A MONKEY TRICK.

The nature and character OF the
monkey are not changed by any train
ing that he may receive. All the
tricks that may be taught him will
add little to what he is accustomed
to practice in his wild state. The
chief difference to him is that he has
a different set of victims to torment.
Captain J. A. Lawson, the author OF
"Wanderings in the Interior of New
Guinea" had a chance to watch the
rascals in their native wilds and ma
tive wildness, and he found them up
to the same mischievous pranks as
they play here on the city streets.
One trick of theirs is described.
Every little while we passed under
trees occupied by troops of monkeys,
some of them of the large kind that
had given us so much trouble on
former occasion. They we're a little
better hammered at this place. One
large tree in which they lad estab-
lished their quarters stretched its
branches over the water twenty yards
or more.
While I was watching the antics
of the monkeys, two c-ocodiles
showed their heads just underneath,
and remained stationary with their
ugly snouts sticking up in the air. In
other countries this is a common
dodge of the crocodiles to entice the
monkeys within their reach, and 1
expected now to see one or more Of
the noisy animals fall victims to the
goggle-eyed monsters below, and with
considerable curiosity l awaited the
result.
AS soon as the black-looking heads
silent. Presently one big fellow
evidently one of authority in this
monkey republic-came down to re-
connoiter He returned, and in Il
few minutes came down again with
a long, thin stick in his hand, and
accompanied by about a hundred of
his companions. They began to chat
ter and pelt their foes; but the croc-
odiles took no notice; and | thought
they seemed to give wink of salts
faction at seeing their silly victims
coming within their reach. Nearer
and nearer they came, until some of
them were barely six feet above the
crocodiles; and l was expecting every
instant to see one Of them dragged
under the water. All of a sudden
the monkey with the stick leaned
over and drove it into the eye of the
crocodile nearest him. The wounded
reptile sank like lead. and was quick
ly followed by its comrade.
There was no mistaking the howl
Of delight that greeted this stratagem
and it's success. 1t was perfectly hui
man in it's tone, and was taken up
with vengeful glee by all the mon
keys in the neighborhood. The grav-
lty of demeanor with which the old
fellow committed this assault was
laughable in the extreme. He went
to work with all the caution of an
old lawyer, and when he had inflicted
the poke he hauled himself aloft with
an alacrity that showed he could
form a very good estimation of the
danger which he ran.

Captain Giertsen. fifty-fonr days out

docked at Erie Basin late yesterday.
Captain Giertsen's blue eyed daugh-

bark. piloted her in. The Angerona
left Trondheim, Norway, about year
ago. She had been a British vessel.
but Captain Giertsen bought her and
started out to get what cargo he
could wherever he could. After a
good deal of wandering he found
cargo of quebrachor at Buenos Ayres.
Quebracho is the bark of a South
American tree, and is used as febri-
fuge and in lung diseases. but Cap
tain Giertsen didn't care what it was
used for SO long as it paid freight.
He got his ship to the Hook last Sun

around him there, and Miss Lincoln

A laugh is just like sunshine,
1t freshens all the day,
1t tips the peak of life with light,
And drives the clouds away;
The soul grows glad that hears it,
And feels it's courage strong
A laugh is just like sunshine
For cheering folk along!
A laugh is just like music,
1t fingers in the heart,
And where its melody is heard
The ills of life depart;
And happy thoughts come crowding
Its joyful notes to greet
A laugh is just like music
For making living sweet!

The BOYS
Rev. T. A. Hilton Calls Meeting for
Tomorrow Night to Organize
Mems Club.

Gains equivocation when asked as
to Abels whereabouts was the theme
for an unusually pointed address by
Rev. T. a. Hilton at St. Luke's
church last night.
Answering the world-old query,
Am | my brothers keeper?' the
popular clergyman poinc1a out the
signs of an awakening of mans re-
sponsibility to mana regard Tor che
welfare of the other fellOW-notice-
able within the past half century.
In everyday business life the speak
er showed, honesty and cleanly liv-
ing and consideration for fellow
creatures find their own rewards.
The point of the sermon was Mr..
Hilton's plea for the moral salvation
of the youth of Wenatchee. What
the young men and boys of this town
need, m~fe than anything else" said
the minister, lis clean place Of
amusement, where they may go Of
nights and seek cOmpaniOnship; yes
and | am liberal enough to say it
smoke, play cards and pool, too, If
inclined; in fact, find diversion in
many amusements which are in
themselves innocent enough, but
which some people have come to re-
gara as injurious because we so Of
ten find them associated with resorts
of uncertain character"
A meeting will be held tomorrow
night with this object in view,-the
formation of a society or boys club
in Wenatchee, to be open to all young
men and boys. 1t is hoped that this
organization may be perfected, and,
though starting with a small begin
ming, may prove the neuclus of per-
manent and increasing membership.
Rev. Mr.. Hilton will attend tomorrow
nights meeting, and outline the
scope and purpose of the proposed
association.
The meeting tomorrow night will
be held in the church at o'clock.

of these social gatherings is to deep
en- the spirit of sociability and to
keep open house to strangers and
newcomers. The social is for grown
ups, and old grown-ups will be made
to feel at home. An opportunity will
be given each one to contribute ten
cents to help pay for the refresh
ments.

SENATOR cARMAcK's CAREER.
Had Been Long in Politics and Jour-
naIism in His Native State.

Memphis, Tenn. November TO-
Former United States Senator Edward
w. Carmack who was shot and killed
late yesterday at Nashville, was born
near Castillian Springs, Sumner coun-
ty, Tenn, November 5, 1858. He had
an academic education, studied law,
practiced in Columbia, Tenn, and was
member of the legislature of 1884.
He was a delegate to the national
Democratic convention of 1896 and
member of congress 1S97-19O1. from
the Tenth congressional district of
Tennessee. He served with distinc-
tion in the United States senate for
six years, being defeated for re-elec-
tion in the primary little over a
year ago by former Governor Robert
L. Taylor. Senator Carmack then re-
sumed the practice of law in this city,
which was then his home, but within
few months removed to Nashville.
Last spring he opposed Governor
TdIIeTSOH IOr lHe OeluOCrdJlC BuDeT-
Material nomination, championing the
cause of statewide prohibition. He
was defeated. Shortly after his defeat
Mr.. Carmack was offered the editor
ship of the Nashville Tennessean. He
accepted the offer and since then, and
for the last two months, has been at
the head Of the Tennessean.
Senator Carmacks newspaper ca
reer began in 1886, as member of
the editorial staff of the Nashville
American. He founded the Nashville
Democrat in 1889, and when it was
merged into the American he became
editor-in-chief of the latter paper. In
1892 he became editor of the Com
mercial-Appeal at Memphis.
He married April, 1890, Miss Eliza
beth Cobey Dunnington of Columbia,
Tenn.
