The firemen thought the bull was
angry, but this was great mistake,
it was merely foolishly fond, as Otis
had taught it to be, of red shirts. The
first fireman it caught lost his red
shirt in about minute, and before
the bull had swallowed it the parade
had stopped parading and was dis
persing hastily, shedding red wooden
shirts as it went, until Main street
glowed red, like a field of battle.
The bull uttered a few joyful ex-
carnations and started in at one end
of Main street. eating red wooden
shirts, and ate to the other end. 1t is
believed he ate sixty-four red wooden
shirts, mostly double-breasted, brass
buttons and all. At the end of the
feast he contained more wooden shirts
than any shirt store west of Chicago
and north of ST. Louis. and the last
thing he did was to sigh a deep sigh
of content and lie down on his back
and stick his four legs in the air. Otis
says the bull died of joy, but Doc
Weaver, our talented COW doctor, says
the cause of his death was eighteen
dozen brass buttons in the vermiform
appendix. +.

White House recently marked some
thing of an epoch, for not before in
many years has a president enter

Cannon was never entertained at the

ferential 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 no
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
lllul. buL uOt OIlc SIlOW0u Wudl "
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
peanut. Not one even made what the
men who study mental phenomena
call trial in error.
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 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 magma
! 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.

But the bull was rather expensive
It had become passionately fond of red
hay with a wooden shirt odor, and
any one who has ever tried it knows
how costly it is to bleach hay and de-
odorize it, and then dye it red and
impregnate it with otto of wool. So
Otis decided to drop the red hay diet
gradually, for the bull was cured. He
cut down the bulls ration of red wool
hay, and cut it down, until he cut it off
entirely, and it was then that the bull
began to show signs of uneasiness and
wistful longing BY the sixth of May
the bull was showing loss of appetite
and high temperature, and the sixth
of May was the annual parade day of
the BetZville f1remen, when the three

Relentless boys lined up in front of

the bull followed the fire CON-

diately what he set about doing, but
he saw that love for red would have
to be sown in the Calls soul gradual
ly. He would have to connect the idea
of JOY and red in the calf's mind. So
the first thing he did was to think
what gave the calf Joy, and hay
seemed to give the calf about as much
Joy as anything. So he got some hay
and died it red, and put it before the
calf, and the result was not what he
had expected. The bull calf swelled
up with rage and danced on the hay
ferociously, and for six weeks it
would not even look at hay. Even the
smell of hay threw it into commissions.
So Otis had to begin all over again,
and he began by getting some hay and
boiling it until all the hay odor was
boiled out of it, and then he bleached
it and dried and offered it to the calf,
and the calf ate it with every evidence

next lot of hay Otis boiled and bleach
ed, and then put the slightest bit of
pink dye in tub of water and dyed
the hay a pale, pale pink. It was so
slightly pink that it was hardly a tint.
And the calf ate that hay joyfully.
After that every load of hay Otis de-
odorized, he dyed a little pinker, and
a little pinker, and gradually he intro.
duced into the hay an odor of wooden
shirt, and he kept making the hay
redder and redder, and the wooden
shirt odor stronger and stronger until
the hay was as red as the fire COM

same. And the calf would eat hay
Greedily with Joy. By that time the

Believes Monkeys Do Not Know Muc

Professor Shepherd did not enter
upon the experiments with view to
establishing theory or to disprove
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-
detrimental work. The professor is
convinced that when a monkey
scratches his head, very much as a
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-
ton of a man and 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 a 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 it's proper
functions, just as if the first trial had
produced results.
In other words, they are not able
to think it out that the jumping is a
waste of energy, even If instinct or
something else tells them that con.
trivance looking like that should re-
volve. They know enough to come in
out of the wet-at least they do come
but the professor does not believe
the coming is anything more than
instinct.
Hereafter the experiments will take
another trend. The animals will be
! trained as they are in animal shows

studies will be killed when it seems

VANITY.
The sun comes up and the sun goes down,
And day and night are the same al
one;
The year grows green, and the year grows
brown,
And what is it all, when all is done?
Grains of somber or shining sand,
Gliding into or out of the hand.
And men go down in ships to the seas,
And a hundred ships are the same as
one,
And backward and forward blows the
breeze,
And what is it all, when all is done?
A tide with never shore in sight,
Getting steadily on to the night.
The fisher dropped his net in the stream
And a hundred streams are the same
as one,
And the maiden dreameth her love-lit
dream,
And what is it all, when all is done?
The net of the fisher the burden breaks,
And always the dreaming the dreamer
wakes.
