A Paris contemporary dealing with
the love Of great men for animals
gives an amusing account of Chateau
briand aud his monkey. When he was
engaged In preparing Foutanes' works
for the press. on returning one day he
was met by his mUnKey.
"Ah. you rogue" said Chateaubriaud
"your shamefaced look tells OF mis-
chief" The monkey was chained up,
but as things did not appear much dis
turbed Chuteaubriund thought no more
Of the matter until 1t was time to re.
sumo work FOntnnes manuscripts
were not to be found
AT last Chateuubriand looked into
the waste paper basket. and there were
the manuscripts. The monkey had
watched bis master. and as he had
seen him fold sheet Of paper aud
tear II into four. so he had dealt with
Fontanes' writings. With much labor
they were pieced together aud after
ward published.
Chateaubriund thought II advisable
to see what else the monkey had done
His orders had disappeared from u
drawer which was always kept closed
The servants searched every where for
them. but they were not to be found
Nearly a week elapsed before they
were traced and then domestic no.
ticed that The monkey had suspended
them to the cornlce IN quasi-sym.
metrical way.
The monkey was given his congo,
and Chatbeaubriand replaced him by
cat. which was allowed place on
his masters writing table. and great
was the pleasure which he derived In
playing with puss.

Madeira was cannibal island and pre-

try to Intercept the said coins some
where between the top aud bottom OF

do Ii. but we tried and. as usual. found

seals. Some OF the divers were mere
children-poor. lean creatures who
stood up In their boats and shouted
and implored and swung their arms In
a Wild invitation to us to fling our
money overheard. But they did not
want small money-at least not very
small money. They declined 10 dive for
pennies. Perhaps they could only dis
tingulsh the CLEAN of the white metal.

REAL ESTATE INVESTMENTS

A New York paper, in tracing the
history Of valuable piece Of real es-
.ate In that city, finds that In 1906
the tract sold for $4,000. In 1874 IL
was sold under foreclosure proceed
ngs for $47,500. In 1852 It was sold
for 100000. In 1865 1t was acquired
for business purposes at a cost of
100000 by corporation which made
extensive improvements. The assess
ment of 1910 fixes the value Of the
land, exclusive of improvements at
$1,750.000. 1t is likely to be placed on
the market at an early date and prob
ably will sell for something like the
price of gold mine in active and
successful operation.
Similar instances of tremendous
increases in value may be found in
any of the large cities of the United
States. in fact, there Is scarcely any
city Of appreciable size which cannot
make a proportionately surprising
showing with respect to desirable
tracts of real estate. If the span OF
human life were longer a man might
invest very modest amount of cap
ital in real estate and go along about
his business with comforting assur-
ance that he would some day be a
millionaire. Inasmuch, however, as
! the hands of the clock of time may
not be turned back, the good things"
in reality investments are for those
who have energy and judgment and
who POSSESS or can command work
ing capital.-Louisville Courier Jour
nal.
