Kobo Daishi is a Japanese saint. Once
while in China he carved an image of him

hoated all the way to Japan, where it was
caught in the net of a fisherman. When the
fisherman found what he had caught he

many miracles that soon people from all the
coast made long pilgrimages on foot 20

on the rod, and from the letter box that
bore the corresponding number took

whether his prayer was answered and what
his future fortunes might be. Those of the
pilgrims who wished TO pass beyond the
prayer tables and draw nearer to the shrine
left their sandals with busy young men,
who checked the shoes with large wooden
tablets. Rid of their sandals, the pilgrims
were free to walk upon the mats before the
shrine. Those who wished to smoke did so.
Those who had brought their children al
lowed them TO run off with the other chill
dren and play hide-and-seek around the
altar. In spite of the incense, the dim light,
the golden images, it was difficult to realize
that one was in a place of worship. The
copper coins echoed from the coffin-like
troughs or were smashed violently against
the shrine, paper prayers wrapped around
other coins hurtled through the air like
shuttlecocks, and the children's voices al
they played hide-and-seek rang delightedly,
and the peremptory clapping of hands as
each pilgrim endeavored to attract the at
tention of the saint to his own particular
prayer was as incessant as il was insistent.
And in the moat around the temple great
goldfish, when the children clapped their
hands, rose out of the Vastly deep and
leaped into the air for sugar cookies.

SURPRISING EXPLOITS OF
TWO ENGLISH MONKEYS
Consul ii" Eats with Knife and
Fork, and Enjoys an After
Dinner Smoke Hugely.
"BOBBO" SITS AT TABLE

LONDON, April 2e.-Consul II. a high
caste Bornean chimpanzee, who rivals the
clever antics of the late Consul /, may
one day in the near future delight audi
ences in this country At present he is
staying at Philadelphia. and he can do
everything but talk. Although quite
baby, being only one year old. he has been
taught to sit up like a Christian when at
table to eat with a knife and fork having
first decorously tucked his napkin under
his chin, to drink from a cup. remember
his table manners and keep his feet under
the tab instead of or 1t, as uncultivated
monkeys usually do. and to act as little
like his ancestors OF the Bornean jungle
and as much like a well-behaved child as
the most exacting could wish.
Consul has only one bad habit-he likes
his after-dinner smoke. Ii is a sight to see
this little monkey. after finishing his re-
past, gravely wipe his mouth on the nap

chair in which he sits at the table, settle

IL has come TO be considered a regular
part of the days doings with Consul III.
Perhaps the most interesting OF Consuls
accomplishments rs his ability TO hold
pen and write a letter in some mysterious
caligraphy of his own 1t is only necessary
TO place pencil and paper In front OF the
high chair in which Consul is accustomed
to sit for him to know what is expected or
him.
Consul has one accomplishment that is
useful-he can polish shoes. When the
owner of the animal places his foot on the
little box that Consul uses as a rest, the

and then diligently polishes away at IL un-
til the shoe shines again. Then he viii

away and retire with his wealth. The
pennies he stores away in box provided
for the purpose. From the jealous watch
he keeps on it, ii is evident he knows that
some unusual value attaches TO the jung
ling contents. No dirty boy Is Consul III.
He washes himself with soap and water,
dries his head on a towel like any we'll

and coat without the assistance OF his
owner.
