The Verdict.

Records of the ancient city of Cor
geana. founded in 1910. better known
at the present time as York Harbor,
Me, contain many quaint and unusual
stories of the early life of the town.
At the entrance to York harbor a
bold prOmontOry known as Stage neck
extends some distance into the sea,
4rom which formerly in stormy wealth
sr a temporary light in the form of a
lantern hOisted upon an upright pole
was displayed as a warning to mari
ners.
One dark winter night a sloop was
wrecked on these rocks. \ survivor on
being questioned about the catastrophe
said:
"The vessel struck, turned over on
her side, and the skipper and another
barrel of whisky rolled overheard"
The local coroner was summoned,
and this somewhat startling verdict
was returned:
I'VE tindf that the deceased fell from
the masthead and was killed. He
rolled overheard and was drowned He
fOated ashore and fro2e to death. and
the rats eat him up alive"-Harper's

MONKEY MEAT NOT BAD.

Former Philippine Officer Says Ii Is
Quite a. Delicacy.
Il see a great hHllabaloo is made
over the sad plight of the Fourteenth
cavalry scouts who were obliged to
subsist for nineteen days on monkey
meat while out in the Moro country"
said an army officer at the war depart
mcnt. according to a Washington dis
patch to the ST. Louis ost-DiSpatch.
why, do you know that monkey
steak when properly cooked is one Of
the most succulent of dishes? | have
tasted ii myself while out in the Phil
ippincs. And | know whereof | speak
when | say ii is not great deprivation
to have to substitute that kind of meat
for the soldiers regular menu.
How does it taste? Well, of course
it all depends on the size and age of
the monkey obtained for the repast.
The age is most important. Some of
those Philippine apes are reputed to be
antediluvians, and a piece of broiled
century old monkey is, of course, not
quite as tender as spring lamb, for in
stance.
However, l have no doubt the chefs
in those scouting parties of the Four
teenth knew quite well how to select
their game and never cooked anything
but the young ones. The meat of,f
young monkey, | should say tastei
very much like that of a rabbit.
''rhe best steak is taken from the
launches. When done to a crisp before
an open fire with the proper amount of
salt, it is quite delicacy.
After ALL most of the natural preiu-
dice which we have against eating
monkey meat is the fact that the beasts
look so much like man. One feels al
most like a cannibal when lie knows
that the meat which Is served up to
him is that of such a human looking
brute as the Philippine monkey.
Il am told that the natives in the
Philippine Islands have sort of super.
stitious awe of the monkey tribe For
that reason they don't like to kill them.
The Moros, many of whom are canni-
balls, are not so particular and regard
a monkey steak as a very choice NOR
