they would not have their colds, and
that would be something, if one is to

so numerous is that very many people

cushions three points.
He submitted the game to Fred

knew, an entirely new game. lie also

game for those trying TO learn diiIicnit

possible number of points TO he made IN

how eight cushions might be made be-

An explanation of the origin of stories
which attribute to monkeys the power
of throwing stones may be found in
the account of their habits given by
trained and competent observers. Sir
James Brooke says, with reference to
The orangs, chat he never observed the
slightest attempt at deferfce, and the
wood which sometimes ratified about
his ears was broken by their weight,
and not thrown, as some persons re-
present"
Mr.. Wallace. also talking of the
orang. declares that he has seen them
throw down branches when pursued.
1T is true that he does not throw them
at persons, but casts them down verti-
cally: for it is evident that a borsh
cannot be thrown to any distance from

Political events in this state during
the last few years bear out The OBJ
serve as to the fact stated in its
moral" The success of the fusion
party in 1894 and in 1896 was due to the
desertion of the democratic party by
many who heretofore had been the
most rabid of rabid democrats-that
cal principle of absolute obedience to
the party leaders and convention ma
nipulators. Vote for the devil if the
party convention dominates him-that
was their cry until they found them
selves being left off of tickets and no
longer in control of conventions. Then
they suddenly found the party was in
need of reformation. and the only way
to reform 1t was to go over to the
enemy under promise of office. The
men VINO try within the party to reform
what they think are abuses in the party
and claim the right and have the
courage to criticise and oppose within
party lines actions and proceedings
which they honestly conceive are wrong
are never the men who disrupt that
party. There are in the republican
party today many men who a few
years ago were the most loud-mouthed
denunciators of that class OF. demo-
Gratis who differed with them as to the
extent to which certain class Of party
action Should he carried and who
urged to the point of folly the prin-
ciple of implicit obedience to party ac-
ton as represented by conventions no
matter how packed" or unfairly held.
The men they thus charged with trea-
son to the party are still within Its
ranks, battling for its success. but still
claiming and exercising the right to
criticise party leaders and party meas
ures when in their judgment sucn
criticism is for the good of the party.
This filing away of letters for posi-
BILE future occasion. especially by a
newspaper, is a mighty good plan to
follow. The Messenger has some whose
