What became Of the Monk.

I went to the Abbeville Fair
Monks, Vendors and Beasts were there.
The Monkey he got loose
And over the trees trampooZed
And what became of the monk, the monk,
the monk, the monk,
The side show was the best Of all, the
show where the monks escaped from their
cages and took to tall timber.
On last Sunday morning under a serene
u and pleasant atmosphere the erstwhile
Carnival was about to HE away to Union
when some careless caretaker allowed sew
eral siamese apes to escape. The serenity
OF the sunday was at once cracked, frac-
tnred, and broken. A live monkey Looping
around on the Geography about the South
ern' Depot was a unique sight.
The monkeys took to the oaks and were
soon in their element. Colored boys climb
ed after the siamese and like Uncle Remus'
es bucket, when n went up the other
came down. Up went the darkey and down
came the monkey, but only to go up an
other tree, finally the old siamese that was
hardest to catch took the road toward
Longs ginnery with a bowling mob after
him including boys, dogs, men, women,
and children. There is no telling where the
procession would have stopped had 1t not
been met by an individual coming the 9TH
er way. On meeting this man Mr.. monk
tried to climb a telegraph pole but he had
become too civilized for the job and was
caught.

The Ten Cent 0leomargarine Tax.

Why did the Congress Of the United
States enact the present oleomargar1ne
law which provides for an internal
revenue tax Of ten cents per pound on
it to permit the butter producers Of the
country to exact a high price for butter
as has been claimed? To make such q
claim Is a pretty serious indictment Of
our federal law making body. OF course
butter Is higher in price than it was ten
years ago but so are other necessities OF
life. The percentage Of oleomargarine
now being put upon the market bears a
higher ratio to the amount OF butter con-
sumed than 1t did ten years ago. This
coupled with the fact that less than three
taxed at ten cents per pound proves that
the oleomargarine law has absolutely
nothiug to do with the price Of butter.
Congress enacted this law to prevent
fraud In the sale Of oleomargarine. The
law was never intended to prevent the
honest sale Of oleomargarine or to en-
nance the interests Of the butter pro-
ducers Of the country, but rather to pro-
tect the one against fraud In the purchase
Of butter or oleomargarlne and the other
against fraudulent competition.
Congress intended to compel the sale Of
oleomargarine in Its natural color (which
Is white or nearly SOY instead of in the
natural color Of butter (which Is yellow.
Congress at the same time reduced the
former tax Of two cents per pound on oleo-
margarine to one-fourth Of a cent per
pound when the product Is not artificially
colored to look like butter.
Congress used its taxing power to pre-
vent fraud in the sale Of oleomargarine
because it had no other effective means
Of accomplishing that result. When oleo-
margarine is put upon the market in its
natural color, thus making it impossible
to commit fraud, the tax Is n and three
fourths cents less per pound than under
any previous oleomargarine law.
The butter producers Of the country are
benefited by oleomargarine legislation
only in so far as the integrity Of the dairy
industry Is sustained a benefit which Is
shared by every other citizen. 1t is a
most important branch Of agriculture and
tits quite as essential to prevent the de-
struction Of an agricultural industry by
fraud IS it Is to prevent the destruction Of
u banking industry or any Of the other
Industries in which every good citizen is
Interested.
