MONKEYS IN MALABAR
WORK THE PUNkAH FAN.

Monkeys are more than pets in some
parts of the world. At Malabar. India,
they are taught to work and have ac-
-tually made themselves almost indis-
pensable in the homes Of the wealthy.
The Malabar monkey is Of the fine spe-
cies known as the langur. It is very
warm in Malabar, and there IL fan
called the punkah which used to be
kept in motion by a slave. It required
slave to work each punkah, but now
every punkah in Malabar Is worked by
moakey. It was an English onicer
who conceived the idea Of making the
langur work in that manner. The fan
is a movable frame covered with can
vas and suspended from the ceiling.
The motion is caused by pulling a cord.
The officer tied the hands Of the langur
to one of the cords and then by means
Of another cord put the machine In mo-
ton. OF course the monkeys hand
went up and down. and the animal
wondered what kind of game was
being played. Then the officer patted
it's head and fed it with sweetmeats till
the langur thought it fine fun to work
the runkah. The experiment was sue
cessful, and now thousands of mon
keys are in harness.

err, arrested by the police last even

the murder of his father, mother, sis

with having set fire to the home after
ward, for the purpose of concealing the
crime.
The arrest came Immediately afte,
Weber had left the witness stand al
the inquest. The young man had an
swered the questions put to him by the
coroner with reluctance.
Stories current here link Weber to
other crimes. 1t is said that his de-
scription closely tallies with that of
the robber who recently held up the
local bank.
The theory In the Weber murder
case is that the murderer shot the
father first. Then, as the sister APP
peared In the hall she was also shot.
When the mother, seeing what had
been done, screamed and started to
flee, a bullet overlook her. She con-
tinued across the room and took down
the telephone receiver to call for help,
when she received the second shot,
which penetrated the body just under
the left arm. The child being the only
one left, the murderer struck him on
the head.
The operator at the central telephone
office says the line the Weber residence
is on showed busy" about half hour
before the fire was discovered.
Young Weber yesterday had moth
ing to say beyond that he had good
nights rest. No effort has been made
as yet to get him out.
1t Is recalled that after the daring
robbery of the bank In the middle of
the day the bandit drove rapidly down
the road leading toward Newcastle for
half a mile and left the rig and took
to the hills. AT this time Z. S. Palm
er started in pursuit. Upon reaching
the spot where the buggy was aban-
doned he noticed a man climbing the
hill on the opposite side of the road
from that which the robber was sup
posed to have taken. Upon overtaking
the man he found him to be Adolph
Weber. julius Weber missed one If his
home made money bags about this
time, which tailed very closely with
the one used by the man who held up
the bank.

AN OBJECT LESSON.
In a Restaurant,

| A physician puts the query: Have
you never noticed in any large restau
rant at lunch or dinner time the large
number of hearty, vigorous old men at
! the tables; men whose ages run from
sixty to eighty years; many of them
bald and perhaps gray, but none of
| them feeble or senile?
| Perhaps the spectacle is so common
as to have escaped your observation or
comment, but nevertheless it is an OBJ
, iect lesson which means something.
| II you will notice what these hearty
old fellows are eating, you will observe
that they are not munching bran
crackers nor gingerly picking their way
thru a menu card of new tangled
health foods; on the contrary they
seem to prefer a Juicy roast Of beef, a
properly turned loin of mutton. and
even the deadly broiled lobster is not
altogether ignored.
The point of all this is that a vigor-
Gus old age depends upon good dtges-
ton and plenty Of wholesome food and
not upon dieting and an endeavor to
live upon bran crackers.
There is a certain class of food
cranks who seem to believe that meat,
coffee and many other good things are
rank poisons, but these cadaverous,
sickly looking individuals are q walk
ing condemnation Of their own theor-
les.
The matter in a. nutshell Is that II
the stomach secretes the natural di-
gestive juices in sufficient quality any
wholesome food will be promptly di-
gested; IL the stomach does not do so
and certain foods cause distress, one or
two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets af-
ter each meal will remove all difficulty
because they supply just what every
weak stomach lacks, pepsn, hydro
chloric acid. diastase and nux.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not
act upon the bowels and In fact are not
strictly a medicine, as they act almost
entirely upon the food eaten, digesting
1t thoroughly and thus giving the
stomach much needed rest and an
appetite for the next meal.
OF people who travel. nine out Of
ten use Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets,
knowing them to be perfectly safe to
use at any time and also having found
out by experience that they are
safeguard against Indigestion in any
form. and eating as they have to, at
all hours and all kinds of food, the
travelling public for years have pinned
their faith to Stuart's Tablets.
All druggists sell them at so cents
for full sized packages and any drug
gist from Maine to California, if his
opinion were asked. will say that
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the most
popular and successful remedy for any
stomach trouble.

you whistle for it to come and get a fly

"Telaoirl EXCHANGE"

An ingenious New Yorker has evolv-
ed clever plan for combining the
business advantages of a telephone
with those of a stenographer and has
opened a "telagirl" exchange, the first
Of the sort in this or any other land. 1t
Is the latest and newest method or
meeting the demand for handling
business quickly. Its promoters say it
will revolutlonize present business
methods. 1t Is proposition in CEN
tralization, and in that it is in har-
mony with the dominant idea in all
other lines Of industry. The "telagirl'
exchange is a new business institution
with a telephone exchange and private
system of its own and half q dozen
competent and rapid stenographers
waiting. 1t was planned for the pur-
pose of having stenographers who
could take dictation over the telephone,
and thus the half dozen telephoners
would take care of the morning cor
respondence of forty business men all
over the city. This is how 1T works:
When you become subscriber to the
exchange a private telephone Is In
stalled on your desk. You go to your
Office in the morning, open and read
your mall smoke cigar and get ready
to dictate your letters. You take down
your telephone receiver and are at
once Connected with the "telagirl" ex-
change. The operator connects you
with the telephone at the desk Of one
of the stenographers. She claps an
operators head telephone on, seizes
pencil and notebook and tells you to go
ahead. You may be two blocks away
from her, or mile, for that matter.
When you get thru she writes out the
letters on your private stationery,
which you keep in quantity at the
"telagirl" office and an hour later

Was dignified and grave.

Their "diggings" in a cave.

We call the age of stone.
But such the skeptic feeling Of
Our scientific age
That people were incredulouS
About that speaking page.
They thought the drawings rescued
from
Those dusty cavern heaps
Were by some ancient bard who drew
Pre-"Prehistoric Peeps"
But mammoths have been lately found
Extremely well preserved;
They show that ancient artists from
The truth had never swerved.
The hairy mammoth, frozen hard,
In ice securely packed,
Reveals the art of early man
AS quite sober fact.
When coming races dig and bring
Our modern art to view,
We hope it may be equally
With mammoth pictures true.
