CATCHING MONKEYS.
How These Lively Quadrupeds Are
Made Captives.

The monkey is easily taken from
his native lair. He is curious, and
this curiosity costs him his freedom.
In Africa and India the monkey is
found in greatest numbers. This is
how his captor goes after him.
AS soon as he reaches the woods
where they abound he places a piece
of sugar in an uncorked glass bottle
and leaves it beneath the tree in
which the creatures are perChed. The
neck is just large enough for the
monkey to get in its claw unclasped.
But when once the sugar is grasp2d
the animal is far too greedy to I'M
clench it's paw, with the result that
it remains a prisoner until captured
with a net or stunned with club.
Some trappers make the monkeys
drunk They march into that pOr-
ton of the forest where monkeys
are numerous, carrying with them
a bottle of sake. Sake is a sweet
drink, but highly intoxicating, pre-
pared from the fermented juice of
rice When the trappers come across
a tree sWarming with simiGns they
halt close by and pretend to take a
drink from the bottle. After leaving
the bottle on the ground they walk
away. The moment trapper turns
his back they will make a rush for
the bottle he has left behind. They
drink untilt he bottle has not sus-
piciOn of moisture remaining in it.
When the trapper returns he finds
the monkeys lying about helpless,
and it is then easy to bundle them
into cage.
The endeavor to make the big
monkey drunk will not result in sue
cess. The gorilla, for instance, has
too much sense to initiate a man.
1t is exceedingly difficult to capture
gorilla alive. Very few trappers
have succeeded in doing so. Many
menageries claim to possess a goril-
la, but then it is so easy to rename
large babOOn

DESTROY GREAT FALLS?
Feared That GeOrgia's Scenic Beauty
Will Be No More.

Is Tallulah Falls, one of the great
est scenic wonders in the country,
doomed to destruction as a tribute
to COmmercialism?
A great power company has COM
menCed work on the falls to con-
struct a power plant which will con-
vert the water pouring over the fall
and down the gorge into power,
which will be sold to Atlanta and
other cities and towns in Georgia.
1t has been the contention of the
developers that this work would not
destroy the falls, but others say diff
ferently It is the intention to con-
struct mighty dam above the fall,
and the water will be diverted
through a specially constructed canal
several hundred feet around the
falls and gorge through which it
pours.
1t is contended that this will COM
pletely dry up Tallulah Falls, and
that the greatest scenic spot in the
state will no longer be of value IS
such. 1t is said that the power COM
pany will spend several million dol
lars in this development.

CHINESE COTTON IN GEORGIA.
Ancient Variety Will Be Experiment.
ed With at School of Agriculture.

For purposes of practical expert
mentatiOn DR.. r. j. H. DeLoach.
professor of cotton industry in the
school of agriculture, University Of
Georgia, has just received a dozen
small lots of seed of Egyptian and
Chinese cotton, the twelve lots rep
resenting as many varieties of the
staple which are produced profitably
in those countries and find ready
markets at fancy prices among the
manufacturers who seek these rare
varieties for special manufacturing
purposes.
The lots embrace, among other
kinds, the famous Nit Aft, the Ash
Mount, and the Yovanovich. There
are represented among the lot both
the Egyptian varieties so much
sought after by fancy millers.
Through a friend in China DR.. De
LOach has received also two small
lots of seed from the growers in
China-sent by the farmers who Sc
lected the seed direct to Hong Kong
and then to Athens. They are of the
ancient Herbaceum variety, the orig
inal Indian cotton that was carried
from China to India nearly a thous-
and years ago.

WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT IT?
Would You Be COmplimented If a
Woman Called You a Donkey?

An All Sorts correspondent who
has been puzzling his poor brain over
the following question, says a Boston
paper, throws up his hands in de-
spair and slips it over the plate to
US:
Not long since, while calling on
young lady, she and l became in
volved in an argument as to women s
hats. maintained that they are alb
surd and ridiculous, while she de-
Tended them with spirit, and because
l did not agree with her views she
called me a donkey. Should | con-
slider it a compliment or otherwise
to be called dOnkey?"
Let us look at this question in a
sane, safe and conservative manner,
my dear sir. Let's consider it with
out bias or prejudice.
Any fair-minded man must admit
that the donkey is a most patient
beast. He will bear haVy burdens
upon his back; he will eat poor for
age without complaint; he will stand
hitched until he is called for; he will
o4CSp On INC DdlS SAOuAQ.
The donkey possesses a sober and
equable character; he is not given to
excuses of any kind, but plods Sc
renely through life, doing his mas
ter's bidding and serving in every
capacity to the best of his ability.
The donkey is wise and thoughtful
and spends much of his time philoso-
phizing deeply or silently contem-
plating the scenery from the pasture
as ever and anon he switches a pesky
fly from his flank with a def wallop
of his tail.
In our opinion you should consid-
er that when the young lady called
you a donkey she paid you a high
and delicate compliment, and if you
failed to say thank you" you made
a big mistake.
1t is not too late yet, however, to
show her your appreciation of her
high estimation-send her a bunch
of violets or a box of bonbons with
out delay. And the next time any
body calls you a donkey consider it
complimentary don't get swelIed
up and chesty.

QUEEN wILHELNrENA's GOATERY
Will Raise BiIlies and Nannies on
Ranch in North Georgia.


Formerly in the reduction of the
ores of the Ducktown copper basin
in north Georgia and Tennessee the
Tennessee Copper Company and 9TH
er large smelters used millions of
cords of wood, to supply which the
vast acreage of forest wilderness in
their immediate vicinity was denud-
ed and everything used except the
dead and rotten trees useless for this
purpose, which were left standing.
This old forest area has in the
last few years put on magnificent
aarpet' of velvety grass, and being
well above the cattle quarantine
lines available for pasturage and
grazing, is capable of sustaining
thousands of head of cattle, sheep
and goats.
To emphasize the Importance of
Ehis subject, and the attention this
territory is attracting, recently a
Dutch syndicate headed by Queen
Wilhelmina Of Holland acquired a
vast acreage of grazing pasture lands
IN the neighbOrhood with view to
establishing an Angora goat ranch
on a very large scale
1t will be remembered that the
irst herd of Angoras ever brought
40 America was presented to DR.. Jas.
B. Davis of South Carolina by the
sultan of Turkey, and consisted of
nine head.

DEMOCRATS WILL PASS IT
Defeat OF SOUTHERN CLAIMS
BILL SAID TO BE TEMPORARY.
Extra 50, OOO, 900 Appropriation for
War Claims Must Wait Until DEM
ocrats Control in House.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-The dem
ocratic sixty-second congress will be
charged up with an extra $4,000, 900
appropriation for war claims as the
result of the action of the house
committee on claims today in killing
the omnibus claims bill for this con-
gress. The bill, which had already
had passed the senate, is largely
made up of claims from the south on
account of depredations during the
civil war, and there are many pro-
visions in it for individuals.
When the bill, which President
Taft recently urged, reached the
house the claims committee appoint
ed a subcommittee to inquire into
the whole question, and they deliY-
cred a mass of historical details. The
full committee today decided to post
pone indefinitely any action on the
matter, the announced explanation
being that the calendar of the house
already was full, and that there were
many more measures pending than
possibly could be put through at this
session. Chairman Prince of the
committee stated there was no an
tagonism to the measure, but that it
was impraCtiCable to load the calen-
dar of the house.
The addition of about 100000
for French spoilation claims by the
subcommittee caused a lively ses-
sion in the committee and finally
defeated the proposed legislation
The democratic members contend
ed that if the French spoilation
claims were to be taken care of that
should have been done long ago in
stead of saddling them onto this gen
SratiOn.
On a yea and nay vote the bill was
defeated.
The democrats say the bill will be
passed in the next congress with the
French spoilation amendment elimi-
mated

MOST BEAUTIFUL WORDS.

NOhCl SOulSSts
A contest to decide the twenty-five
most beautiful words in the English
language, conducted by the West
Fifty-seyenth district branch of the
Y. NJ. c. A. in New York, was won
by John Shea, a lawyer.
The prize was a flexible leather

Twenty-one of the twenty-five
words submitted by Shea were &C
Cepted. The words are:
Melody, splendor, alteration, elo-
quence, virtue, innocence, modesty,
faith, joy, honor, radiance, nobility,
sympathy, heaven, love, divine, hope,
harmony, happiness, purity, liberty.
Three of the words rejected were
grace, justice and truth.
The two former were stricken out,
it was explained, because of the
harshness of the g in grace and the
in justice. The word truth was elm
mated because of its metallic sound.

nArloNAL ELECTION RESULTS.


Democrats and republicans strug-
gled desperately for supremacy in va
rious states Tuesday and indications
are that the democrats got the bet
ter of the arguments, although losses
were sustained in New York and
Maryland. The first loss was due to
statewide aversion TO the corrupt rule
OF Tammany Hall in the legislature Of
New York, while Maryland went wrong
because of disclosures of rottenness,
in the democratic machine. Good dem
ocrats regret the loss Of Maryland, es-
.pecially as it resulted in the defeat
OF Arthur German, who Is regarded
as an even cleaner man than his
father, for governor; but they do not
regret the fact that rottenness has
been exposed.
On the other hand, old Kentucky
climbs back into her proper place in
the democratic column; Massachu-
sets rejects a rael democrat as
governor; and New Mexico, the new
state, is right, and the spirit Of
independence and determination to Sc
cure honest government was demon
strated even in Philadelphia
The general result indicates demo-
cratic success in the presidential cam
paign. Even though the democrats
suffer loss however it is evident that
the progressive element of the repub-
lican party will prove the dominant
factor in national politics for four
years to come and a progressive re-
publican is a democrat in reality af-

DRY failed. and SO did the newspapers.
In their struggle for circulation they
first reduced the price Of their three
cent product to two cents, then to
one cent, then to nothing. For many
months copies have been given away
by thousands in desperate effort to
catch the public favor. It was a los
ing game, and now the plants of both
have been sold to the publisher OF a
newspaper in the city who has PROS
pered because he understands human
nature.
It is sometimes said that people in
general are always eager to get
something for nothing" That depends.
Nobody wants to pay for air and sun
light. which are flee gifts o. Natura.
but nearly everything else costs
somebody something, and in the ex-
change of products the balance is
preserved only by payment. We lost
our self-respect-or, at leag,, ";
ought to-when We accept gifts with
out making some sort o. return, even
if it is only gratitude. We really prize
only that for which we give an equiv
alent.
So the free newspape,s became a
drug on the streets Of Oklahoma. They
cost nothing. Hence, in tae popular
mind-whether logically or not-they
we're worth nothing They came 10
rank with tracts, leaflets an / palaph-
let's that are thrust upon the public.
The public knows that the produc-
ton Of a newspaper costs money. 1t
is willing to pay a fair price for any
product, and it objects to beins tTear-
ed like a pauper.-Boston Globe.
