APPLE THIEF PROVES
TO BE PET MONKEY
Mayor Refuses Permit to Kill In
truder, But Offers Reward
For 1t Alive.

WILKESBARRE, aug. Jacob
Smith complained 10 Mayor Kniffen IN
police court that a monkey was robbing
his apple tree and he wanted TO know
If he had the right to shoot the intrud-
er.
For some time Smith has been miss
ing apples from the tree and he decided
to lay IN wait for the thief, but with
out success. Still the fruit would dis
appear. This morning the owner Of the
tree thought he heard a noise up in
the branches. He investigated and
found a monkey owned by an organ
grinder living near by was helping him
self TO the apples, and when he saw
he was caught he deliberately threw an
apple at Smith, striking him between
the eyes. The monk" then fed TO ala
adjoining tree and ESCAPED.
The mayor advised Smith to capture
the animal alive and he would give MIN
SO for the prize.

FOR SUNDAY BALL
Beverly Clergyman Takes Keen
Interest in All Forms
of Sport.

BEVERLY. Mass. Aug. 2.-The Rev.
P. H. Drake, pastor of the First Uni-
versalist Church, which the Taft family
attends, has created a sensation in this
staid old Puritan town by declaring
himself in favor Of Sunday baseball and
other sports. such as tennis or golf' in
the afternoon.
II would urge that as good a way as
any to spend Sunday would be that
every one attend at least some good un-
dogp1atic church, Just as suggestion
for self-improvement," he says, ana
then 90 home and read or 90 To the
beach or play baseball, croquet. tennis
or golf, and be just as happy as It Is
possible to be"
The Rev. Mr.. Drake is a young man,
and the Beverly church is one or his
first charges. He is a graduate or IuL %
and has always taken a keen interest in
athletics Sunday is the safety value
of the civilized world he says.

WHAT is AN AMATEUR?
What is an amateur

What is an amateur
All depends on what sport you are
engaged in.
If a college athlete, you are not
supposed TO have ever contested for
money. not even for a nickel offering
bv your grandpa when you were a
Riddle of five
If a trap shooter, you can compete
for money, but you must never have
sold powder or guns or had any firm
nav your expenses TO a tournament.
If a golfer, you are barred if you
have ever competed for money, made
golf clubs for a living. or acted as
a professional instructor for a club.
but you can play in tournaments
with professionals.
In every sport there is a different
idea Of just what an amateur sports
man is
To say the least, IT is confusing.
The colleges are supposed 10 be the
most strict, but even there some pro-
fessionalism Is allowed to creep in In
a roundabout way.
A college athlete may work all
summer in a harvest field and return
a clean amateur. but II he plays one
game Of baseball and takes a cent,
he is barred from amateur circles.
That is, II they can prove it on
him
over In England they have been
calling a Simon pure" amateur the
man who played for pure love of the
sport, and who did not work for
living
we do not go that far In America.
II We did. Harry Payne Whitney
and young Jay Gould would be about
the only amateur sports on the job.
But yet. what Is an amateur

The secret Gfevy desired kept could not
have been very piquant, for the missive
only brought FIVE francs, OF else the pur-
chaser got prize whose value he alone
realized If all letters marked with the

1t is pleasing to note that the efforts
Of the rejuyenated Windsor Journal have
been turned among other things toward
preservation Of the old Constitution
House, thus lending local influence to
assist the efforts which various members
IF the Vermont press have been putting
forth for several years The house Is.
A. the contemporary says, one Of the
most precious relics IN Vermont: vet it
stands to-day neglected and disintegrat-
ing, after l25 years Of history. It was
in this building that committee was
appointed to draft a constitution for the
infant state, and II was there during
the same year Of l777 that the assembled
delegates accepted the draft of the con-
stitution. as prepared by their commit
tee. Strange, indeed, it is that efforts
have not been made to preserve this
structure in its original lines, either BY
state or local organizations.
If the people of Windsor realized the
fact, they have good reason, aside
from their veneration for historical
things, e prompt them to preserve the
Constitution House. They might trans
form its antiquity into commercial value
at a comparatively slight outlay. If the
building were to be renovated enough
to make a visit to it not attended by
disagreeable features, and if, perhaps,
caretaker were placed in charge Of the
building to furnish interesting data to
visitors. there is no doubt that great
many people would be attracted to
Windsor simply to inspect the venerable
building. Then, little judicious adyer-
