A MONKEYS JOKE.

remember in u description of Cey-
Ion or India some forty years ago
story of an Englishman who had pet
monkey. out Of his window
one day, he observed his cook getting
chicken ready for broiling, while the
monkey lay on the ground shamming
death, and Il party OF crows stood at
short distance, divided between the
desire for the Kitchen oiIal and tine
fear of the possibly shamming of the
monkey. One of the crows, more ad-
venturous ths n the rest, came within
the magic distance and was instantly
in the clutch of the monkey At the
same moment the cook. having finished
dressing the chicken, put it into the
pot and went off for short time
The monkey plucked his crow as he
had just seen the cook pluck the chick
en-, took the fowl out of the pot, put
.he crow in and retired with his ex-
change. When the cook came back
and perceived the fowl left preparing
for his masters luncheon turned black
he was, as may be supposed, struck
dumb with terror at this manifest in
tervention Of the evil one

FIRE IN BATESBUR0
While no lives were lost
many valuable articles
were destroyed.

Sometime between four ard five
o'clock on Saturday afternoon little
Miss Freeda Rutlard discovered smoke
issuing from the windows and doors
of the portion of Mrs T. j. Kernaghan' 5
home now occupied by the families OF
Messrs w. w. Watson and ii a. Little
John. She at once gave the alarm and
large crowd soon collected and after
an hours bard work with buckets
loaned By NJ. j. b. Stokes, the flames
were cxtinguished' The part OF the
house on fire was that occupied by Mr..
and Mrs. Little John. Mrs Little
John was away from town on visit
and so was Mrs Watson and as MesSrs
Little John and Wateon were AT their
respective offices the house was entire
ly unoccupled. 1t is thought the fire
originated inside or behind the piano
which was placed against the wall.
All OF the Little John property was
either burnt, broken or destroyed by
water. A handsome piano, leather
upholstered chairs and inrniture of the
best make was destroyed. Mr.. Little
John estimates his loss between $500
and $4,000 do lars only partly covered
nv insurance. Mr.. Watson's loss was
in breakage from moving IN hurry
to a place Of safety.

NEWSBOYS DETECTIVES.
Watchful of the Conduct of Street Lads
Under Their Auspices.

1t is Il sad day when member of
the Toledo NewSboys' Association goes
wrong, and it is especially sad for the
boy The detective work under the
system adopted by the association is 50
thorough that the wrongdoer is quick
~ brought to cover.
A few of the new members of the
association are inclined to follow the
methods adopted by some men of get
ting rich In hurry, and when a quar-
ter or more is given, the boy is at
times tempted to run away, little real
iZing that it is next to impossible to
hide his theft. Happily, however such
cases are rare, and it is seldom n car
rier goes wrong.
\ few days ago a lady on Adams
street gave a carrier new dollar bill
for two weeks delivery of a local pa
per. The yOungster, boy of u, took
the money to get change, and did not
return. The case was at once brought
to the attention of Mr.. Gunckel. The
name of the boy could not be given,
but the style Of his hat and color of
necktie and shirt was sufficient de-
scription for the watchful eyes of the
officers of the association who were set
to work on the case.
The Executive Committee was noti-
fed, and in three days the boy was
found He was told that he must go
to the woman, apologize for what he
had done and pay her what he owed
her 1t was IA bitter dose, but it had
to be swallowed. After it was all over
the little fellow said: II am glad now
l went to the lady and Strengthened it
all up, for the stealing of that dollar
worried me so l couldn't sleep. | will
never again be dishonest"
The boy is bright lad, and the
temptation to take what did not be-
long to him grew out of evil assoca-
ton, as he said when charged with
the theft that 'other boys did It,"
Mr.. Gunckel Is determined to break
up this bad habit and is being backed
by the officers of the association and
the large per cent of the members who
realize that such an act brings dis
grace to the association. - Toledo

XIII Army by Bolts.

We may really be on the verge of
the millennium, for NJ. Emile Guar
mini has come to the conclusion that it
will soon be possible to destroy armies
by lightning. Receiving a shock from
wireless telegraph apparatus through
an umbrella, he experimental with
a Ruhmkorff coil, and found that
shocks could be transmitted through
the air with moderate currents. He
concludes that the energy of 1000
horse power, at 100000 volts, could be
concentrated by antennae so as to de-
stroy life at distance of twelve miles.
The present difficulty, which he be-
lieves will be soon overcome, is that of
controlling and directing the electric
waves.
