Miss Flora Shaw. the well known

was once travelling through Africa in
a bullock wagon. The sun was bias

was indescribable. She was making

self confronted with the ordeal Of q
public reception. The officials read

She sat on the edge of the bed and

Monkey Peiicemen.
In Hindustao monkeys hro made uss-
fnI, and they do police duty after q
fashion and often really assist the Do
lice In quelling disturbances or Sup
pressing riots. Sometimes these four
handed policemen act as protectors to
the weak and helpless, as this Incident
will show:
At Agra on the platform Of public
warehouse little street arab had
spread his rug In the shade OF a stack
or country produce and had Just
dropped asleep when one of the
wealthy residents strolled I'D with a
pot leopard that had learned TO accom-
Dany him In all his rambles.
A troop Of monkeys had taken post
on the opposite side OF the shed, but at
sight OF the spotted intruder the whole
gang charged along the platform and,
instantly forming a semicircle about
the little sleeper. faced the leopard with
brstling names, evidently resolved 10
defeat the suspected purpose Of his
visit.
Riding Away with the Bride.
In many Of the border counties OF

Of hundreds Of years ago are stu In

bridegroom still rides away on a foam
Ing steed with his bride behind him a.
In the good old days. The brides pro

OF being given away at the altar In tho
orthodox fashion.
