TIC AMERICAN Eagle 10 tHG hcSCuGs =
A. L. M. Gottschalk, the American
consul at Guayaquil. Ecuador. tells a
good story about the difficulties he
has had to keep a monkey on the con
sulate premises because of the dep
relations Of the boa constructors. The
Zig reptiles have a falling for mou-
seys, and these agile little pets must
keep a constant lookout for them. If
Jocko drops into a doze he is likely to
wake up dead"
On the occasion with which the
story deals monkeys life was saved
BY the picture Of the American eagle.
The consulate sign all over the world
is a fina reproduction Of the king Of
birds, in full color, and with outspread
wings. new sign had just been re-
ceived and was waiting on chair In
side the room. A big boa constructor
chased the house monkey across the
yard and through the open window.
Jocko was making a good race, but a
losing one. He was in the corner
quaking with fear, and very near to
deaths door, when his pursuer con-
fronted the picture Of the eagle in its
menacing attitude. A snake fears
eagles even more than It Graves mon
keys, and that particular reptile turn
ed tail and went out of the window
as quickly as if the devil was after it.
That monkey was smart monkey
and now. whenever it wants TO take a
nap. it goes to roost over the picture
Of the eagle Mexican Herald.

growers at actual cost.
The factory will employ from 90
to 100 people, men, women, boys
and girls, during SO TO 80 days each
year, and will add materially to the
wealth of the community.

lease which Mr.. Smith holds. Mr..
Smith has been conducting a good
hotel ever since he came into pos
session Of the property, the care of
the rooms and the cuisine being ex-

Mr.. Fountain would not be at

Mr.. Smith does not now know
