Wv tation Is all the monkey has. In
terential limitations are not among his
mental equipment Physiologically he
is closely related to the greatest mind
the world has ever known, but that Is
where the wise man stops in his
drawing of parallels.
Such are the conclusions of Prof
w. T. Shepherd, of George Washing
ton university. He has had dozen
assorted monkeys Gagged in the labora
tory of the university for months
trying to get from any or all of them
what a layman would designate a
CLEAN of intelligence.
These little copies of the human
being were invited to do dozens OF
stunts such as trained animals are
taught, but the professor made nc
effort to compel them to learn them
He simply made conditions such that
if they had had any reasoning power
they would have been able to figure
out way of doing the desired stunts
without any further assistance from
him. But not one showed what to
the professor would be evidence of the
reasoning power. Not one showed
capacity to watch the professor do a
certain thing and then do it himself
because he liked the result.
Not one of them, for instance, was
able to trip the lever that released a
peanut although the professor showed
them often how to do it. All, however
held forth dirty paws begging for the

"Bandits" Seal Promise with Kisses

Tell me, now, what would you call
him?"
The biggest boys lips framed the
words:
"A thief"
And in that way Clerk Harper,
listening attentively, knew that the
boy had pleaded guilty. Each of them
did, for that matter.
The judge ordered the middle-sized
youngster to step around and kiss his
mother and ask her to forgive him,
and to understand that he would
never, never do it again, and would
have nothing to do with the Dirty
Dozen.
The middle-sized boy sulked. The
spirit of the proud rover of the Span
ish main told him that to kiss a WON
an in court, even his mother, was a
puerile thing to do.
Kiss me-" whispered the mother.
The boy still stood debating with
himself
do you want to go to the reform
school?" thundered the Judge.
And then the proud rover of the
Spanish main turned and fed, and
the erstwhile dirty digit became his
mothers little boy again, and was
caught in a loving pair of arms, and
tears ran down the faces of the boy
and his mother and several other
women who were in court.
And the other dirty two had to
kiss their fathers, that the ends of
justice might be met.

President and Speaker in "Hoe Down

honors of fancy steps were even. The
dancing followed the dinner.
The dinner ended, the company
went to the east room, which boasts
an ample and smooth dancing floor.
An orchestra played a gentle waltz
and the president led off with Mrs.
Joseph H. Gaines, wife of the repre-
sentative from West Virginia. The
speaker, with Miss Laughlin. sister
of Mrs. Taft, glided out on the pol
ished floor in the wake of his chief.
Then the dance was on.
In the intermission, however, when
the orchestra struck up lively tune,
Uncle Joe stepped briskly into the
middle of the room and brought his
heels together sharply. There was a
patting of gloved hands and voices
called encouragingly to the guest Of
honor. In a moment the speakers
heels were swinging in brilliant
highland fling.
Excellent, eh?" he called, exulting-
ly to Mr.. Taft II was something Of
a dancer when 1 was youngster."
For answer the president stepped
smilingly forward, and those who
were present say the two executed
several steps of an old-fashioned hoe
down" that delighted every one. Both
were putting when they finished.

w been reduced by three. Judge De
Lacy did it when he bade three very
small boys, accused of stealing cigars,
pipes, milk and bread, to kiss their
parents and promise never, never,
never again to try to emulate the
Forty Thieves or any other bad people
and to turn back to the owners of
the property three dollars and some
cents to compensate for the loss.
"And remember" said the judge,
keep away from the gang you call
the Dirty Dozen. If you must have a
gang, make up one of good compan-
ions, who will teach you something
that will do you some good"
Judge De Lacy has way of making

The biggest boy hung his head and
twisted his cap and wanted to sink

TRAGEDY ~ NUPTIALS.

Wounded at Altar, Bridegroom Kills
Father of Bride.
Houston, Texas.-As the priest was
about to complete the ceremony that
would have made the daughter of
Stephen Pace the wife of Salvatore
Guiffre, Pace broke into the church
and shot at Guiffre three times. The
third bullet wounded Guiffre and, ly-
ing at the foot of the altar, he raised
a gun and inflicted a wound on Pace
from which he died three hours later
in a hospital.
The spectacular attack threw the
wedding guests into an uproar. Par
tisans of both men were about to en-
gage in battle, knives flashed and guns
were drawn, when the cool-headed
priest and the plucky girl, who was
almost a bride, raised their voices.
The priest sprang to the chancel rail
and chastised the crowd that had be-
come a mob Instantly the tumult
died down.
With blood flowing from his wounds.

MEN STILL OUT.
Settlement of Philadelphia Strike Still
AS Far Off AS Ever.

Philadelphia.-Al Although several
conferences have been held by the in
termediaries interested in securing a
settlement of the strike against the
Philadelphia Rapid Transit Company,
the officials of the company and the
leaders of the strikers appear to be
as far from reaching an agreement as
when the men left the cars almost a
month age.
w. D. Mahon, the president of the
Amalgamated Association of Street
and Electric Railway Employees, stated
that the idea that the men would be
satisfied if the company reinstated the
173 employees whose dismissal precipi-
tated the strike. was a misconception.
He said that the union would not be
a party to any agreement that did not
properly protect the men in their or
ganization.
The committee Of ten having charge
of the sympathetic strike continued
its preparation for a statewide strike
and announced that it had received
further Endorsement from all parts of
the state.

Believes Monkeys Do Not Know Much


The professor is satisfied that the
monkeys have no memory of things
in the sense that they are able to call
up picture, place, person or thing.
There is no question that they are
able to recall having seen a person
when that person stands before them.
In other words, they are the equal of
any of the domestic animals in that
respect.
He can not even subscribe to the
Darwin belief that they have imagina-
ton, such as Darwin thought dogs
have because of the evidence before
him that dogs dream in much the
same way that human beings do.
Professor Shepherd did not enter
upon the experiments with a view to
a theory advanced by another, but
simply to find out for himself the
mental capacity or want of capacity
of the lumenoids available for his ex-
perimental work. The professor is
convinced that when monkey
SCI ulO 1lCdO1 FClJ 40 N
man does when he is perplexed, it is
no evidence of thought on the part of
the monkey. His idea is that it is a
purely physiological phenomenon, per-
haps due to the similarity of construc-
tion of a man and a monkey.
Another thing the professor feels
warranted in saying is that the mon
key is not any more initiative than
many other animals. He shows that
monkeys that have had merry-go-
round in their cages, that revolves
when they jump on it, will continue to
jump on q contrivance of that kind
that is fastened so that it will not
revolve and continue to go through
the motions necessary to make prop
er merry-go-round perform its proper
functions, just as if the first trial had
produced results.

moned by the neighbors.
Death in each case had been caused
from deep wounds made by some
blunt instrument The dead were
piled in confusion in a corner Of a
little shack in Houston Heights.
Neighbors became suspicious after
hearing no noise or seeing none of
the family about the house for sew
eral days.
The murders evidently occurred
Friday. The little home was locked
and bolted and the windows latched
down. Nothing was found in the
room that would suggest a hand-to-
hand battle between the men, but
the similarity of the wounds tends to
show all were killed by the same per
