Parkn1an's Deed Of Justice.

A story is told about Francis
parkman, the historian, which shows
that in spite of impaired eyesight he
was not blind to injustice, A friend
met him walking along the street,
holding two street boys by their coat
collars. In reply to his friends re-
quest for an explanation Parkman
SAID: i found this boy had eaten an
apple without dividing with lis lit
tie brother. Now I'm going to buy
one for the little boy and make the
big one look on while he eats it,"
After reading this incident we
should expect fairness of treatment
in Parkman's histories.-St. Nichos

CALIFORNIA PLANTER
Employs Corps of Trainers to Teach
Monkey to Pick Prunes.

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
Can monkeys be taught to pick prunes
and other orchard fruits7
Martin V. Seeley, a prominent fruit
grower of Santa Clara valley, believes
that they can, and in that belief has sent
to Central America for 500 OF the little
Simian natives of that country. These
monkeys are said to be now on the way
to California.
The idea was conveyed to Mr.. Seeey, lie
says, through the chance remark of Il
guest made in jest. This guest was in MI.
Seeley's prune orchard last season, where
there were number of Japs hopping
about under the trees picking up prunes.
In moving the Japs did not rise, but while
In a sitting posture hoped from spot to

Idea. lie had passed some years in Cen
trail America and had seen the many
tricks-some of them showing a marked
degree of intelligence, that the natives
had taught the monkeys Even in Il half
wild state the monkeys showed them
selves TO be great imitators. Now the
Idea that they may be taught to pick
fruit and put it in baskets has struck in
on SeeIey, ana he is going to give it a
trial, he says. 1t may prove practical
