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
! 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
MS pet.
One day Mrs. Freeman was planting
lower seed in a small patch of soaded
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 one alike in taste-and not
an altogether pleasant taste at that
-spat 1T 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.

came home, that monkey and I can
not live in the same family"

The effect on the health of the individual is obv-

1t is quite common occurrence for ten families to

The tenement house to-day breeds physical and

Of all the erroneous and harmful ideas
that young men and young women have,
the worst is the pernicious belief that col

University life is not an introduction to
life, but part of it, and most important
part of it. More and more, as the years

world, the stress is being laid upon the
trained mind, able to grapple with the
