1t is generally supposed that Prof.
Garner is the first man to study what
has come to be called the speech Of
monkeys. AS a matter Of fact, the
honor belongs to Sir Richard Burton,
the famous orientalist, who translated
the Thousand and One Nights" Lady
Burton tells in her biography Of her
distinguished husband that Sir Rich
ard believed firmly in monkey speech !;
that he had forty apes continually
with him for several years, and that
he had written down a monkey vocab-
ularly of sixty words. This vocabu-
larry, unfortunately, was lost.
Prof. Garner can make a strange
monkey drink by saying a certain
word, and with another word he can
make it eat. and with another word
he can frighten 1t. But Sir Richard
Burton could do all these things, too.
His vocabulary, Furthermore, was lar
ger than Prof. Gamers. Ernst Hack
ell, the great German scientist, is in
hearty sympathy with the study Of the
monkey language. He says he believes
firmly that such language exists.

An old negro Waterman was sta.
toned at a crossing of a Southern
railroad, his duty being to warn trav-
elers of approaching trains. One night
a farmers wagon was struck, and dur

negro was star witness for the COM
pany. He replied to all the crosS-ex-
animation and when asked if he had
swung his lantern when he saw the
train coming, replied:
Il shorely did, sah!"
Th case was won by the company
and the lawyer congratulated the old
negro for his valuable testimony, to
which the latter explained:

Mr.. NJ. V. McInnes, Canadian Govern

Dear Sir and Friend:
1t will be four years next May since

and SO this year, INC was not sown
until the latter part of May. had
three acres of potatoes this year and
sold 700 bushels and put 275 bushels
In the cellar and no bugs to pick.
We have a fine Government creamery
at Olds. Our cows made SAL per head
and didn't feed any grain-only prai-
RE hay-so you see we are doing well
We have the patent for our homestead
now and am very thankful hat we

This is the country for a poor man as
well as a man with money.

Roosevelt on Family Life,

That a woman cannot do the best work
in her home and for her husband if she
occupies a merely servile attitude TOWARD
him, is one of the ideas contained in the
recent letter written by President Roose-
welt to the New York State mothers
assembly. He urges that woman should
have the same right as man to train her
mind, and that she should nave wholly
outside interests and occupations in addi-
ion to her home work occasionally.

WV ~ SIoSs-
An interesting precedent in executive
methods was made by Gov. Hughes Of
New York, when he called to his Office
Superintendent of Insurance Kelsey, and
there, in the presence of stenographers,
reporters and public men, subjected him
to a rigid cross-examination as to the
conduct of the insurance department, thus
bringing from Kelsey's own lips the ad-
mission that he had kept subordinates in
office whose false reports had already been
exposed, and that he, himself, was i'll in
formed about existing conditions. This
paved the way for the Governors formal
recommendation for the removal of Kel-
sey on the ground of unfitness, which
went into the State Senate Thus the
Governor, by making good his prediction
pledge to the people, put the matter
Squarely up to the ~lawmaking body.
