tory which very often lead to another
anecdote. AS. for instance:
THE monkey family as a whole is dl-
vided into two classes. One class has the
prehensile tall which enables them to use
it as means Of holding on. This class is
to be found mostly in South America. Tne
other class has not the prehensfle tail,
but is provided with a pouch directly
under the chin, and which is used as a
sort Of cupboard. This he will always
fill before satisfying his appetite. we
had funny experience with one OF our
monkeys in connection with this pouch
4 x
''He got nut in his pouch and was un-
able to dislodge it. Some time passed be-
fore became aware Of its presence there
and. when did learn Of 1t, found it was
too late to remove 1t without an opera
ton. We took him out Of the cage and
,anced the pouch, removing the nut with
out any trouble Then / seWed the cut up
and he was put back in the cage SnoTuy
afterward 1t was noticed that ne mao
peculiar effect upon the other MONKEYS
and upon examination l found the cause.
He had taken the stitches out OF hie
pouch. which left the cut OPEN Inus
equipped he became first-class magician.
He would pick up q piece or straw wal
a nice bushy end. poke it through the cut
and apparently into his body. Then ne
would open his mouth, draw the straw
out and display it proudly before an awe
stricken audience made up Of both people
and monkeys. Nothing we could DO would would
sisa no could get hold OF would pass
through the cut in his pouch. Finally l
removed him and fed him on soft fo1o

the strange appearance Of at least two OF
the varieties Of monkeys to be found IN
the collection. On this point the keeper
has sorne interesting information whicn
he is willing to impart gratis.

future visitors 1t might be added that
Knappa has to his credit Twenty-Five UNI

incontrovertible argument.

And vet il is only fair to add that
Knappa is a pleasant little fellow, and
generously minded people have been good
enough to say that they got their moneys
worth even IL the price was a perfectly
good hat or umbrella. Then there are
those who feel hurt. One OF the latest
victims OF this fr0iicsone little monkey
was a policeman. He supposedly went

Some argument might most probably be
gotten up with regard to one Of the speci-
mems In the collection. This is men,
Der Of the Barbary Macaque species. and
a visitor at the Zoo was overheard to say
the other day that he considered him the
s'prettiest" member Of that species he had
ever seen. AS he generally has tousled
look from sliding on his ear, that being
a favorite pastime of his- 1t is open 10
dispute.
The monkeys are as yet occupying their
winter quarters. Inside the house. Their
summer houses are on the outside. and
during the summer months they have the
use of both the inside and outside. That
is to say that those monkeys on one side
of the house have, as on the other there
are no outside cages. This will soon BE-
remedied. though as Supt. Baker OF the
Zoo takes much pains to make the mon

for the occupants, and work is now being

cages for the others. II things go as IL

STATUE OF DR.. MURPHX.

Copying Il portion OF the circular
letter issued by the Patrick Living
ston Murphy Memorial Association
(recently printed 10 this paper OF
which DR.. X IL Lewis and Judge w.
A. Hoke of Raleigh, are president and
vice-president respectively y, DIR. John
McCampbelI of MOrgantOu, DR.. Muir
phys successor as superintendent OF
the w, Hospital, is secretary,
and Mr. f. NJ ScrOggs, Morganton, is
treasurer, the Statesville Landmark
makes this comment:
This is a conservative statement on
the work and worth of DR.. Murphy.
His master!uI ability, his guiding
hand as manager and builder,
made the MOrgantOn institution one
of the most noted in the country
the pride of the State and unrivaled
i'm the South. 1t is indeed fitting
that his memory should be honored
in the manner suggested and the
people of the State will do themselves
honor in promptly subscribing the
small sun suggested-S5 900 to So
OoO-for this purpose.
DR.. Murphy gave his life to the ser
vice of the States afflicted and no
son of the State is more deserving OF
honor.
