Simian Hugs Girls.

The other day as twenty work
girls came out of dressnaker's shop
in the Rue Boieau at midday an arm
encircled the waist of one Of them.
The girl protested Indignantly.
The too gallant intruder was well
dressed, but he was a hideous little
person.
The girls began making fun OF
him, when suddenly he caught hold
of one and put his face close against
hers. She boxed his ears. and he
dropped on all tours and bit her leg.
There was panic. The girls
rushed off shrieking. and two po-
licemen arrested the aggressor. The
creature was chimpanzee, the pet
of an explorer living near at hand
He was captured after struggle
and carried off by his masters cook,
who went to fetch him at the police
station, where he had spent the
night.
An amusing item of the story is
that the magistrate got very angry
with the chimpanzee when he was
first brought'in because he refused
to answer any questions. He was
highly indignant when told that he
was talking to a chimpanzee. His
honor, being near sighted, did not
know that.
