Monkeys are the most interesting Of all
animals because they are more nearly ike
people. The baby monkey acts IN many
ways like u little human. 1t chews its
fingers and learns TO crawl before it walks:
1t smiles when pleased and frowns when
displeased; it screams when in a temper
and groans If it is sick; 1t coos when 1t is
petted and cries II 1t is neglected. Mon
keys can be taught to dress themselves and
do all sorts of tricks. They can be trained
to do work Of light character. One man
has several that are expert fruit pickers.
Some one in observing them at work no
ticed that they slyly ate whenever their
masters back was turned. When spoken
to about It he replied that he knew It, but
was sure they didn't eat more than as
many boys would IL they had the Job. A
Florida man tried to teach t.. monkey to
walt on the table and succeeded in making
a most efficient servant out Of Jooko with
but two exceptions-he couldn't resist the
temptation to stop and tease the cat, and
he couldn't keep his fingers out of the

HARAHAN SHORN OF Ps9ER
Illinois Central President Practically
Supplanted by W. L. Park.
ALL HE HAS LEFT IS THE TRAFFIC
Gives Up Everything Else 60 Union
Pacific Man who Goes Into
Company as Vice
President.

That President Harahan is shoru OF his
power on the Illinois Central and that w.
/. Park, recently elected vice president and
general manager, is to have practically ell
tire supervision Of the road, is shown by
a statement recently issued by J. T. Itara-
han, who still holds the title Of president.
The statement says:
A q meeting Of the board OF directors,
held in New York on March Z. Mr.. W. l..
Park was elected vice president with head
quarters in Chicago, and as such vice
president he will have charge and super
vision Of the transportation, maintenance,
motive power, construction. purchasing and
pension departments of this company"
When all the above powers and depart
mCnts are given to Mr.. Park there Is little
left for the president to do, although Off
cials say he is still in charge Of traffic.
Mr.. Park will report directly to the board
OF directors instead Of to the president.
Thus the vice president exceeds in impor-
lance the president of tho road, which
makes q situation practically unprecedented
in American railroadlnE.
1t is understood a plan Is under foot to
Gust Harahan entirely and that the only
thing which ~ uo;ding back the board of
directors is n matter Of policy.
Tho accounting department will here
after report to Mr.. Park, although no men
ton Is made Of this in the statement of
Mr.. Harahan. ]. c. Stubbs, head of the
traffic department Of the Hartman lines,
has been brought into the Illinois Central
to look after the traffic department Of
that road, so it really looks as though Mr..
Harahan was completely shorn Of all
power.

III W. as Going to
Kill My Husband"

John Bell, 1910 Howard street, is a lucky
man. The premature discharge of a gun
In the hands of his wife saved his life.
Thursday night, Mrs. Bell, according to
her story, told Judge Crawford in police
court, she was attacked by her husband at
their home and was badly beaten. He left
the house, and, in his absence, his wife
got out an old shotgun and loaded 1t. When
she heard her husband approach on his re-
turn, she became excited and discharged
the gun before he entered the house, The
police were called and she was sent to the
station.
What were you going to do with the
gum" asked Judge Crawford.
Il was going to kill my husband" an
swered Mrs. Bell in an unconcerned man
ner. He beat me-gave me this black eye
and cut my head, and 1 was going to kill
him."
The court continued the case until Sat
urday morning in order that the husband
might be called to tell what he knew about
the matter.

The experiments and observations upon a
colony of monkeys, conducted recently by
the faculty members Of an eastern college
70 determine the quality Of reasoning power
possessed by the little slmians, nave re-
vlved the old controversy as to whether or
not animals think. Our most eminent natur-
alists are divided in their opinions on the
subject, and there are many stories in
support OF both sides of the argument.
A ships captain accidentally imprisoned
a large rat in a glass apartment in his
cabin, and, being curious to see Just how
recourcefui the mind OF the rodent would
prove In its dilemma, placed inside a
narrow-necked bottle filled with water. The
rat became vlsibly excited at the smell of
the liquid and ran around the bottle time
after time in an attempt to get at the
sorely needed water. Finally 1t backed up
to the receptacle, inserted it's tail in the
neck of the bottle, and then cautiously
Withdrawing the same, proceeded to lick the
moisture from It.
Another captain tells about having a pet
weazel on board his ship tbs was never
known to modest the poultry on board, but
Just as certain as they tied up alongside
other craft at the various ports where
they called, the weazel would so f~oraging
and cut every fowls throat that he could
reach. The same skipper says that he
raised a pair OF pigeons on board that
would always fly away as the ship APP
preached land, They would invariably de-
part before land was sighted and seldom
returned until the vessel was far out at
sea, Once they failed to join the ship, but
when that port was made again In about
six months, they were promptly on board
with a pair Of young ones they had raised
in the meantime.
A hunter tells about firing into a flock
of terms as they were feeding in the sea.
One of the birds fell into the water with
a broken wing. The tide was moving shore
ward at the time, and the helpless fowl
was gradually drifting into the cluches OF
the hunter, Imagine his surprise when a
couple OF its mates swooped down upon 1t,
each g~rasplng a wing in its beak, and bore
It seaward again. His establishment was
increased when the two plucky burden
bearers were relieved by another pair of
feathered rescuers, and still another, until
their home rock was reached in safety.
A southern lady had a most sagacious
canary that objected to cloth or paper
being pinned around it's cage. Whenever
a covering OF this sort was attached 1t
plainly showed its disapproval. Finally
It became impossible to keep a screen
I'm place around the cage. The wise little
songster found out that the pins were what
held in place the barrier that shut off its
view, so it proceeded to pull them out
with its bill. They might be hidden com
pletely. but after a little effort it never
failed to locate and promptly extract them.
A New England man furnishes al ac-
count OF how a small dog contrived to
secure vengeance upon a larger canine
that was in the habit OF worrying it. 1t
was noticed that the small dog was saving
n part of it's daily allowance OF food. The
boarding continued for several days until
quite a quantity had accumulated. Then

TEN-D0LLAR GOLD PIECE
WON'T FIT HIS PENNY BANK
So George HOaKIand, Jr., Receives
G~rRndpa's Birthday GIFT with
Little Comfort.

Little George Hoagland, jr., 6 years OF
age. son OF Mr.. and Mrs. Paul HoaglRnd,
is the grandson OF George Hoagland, the
rich lumberman. but If the little fellow is
to follow his grandpa to fortune he has not
yet laid his plans. His idea OF dollars and
cents in their relative value Il simple as
a 6-year-old boys mind is on most other
subjects.
Thursday George. jr,, reached the sixth
milestone in his little life. His proud
grandfather came around with his auto to
give the little chap a ride for a birthday
present. on the way he slipped the boy a
$40 gold piece, saying. George, here is $40
for your birthday"
The child scanned it incredulously for a
moment and then said:
why, grandpa, that won't do me any
good. My bank Won't take anything but

One Argument for

Thousand Dollars of Street Money is

Der and December, which was properly a
part of the street cleaning fund, has just
been covered into the sinking fund
There is one striking instance Of the
old fogyism in our city charter" said
Flynn. THAT money was coming to us,
and in a business-like system we would
have had had 1t for use when we were
practically lying idle, with snow piling up
on every block. Now, three months after
the close of the year, we are told Of It, and
1T is gone. Information like this, made
public through the press, ought to convince
our business men that the task of secur-
ing a new and up-to-date charter for
Omaha is one that should nave attention.

FARMING DAY AND NIGHT.


Steele Ozone: This is a great coun-
try. There is no limit to the activity
of man when it comes tt counting
hours of seasons. 1t has been Gus
tomary for the mechanic or trades
man to run nights to keep up or
catch up with his back work, but no"
it is the farming interest that puts
in the night in the field. Flowing
and seeding nights is not wholly
novelty in this state, although such
work has been done chiefly to keep
I'D with some contract. In Kidder
county this season more than one
traction rig Is planned for work. The
r'alconer gasoline pillow is ready for
business in the north part OF the
county recently. Marion Working. a
brother-in.law of l.. l.. FalcOner. who
runs the machine part of the time.
was at this Office for carbide for the
automobile lamps by which to run
the breaking rig. The first job will
be at the Frank Dowd place, where
the engine will haul nine sod break
err bottoms twenty four hours day,
in three eight hour shifts.
ne purchase of considerable
amount of land is based on the plan
of breaking up a large acreage and
planting to fax this spring. In
favorable season fifteen dollar land
can be paid for with present fax
prices, out of the sod crop, above the
expense of breaking and seed.
That is one reason for farming day
and night. Such is life in the great
west.

fixing up the streets make great
improvement in the appearance Of the

the difference it will make in not
only the appearance. but the value of
their property, there is little doubt
but that there will be a great deal
