REACHED LIMIT OF PATIENCE
Woman Had Put Up with Lot But
Last Trick OF Monkey Was
Too Much.

George F. Freeman no longer owna
a monkey. He did until short time
ago. The simian was a pet for Free
man. and a pest of his mother. Al
though she loathed the creature she
tolerated its presence on account Of
the attachment between her son and
his pet
One day Mrs. Freeman was planting
flower seed in a small patch of spaded
ground in her back yard. The mon
key had watched with interest the
preparation of the ground for the
seeds. When the planting came his
curiosity grew as the work progressed.
Following Mrs. Freeman as she
thrust the small sweet pea seeds into
the ground and covered them over
the monkey dug up each seed, but it
found each one alike in taste-and not
an altogether pleasant taste at that
-spat it out and moved on in the
wake of the planter. Mrs. Freeman's
back was turned to the monkey until
she finished the last row, then she
turned and saw the results of the
animals campaign in the place where
she expected flowers to bloom.
George" she said, when her son
came home, that monkey and I can
not live in the same family"
The monkey has a new home now

TEXAS SENATOR OPENS FIGHT IN
THE SENATE PRESS
GALLERY.
SCRIMMAGE IS LIVELY
CORRESPONDENT DENOUNCED AS
AN INFAMOUS LIAR AND MIS-
ERABLE CREATURE.

hington.-Senator Bailey of
Texas and W. s. Manning, represent
tative of the New York Times in the
Senate press gallery. exchanged blows
just as the Senate adjourned Thursday.
as result of a conversation they had
in reference to an article printed by
the New York newspaper questioning
the sincerity of the senator in his
course on the income tax
Neither was injured, as they were
separated by Senator Clapp, Porto
Rican Commissioner Larringa, a num-
Der of Senate employees and several
newspaper correspondents.
A bitter attack upon the author of an
article in the New York Times, charg-
| ing that Senator Bailey had played into
the hands of Senator Aldrich by his
course in demanding an immediate
vote on the income tax amendment,
and had thus caused split of the
forces supporting such an amendment,
was made by Mr.. Bailey in the Senate.
Mr.. Manning accosted Mr.. Bailey
, after adjournment to inform him that
he was inaccurate in suggesting Re-
publican senators as possible source
of inspiration for the article.
Mr.. Bailey asked who wrote article,
and at the same time declared, it is
said, that the man who had written it
was liar" The senator's language
was very emphatic and Mr.. Manning
responded that he had not had the
honor to write the story
Iaot ha
or" was emphasized in a manner in
| tended to be offensive. The two men
were directly in front of the door lead
ing to the finance committee and also
in front of one of the private eleva-
tors.
Several persons heard the word
''liar!" proclaimed in loud voice and
then saw Mr. Bailey and Mr.. Manning
clinch. The latter claims Mr.. Bailey
hit him first.
In the mixup Mr.. Manning struck
the senator with his umbrella, knock
ing off the senator's hat, and the
senator grabbed Mr.. Manning by the
throat.
Just at that moment the elevator
stopped at the Senate floor and Sena
tor Clapp and Mr.. Larringa stepped
! out.
Without waiting to learn the cause
of the disturbance Mr.. Clapp threw
his arms around Senator Bailey, who
at that time seemed to be in a posi-
ton to do serious injury to the cor
respondent, young man of slight
build.
The Texan struggled desperately
to break from this restraint, but Sen
ator Clapp frightened his hold and
newspaper correspondents pushed Mr.
Manning away and insisted upon his
! leaving the corridor.
Mr.. Bailey's speech in regard to the
article was one of the most scathing
arrangements of a newspaper cores
pendent that has ever been heard in
the Senate. The senator not only as
serted that the writer of the article
was IAN Infamous liar" but that he
was miserable creature unfit to as
sociate with honest men"

CLAIM OF LEADER COMPANY
FOR PRINTING-NEW SUIT.

Guthrie, Okla. Dec. S.-The
breach b tween the Leader Printing
company of Guthrie. which does
most of the state printing, and state
Auditor NJ f. Trap. has been fur
ther widened by a second suit by .
the Leader against the auditor, In I
which the latter Is charged with .
Withholding payment on and cut /
ting down printing bills out of per
sonal animosity and vindictiyeness.'
The suit was filed in the superior
court OF Logan county. and involves
claims aggregating Sl,iS7. which
have accumulated since statehood
The claims are for supplies and

them in full, making a total reduc-
tion of S5i3 ON the claims. The
Leader refused to accept the cuts
and brought suit. .
In addition to alleging personal
animosity and discrimination from
the auditor, the Leader company
charges that Mr. Trapp refused to
file the claims and kept them hid
IN secret keepingplaces.
Mr. Trapp issued the following
statement in reply to the suit:
Il deny emphatically that at any
time since my installation into pub
mostly, malice, ill-feelng. or dis

other person having claims against

FORECAST OF NEWS.
MANY EVENTS OF IMPORTANCE
 ARE SCHEDULED.
The Domestie News This Week win Be sureharwed With Patriot- tsm--Lincoin's Centen-
 mSy to Be Observed.

The domestic news this week will be surcharged with patriotism.
 The sentiment. newly aroused by the approach from the east of the battle ship fleet. snd intensified by the anti alien struggle on the Pacific coast, will be inspiration of countless orations on Friday, when the tooth anniversary of the birth of Abraham Lincoln will be observed.
 Daily wireless messages will tell of the proudest naval force afioat hurry Ing to Q home port. where will be found e cure for the homeslckness re- ported to be rampant among officers and men. About half of the passage across the Atlantic will be made du. ring the present week.
 The anti-Japanese measures intro duced in the legislatures of California and Nevada will be subject of earnest consideration at Washington. It is confidently expected by some of the leading legislators of Nevada that the bill passed by the Assembly, designed to exclude Japanese from the owner ship of land or land mortgages in that state will be shorn of its anti-Asiatie force by Senate amendments. There Is more uneaSiness in Washington as to the outcome In California.
 Other events of interest will be ar. rival at New Orleans from Panama of President-elect Taft and the meeting on Wednesday of the electoral college.
 A busy week Is in promise for Con- greaS. The House Tuesday probably will proceed to discussion of the Presidents course In vetoing the cen sus bill. It is confidently expected that the Committee on Census will recon. mend that lt be passed again, regard less of the veto. and. that an imm mediate seRork nus co dlspoae Ok. H will be nzad es T'ha &estafHl tRiifson Is the Com. mtftde recommsndnsiah Will be adopt ed by the House. The IegisIatIon re- latlng to the canal zone may re- ceive. attention from the House on Tuesday.
 On Wednesday the House, It is ex. pected, will dispose of the bill provid- ing for. the Agricultural Department. This will be followed by the Indian ap- propriation bill. a.f If time permits the House will give attention during the week to the penal code bill, an effort to amend which win be made by the adoption of legIslation on the liquor question.
 The Senate will return to the appro- priaticn calendar Tuesday or Wednes- 1 day The naval bill, with It's two big battleships and other provisions for the increase of the navy, win bc re- | ported early in the week. It is proba | bie that the conference report on the | legislative, executive and Judicial ap- Npropriation bill will be made during | the week.
 If opportunity permits 1t Is probable that Senator Carter will call up his postal savings btll during the week.
