somethIna About Monkeys.

There are great many different
sorts of monkeys, ranging in size
from little fellow able to sit in our
hand to a monster of greater proper
tions than man, and having disa-
greeable and exaggerated likeness to
him. Grandpa says there is another
kind. One that wears clothes and
likes pie and doesn't like school, one
that is a great climber when young,
and terrible tease, but is rather"
lovable, after all. Perhaps you know
this kind. But seriously, most inter-
est centers in the manlike ape, as he
is called The best type of manlike
ape is the gorilla. What a horrible
beast he is!
AS for strength, the gorilla has an
abundance. 1t makes nothing of TAX
ing a gun and bending it double, and,
Of course, the strongest man is like
putty in it's hands. One quick blow
of the fearful hand, and life goes out
like a candle-hame in hurricane.
The gorilla is not courageous unless
cornered, very fortunately, and there
fore it does not do a great deal of
harm in the way of taking human
life, though it does destroy fruit and
grain in a wholesale manner. It is
really an untamable creature, though
quite good-natured and monkeylike
when young.-Home Herald.

I'll tell you how to fashion soldier
boy AS you well know, every
clothespin has head, body and two
legs. Paint a face on the round top,
and make little red soldier cap
which you can paste on his head. To
dress your soldier cut out and sew up
little red trousers, each leg separate
ly, allowing plenty Of goods to lap
over the waist, or rather where the
waist ought to be. Tie securely to
the pin. A coat of blue must be cut
straight and drawn tight around the
neck of the pin, or soldier, for he's
beginning to look something or some
body. A bit of white ribbon will
make belt and gun can be made Of
brown pasteboard. / knew of little

these soldiers. and played by the hour
with them. One was the captain.

POSTING the Map.

A firm of map publishers had en-
gagged a resident surveyor to furnish
them an outline drawing of a new
county that had been organized in the
far Southwest, with the principal wa
tercourses, lines of projected rail-
ways, if there were any, location of
the postoffices, and other points of in
terest and he had promised to ac-
quaint them with any changes that
might take place from time to time as
the county developed.
There came an exceedingly hot and
dry summer, during which one of the
streams utterly dried up. Thereupon
the surveyor wrote them the follow
ing letter:
Gentlemen: Agreeably to my
promise to keep you posted as to any
changes, typographical or otherwise,
in the map of this county which l
sent you several months ago, it be-
comes my duty to inform you that
Sugar Creek has entirely disappeared,
and may be erased from the map.
Yours truly,

GEORGIA'S INCOME and EXPENSE.
state is Nearly 100000 short for
the Past Year.

Atlanta, Ga.-The annual report Of
Comptroller General w. A. Wright
shows some interesting facts regard
ing Georgia's income and expenses.
The total receipts for 1908 from all
sources were $5,SSS,27S.16, as against
44,S1S, 764.S3 for 1907. The disburse-
ments for 1908 increased in even
greater ratio, being $5,570,295.51, as
compared with $4,797, 469,59 for 1907
The report shows that the 1908
session of the general assembly cost
the state more than any other since
the constitutional limitation of so days
each year was created. The 1908
meetings, including the extra session,
cost s1OS,721.02. This does no. include
approximately $4,000 as the legis.
1ature's share of the public printing
expenses.
While receipts from automobile
taxes more than doubled being 81, ASS
in 1905 as against $3.50 in 1907, there
was falling of of 5000 in the tax
on bicycle agents. One item Of $40
returned anonymously through an
Augusta preacher is credited to the
conscience fund.
The general tax for 1908 was
S2,963, 573.74, as against $2,478,227 81
for the preceding year. Graded oc-
cupation taxes upon corporations in
creased $4,000 over 1907. The near
beer taxes paid into the treasury in
A90S were only $4,000, though the re-
ceipts for 1909 from this source are
already more than 100000. The
locker club tax paid the state $14,-
$50 last year, more than half OF
which came from Savannah. The
1908 poll tax Melted $4,000, as
against S272,000 in 1907
The railroad and other corporation
taxes tad valorem) paid in 1908
amounted to S676,9149S, as against
only s3O6,S25.42 in 1907 This discrep-
ancy is explained by the fact that
several railroads did not pay their
1907 taxes until January, 1908.
Public schools and pensions consti-
tute the chief items of state expense.
Pensions cost about 100000 each
year. Public schools in 1908 were
paid s2,2O6,SS6.92, as against $1,667,-
1925 in 1907. Agricultural schools
received $1S9,O00 last year, as against
only $4,000 in 1907. Other routine
expenses increased only in compare,
lively small amounts.
