4 HUMIIIATED MONKEY.
The Crippled Old Despot Was Made to
 Feel His Mighty Fall.

The following amusing story is told by J. l.. kipling in his Man and Beast In India of the humiliation of a mon- key whom physical disablement pre- vented from maintaining his despotic position as leading male of the troop:
 "One morning there came a monkey chieftafn. weak and limping. having evidently been worsted in severe fight with another of his own kind. One hand hung powerless. his face and eyes bore terrible traces of bat tie. and he hirpled slowly along with a pathetic air of suffering. supporting himself un the shoulder of a female a wife. the only member of his clan that had remained faithful to him aft CT his defeat
 .We threw them bread and raisins, and the wounded warrior carefully slowed the greater part away in his cheek pouch The faithful wife. see ing her opportunity. holding fast his one sound hand and opening his mouth. deftly seooped out the store Of raisins. Then she sat and ate them very calmly at safe distance. while he moved and chattered in impotenr rage
 He knew that without her help he could not reach home and was fain te wait with what patience he might till the raisins were finished. This was probably her first chance of disobedi- ence or of self assertion In her whole life. and l am afraid she thoroughly enjoyed It."

Honor to es.Goveruor Mclean.

Massachusetts was finally made the seapegoat by ex.GoVernor Mclean in his bright and effective retoft to Mayor Gayner concerning Gonnecticut's blue laws. The mayor of New York, in A split Of drellery, had enliyened a speech by quoting the first of the twelve scapital laws adopted by Connecticut in le42, the law reading as follows: eIf any man after legal conviction shall worship any God but the Lord God he shall be put to death. ' Mr. Mclean then said:-
 But if Mayor Gaynor had added that this Jaw, and the other eleven capital laws, were copied verbatim from the Massachusetts code adopted In i64l, and that Massachusetts in turn took them straight from the scrip tares, the effect might have been less startling and the laughter produced less derisive, for in the wide fact he was making fun of nothing but his Bible. Again, II the mayor had been an xious for 8 climax and had eompar- ed the history of Connecticut and Mas sachusetts, which Is almost without stain, with the history of fammany Hall and Albany from Tweed to Sen ator Aids, it might have occurred to him that blue laws are better than no law, the Old Testament better than no testament and the Lord God better than no God
 The defense of Massachusetts, as we'll AS of Connecticut, was very graceful and satisfactory, and the former gov. ernor deserves to be elected 10 the United States Senate. - Springfield Republican,
