LAUGHTER Was Effective.

Of the family are expected to laugh.
The minister has son FL years old
who gets awfully tired of the jokes.
Recently he got in the habit of scowl-

alleged witticisms. The minister not

father served. AS result the son

for dinner and the son decided to get

laugh at his fathers jokes. Soon
after he had eaten his first allowance
his father sprang pun and the young
man laughed. 1t wasn't simple
laugh; it was a roar, which only end

STOLE COURT ROOM CLOCK.
One Story That Hongkong Doesn't
Like 20 Tell AGAINST Itself

"There is one story of Hongkong
that has never been told in this coun-
try" said the man from the tropics,
land / guess that's because Hong
kong has always been ashamed to let
the story get out. For if ever the laugh
was on whole community it settled
upon that damp village the time the
coolies went to the court house to fix
the clock.
"Hongkong prides itself on its mu-
nicipal buildings, particularly upon,
the Hall of Justice. Over on the wall
opposite where the Justices bench is
there used to be fine marble clock,
an immnese affair.
Whenever tourists visited the Hail
of Justice the big Sikh at the entrance
used to call particular attention to
that marble clock 1t was his pride,
and one of his chief joys of duty was
to wind it every week.
mot very long ago when court was
sitting two Chinese coolies dressed as
mechanics presented themselves be-
fore the ten foot ladder between them.
The Sikh stopped them.
"'Alle Ii; fixum clock pidgin,' said
one of the coolies. and the big Indian
admitted them.
"They went right over to the wall
under the clock, hoisted their ladder
noiselessly, and with due Difference
to the majesty of the law, represented
by the Justice on his woolsack across
the room, took that marble clock down
from its fastenings. Then they
trotted out of the court room, one
carrying the clock and the other
shouldering the ladder
"The reason why Hongkong will
never tell this story on itself is that
no more was ever seen either Of the
coolies or the marble clock. New

MANY FORMS OF CHEATING.

Worst Of ALL

One Small Boy Thinks. He Knows the
Worst Of All.
Judge Henry A. Shute has a char
acteristic boy story in the American
Magazine. Plupy read a paper on
"Cheeting,'' in which the following oc-
ours:
Il guess most everybody cheets
some. sometimes somebody comes to
the house which nobody wants to see
and Aunt Sarah will say, for mersy
sakes Joanna there comes that dred-
ful woman but when she comes in
they say they are auful glad to see
her and make her take Of her things
and stop to super and they put on the
best china and have gelly and hot
biskit. SO one day / asked Aunt
Sarah If that wasent cheeting and
Aunt Sarah she said perhaps it was,
but if we didn't do emmy wirse cheet-
ing than make people feel pretty good
she gessed it wasent very bad cheet-
ing.
"They is other kinds OF cheeting
two. once me and Beany was fitting
and all of sudden Beany began to
hold on to his stummock as If he was
suffering feerful and when a Teller is
fitting and holds on to his stumock, it
amt fair to hit emmy more than it is
to hit him when he is down, and so I
stopped and leaned over to see if he
was hurt and Beany started up and
hit me feerful paist in the eye and
blackened it and got licked that
time.
"Beaney he thaught it was a pretty
good trick to play on me and thaugt
so two after got over my mad and
the next time / had a f1te with Pewt
pretended was auful hurt and held
on to muy stumock and bent up dou-
BILE and watched my chance to straten
up like Beany did and black Pewt's
eye but Pewt dident give me emmy
chance and gumped on me when /
was all bent double and damned me.

QUESTION OF ANIMAL. REASON.
Mr.. Long Describes Clever ThIngs
Done by Birds and Beasts.

Mr.. Long Describes Clever ThIngs
Done by Birds and Beasts.
Readers who have taken part in the
recent discussion in these pages as to
the power of thought in animals will
find much of interest in an article in
Harper's Magazine by William J.
Long: t
"One need only to read the enor-
nous number of unusual animal incid-
ents related by Wallace, Darwin,
Romanes, Haeckel and the French
scientists, especially Broca and Milne
Edwards" he says, ito have his mind
opened anew and without prejudice to
the question of animal reason, and to
see the absrrdity of the Cartesian
theory Of automatic mechanism. Saw
ages, as we'll as monkeys, go behind
a looking glass to find the cause OF
the phenomenon. A dog tangled up in
his chain pulls and tugs impotently;
coon or a monkey in the same cir
cumstances will often go back to in
vestigate and clear the tangle and un
tie the knots. The chimpanzee builds
a platform on which to sleep; all the
other tribes of monkeys with one ex-
ception, have not enough instinct or
reason to do the thing. Offers break
their young from the strong weasel
instinct to hunt, and take them fishing
instead. Ospreys do the same thing
for their nestlings. Birds change the
style of their architecture to meet
new conditions The orioles have sew
eral times been known to fasten
twigs together to make better foun-
dalton for their nests. / have five
authentic instances of woodcock set
ting a broken leg in clay cast. Old
birds choose and build better than
young, showing some capacity for i'm
provement; and all birds and animals
can be taught multitude of things
that their ancestors never knew. II
we could place one Of these educated
animals beside a child that by some
fatality had been left utterly unedu-
Gated, without language or social re-
strictions, and with only his instincts
to guide him, we would have an object
lesson that would make all further ar
gument unnecessary. AS Darwin says.
after recording a large number OF
reasonable animal actions, ANY one
who is not convinced by such facts as
these, and by what he may observe
with his own dogs, that animals reas-
on would not be convinced by any
thing could add
Zone has no right whatever" ar
CUES Mr.. Long, ito Judge an animal
and man by different standards for
the same action. That is, if man
performs certain action, and one
explains it by saying that it is the re-
suit of reasoning, one has no right to
explain the same action in an animal
on the ground of instinct. Whether
the animal be man or bear, am
under the same necessity to watch his
actions, and then infer his mental
process from what goes on in my own
head under similar circumstances. To
one who judges animals in this ra-
tional way there is no doubt OF their
reasoning. The only problem lies in
the quality and amount Of that reason,
and in the origin and cause Of that
whole process of history which
stretches like a wide sea between III
and the animal kingdom"
