A Cunning Baboon.

In South Africa some of the fruit
gardens are much exposed to the raw
ages Of large cyocephalic apes, and a
good guard has to be kept or the re-
suits of long labor would be lost. In
some Of those gardens grow certain
shrubs which are much affected by
wasps, the insects liking to attach
thereto their nests. These wasps,
though small, have a very venomous
sting. Balloons had often been noticed
eying with envious glances the fast
npening fruit in one certain garden,
but feared to gather for fear of at
tracing the assaults Of the wasps.
One morning the farmer heard terrible
cries, and with the aid Of a good field
glass he witnessed the following trag-
edy: A large, venerable bsboon, chief
Of the band, was catching the younger
apes and pitching them into the shrubs
wherein hung the wasps' nests. This
he repeated again and again in spite
Of the most piteous cries from his vic
Tins. OF course the wasps assumed
the defensive in swarms. During this
part Of the performance the old brute
quietly fed on the fruit, deigning oc-
casionally to throw fragmentary re-
mains to some female and young ba-
honns little farther off,

Boone, Oct. 25.-C. d. Bosworth has
in his possession small coin that has
an interesting history. If 1t were pos
sibie for this rough piece of metal to
suddenly acquire the gift of speech, the
history and possibly the mysteries of
the ages might be unfolded.
The coin is of copper and is known
to have been coined at least 800 years
before the dawning of the Christian
era. Some of the noted scientists of
the country have inspected the coin
and have agreed that it is an old Gre
clan coin of an age at least three CEN
turtles before the coming of Christ, but
the exact date they can not tell. There
are but two other coins like this one
known to be in existence. The coin
was found in the ruins of an ancient
temple and was unearthed 10y tie rep
resentatives of a biblical society who
was delving in the ruins to find what
would throw further light on the mys~
teries of past ages. 1t came into the
possession of DR.. Akron, a medical
missionary in the Holy Land, and was
by him given to Mr.. BosWorth.
Upon one side of the coin are num-
Der of Grecian letters enclrcling pic
ture of a woi1ran's head. The engrav-
ing is rough but this may be the re-
suit of its great age and hard usage.
On the other side of the coin rs the
picture of Grecian warrior clothed in
the armcr worn by the fighting men of
that age In one hand the warrior
grasps a spear and in the other the
hand of a captive which he rudely
drags behind him. The captive is upon
his knees with his head thrown back
as if pleading for supplcation.
Mr.. Bosworth has quite collection
of rare coins to which the Grecian
piece will be valuable addition. DR..
Akron has promised to send him sever.
al other coins from the Holy Land in
a short time, among them being mite.
