MONKEY PREFERS
 DEATH ALSO
Deliberately Commite Suicide After Friends Death By
 Refusing Food
FAMILY DECLARES PET
 DIES OF BROKEN HEART

CHICAGO. July 2,.-Grief over the death of Dr. Monroe s. Leech, of 365i Prairie avenue. two weexs ago. caused the suicide Of the physician's pei monkey, which refused to touch food after it's master died. 1t succumbed yesterday.
 Three years ago Mir. and Mrs. Frank Hartman. of Irving Park. made pr. Leech a present of a baby monkey. The serious faced animal grew and prospered under the care of the phy' sician and his family. While it was friendly with Mrs Leech and Miss Anna, the. only daughter, Monk. as il was called. gave most of its affection to the physician.
 When Dr. Leech finally was taken i'll. Monk took up its post at the sick bed. and refused to leave. On the day the physician died. it is declared by members of the family, the animal whimpered like a child. At the tuner. al Monk was permitted to look for the last time at the face of its dead mas ter. With shrill. almost human cries it clung to the casket and strong hands were necessary to pull 1t awa', All efforts to comfort and console Monk were useless. The night fol lowing the funeral the cries of the monkey were heard by several neigh bors in the block.
 When several days had passed and the monkey had not eaten. Mrs. Leech and her daughter realized that the little animal was slowly taking it's life They called several friends or Inc family. but none of them could in duce Monk to take nourishment They even attempted to force food down its throat.
 Doctor always used to come home at 4 o'clock in the afternoon" said Mrs. Leech. and Monk was always at the front window watching for him 1t seemed as If the little fellow could tell time the same as human being The last thing Monk did was to cravl feebly to the front room and take its , old position before the window. + died there, and if I ever saw look of intelligence it was in that lituG monkeys face when it gazed Iongingiy out of the window. After the doctors death we had to remove all Of his pic lures from the rooms because oi Monk. Whenever ii would see a photo it would seize it in it's arms ana cry and sob like little child"

Wanted, a Secretary of Humor.

The most practical and sensible
thing the government can do in regard
to the transportation of its commits
sion of inquiry to Liberia is to buy
tickets for the commissioners on one
of the regular steamship lines between
European ports and the African coast.
The commission is a comparatively
unimportant body, and the business
which it has in hand is of no great
consequence or interest. The assign
ment of a squadron of three naval YES

BRAINS NEEDED IN THE HOME.
Without INTELLIGENT Application.
Homework Means Drudgery and
General unhappiness.

AS a recipe for a happy home there
is none better than brains and good
housekeeping. The more a woman
knows the more easily she achieves.
Homework undirected by brains spells
~drudgery.
The housewife with brains knows
the value of system, of diregarding
traditions if they mean a waste of
higher powers, of making life more
simple If following the fashion means
cramped erves and strained purse.
The brain shows the f~utility Of
%scrubbing, stitching and busting as
home making qualities; while the
other half will never let culture run
rampant while stockings are I'm.

A woman was once asked to define
her ideal housekeeping. "It is that"
she said, where the woman keeps

FEW CARESSES IN HER LIFE
Infinite Pathos in Remark Made by
Little Philadelphia Child of
the SIums.

DR.. Herman L. During, superintend-
ent of the Philadelphia City mission,
has for many years devoted his life
to the poor. DR., During is the in
ventor of the pretzel test for street
beggars. When a street beggar pleads
starvation, you buy him q big German
pretzel at the nearest stand. If he
eats the p~retzel, he is honest; if he
refuses it, he is a fraud.
DR.. During in his work among the
poor has learned many odd, quaint
things that he relates superbly, for he
is a born story-teller. In an address
at Bala, apropos of the hard, rough
lives of the children of the poor, he
related a dialogue between two little
girls in Rum alley.
Maggie, wuz ye ever kissed?' said
the first tot.
"'On'y wunst in me life wot I kin
remember said the second. When l
wuz in de Honnyman hospital wild a
broken arm n O. de lady muses.
kissed me, an l blushed like a

The Duty on Iron Ore.

Reimposition by the senate of a por-
ton of the import tax on iron ore
which had been RENTED by the Payne
bill naturally suggests the question:
"Why should we tax foreign iron ore
any more than foreign gold, silver or
copper ore, all Of which are admitted
free?"
Iron ore is a natural resource.
Canada and Mexico both have large
iron deposits adjacent to our borders.
Any tax which binders Importation Of
Mexican or Canadian iron ore is sim
ply an incentive to more rapid ex-
haustion of domestic iron mines.
1t does not protect the American
ironworker or the American steel mill.
1t simply permits owners Of American
iron mines to obtain more by the ex-
act amount of the tax than they
should be able to obtain for their ore.
Ten dollars worth of iron ore is
just rs valuable a national asset as
ten dollars worth of gold or silver or
copper ore. No n of these should be
taxed when the only result of taxation
is increased cost to the ultimate pur-
chaser and user.

THE TARIFF AND THE HOME.
Republican Plan TO Increase Cost Of
Shoes and Stockings Condemned
by Supporter of Party.

Studious consideration has been
given the schedules of Mr.. Payne's tar
if bill by Miss Ida Tarbell. AS usual,
when Miss Tarbell does some think
ing she has something incisive and
convincing to say. She spoke the
women's viewpoint at a dinner of the
Academy of Political Science:
What has the Payne bill done for
the ten or twelve million mothers
bringing up a family on an income of
a few hundred dollars a year? +.
1t doesn't matter so much whether the
head is covered or not. But it Is of
vital importance that we should be
shod. Our stockings have been stead
lily decreasing in quality and increas-
ing in price. The increase in cost of
shoes in the last few years has been
one of the tragedies of our working
women. In the last few years the
price of the storm-rubber has gone up
from fifty to seventy-five cents. Mr..
Payne has done nothing to clip the
wings of the rubber trust, for the duty
still remains"
Around and around the country goes
the familiar slogan-"Tax not poverty
but wealth." 1t is incontrovertibly
sound, too, that slogan. But it
sounded too much like the theatric ex-
hortatfon of the stumping demagogue.
1t seemed inconceivable that the peo-
pies representatives in Washington
would do aught else but draft and
pass bills that would Tax not poverty
but wealth" That is too obviously,
too fundamentally the duty of taxation
to require this strident r~eiteration.
But here is a specific and undenia-
BILE instance which Miss Ida Tarbell-
not the first to do so-has strikingly
pointed out. Here is a sober sugges-
ton to tax, not only the poor, but the
life-necessities of the poor Stockings
are not Injuries. Shoes are not lux.
uries. Rubber o%vershoes are not lux
uries.. The feet of the children of the
poor must be protected from the ele-
ments If their health is to be pre-
served. And it is the ten or twelve
million mothers, to whom Miss Tarbell
refers, who must buy these stockings,
shoes and rubbers from that pitiful lit
tie income.
Stockings and shoes for four chill
dren make sad inroads into the little
wage of two or three dollars a day.
What will the increase of SO or even
% per cent. NEAR to that family? If
more money must be paid for stock
ings and shoes, less money must be
spent for bread and butter. It is a
very simple problem, for the income
remains constant. Is this not taxing
the necessities of the poor?
Congress can afford to look well into
the tariff on shoes and stockings

A New TRIMMING.

Many of the imported gowns are be.
ing trimmed with silk-covered cord. 1t
is very effective, and is necessarily
somewhat exclusive, since it cannot
be bought in the shops. 1t is not diff
ficult to make at home, however.
Use soft cotton cord, as thick as
heavy Irvine. Messaline, satin or
taffeta may be used In the desired
color. Cut the material in bias strips,
turn in the edges, bind the cord, sew
ing carefully along these edges. The
trimming is then braided on to the
gown in a large pattern. If it is I'M
practical to have the gown stamped,
trace the pattern on tissue paper,
haste 1t on and braid through it. After
the design is finished the paper may
be pulled out. This kind of cord also
makes suitable loops for silk-covered
buttons when they are used for trim
ming.

The Tyrrany Of Yesterday.

There are some people over whom
yesterday tyrannizes. That is to say,
they shrink from doing to-day any
thing that differs in the least from
what they did "a hours ago. Emerson
has called consistency, under some
circumstances, "the hobgoblin of lit
tie minds" and Walter Bagehot has
said there are many persons to whom
1t is a positive pain to entertain a new
idea. This slavish defense to yester-
day robs us of many a fine inspira-
ton, and many a splendid opportunity,

is painful, but because it is different

WHERE PAT DREW THE LINE.
Patient and Long Suffering, But No
Man with a Face Like That Could
Work with Him.

Pat had been at work for three days
digging a well, and as the foreman
wanted it finished within the week he
had promised Pat another man to
help him, 1t was getting on for II
o'clock, and Towser, the foreman's
bulldog, was looking owe the edge of
the pit, when Pat said to himself,
"Smoke-o."
He had just filled his pipe, and was
about to light it when he glanced UP
and beheld Towser's handsome fea-
lures.
Slowly removing the pipe from his
mouth, he said: "~Be-e-egorra, Owe
