Hats, coats and boots, were strewn
about the hall floor in confusion. lie
walked into the kitchen and found
every piece OF crockery smashed.
Broken plates and bottles Uttered
the table, chairs and floor, knives aul
forks were wedged In the fireplace,
and provisions OF various kinds were
mixed together in most unYleas-
ant manner.
Mr.. MacDoneld's desk had been
plunderei and valuable papers
strewn about tho floor, some OF them
ruined by ink. In spite of the wide
spread damage no valuables had been
taken from the fat II was evident
that ordinary burglars were not re-
sponsible, ana Mr.. Macdonald had no
enemies who would destroy his ef-
fects out of revenge. He called In
the police.
sestigation proved that a pet
monkey with the appropriate name
of Coroner" had escaped from q
house In tho same street. II was
evident that, after breaking the cord
which confined him to third floor
room, he had clambered along the
roofs to the apartment house In which
Mr.. Macdonald lived. and entered the
kitchen through an open window.

both monkeys began screeching and
tugging at the little door to open 1t
again. When the door was opened
Baldy darted inside and the two
monkeys embraced each other like
human beings, chattering meanwhile
like two reunited friends who had
not met in years.
Several other instances are on rec
ord in which monkeys have died OF
broken heart. One of these was
Jakey, of the New York Central Park
menagerie. This little monkey lived
for twenty-four years In the Zoo and
was one of he happiest and liveliest
inmates of the monkey-house. In
June, 1904, Jakey and his mate. Me-
liss, were separated, and from that
time Jakey's health began to fail
The animal grew sullen and morose
and within a week was dead Tho
keepers said Jakey had lied OF a
broken heart.
Dude. a member OF the troupe of
trick monkeys which eppeard at Glen
Island in 1908, died OF broken
heart because after surgical oper-
alton which involved shaving the
Simians face, the other members Of
the troupe stunned him.
Several months ago Robe&t Darwin
a tour-year-old monkey, member
OF the Zoo company ut Overton Park,
Memphis, Tenn. committed suicide
by deliberately lying down on the
track In front OF an approaching
street car. Darwin had been suffer
ing from a contagious disease and
had been put in cage remote from
his companions. The monkey be-
came melancholy and finally escaped
from its cage. 1t hid for several
days in the wooded district OF the
park and then made its way to the
park approach and flung itself on the
track In front OF an approaching
car.

year working less land than last year
said that no had learned something
from the experience OF his father, who.
with his wife and oil OF the children
or an age to help. was always head
over heels in work. Our friend stated
that the hired man problem was q Sc.
rious one-not only the getting OF any
man at all. but the getting man
whom fellow cared to keep after he
had hired him. With a quarter section
farm he estimated that he could get
along with the help he could hire by
the day. while II he rented more land
he would have to hire n man for the
whole season and find something for
him to do during that time. Working
the smaller farm. he figured that, while
there would not be so many bushels OF
grain to thrash and SO much corn to
husk, there would also be less work
and worry and n good deal less to pay
out for expenses OF one kind and an.

II II doubtful n there Is an Industrial
enterprise which has ever been under
taken by the federal government which
gives promise OF having such far
reaching and benefcent effects as that
which has been inaugurated under the
irrigation reclamation service under
the direction OF the department OF
agriculture. While a dozen or more
separate irrigation projects have been
undertaken under the terms Of the
Carey act, the Truckcc- Carson project
was the first TO be completed. and
such marvellous results have been ut.
tained through the application Of water
TO heretofore arid and barren land that
the excellence OF this piece OF legisla-
ton has been demonstrated beyond tho
question OF doubt, giving additional
Impetus and meaning to every other
similar project which has been started.

ferred to water is taken from the
Truckee river ten miles above wads-

that time. Grain and fruit are now

OF the Carey net the fund provided by
the government for the prosecution OF
these irrigation projects Is revolving
TINT Is, the public land Is sold to the
settlers- After the completion or the
irrigation works the sum expended on
the project Is returned to the govern.
ment by the settlers In ten annual
equal installments. As fast as it Is
paid back tho money Is devoted to the
completion Of other projects, and so
on until all are completed. The water
rights are perpetual and are held with
the title OF the land. A commendable
feature about the plan is the fact that
the purchase OF land IS restricted to a
limited number OF acres, which tends
TO do away with speculation entirely
