each others
arms and wept bitterly.
All the night they passed in leave-taking'
At daybreak they sent to Krim Ghirai. re-
questing him to grant them an audience
which was accorded.
Then they both fell at his knees. in 81
lcnce and sorrow, 10 the surprise of the
chief.
When at length he learned the cause o!
their great trouble. he said sternly:
Then you must die, my ch!ldren!'
For that we have come to thee, To en-
treat thee to have us put 10 death. Life
is insupportable,'
LAS We are of the Christian faith. by
Christians must ye be judgedr'
So priests were called to judge the guilty
pair. who decreed that as they had sinned
unwittingly so must their punishment be
the less severe.
They must in future lead holy lives. and
must each OF them build and endow a
monastery.
In sorrow they returned separately to
their native land. and caused two monas-
teries to be erected at their cost. in the
neighborhOod of Suceava.
Darru hera mo the 1hhOt of ono Drqp n-
mira the abbess of the other monastery.
They lived to a good old age, honored
and beloved by all.
When Dragomira was at the point of
death she requested that Paron might adj
minister to her the last sacrament.
AS he kissed her pale. cold brow. his long
white beard trembled visibiy.
He survived her for the period of a year
and then departed to rejoin her in heaven.

FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.

WRITTEN FOR THE SUNDAY REPUBLIC.
The principal residence of the Tartar
Chief. Krim Ghirai, was situated at Bak-
tisisan.
Therein we've piles of Persian carpets. and
such a wealth Of gold and Of precious stones
that it fairly dazzled the eyes only to look
upon them.
The reins of his horses were jeweled. and
the stirrups g~littered with precious stones.
The horses shoes were formed of beaten
gold. the saddlebass were of the c~ostliest
material, richly embroidered.
And so bright and dazzling were all his
surroundings that when Krim Ghirai went
forth with his suite the sun hid his face,
thinking that another sun more potent than
himself was crossing the earth.
Among his chosen followers was a young
Roumanian lad whom the Chief had carried
Off from Suceava when a child during one
of his raids in Moldavia.
This youth was slim and well formed. and
his brown hair curled around his shapely
head.
But the expression of his eyes was sad
and pensive. and he often inquired of his
neighbors who he was and what was i:s
history, but no one could answer him sat
isfactorily.
1t was known that the tyrant had
slldl Hlll lIOul lIt dIllS oI Il ptduIltu
woman. whom he slew because of her APP
peals for help. but even he did not know
whether the woman were the mother or
merely the nurse of the child.
One evening this youth might be seen
standing in the courtyard OF the palace,
leaning against his beautiful Arabian horse,
which now and again rubbed its nose On
his shoulder in sign of affection.
He had been sent on a long Journey and
was now waiting the summons of krim
Gtirai. in order to state how he had sue
ceeded in his mission.
He stood lost in thought. while his eyes
we're riveted on the fountain whose waters
were glittering in the bright moonbea:ns.
Half of the palace remained IN shade
while the other half stood out clear and
distinct in the moonlight.
The young mans gaze wandered ine'ffer'
emily until 1t reached the golden bars of the
windows of the harem.
1t was recounted that many nouns were
hidden away there, and that their pGmhei
WAS ever on the increase.

There are a great many men who are so
much more of America than in it that oc-
casionally it seems proper to include them
in our list.
The interest that We take in all great
men and in their achievements IS such as
to make them seem to belong to us.
Upon Shakespeare, DIR. Johnson Adams,
Jonah and Noa we have quite as great
claim as the modern EnglishmaD has.
So it has occurred TO me to present at

ROCK ISLAND REGALIA co.
Institution Whose Popularity is Rapidly
Spreading.

There is no firm whose name is
more favorably known throughout
this section than that of the Rock
turers of all kinds of uniforms, robes,
badges, banners, swords, sword belts,
belts and caps. a speciality is made
of banner designs for labor unions,
and the labor organizations will
make no mistake in giving this de-
serving company their most hearty
support and cooperation. This com
pany has maintained a most favor
able attitude toward labor and the
union forces are never slow in rec
ognizing their friends and will aid
in every way possible to make this
company a still greater success.
Their product is certainly one de-
serving of most liberal patronage by
the unions and citizens of our cities
and the entire country. At this par
ticular time when we have opportun-
ity to place their names before thous-
ands of working men, we take adj
vantage of the opportunity to place
the name of the Rock Island Regalia
company where it we'll deserves to
be placed-foremost among our lead
ing concerns who are always to be
counted upon as friends of conserva-
tive organized labor. As Labor day
is drawing near we advise all unions
considering the purchase of banners
and badges to take the matter up at
once as we know the Rock Island
Regalia company has already sold
several banners for Labor day-Tri-
City Unionist.

praying that her words might prove
effective.
Not the Carrie of Yore.
Those who saw her here about a
year ago noticed several points of
difference which make it plain that
even Mrs. Nation is not totally i'm
pervious To the influences of travel
and association. In short, it appears
that she has abandoned, TO a marked
degree, the lines that have made her
famous. In the first place, she has
improved to the popular eye at least,
in appearance. Instead of the brown,
travel-sOiled Carrie of yore attired in
black alpaca dress and primitive
bonnet, she is now decked out in a
flowing mantle of white with cape
attachment. She wears her hair in
more becoming style and has dis
pensed with the bonnet, while her
skin is bleached through long alb
scnce from contact with Kansas wind
and sun. While there is reason to
believe that upon the occasion of her
former visit she had a real Ratchet
concealed somewhere about her APP
parel. no one who saw her yesterday
would suspect her of carrying any
thing more deadly than the Ratchet
pin with which her outer garment
was fastened at the throat.
More pronounced still was the al
iteration in her line of argument Not
once yesterday did she advise her
hearers, as when she was here before,
to go out and smash, smash, smash
Neither did she make any of her for
mer threats of violence along the
same line. To anyone of ordinary
powers of observation the Carrie of
today is not the Carrie of a year ago.
What further effect civilization will
have upon her is a matter of coniec-
ture, beyond that it will surely soon
err or later render her so common
place as to deprive her of her job as

only way for me to do was to go out
and smash. 1 have been in seven

everything that a woman can suffer,
but God has been with me and He

spoke earnestly, emphasizing her re-
marks with gesticulations in which a
closed bible she held in her hand
played prominent part. The crowd
became interested and scattering APP
plause was heard from time to time.
A party of young men near the stand
started a conversation among them

The boys departed in fine spirits
and expect a profitable as well as a

has gone into effect and the men will
spend their entire time on board the
boat, instead of going into quarters
on shore as in the past. The feature
of the tour of duty will be the three
