A Train Load Of Monkeys.

A plague OF monkeys some years ago
sorely troubled the officials at a small
station OH the Saran railway. In north
west India. says the Bombay Gazette.
Trucks full of grain for export We're
often stored up In the station. and the
monkeys came down In large numbers
from neighboring grove to help them
selves to the grain. picking holes In the
tarpaulin roof OF the wagons. The Of
ficials were wearied out with keeping
watch and soaring away the thieves.
who daily grew bolder. till an ingcn,
ious guard hit upon stratagem. For
several days sweets and fruits were
put on the roofs OF the wagons, with
the result that the whole OF the mon
key colony were attracted to the spot
and soon became perfectly Indifferent
to man. One morning when they were
all buslly feeding an engine was
stealthlly attached 20 the wagons. and
suddenly the train moved of. The
monkeys were quite scared and made
no attempt to escape. sitting crouched
together TIL the train had gone several
miles and stopped nj the jungle. Then
they wanted no hint TO leave. Every
monkey lenped down bowling and fed
into the jungle. whence none ever re-
turned to trouble the railway.

remarkable transformation took place.
Standing In the middle OF the room.

TEE PACIFIC
SAM COULD NOT
USE THE SIGNALS

Here is a good story that will in
terest the football fans. Some four
teen years ago, in 1895, there was. a
very prodigious town football team
that had a game arranged with the
football players from the U. S. S.
Philadelphia.
Colonel Sam was one of the town
team. He could speak fairly good
English but no Hawaiian. All the 9TH
er members of the town team could
handle the local lingo TO perfection and
so it was arranged to not monkey with
numbered signals, but just to talk in
Hawaiian.
Then came the big trouble. Sam
could not be made to understand the
difference between mauka and makai.
One signal was Sam, mapka, hama
hama This meant that Sam was the
goat to take Interference by two big
huskies and barge through the sailor
line.
But Sam got mixed up. The signals
were tried in practise and worked fair
ly well. But, when the game started
the husky Russian got tangled in his
dates. Finally the quarter back got
peeved. He started to give the signals
in English and this is the way he did
it. "Sam johnson, can you hear mes
Do you know your name9 When the
ball is snapped, you catch it and run
forward like Hail Columbia and don It
stop until you cross their line.''
Not one of the sailors knew who
Sam johnson was and the funny part
was that Sam caught the ball and
actually bucked through tackle and
scored after great twenty-fve-yard
run, thus winning the game. For cor
roboration refer to any of the old
liners.
