Monkeys are in class by them. selves" said the circus man. If one of them has red hair he is. sure to be a dandy scrapper. The best fighter is always the leader. They hang togeth- CT and bow and scrape before the boss just like good many people. Mon- keys with rcd faces and lat heads will whip the life out of those smaller than they are, but will run like the wind when it comes to an even break. A monkey riot Is funny spectacle. Even in the same cage you will find groups herded together as if there was some class distinction and the lines were drawn tightly. If two of the big ones come together in a row the others gen. erally stand of and let them have 1t out. but if any of the little ones get to scrappipg then the father and mother are apt to mix in, and the next step is q general row. We separate them by turning on the hose and punish them by locking up the den 50 that they can not get any peanuts from the crowd and hold back theis meals. This plan puts them on their good behsvior for axhils q leest Tho nonksy nhes'to

4 BRlER PIPE. |
Get One That Is Smooth Inside the
 Bowl, Says a Smoker.

Get One That Is Smooth Inside the
 Bowl. Says Smoker.
 A collegian who brides himself on the sweetness and color of his hrier wood pipes and pretends to know lot more about them than any ordinary smoker spent half an hour in a, tobacco shop making an addition to his already large collection.
 Some pipes he discarded because of the grain in the wood. There was too much stripe or too much birdseye, he remarked. When he found one which suited him he put it aside until he had gathered three or four which appar- ently were all right, and then came his final test to pick out the best of them all.
 He held, each with the bowl toward the light, then slowly rubbed his little finger inside. Two he discarded, then repeated the operation with the others until only one remained out of the dis card. That one he bought.
 Want lem smooth inside" he ex- plained. "A brier pipe roughly fin- ished inside the bowl isn't worth both ering with. I wouldn't take one for Q gift; wouldn't take the trouble to try to break 1t in, for it will never be any good. It won't cake up right, and it'll never be nice and sweet
 "I'ye got theory that when the in- side of the bowl is rough all the little edges and points of wood char and burn the first time you smoke 1t, and a burnt pipe is no good. That's. why I always take pipe that has bowl as smooth on the inside as on the out. 'Then 1t doesn't char, but cakes up evenly and gets good in a little time. Maybe the. theory is wrong, but 1t has worked out well in my own experience, and some of my friends who have tried 1t agree with me."-New York Sun.

of wonderful invention and machin~ cry, it is not right that the workers should be without homes of their own, while one man owns thousands of acres of land in the AdirondackS another thousands of acres in the southern countries. The methods by which these men acquired these vast tracts might be an interesting study. Henry D. Lloyd, one of Americas best known economists, told of some Of the capitalist methods of acquiring land in the great oil cases in his book, Wealth vs Commonwealth, E We will say right here that they didn't work for it and they didn't fight for it, they just stole 1t.
 When men have faced such fact1 and further, when they learn that tos day 1t is not necessary for corpora~ tions and trusts to steal these snat- ural opportunities" that belong to the people any longer; that to-day the capitalistic judicial power makes 10 all legal, the remission of the pun~ ishment of the Standard oil Go for stealing is an illustration to the pOluL.

 comes home" to Americans they may make an effort to get back some of these things they've been robbed of. Socialists do not advocate> stealing to- cure stealing, but the honest, inteliiA gent workingman does believe that ha ought to receive the value of what he6 produces. He believes that every man ought to have free access to tho means of life, and in doing that he is in accord with the framers of the declaration of independence, whQ wanted right to life, liberty and happiness. Capitalism has confiscat4 ed that right from the worker very often by denying him the right to work, and when the workers by their votes decide that they must own tha natural God-given opportunities light, land air, gas, coal, oil, etc, ay the machinery and other means(

The good of the whole peo- pie will then be the rule--not the good of a few, and when such. rule comes into force there will be no classes. no opportunity for profes- sional man to speak of a workingman as if he were born of another kind of flesh and blood, and attribute to him traits, sins and mistakes not common to all humanity. When the interest of society is concerned in the develop inent of human happiness, and not in the catering to human greed and human passions. then the mission of socialism will be fulfilled. .Workers of all countries unite; you have noth~ ing to lose but your chains. you have world to gain" And remember the place to unite is the ballot box, to vote for principles that will bring about the change of conditions that will in orderly fashion transform the system of capitalist collective pro- duction which We have to-day into | socially owned system of producfion- The system towards which society l1' tending.

MALAccA BELLIES

Eastern standards OF beauty differ.
like the customs. from those of the
west. In Malacca, we are told, the small
waist and velvet eyes do not count but
instead the length of the neck is the
criterion of beauty. The longer it is
the more perfect the beauty. The girl of
Malacca at a very early age is fitted
with a metal collar which compe1s her
TO keep. her head erect, and as she
grows the collar is increased in size
and by this means the neck is, gradual
ly elongated. A Paris contemporarv
