The Unfortunate Monkey

Recently in one Of our large cities
an Italian took his hand organ and
monkey and went around on the
streets and in public parks entertain
ing great crowds Of people. The monk
ey was an initiative little creature and
was quick to mimic whatever took
place before him. This caused much
comment. AT first the people strong.
ly condemned the antics OF the monk
ey. Finally, their cOndc soft
cncd into pity, for they said that the
monkey had no genius, no inventive
faculty, no power to originate any
thing, and IL he did not initiate he
could do nothing. So people laughed
at the little creature from the for
est and decided to see how far his
inclination to initiate would lead him.
One man hung upa mirror, procured
soap, brush and razor and shaved on the
street. The monkey closely watched
ed the operation and when the man
had finished shaving he laid the razor
down and had hardly turned his back
oNA'i1 NhS h''hNVy tiS iuSC
and began to shave. But soon, to the
horror OF the crowd, he cut his throat
from ear to ear.
In all the walks OF life there are
men who, like the monkey, have no
inventive faculty. They must imi,
tate or remain inactive. But some-
times to mimic, to initiate, is as
dangerous for men as for monkeys.
Years ago KrOpf Brothers, out of
the generosity OF their hearts, origi-
mated and inaugurated their annual
church donation sale. This sale has
attracted wide attention and has
made Others sit up and take notice.
1t takes brains to originate; monkeys
can only i'm itate. Tne firm OF Kropf
Brothers is now shaving. If some
other firm In making an awkward at
tempt to initiate should cut their own
throat they will have only themselves
to blame.-lt

Was Shot to Death.

J. Pink Bouknight, aged 81 years,
was shot and killed by Will Collins, a
negro, IN the Dutch Fork section of
tbs county at about 1 O'Clock last
Tuesday morning. In the last issue
of The Dispatch it was stated that
Mr.. Bouknight had died suddenly at
his home.
It seems from what can be gathered
that Will Collins was thought to have
been the person who set fire to the
barn and stables of Mr.. Joel Fulmer a
few weeks ago, and instead of allow
ing the law to take it's course, a party
was made up to visit the home of the
negro. Arriving at the home of Col
Inns, the negro was repeatedly asked
TO come out, and upon refusing to do

ed the way. When he had gotten into
the window he was fired upon by the
negro, the entire load from shotgun
taking effect in the upper part of the
stomach.
The negro is said to have rushed out
through the same window in his night
clothes. He was fired upon by the
posse as he ran off in the darkness,
and while it is stated by the officers
that Collins escaped and is still alive,
it is generally believed that he was
lynched and his body thrown into the
river. Collins wife escaped without
injury, but one of her children was
shot in the back.
Mr.. Bouknight was hurriedly car
ried to the home of his brother-in-law.
Mr.. Fulmer, where conveyance was
secured to carry him to his home, but
he expired on the road after the most
intense suffering.
Magistrate Wallace E.. Lorick, of
irmo, conducted an inquest over. the
body of MIR. Bouknight, the verdict of
the jury being that the deceased came
to his death by gunsho5 wound in
the hands of parties unknown to the
jury.
The remains of Mr.. Bouknight were
laid to rest in the silent city of the
dead at Shady Grove church on
Wednesday afternoon.
The deceased leaves wife and a
large family of children.

Would Fit In Other Places

Mr.. Peterson is inclined to the belief
that our mild and innocent reference
to the census in these columns last
week was a reflection on his efficiency
as an enumeration In the atmosphere
to which we have become accustomed
during the last census crusade much is
expected of both the newspapers and
the census enumeration. In any COM
munity where the census fell off or did
not make as much of a gain as public
sentiment demanded, the newspapers
were expected to insinuate that the
enumerators had missed from one-half
to two thirds of the inhabitants, and
the enumerator, responding to the
demand to civic loyalty and in consider
alton of the three cents apiece paid for
those citizens actually found by the
double checking system and other sys-
TENS too numerous and complicated to
be here described, was expected to look
wise, foolish, injured or outraged, but
not boiler. In Brookings public senti-
ment demands showing of about one
thousand above the official returns, and
the Press is willing to go so far in cater
ing TO this public sentiment of the COM
munity it lives to serve as to insinuate
that the official returns have not been
padded. Mr.. Peterson thinks Brook
ings ought to be well satisfied with a
gain of some seven hundred in ten
ten years when our sister college city
of Vermillion showed gain of only
four during the same period. He has
no sympathy with the public sentiment
above referred to, and much prefers to
defend his ability to count accurately
up to three thousand. Without the
cooperation of the enumeration the
Press refuses to play the game, and
the census question is hereby closed

A Good Showing

The First National bank of Duluth
stands first in Minnesota and seventy
second in the United States on the rol
of honor prepared by The Financier,
a journal devoted to financial matters.
The bank hes jumped from ninety third
to seventy-second among the 1000
national banks of the country this year
and the gain is considered phenom-
email one.
As Duluth stands only sixty-ninth
among the cities of the country in pop
ulatiion, and the larger cities have
many national banks, the position Of
the FIRST National on the roll of honor
is an enviable one. The gain in posi-
ton represents gain in surplus and
profits to capital of 1925 per cent in
one year.
Chas. A. Hazen, president of the
Financier Publishing company, writes
to the bank:
ANY bank that has jumped from
No. SO to No. " among the 1000
national banks of the United States on
the Forthcoming roll of honor, and has
made gain in surplus and profits to
capital of 1925 per cent in one year as
yours have done, surely ought to be
proud of the record.
''You should be proud also of the fact
that you stand first in Duluth and first
in Minnesota, in respect to the percent
age of your surplus accumulation to
capital.
There are prominent banks through
out the country which would be glad to
pay thousands of dollars to occupy your
position on the roll of honor, but posi-
ton on the roll of honor cannot be
bought-it must be earned Duluth

above mentioned bank is the institution
of which David Williams, president of
the Farmers and Merchants National
bank of this city, is vice president.

late him on the showing.

WILL VETO STATEHOOD BILL
President Taft Opposed to judiciary
Recall Feature.

Washington. Aug. 1O.-President
Taft will veto the New Mexico-Arizo-
ma statehood resolution as passed by
the senate. Democratic leaders of
both house and senate declare, how
ever, that they could marshal enough
votes to pass the measure over veto.
The president indicated some time
ago that he would take this action
unless the Nelson amendment was
adopted. This amendment would have
required the people of Arizona, as a
condition of statehood, to vote down
the provision in their constitution for
the recall of judges. The amendment
was defeated and the senate passed
the bill as it came from the house,
simply requiring that vote be taken
on the recall feature.

Water Climbed Ladder

Whether Henry Krause's ladder and
pail are now being used by some China
man or not he does not knew but he is
very sure that it has a good start
toward the Celestial kingdom. Mr..
Krause lives in Melrose township about
eight miles north of Milbank. Last
Saturday he made up his mind to clean
out his well. The well is twenty seven
feet deep and Mr.. Krause put down a
seventeen foot ladder and large
wooden pail, there was not drop of
water in the well-it was dry to the
last inch Krause worked at cleaning
it out on Saturday but did not fms h
the job, he quit Saturday night and
intended to finish the job Monday
morning. When he looked down into
the we'll Monday things did not Hook
right. there wasn't any ladder in sight
but there was plenty of water. Upon
examination he found there was IL
feet of water in the well and the ladder
and pail had completely disappeared
and no trace of them has yet been
found. A horse power gasoline
engine has been put at work pumping
out the water but thus far failed to
lower it an inch. The only solution OF
the mystery is that there was bed OF
quicksand in the bottom of the well
and in cleaning it Mr.. Krouse opened
up the bed and not only swallowed ur
the ladder but it lot up subteranear
supply of water. Grant County News
