sIMlAN LOVE AND REVENGE.
Peculiar Conduct OF Monkey
Causes sailors Much Trouble.

Peculiar Conduct OF Monkey
Causes sailors Much Trouble.
A curious story OF love and revenge
comes to us from the far east and the
fact that II Is the love and revenge
Of a Javanese monkey doesn't abate
the human interest In the narrative.
Nor should the further fact that the
tale comes to us via the crew OF a
tramp steamer abate all confidence in
its truth. 1t appears that the sailors
who manned this steamer had collected
In Java a number OF monkeys for spec
ulatiye purposes and these were con.
fined In the hold
Among them were two unusually In
telligent slmlans who were released
during the voyage and permitted the
freedom OF the ship. Unhapplly n
sudden storm came up and one OF the
playful creatures was washed over
board. The remaining one. who had
not seen his comrades sudden taking
or, searched the ship for hours and
finally betook himself to the rigging,
where he remained three days, refus-
ing food and avoiding all efforts to cap
ture him.
No doubt he held the sailors respon.
slble for the death of his partner and
lit would appear that he was formulat-
ing a scheme for revenge. Anyway,
the third night he released all the mon
keys In the hold and for two days the
slmians made life miserable for the
sailors. They bit and scratched and
fought and 1t was only after a number
Of them had been flung overheard tha.
the balance could be captured and Sc
cured. And in all the forays and fierce
charges the revengeful monkey was IN
the van.
Whatever may be contended concern
ing the reasoning powers OF the brute
creation, there have been many In.
stances recorded of their remembrance
Of past injuries. And this fact would
seem TO give the story Of monkey ven
geance some semblance of truth

TWO GODS.

A boy was born mid little things,
Between a little world and sky
And dreamed not OF the cosmic rings
Round which the circling planets fly.
He lived In little works and thoughts,
Where little ventures grow and plod,
And paced and ploughed his little plots,
And prayed unto his little God,
But as the mighty system grew,
His faith grew faint with many scars
The Cosmos widened In MS view
But God was lost among his stars.
Another boy In lowly days,
As he, to little things was born,
But gathered lore In woodland ways,
And from the glory of the morn,
As wider skies broke on his view,
God greatened in his growing mind;
Each year he dreamed his God anew,
And left his older God behind.
He saw the boundless scheme dilate,
In star and blossom, sky and clod
And as the universe grew great,
He saw In 1t greater God.

The National Forest.

Washington, July 10.-(Special) )-"The Use of the National Forests" a publica- ton Just printed by the department of agriculture, is a brief, clear manual for public information as to the forest policy of the national government.
 It Is too true, as the short preface to the public says, that many people do not know what national forests are Others may have heard much about them but have no Idea of their true purpose and use." It Is the object of this pub lication to explain Just what the national forests mean, what they are for, and how to use them.
 In the first place, it is explained how the forests are created and now their boundaries are drawn. Next, their di- rect use and value are shown from the point of view of the homeseeker, the prospector and the miner, the user of timber, the user of the range the user of water, and other users of forest re- sources Third, 1t Is shown how the for ests are intended for use, for the pro-

duction of usable products, and for the establishment and maintenance of homes; how on all of them the timber Is pro- tected from fire, the water flow is kept steady, the forage on the range Is in- creased and guarded from abuse; and how, in addition, they serve as great public playgrounds and as breeding places and refuges for game Finally, the management of the national forests Is described
 Here 1t is that the great usefulness of the forests is brought out most clear ly and strikingly for the forests are man. aged by the people in their own in- terests and every means is used to meet the desires and wants of all forest users half way by dealing with them In the main directly on the ground and in all cases with the utmost practicable dis patch and freedom from red tape.
 In word the special interest of this manual lies in Its showing that the for est policy of the government, both in principle and in practice, is for the ben eft of the ordinary man, for the benefit of every citizen equally. There Is still a tendency to think of the national for ests as preserves" closed to use, and to leave the public lands exposed to unregulated individual exploitation. Where these misapprenhensions still prevail 'The Use of the National Forests" will go far to correct them.
 The book Is written by MT. Frederick F. Olmstead, whose intimate knowledge of conditions in the west and the policy under which the national forests are managed. especially fits hi into deal with the subject.
