A MONKEYS JOKE.
1t Gave Him a Good Dinner, While
1t Startled the Cook.

I remember in a description of In
dia or Ceylon some forty years ago a
story of an Englishman who had a
monkey. Look ing out of bis window
one day. he saw his cook getting a
fowl ready for boiling. while the mon
key lay on the ground shamming
death. and q party of crows stood at a
little distance divided between the de-
sire for the kitchen offal and the fear
Of the possibly shamming monkey.
One crow more adventurous than the
rest came within the magic distance
and was instantly in the clutch of the
monkey. At the same moment the
cook. having finished trusting the fowl,
put 1t into the pot and went away.
The monkey plucked his crow as he
had just seen the cook pluck the fowl.
took the fowl out of the pot. put the
crow In and retired with his exchange.
When the cook came back and saw the
fowl left preparing for his masters
luncheon turned black he was. as may
5e supposed, struck black with terror
