A INUNDATED MONKEY.


The leading male of troop Of mon
keys is the patriarch, commander-in-
chief and effective fighting force. The
natives of India call him Maharaja-
and properly so, for he is the type of
savage despotism. He uses his large
canine teeth to maintain his power
and to secure the lions share of every
thing, and is easily moved to a parox-
ysm Of rage. But the tyrant has his
tragedies, one of which is described
by ]. L. Kipling, in his Man and
Beast in India"
One morning there came monkey
chieftain, weak and limping, having
evidently been worsted in severe
fight with another of his own kind.
One hand hung powerless, his face and
eyes bore terrible traces Of battle, and
he hirpled slowly along with pathetic
air of suffering, supporting himself on
the shoulder of female-a wife, the
only member of his clan that had re-
NAMED faithful to him after his de-
feat.
We threw them bread and raisins,
and the wounded warrior carefully
slowed the greater part away in his
cheek pouch. The faithful wife, see
ing her opportunity, holding fast his
one sound hand and opening his
mouth, deity scooped out the store OF
raisins.
Then she sat and ate them very
calmly at a safe distance, while he
moved and chartered in impotent rage
He knew that without her help he
could not reach home, and was fam
to wait with what patience he might
till the raisins we're finished. This
was probably her first chance OF dis
obedience or of self-assertion in her
whole life, and l am afraid she thor
oughly enjoyed it. She led him away
at last-possibly to teach him more
,alutary lessons of this sort.

Oimculty Experienced by Man I'm
DispOsing of Theater Tickets.
The man who made an unsuccessful
attempt to give away new soverigns
on London bridge had two sympathiz-
ers In this city day or two ago, the
New York Sun says. A young man
was waiting for local in subway
station the other evening when a
stranger approached him and said:
l have been waiting for half an
hour for friend to go to the theater
with me. Apparently she isn't COM
ing and / don't want to go alone" He
produced pair of tickets and con-
tlnued, l should be very glad to have
you take these and use them yourself"
The young man drew out two tickets
of his own.
Sorry" he said, but I've already
made arrangements to CO." He was
conscious of an unreasonable aversion
to taking those proffered tickets. But
the stranger was insistent.
You're going downtown anyway"
ne said. Give them to somebody at
the theater. l don't like to see them
wasted" A train came in at that mo-
ment and the young man took them.
outside the theater he lived over
the experience of that stranger. He
approached four pairs Of men and Of
fered them the tickets. In each case
he was surveyed critically and his gift
was refused.
What's the matter with this town
anyhow" he asked himself, and then
ne remembered that he, too, had
thought there must be something
wrong with voluntary offer of thai
sort. But he made up his mind moi
to be outdone by the success that the
other man had had with him. He con
suited the doorman and assured him
self that the tickets we're good for thai
night. Then he went out on the side
walk and stopped two newsboys.
Want to go to the show?" hC
asked them.
"G'wan wild yer kiddin'," was thu
answer. But he was determined b,
this time. For five minutes he stood
there and argued with those urchin
and finally convinced them that he wa
not kiddin'. He told them to insist OF
getting their rights, and they sailet
into the house in jubilant spirits.
well, thank heaven, could con
vince somebody that wasn't a fake
just because offered something TO
nothing in this town." he remarked t.
himself as he hurried off to his owl
play.

DRY FARMING CONGRESS.

Plans Are Being Perfected for Great
Meeting at Spokane.
Plans are under way for the organ
ization of state associations to be
affiliated with the Dry Farming con-
gress which will hold its fifth annual
session in Spokane, October 3 to 6.
Texas and Utah already have state dry
farming congresses and Oklahoma,
Colorado, North Dakota and South Da-
kota have invited John T. Burns, secre-
tary of the international organization,
to assist them to organize this year.
The board of governors is preparing
plans to carry out the wishes Of the
states. The board also is urging,
through the executive committeeman
of the congress in other states, active
work along similar lines.
The work in Colorado has been car
ried on by c. R. Root Of Denver, exec
utive committeeman, and Professor w.
II. Olin, superintendent of premiums
and awards of the International Dry
Farming exposition. The farmers have
requested the board of governors to
send Mr.. Burns to Colorado early this
year to help organize that state.
"These movements in the various
states not only show the interest in
the work" said Mr.. Burns, tbut they
point to larger attendance at the fifth
congress than at any previous session. -

KASPARILLA

This sterling household remedy has
long been recognized as the best and
safest Blood Purifier, the most successful
prescription for spring humors and such
disorders of the blood as boils, pimples,
pustules, blotches, sores and cutaneous
eruptions. Kasparilla is admitted to be
the best remedy for that lack of energy
and the peculiar debility so prevalent
during the close of winter and the opening
of spring. For arrangements of the di-
gestive organs it is natural corrective,
operating directly upon the liver and ali
mentary canal, gently but persistently
stimulating a healthy activity. Its
beneficial influence extends, however, to
every portion of the system, aiding in the
processes of digestion and assimilation of
food, promoting wholesome, natural
appetite, correcting sour stomach, bad
breath, irregularities of the bowels, con-
stipation and the long list of troubles
directly traceable to those unwholesome
conditions. Kaspsrilla dispels drowsi-
ness, headache, backache and despond-
ency due to inactivity of the liver,
kidneys and digestive tract. 1t is a
strengthening tonic of the highest value.

of his last Thanksgiving in Alaska,

the best jokes he had in stock. We
laughed in the proper places, and
asked for more. Then we agreed to

glad about
