The Chimpansee.

Liberia is the home of the chimpan-
zee. Of the beautiful monkey known
as Dandy Jack, OF the water chew
rotains and such strange beasts as the
manatee and the armadillo. The chin
panzee is said to bear near relation
to man, and people who do not enter
tain that view will be able to gauge
the sagacity of the animal from the
following interesting anecdote: II saw
young female chimpanzee from the
Cavalla river in the possession of the
German consul at Cape Palmas. 1t
would have been difficult to meet
with more human creature not at
tually of the genus homo This chin
panzee lived in her owners house as
child might have done. with a negro
nurse to look after her She was gen
orally allowed complete liberty and
did not abuse this freedom by break
Ing or spelling anything within her
reach and. strange TO say. was won
derfully clean in her habits, a virtue
too often wanting In chimpanzees.
Puppe would come when her name
was called and fling herself into her
masters arms Puppies sympathy
with strangers was discriminating. II
she liked the person introduced she
would climb en his knee and tender
charming caresses, pushing out the
long lips In pout to be kissed"

MusKRAT BUILDERS.



The House In the Meadow and Hew
1t LIS Constructed.
l have always been told that musk
rat houses mean a severe winter In
stead Of sign of cold weather, tbs
muskrat house means simply that one
or more muskrats have chosen to live
In the low meadow or at the shallow
head of the pond, where there Is no
chance to burrow underground and
have bedroom that cannot be flooded
by the high tides of winter.
These same muskrats, along the steep
banks Of river. would tunnel into the
earth and there dig a bedroom out of
reach Of the highest food. They do not
always succeed. however, as they are
often washed out OF their winter beds
by spring freshets
The house in the meadow is lily
built over tall, stout tussock, whose
grassy top forms the bed. This is dom
ed over making a large room big
enough for one or for half a dozen, ac-
cording to the number OF muskrata
sharing the work At least two open
ings or dives lead from the bed into
open water at the foot Of the tussock
And this water never freezes. when
Ice forms outside the warmth OF the
muskrats' bodies is sufficient to keep
the doors free, through which the
jewellers shoot at instant alarm, for
these passages lead into winding bur
rows and waterways that run far out

A Little
Ingenue
BY BELLE MANDATES

O>>~~~~-~~~~>~-~>~~~~~
Back in the midst of d hundred oaks
stood the rambling old farmhouse, its
lawn stretching into gardens, its gar
dens into orchards, orchards into mead
ows and meadows into forest In this
ideal old country place dwelt Elihu
Wilkes, stern, puritanical old man,
his timid. docile wife and their or
phaned granddaughter, Helene Law
renee, who, despite the fact that her
upcoming had been strictly and nor
rowly supervised by her grandfather
and that she had been allowed no play
mates, was blooming into a winsome
affectionate maidenhood
The last month had been one Of de-
light to her One day an automobile
had broken down near the house, and
its occupant, beautiful young woman
from the city, had stayed there while
her chauffeur had returned for re-
pairs.
How it was accomplished was mys-
terry. but Miss Marshall had won the
old mans consent to her becoming a
boarder at The Oaks for a few weeks,
as she was in search of just such a
place for. rest and quiet after a gay
season.
The night before her return to her
home she took beautiful stroll through
the woods with Helene, whose eyes
rested in wistful meditation upon her
companion.
Louise" she said in soft voiced
tones, Il am lonely and sad at the
thought of your leaving u.s.
"My dear little ingenue, wish 1
could persuade your grandfather to let
you accompany me. 1t is preposterous
to think you have been shut up in one
place, no matter how lovely 1t may be,
for the whole Of your life-never to
have been to the city, even, or to have
seen any young men save the farmers
about here"
''Oh. Louise" said the young girl
with bright blush, 81 went to the
little station today, and l saw the

The young girl shook her head in

with her to the station, a distance of
three miles through a stretch of cool
dark trees. The little ingenue gazed
