AN APES CURIOSITY.
The Trick Which Always Fooled a
MiscIievOas Chinpanxee.

The Trick which Always Fooled q
Miscl,ievOus Chimpanxee,
A few years ago in the London zoo
Joe, chimpanzec, was lodged and
boarded in separate compartment.
Every morning when Joe was let out
for an airing he grew very miscllie-
vous. He abused his liberty by leaping
around the outside Of the cage and
pulling the tails of his mates. When
1t was time to shut him UP again in his
cage Joe would just as regularly rebel
and refuse to come to his keeper. AS
he was too nlmble to be caught and too
crafty to be allured by dainties, his
keepe" had to use strategy. Near an
end of the monkey house was a large
dark hole out of which came a gas
pipe. Having opened the door of Joe's
compartment, the keeper would peep
into the dark hole, and then appear as
II he saw something intensely interest
ing. Joe would descend from his perch
and, like him, earnestly gaze into tine
hole. Then, with gesture OF fear. the
keeper would run into Joe's cage, fol
lowed by the chimpanzee, chattering
with fright, and the door would be
shut. Singular as 1t may seem. though
this trick was repeated daily for
months, Joe never learned It. Every
morning he was captured by The same
ruse, and yet experience never taught
him wisdom.

The Very Select.

On account of the bargain season
that comes with the approach of tho
holidays New York's Four Hundred
has been marked down to seventy-nine.
This greatly slmplifies matters. II
there are only seventy-nine persons In
town worth knowing, the visitor from
the rural districts should have no tr0u-
bic in getting acquainted with all of
them in few days-that Is, provided
he could get near enough.
Hereafter the man from Podunk will
not have to take the trouble to get ac-
quainted with all of the cab drivers
and motormen In town, for IL they
cannot present credentials to show that
they belong to the select seventy mine
the proper thing for him to do will be
to hand them his fare in dignifed ST.
lence and look around for some one
worth while.

a town OF 200 who is In the habit OF
speaking to every one he meets, but II

The Word Derrick.

The word derrick for machine used
to lift heavy weights is curiously de.
rived from a London hangman in the
beginning of the seventeenth century
whose name was Theodoric and who is
often mentioned in old plays. "He
rides circuit with the devil, and Der
rick must be his host, and Tyborne the
inn at which he will light" occurs in
"The Bellman of London" published
in 1G1G. The name thus corrupted
came afterward to be applied, by an
easy transition, to the gallows and lat
er still to any frame or contriyance re-
sembling it in shape.

takes the place of associate editor.
Mr.. Chamberlain is a forceful and
readable writer and we are glad to be
able to employ more Of his time, which

terested in dramatic news and com
ment, will be pleased to know that he
will again have charge Of the dramatic

Won Buelow Smooths Things
Over.

Chancellor Won Buelow made dis.
tlnctly Pacificatory speech in the Ger
man reichstag Wednesday,; It was his
first public speech since the day, seven
months ago, when, on the same spot,
ne fell unconscious. Aside from the
qualification his effort yielded to his
friends as an evidence Of his restored
health, the speech was significant for
the desire it betrayed on the part of
Germany to be at peace with the world.
The chancellor took up in order the
various powers, and, with a word here,
hint there, endeavored to ease up
the strain which the impetuous kaiser
has put upon the empires relations
with them. ,..... So. r..
The number Of thoughtful Frenchmen
who reject the idea of a sswar of ag-
gression' against Germany, he de-
clared, is constantly increasing. He
also asserted that Germany, by her
friendly relations with Russia and with
England, does not intend to press in
between France and Russia or between
France and England. Since the kai-
ser's government has only peaceful in
tentions, he asks, how can it be thought
that the Improvement with England
OF the friendship with Russia is intend
ed to disturb the relations of the west
ern powers? Turning the question
about, the chancellor points out that
any other theory must presuppose that
the encircling powers are striving to
isolate Germany-a plan that would be
'critical for the peace Of Europe.''
Turning then to Italy and Austria
who are partners with Germany in the
triple alliance, the chancellor endeav.
ored to allay the friction: arising out
of their failure to support Germany
heartily in the Morocco affair, by point
ing out the difficulties that prevented
such action. Lastly, coming to the
United States, Won Buelow extracted
few bright nosegays from his fiowe,
basket and laid them at our feet. We
had acted wisely and we'll at Algeciras
a service to the world only second tc
our success in bringing about peace at
Portsmouth. AS for the economic re.
lations between the United States and
Germany, he felt sure naturally bene
fetal agreement would be arranged cir
an obliging spirit.''
Having thus soothed and softened
everybody, the good chancellor will pur
sue his humble way. until the badly
advised and over-fattered kaiser breaks
loose again.

BRILLIANT ARTIST COMING

the citadel of European criticism and
gained glowing encomiums from the
most exacting musical writer's of the
old world. She will play. two of the
most brilliant and technically difficult
compositions in the literature of the
piano with the Symphony orchestra
are Moskowsky's concerto in E major
for piano and orchestra, and the
"scherzo" from Litolff's famous Sym
phonic Concerto
