KENT TROLLEY
SEEMS ASSURED
Right Of Way Promised and
Projectors Now Waiting
for Leases

SMYRNA, Aug. 15.-Aceording to j..
w. Endean, the prospects Of building
the Smyrna. Kent county and Delaware
Bay electric railway at an early date
are better to-day than they were one
week ago. For several months the
project was halted because OF the in
ability TO obtain a right of way for the
line, but this obstacle has since been
overcome. and the projectors having
been promised a way are now waiting
for heirs of property which the line
will pass to sign the necessary leases.
As many Of these heirs are residents
OF other states. some time will elapse
before all the leases are received.
While the right of way question is
pending. Mr.. Endean says he is busy
getting the plans and specifications
ready for the power stations. equip
ment, etc, so that contracts can be
placed within twenty-four hours time
after the last right of way is acquired
The financial syndicate Mr. Endean
SAYS, is not discouraged by the delay
They. Of course. were hoping things
would go along more smoothly, but
they are impressed more than ever that
Delaware should have a thorough and
up-to-date trolley system and stand
ready TO invest the S1,75O,00o, the esti-
mated cost of constructing the line, as
soon as the people Of the State lend
proper encouragement to the project.

much more satisfactory to tame q monkey
herself than to buy a tame pet. A monkey
loves but once, and 1t is just as well that
his mistress be his one and only love
II you desire beauty in a monkey get
marmoset The marmoset is the prettiest
OF monkeys being tiny, very hairy, and
beauuhed by long, bushy, white whiskers
or fms, which stick out like a brush at
either side OF his face.
But though the maTTnoset is fashionable
and attractive, he is the most difficult OF
an monkeys to tame. II you want trick
monkey, one that win be almost certain to
turn out tamable and sffechonate, a young
ringtail, a variety a size larger and a bit
homelier than the marmoset win be found
more satisfactory.
The ringtail is next 70 the chimpanzee In
intelligence and is capable of being taught
to act Just like a little man. He walks
about on his hind legs and uses his hands
exactly like a human, and he is SELDOM or
never disagreeable OF cross.
In selecting a monkey note these points:
Do not buy a monkey whose fan is full
and bushy and very beautiful unless he
Is perfectly tame. The whiskers OF
young marmoset are always scant and
delicate. II tho whiskers Of a monkey are
fully grown tho monkey is an old one and
II Is impossible to tame a marmoset unless
you start his training at a very early age.
Make the dealer brush mp the hair OF
the monkey aud show you his skin. If 1t
is blush white, buy him. That is a sign
OF perfect health
II the skin is yellow do not invest your
money, for you may be quite sure that the
monkey has tuberculosis and win live but
a short while IN this climate. II the skin
is black the monkey has blood poisoning
and IS already doomed. The skin coloring
Of a monkey is a sure sign OF his state Of
hankh
Do not buy a monkey whose teeth are
black OF yellow. A young monkey has
tiny pointed white milk teeth like a baby's
When he is fun grown he, sheds these and
gets a complete new set OF black teeth.
The important thing is not necessarily
to get a tanned monkey. but 20 get a young
one and a healthy one; for given these
two qualities you are tolerably sure Of
being able TO raise and tame him.
For a marmoset you may pay anywhere
from S TO $50, according to his age. the
time OF the year. the number in stock.
the demand and the past education Of the
monkey. A perfectly tanned marmOset Is
so rare that you may have to give as much
as $40 or so 10 secure one. A ringtail Is
worth about s. more than a marmOset Of
the same age and breeding and under the
same conditions.

gentleman Is Of a very delicate constitution
and only half acclimated as a rule
He is very sensitive to cold, and It is
not only fashionable but humane to get
him a good warm wardrobe. Coats he
should have in plenty. and II you intend
10 introduce him In the monkey smart
set they should include a smoking Jacket
O pair Of pyjamas and a fun dress as well
as an afternoon frock coat BY wearing
these he learns all sorts OF cunning habits
and becomes as civilized as clothes gen
orally make a man.
The monkey should be fed very carefully
and kept in a warm room. Do not attempt
to take him out until he has become thor
oughly acclimated, and at first he should
be carefully wrapped on such occasions, or
just as you are beginning TO nnd him com
panionable he may die OF consumption or
pneumonia, the disease which carries on
half the pet monkeys nowadays.
Mix, either natural or condensed, IS his
staple article of diet. Do not stun him
with sweets and keep him carefully away
from your toilet soap, or he may get a
soap jag-he is very fond OF that article
which viii end seriously.

bread, and occasionally a lump Of sugar,
II you like have Jocko brought in when
you are taking your morning coftee and
allow him TO sit opposite you in his smok-
ing jacket and enjoy his cup of warm milk.
There Is a great art in making friends
with a monkey. He is a very sensitive
creature, strong in his likes and his dis
likes, an unfailing friend and a very dis
agreeable enemy.
Approach him very quietly and gently at
drst. He hates nervous people who rush
at him and make a great fuss over him.
Do not attempt to win him with a smile
The sight OF teeth always means to him a
fight.
II is best to put him in a cage and pay
no attention 10 him for two or three days
except to hand him his food with a few
gentle words In a low tone OF voice. until
he has become accustomed 10 you. BE
sure 10 feed him yourself at hrst, for his
FIRST love is his last one, and the way e

Give him a warm bed 10 sleep In and
