A funny story is told of an English
man who was in India, and who owned
monkey that was as mischievous as
most monkeys are. Looking out Of
his window one day the gentleman
saw his cook plucking a fowl prepare
tory to cooking it for dinner. On the
ground at a little distance lay the
monkey, pretending that he was dead,
while a flock of crows were hopping
about little way distant, divided be-
tween the desire for the kitchen offal
and the fear of the possibly shamming
monkey. One crow, more adventurous
than the rest, came within the magic
distance and was instantly in the
clutch of the monkey. At the same
moment the cook, having finished
trusting the fowl, put 1t into the pot
and went away.
The monkey plucked the crow as he
had Just seen the cook pluck the
fowl, took the fowl out of the pot,
put the crow in, and retired with his
exchange. When the cook came back
and saw the fowl left preparing for

about such a startling result. Mean

ST. Petersburg society is brilliant,
not only by reason Of the diamonds

owing to the splendid uniforms and
blazing decorations of its men. The
ladies' wear such diamonds as are only
seen n exhibitions or in the windows
OF a fashionable joweler. The dia-

for not only do they frequently meas

Il think l can explain it," gasped
Courtney after he had laughed to his
hearts content. You see, Lewis was
married the other day He was the
last one of his set to get married, and
his friends desired to have a little fun
with him. When Lewis received an
invitation to a wedding, he invariably
sent a mantel clock as wedding
present. Lewis and his mantel clock
got to be a standing joke among his
friends, and 1t was always looked for
ward to, and he never disappointed
them. They were all alike, and the
idea got about that he bought them
by the gross and kept them on hand
for an emergency.

sent out we got together and decided
