began with the very pertinent as

of the committee, who professed
failure to understand her assertion,
Mr.. Allen, as well as every one else
knows that the great fight now on,
not only in this state, but in the
whole country, is between prohibit
tion and license, and that the only
door through which license could
get into Maine Is that which resub
mission would open. Therefore the
temperance people oppose II, and
why shouldn they. The advocates
of license are consistent in wantin
resubmission. It's their only hope.

How ! monkey Pleaded.

In Barbados the monkeys frequently
injure the sugar cane As a general
thing, however, they are inofiensive crea-
lures and the average planter regards
them with good natured tolerance. Once
in a while, however, they commit a
little too much damage on the growing
cane, and an example has to be made Of
one poor culprit By shooting a member
81 any particular troops Of monkeys
that may be found near the scene OF
destruction. Exposing the dead body as
warning is usually sufficient, and the
cane Is no longer attacked.
On one occasion great DANCE had been
perpetrated and the planter Clarence
Agard, now residing in st. Lucy, Barba-
dos went out with his gun to act as
execntioner. He succeeded in isolating
one stray sinian IN tree that was
detached from all adjacent shrubbery.
The poor animal, realizing that it was
trapped, rushed up to the topmost
branch and then 10 the utmost end Of
the branch, and looked In the most APP
pealing manner at the man below. The
latter finally raised his gun, and was
on the point Of pressing the trigger when
the monkey suddenly took a little in
fantile replica Of itself from its back and
held it out in the most duplicating way
conceivable
The planter, who is fond Of animals,
had bis heart quite touched, and he
promptly lowered his gun A compan.
ion, however, in bis endeayor to see
what else the poor simian would do,
raised his gun. and apparently once more
its life was in danger Then ensued a
most striking exhibition Of animal req.
soning The monkey at once Trasped
the fact that her first claim for consid-
GRAFTON had apparently failed, and the
only reason her intelligence could sng
gest for the failure was that the infant
simian was NOT regarded as her own
genuine Offspring
What was to be donel How could
she convince these two human brutes
that she really was sad and distressed

her. She plueked a lear from the tree,
