There is a badly shocked baboon IN the
window OF Seymour Rice's ''smokehouse"
on West Ninth street Ii is certain that
this red-haired simian will not hereafte
tamper with an electric light socket IL IL
be true that he learns by experience
When this babonn was placed in the
window he began at once to investigate
the electric lights which line the cor
ners OF It, Mr. Rice, therefore, took out
the lower ones leaving the sockets
empty The monkey paid no further at
tention to them till night, when the lights
were turned on. Then, TO his simple
mind, there was something wrong with
those empty sickets. He produced them
but could do nothing with them Finally
he ran his long tongue into one.
At once there was a howl OF pain a
fash ofg red-haired monkey in the air
and the simian was curled up in the cor
ner of the window bowling with the
sudden, but not violent pain. His tongue
had formed contact being wet in the
socket and he had been shocked good and
plenty. he was terrified more than he
was hurt. however. He would look at
the socket-from safe distance-and
then, running his tongue out, would feel
the end OF It, and grimace; then he
would look at the socket again, in an
effort 10 connect the two. Evidently his
mind didn't reason that far, bat II taught
him one thing, and that was to let both
lights and sockets alone
The baboon belongs TO a circus man
and is something of a rarity, in that he
is red-haired. He is very playful little
thing only a year old, and as gentle as
kitten.-Kansas City Journal

The suprenia couYt at Berlin has rem
dered a decision limiting damage claims
by hotelkeepers which will be OF interest
to tourists generally and the many Amer
leans who stay at German hotels in
particular. The decision Is the subject
OF a report to the state department by
Consul General Guenther at Frankfort.
The question involved was whether a
hotelkeeper is entitled to damages from
the heirs ~ guest, who, after a stay OF
several days ~ the hotel dies there Of
heart failure, and whose death necessi-
tated a renovation and consequently a
temporary non-rental OF the room he had
occupied
The hotelkeeper claimed pay for the
expenses OF renovation and disinfection
OF the room and the loss Of rental OF the
same for ten days. As tho hotel was one
Of the firFt-ciass, the sum asked was
considerable. The supreme court dis
missed the suit on the ground that "the
tenant Of a room is only responsible for
damages II they were caused by his own
fault or that OF his people. The death
OF his hotel guest is risk involved In
keeping hotel which the hotelkeeper
alone has to bear. and which he cannot

PENsIoNINe THE AGED.
What the French Government Has
Done in the Matter.


"The aged are generally held in re
spect, but not more so than in the
United States" So says United States
Consul General Gowdy at Paris in a
report in regard to the care of the
aged in France. For more than half
a century the French government has
been experimenting with schemes for
pensioning the aged, but not with en-
tire success. The law now in force,
which was adopted in 1895, is not al
together satisfactory and will probably
be amended in the near future.
At the present time deposits are re-
ceived from any person, regardless of
age, but the amount may not exceed
500 francs ($96.50) in the course of a
year. An account may be opened for
child three years of age; married
woman may deposit money without
her husbands consent. At any age
between fifty and sixty-five Cor earlier
IN case of permanent disability to
worlz) the depositor may claim his an
nuity, which is calculated according
to the amount of his deposit and in
terest and the probabilities of life, but
the annuity may not exceed 1900
francs ($231.5O).
In rural districts the tax gatherer
is empowered to receive deposits, and
In many factories a certain percentage
Is deducted from the wages and paid
to the Caisse in the workman's name.
A branch of the Caisse may be
founded in any town or village, with
the permission of the prefect of the
department. and there are about 1890
of such branches, with nearly 100000
depositors.

FOOD IN SERMONS.
Feed the Dominic Right and the Ser
mons are Brilliant.

A conscientious. hard-working and
eminently successful clergyman
writes: Il am glad to bear testimony
to the pleasure and increased meas
ure Of efficiency and health that have
come to me from adopting Grape-Nuts
food as one of my articles of diet
For several years l was much dis
tressed during the early part of each
day by indigestion. My breakfast,
usually consisting of oatmeal, milk
and eggs, seemed to turn sour and
failed 10 digest. After dinner the
headache and other symptoms follow
ing the breakfast would wear away,
only to return, however, next morn
ting.
Having heard of Grape-Nuts food,
I finally concluded to give it a fair
trial. quit the use of oatmeal and
eggs, and made my breakfasts of
Grape-Nuts, cream, toast and Postum.
The result was surprising in improv-
ed health and total absence of the
distress that had, for SO long a time,
followed the morning meal. My diges-
tion became once more satisfactory,
the headaches ceased. and the old
feeling of energy returned. Since that
time, four years ago, l have always
had Grape-Nuts food on my breakfast
table.
II was delighted to find also, that
whereas before began to use Grape
Nuts food was quite nervous and be-
came easily wearied in the work of
preparing sermons and in study, a
marked improvement in this respect
resulted from the change in my diet.

produced this result and helped me
to sturdy condition OF mental and
physical strength.

SOUTHERN STATES
 WELL REPRESENTED
WILL HAVE FAR BETTER REPRE- SANITATION IN THE INAUGURAL PARADE THAN THE MIDDLE AND WESTERN STATES.

Washington, February 26.4(Special)- The fact that the south, the only part of the union which was opposed to the election of MT. Roosevelt, is so largely represented in the inaugural parade while the middle and far west, which rolled up conspicuous majorities for the Republican candidates, are hardly repre- scented at all, is causing considerable comment among the members of the in- augural committee.
 As the preparations for the inaugural have advanced, one by one the states of Dixie land have slgniied a desire to celebrate the installation into office of the man against whom it rolled up big majorities. The Governor of Louisl- ana and his staff, company of infantry from Alabama, the Georgia military academy, a battery and a company from Florida, a company and a battery from North Carolina, two regiments from Vir- gnia and another from Maryland will compose a representation of the entire south.
 Perhaps the most notable evidence of this desire on the part of the south to do honor to President Roosevelt was brought out when Chairman Wilson of the inaugural committee received a let- ter from Colonel Higgins of the Seventy first infantry of Virginia offering the en- tire command as personal escort to the President The offer was declined on the ground that Grand Marshal Chaffee had already designated the personal escort of the President, but Colonel Higgins and the men of the Seventy Virginia were thanked by a general of the United States army and a soldier in the war between the states for their courtesy.

ACTIVE AND RuoYANr.
London Exchange Anticipates Cheap
 CT Money al End of Quarter.

London, February 26-The stock ex- change last week was active and buoyant under the influence of persistent peace talk, and while outsiders are purchasing more freely, considerable speculative position has been built up in anticipation of further public support at the end of the quarter. when money is expected to be cheaper. With the bank of England absorbing gold arrivals. Thursdays re- serve reached the highest point in eight years.
 There was some disappointment at the non-reduction of the bank rate, which caused profit-taling in consols, but the decline was soon checked. The feature in foreign securities was the activity of Japanese bonds, which were steadily absorbed, and despite occasional realiza- ton show a further gain for the week, while Russians were correspondingly weaker. Americans. after periods of srurts and relapses, finished the week strongly and with further gains, es- pecially in Union Pacific, New York, and Ontario & Western while much interest was devoted to steel securities.

CLOTH MARKET STRONG.
Large Business Transacted at Re-
 muneratlve Rates.

Manchester, February 26.-The market for cotton cloths was strong last week, with an active demand. A large business was transacted for Indian outlets at re- munerative rates.- Important contracts for higher grade staples have been placed in China for delivery, extending over the year, while rather more was doing for Egypt and South America.
 Printing and finishing cloths were most wanted, but sellers were inclined to holc for higher rates. Manufacturers gen orally are difficult to deal with in view of the already heavy orders for protract- ed delivery. Yarns had a satisfactory turnover at full rates. American crops were in strong demand, and goods were placed for future delivery. but spinners generally are not anxious to sell owing to engagements already booked.
