An Old, Story.

ln the Philippine Islands the ma
tiyes catch monkeys in such a funny
way.
The monkeys are very fond Of the
meat of cocoanuts, which grows as pleu-
tifully there as spples do in our ooun-
try. They are very lazy though about
gpawing through the outer bark, sand
will only do so when very hungry.
The natives take advantage Of their
greed aud incidence by outing small
opening through the ahell just large
enough for Mr.. Monkeys long, thin
hand to penetrate. When he once
gets inside he gets his hand full Of
delicious, dainty meat, aud his hand
is naturally wider in this act than
when it entered. Finding his hand
will not come out, the monkey scolds
aud chatters aud plainly shows his
indignation at the way he has been
trapped, but never thinks Of loosening
his hold on the cocoanut and withdraw
ing his hand as easily as he put it in.
There he stands, an angry monkey,
until the man who set the cocoanut
trap comes and takes him captive.

HARRIS SUGG IS AHEAD
Five Hundred and Forty-fiVe Votes Were Polled, Which Is About 30 Less Than the Total

The political landslides that have been prevalent throughout the country in the last few weeks seem to have struck Ensley today, resulting in a victory for Mayor N. ". Scott and most of his ticket Five hundred and forty-five votes were boiled which only lacked about 30 votes of being the total registration.
 Mayor soctt received a majority of votes over his three opponents, James Perkins, " II. zuber and A. w. Muckin- fuss.
 Owing to the heavy vote and the long tickets 1t will be or o'clock be- fore the count Is completed. At this time 450 ballots have been count ed which indicated a majority of twen- ty or twenty-five for Mayor Scott over his opponents.
 James Perkins runs next and Is closely followed by w. H. Zuber with A. w Muckinfuss not far behind.

Topeka, Kan. November 20.--(SpeciaE)- William Allen Wite, editor of the Elm poria Gazette, and well known Kansas author. was horsewhipped by woman in front of his office Thursday afternoon. The story of the affair was suppressed by White and his friends.
 Accounts differ in regard to the cause Some of them say that White has been nagging the women of the town on sthe grounds that they have been flirting pro- miscuously.
 White is very large man. and 1t is said he created great deals of anuse- ment In his attempt to shield himself from the whipping and to get away from his tormentor.
 The woman who handled the whip was. it is said, Mrs. Etta Meffort. divorced wife of Dr. l.. A. Meffort who had been referred to by by White in one of his fir tation stories.
 White, in an account of the story, which was not sent to the mail subscribers of his newspaper, says:
 "We turned and ran when we saw the formidable whip the woman carried. We realized that no gentleman can win in a sparring match with woman and be graceful about ft"e&
