REACHED LIMIT OF PATIENCE
Woman Had Put Up with a Lot, But
Last Trick of Monkey Was
Too Much.

George F. Freeman no longer owns
a monkey. He did until a short time
ago. The simian was a pet for Free
man, and a pest Of his mother. Al
though she loathed the creature she
tolerated its presence on account of
the attachment between her son and
his pet.
One day Mrs. Freeman was planting
flower seed In a small patch of spaded
ground in her back yard. The mon
key had watched with interest the
preparation Of the ground for the
seeds. When the planting came his
curiosity grew as the work progressed.
Following Mrs. Freeman as she
thrust the small sweet pea seeds into
the ground and covered them over
the monkey dug up each seed, but it
found each n alike in taste-and not
an altogether pleasant taste at that
-spat it out and moved on in the
wake Of the planter. Mrs. Freeman's
back was turned to the monkey until
She finished the last row, then she
turned and saw the results Of the
animals campaign in the place where
she expected flowers to bloom.
George" she said, when her son
came home, that monkey and I a n
not live in the same family"
The monkey has a new home now

Men in the audience covered the fam
ing children with their coats, and pre-
vented serious injury in some cases.
Little Dorothy Clay was the unwit-
ting cause of the catastrophe. The
little girls had formed In a circle.
and had drilled back and forth In
their white muslin dresses. the audi
ence gathering enthusiasm as the pro-
gram progressed. Then the lights
we're extinguished and a candle in the
hand Of each child, flashed out. The
aunts, mothers, fathers and playmates
in the crowd cheered and applauded
so enthusiastically that Dorothy grew
frightened, and dropped her candle.
The flame leaped to the white muslin,
and in a twinkling five dresses were
aire.
Mothers fought to reach their chill
dren, veritable small bonfires on the
platform. The children, in pain, made
frantic efforts to Chamber over the
footlights to those to whom they
looked for succor.
Little Louise Marshall, a screaming
rocket, leaped over the footlights and
into the lap Of her aunt in the audi
ence. Men in the audience then
smothered the flaming clothing. AL
bert Clay, foreman of the Central City
foundry, is father Of both the children

ANTI SWEARING VETOED
Wisconsin Governor Refuses to Make
Profanity, Under Sufficient
Provocation, illegal.

Madison, Wisconsin.-The inalien-
able right of a citizen of Wiscon-
sin to use profanity under sufficient
provocation is not to be a~brogated
with the consent Of Gov. Davidson.
He believes a person may sometimes
be so situated that it is practically
impossible to refrain from sulphurious
remarks.
The governor vetoed the Hull bill
prohibiting swearing in a public place
under a penalty of a $25 fine or 30
days IN Jail, or both fine and impris-
onment. A~ssemblyman Hull, the au-
thor of the bill, will try to pass 1t over
the veto.

The dearest, gathers; and her last
Farewell bestowing comes to cast
Them on the mound of Memory
With martial step and roll OF drum
What spectral host Is this, that comes
Between the gates that guard the deadf
Haste they to seek the willing bed2
Impatient Is the grizzled head
OF daisied pillow? Say not SO!
While yet their Winter passeth slow
Here blooms perennial their Spring;
And here the pledge of Hope they bring
And Love-that dieth not, bestow.
Where once their heart of youth was fair
us rich norescence, white and red,
upon the field Of strife to she'd
Folded, the petals that remain;
The morning glories of their youth
That dropped not in the midday drought
Have shut on Peace: as to a stem
Stripped bare, the banners cling-of them
All, hath the beauty vanished-vain
Their glory to invoke again.
About the feet of these that stand
Beside the headstone, hand in hand,
Who once were foes-their children kneei
And break the close turf's emerald seal,
To let the sweet rain find the roots
OF grass and flower. and the shoots
OF rose and myrtle bid to grow,
That, DER the dust in love entwined.
Shall breathe upon the Summer wind
Sweets from the mold they bless below
All, let the banners come and go
For old remembrance; dip them low
Above the Dead that dared and died.
God noweth who are justified.
About His Work He moveth slow;
The roses fall, the roses blow
He will not h~asten-tho' we flood
The Earth with our impatient blood
Nor that avail. of all we shed.
To paint one rose a deeper red.
Nor needs the Rose, IL of the clay
Beneath, the tint be blue or gray;
Nor Love, while human It's to err,
Shall be Truths hard interpreter.
Plant nothing over me. that keeps
My heart apart from him that sleeps
AS faithful In his narrow bed
AS 1 in mine shall; with the Dead
The Dead are reconciled-nor we
Dare break their hallowed amity.
Plant then the myrtle; blue and white
Its flower. as Southern suns delight
To deep its tint-or Northern SHOWS
To blanch its color; plant the rose
Both white and red-and for the stars
The periwinkle; fade the bars
OF separation; stripes as red
AS the one blood their fathers shed,
Bring we, and bind the Peace that saves
In unity, these sacred graves.
The Flag! their sacred heritage,
Their children's children shall engage,
Their sponsors in a new baptism
For them to cherish; let that chrism
On their dead brows descend. and bless
The ancient bond of faithfulness
With its renewal; SO shall we
March onward to great destiny;
Nor one untoward memory stand
Between us, In the Motherland.

passed away with the lapse of time,
Then the majority of the people of

The memories of the great struggle
