"Oh, you ask what became of the
rest of the monkeys and my expert
ment! Well, after the doctor said 1
would soon be all right again and per-
mitted me to walk about, I had Fer
nando take them out and try to re-
sumo the cotton picking, which the
darkies had meanwhile nearly COM
pleted. They had been very uneasy
and had shown so much restlessness
that the morning and evening hours
of relaxation had been abandoned.
"They would give low plaintive
means and cry out like children when
hurt and when released instead of
romping and jumping as at first, would
gather in groups and chatter together
as if talking over some trouble. Then
they would troop down to the corner
of the plantation and point away off
towards the South. So Fernando said
he would not let them out until
was well enough to give the matter
my personal attention. That morn
ing Fernando took the lead and spoke
nearly as possible as old Pythagoras

was sitting on fallen tree near
that timber over to the left partially
concealed by some bushes, watching
the work and wondering how it would
all turn out, when I saw two of the
monkeys skulking in my direction, evil
IDENTIFY trying to escape to the woods.
I had my revolver with me, not on
their account, but because some of
the darkey's friends had been heard
to make threats. and as the two
monkeys came near to me, stood up
and ordered them back. The larger
one, female, instead of retreating as
I supposed she would, Immediately
picked up a big stone and threw it
at me. Though the distance was con.
siderable, and she must have been
surprised to see me, the aim was so
true that it knocked my hat off, and
for moment 1 thought 1 was to be
Amador ledger., 1906-02-09

"Most of my darkies looked upon
the whole matter as a joke and went
away laughing and jollying each
other, but a few muttered and shook
their heads, and acted as if they
might prove troublesome. One of the
latter said, evidently intending that I
should hear, that he'd be damned if
he'd work on a plantation where they
employed beasts.
Il had had trouble with the man
at several different times. He was a
powerfully built negro, nearly six feet
four inches in his bare feet, and when
not in liquor, holding the record of
the fastest and cleanest cotton pick
er in the section. But he had very
surly disposition, and was too fond
of threatening his fellow workmen
with his big knife, which was half as
long as an Austrian sabre, and which
he kept as sharp as a razor. / had
cautioned him about this and told him
that if ever saw him draw that knife
on any one, black or white, I would
| shoot him without warning. He was
well aware of my facility with a re-
volver and was generally obedient to
my orders. After his remark above,
however, told him that l was get
ting tired Of his insubordination, and
ordered him to report to the cashier,
get his pay and for the future keep
off the plantation.
About two o'clock on the third
day, Fernando came driving up the
road with three two-horse wagons of
what proved the funniest and most
unique freight that ever entered our
gates. The occupants of the cages
were evidently little frightened at
their new surroundings, and their chat
terings were quite subdued. Old
Pythagoras, however, their leader, sat
on the front seat by the side of Fer.

judge, and seemingly as stoical as an
American Indian. But his eyes
beamed cordially and he smiled as
nearly as a monkey could smile, as
he swung himself from the seat and
bounded up the steps to greet me.
"The monkeys were permitted tc

Darwinian theory. 1 like novelty and
never refuse to investigate a new idea
because it appears to be out of the
common. 1 did investigate this one,
very thoroughly, and paid several
visits to the vessel where the mon
keys were kept. I could almost con-
verse with the big leader, who proved
to be the finest and most intelligent
animal ever saw. The more like a
human being treated him, the more
attached to me he seemed to become,
while I noticed that he at once re-
sented any familiarity towards me by
the others. ~
'tAfter some thought as to how the
darkies would regard this remarkable
innovation Of what they might con-
slider their rights, I made the trade.
In company with the sailor who

lawn and explained to them what I
proposed to do. added, wanted
neither them nor any of the men on
the adjoining plantations to get it
into their niger brains that this
would in any way affect their posi-.
tions. It had taken this man years
Of hard patient labor to educate these
animals to work, and probably no
others would ever be imported for such
purpose; that none of my men who
cared to work would be discharged,
as there would always be plenty of
extra work at the mines, and I tried
to explain to them that this was
solely an experiment of my own. After
the cotton was picked, if it resulted
as Fernando said it would, I should
take contract to pick my neigh

we should find for our Simian friends
