There Was No DueI.-Colonel Cri:

There Was No Duel.-Colonel Crisp
when in the Missouri legislature was
one of the central figures in a scene
which promised bloodshed, which end
ed in a hearty laugh and which was
the cause of an astounding remark
from Hon. John w. Farriss, the then
speaker, said Champ Clark. Crisp and
another member got into a debate
which grew into a quarrel. They snook
their fists at each other and roared like
a pair Of Numidian lions. Everybody
expected and many hoped to see reg
ular old fashioned knockdown and
dragout fight, which expectation and
hope were frustrated and dashed to
the ground by Speaker Farriss re-
marking:
IF you gentlemen do not quit fuss
ing and take your seats / will order
the chaplain to take you into custody,
which so amazed the bellicose legis-
lators that they stood in a state 81
lingual paralysis, while the spectators
laughed till they were red in the face.
Humor saved the day.

Explained.-Prof. Robert Herrick OF
the University Of Chicago desired to
point out to young sonneteer the diff
ference between the words 'astonish''
and surprise"
Noah Webster" Prof. Herrick said,
was once caught by mis- wife in the
act of pressing the hand of the pretty
cook.
"The cook, blushing like rose. fled
at once to her kitchen. Mrs. Webster
said in a sad, tremulOus voice:
why, Noah, l am surprised.
But the philologist, from over his
glasses at his wife. answered reprov-
ingly:
Madam. you have not studied our
glorious language as you should. It's
I who am surprised. You are aston
ished."- Record.

MONKEYS POST SENTINEL.
Fight Under a Leader and Roll Stone.
Down ON Their Enennies

Aesop's ape, 1t will be remembered,
wept on passing through a human
graveyard, overcome with sorrow for
it's dead ancestors, and that all
monkeys are willing enough to be
more like us than they are they show
by their mimicry.
An old authority tells that the
easiest way to capture apes Is for the
hunter to pretend to shave himself,
then to wash his face. fill the basin
with a sort Of bird lime, and leave
it for the apes to blind themselves.
If the Chinese story Is to be believed,
the initiative craze is even more
fatal in another way, for if you shoot
one monkey of a band with a pois-
oned arrow, its neighbor, jealous Of
so unusual a decoration, will snatch
the arrow fired and stab itself,
only to have it torn away by a third,
until in succession the whole troop
have committed suicide.
In their wild life baboons as we'll
as we'll as the langurs and many 9TH
er monkeys. undoubtedly submit to
the authority Of recognized leaders.
There is cooperation between them
to the extent that when fighting in
company one will go to the help of
another which is hard pressed.
In the rocky ground they roll down
stones upon their enemies. and when
making a raid, as on an orchard
which they believe to be guarded, the
attack is conducted on an organized
plan, sentries being posted and
scouts thrown out, which gradually
feel their way forward to make sure
that the coast is clear. while the main
body remains in concealment behind
until told that the road is open.
From the fact that the sentries
stay posted throughout the raid, get
ting for themselves no share of the
plunder, it has been assumed that
there must be some sort Of division
of the proceeds afterwards. Man,
again, has been differentiated from
all other creatures as being a tool
using animal, but more than one
kind of monkey takes a stone in its
hand and with it breaks the nuts
which are too hard to be cracked
with the teeth.-London Times.

fafsrsst Sasatsa in Good Music
And WHY?

1t is a notable fact that more people
are today taking far greater interest
in the better class of music than ever
before, and 1t is also true that there is
cause for this rapid development.
What is It? We believe 1t Is almost
wholly due to the far-reachins and
elevating effects Of the Phonosraph.
Think for one moment Of the advan-
tage. The Edison with Mr.. Edison's
latest invention-the Amberol Record
the longest Record in the world, and
the price only Soc. And the Victor
the greatest disc machine made-with
music from 35c. to $500.
Now for pecember-Listen! "The
Garden Of Dreams" a song duet Of
rich, old fashioned beauty and "Bach's

ira, Sousa's Bands adds new life to the
