Siamese monkey was being
brought to Europe on steamer with
several other monkeys, who for some
reason would have nothing to do with
him.
This ostraclsm exasperated the Sia-
mesc. and whenever lie got chance he
would grab one Of the others Ivy the
tail. drag him nil over the deck and
finally climb into the rigging aud drop

Darwin tells of female orang on,
tang that took hold OF dish In which
her food WAS served ana put It on her
head rs if tit were hat. Thus ndorp-
ell she provoked roars of laughter. to
her evident qualification, from tho
crowd around her cage.
Another naturalist saw n bnboon get
even with an officer who had often
,cased him. Seeing the officer ap.
proaching. the baboon poured some
winter into n hole In the ground, mix

When his enemy came up he splashed
the muddy water Oh the officers uni
form. For long time after this every
time the animal saw the Officer he In

of being laughter.
Savillo Kent declares that dolphins
nre fond of teasing other fish by sciz-
Ing their tails and dragging them
through the water. He once saw two
dolphins attack n big skate swimming
near the surface of the water The
skate tried to escape them by raising
Its tail out Of water, but the dolphin
got hold OF it. and dragged the skate
in every direction.
Foals will often tease human beings

Gross, the naturalist, relates several
amusing instances of similar nature

did not care to eat, dropped 1t and
then, lying upon it. pretended to look

Another case he speaks of is that of

Day celebration today at the oxford
orphan Asylum was a success in every
and the attendance was very large. 1t
was impossible to estimate the num-
Der but there We're probably about
5000 present. The excursion train
from Raleigh brought about 300, and
trains from Littleton and Durham
brought as many more.
The communication of the Grand
Lodge Of Masons Of North Carolina
took place in Masonic Han at 11:30.
The exercises in the grove, which
began at twelve o'clock, We're
presided over by Most Wor-
shipful Master Francis d. Win

chaplain. This vas followed by a song
by the orphans, entitled Building"
General Il. S. Register delivered an
Elegant address of welcome. and was
by Mr.. n. b. Broughton, of Raleigh.
The children then sang The Old
North State the audience joining in
in the chorus. Then Colonel solomon
+. Gallert was introduced by Most
Worshipful Grand Master Francis d.
Winston in his best style.
Colonel Gallert's speech was on

phasiZing Masonry of the ancients

ent, the one operative, the other spec
%ulatiVe. Colonel Gallert said that at
ter being in such q style.
and being so impressed by the sight
of the children at the asylum and by
the large crowd present he decided to
lay aside the speech prepared for the
occasion and speak especially on the
cause OF the establishment of the Or
der Of the Eastern Star, which would
add greatly TO the usefulness in Ma
sonry by the addition of WOman's
work. He said "NNhat woman is to
the household; what the Eastern Star
would be to Masonry" He emphasized
the Importance of completion of the
Masonic Temple III Raleigh. which
would bring about the establishment
of q home for the aged and intirm
Masons and provide q retreat for the
ones who have worked faithfully in
assisting Oxford Orphan Asylum where
so many children receive careful
training.

served in the Orphan Asylum. After
dinner the alumni of the asylum We're

PRETTY ROMANCE.
Two Young Farmers Of Fertile 10 Wed
Sisters From MinneaDOlis.

CrookstOn Journal: A double we'd
ding will be celebrated in Crookston
November Is in which two brothers,
Thorwald and Olaf Decd, two pros
porous farmers residing five miles
northeast OF Fertile, are to be united
to two sisters, Meta and Villa Smyth
of Minneapolis as the elimination OF IA
very pretty and unusual romance.
1t seems the Smyth sisters came to
Crookston ON a visit with the inten-
ton of returning to Minneapolis, But
while in Crookston the pretty sisters
met Thorwald and Olaf J. Roed, and q
double courtship began. 1t was not
a long drawn out affair, and both the
young men won their brides at about
the same time.
The only obstacle ON the smooth
double courtship track was the red
tape of the law. The license had to
be taken out in the county in which
the girls lived. The Clerk of Court
Lanctot showed the way, they paid
him for licenses, and he sent appli-
cations duly sworn to the clerk at
Minneapolis. and the licenses were is
sued. SO a IS bill set aside all the
difficulties

perfectly as the bee, although OF a

According to officials of the Carne.
sic hero fund. the most remarkable
case that has been investigated by the
commission was that of Rufus X.
Combs Of Midway. KY, who was
granted a silver medal and $500 In
cash by the commission recently.
Combs saved the life of his bitter en-.
envy and political rival, Richard God
son. lawyer and inventor.
Godson had entered a vault to test
gas making apparatus and was over.
come by the fumes.
Friends and relatives were afraid to
enter the vault. When he declared
his intention of going in Combs was
pulled back and told that Godson was
dead. and that he would surely lose
his own life If he attempted to recover
the body.
There may be some life in him."
declared Combs as he pulled away and
entered the vault. He carried his en-.
envy to the door of the vault and then
fell unconscious. Both men recov.
cred and are now the stanchest of
friends.
Asked why he had risked his life
for his most bitter enemy, Combs re.
piled: Because love fighter who
fights fair. and Godson always did
that. Exchange.

Baby Snake Wins Battle.

A baby RATHER which was hungry
and mouse which had no desire to
be victim fought it out Yesterday in
a cage in the window of fish store
at 1865 Fulton street. Brooklyn, says
the New York World. Mother Snake
and eight little brothers and sisters
watched the baby fight its first bat
tie for meal.
Fifty men and women crowded
about the window during the Is min.
utes that the mouse held out. The
baby RATHER chased him from one cor
ner Of the box to another, striking,
coiling and uncoiling, while Mother
Snake looked on with pride.
Mr.. Mouse had several bad falls in
trying to get out of the box, and
finally fell and lay still. Baby Rather
surveyed it's victim and prepared for
a meal. But Mother Snake, being
frugal. took the meal away from her
son, deposited it in a corner and kent
all the family tantilazed for an hour.
Then they fed.
