A Wei Trained Monkey.

Paris is a favorite center for the
thief who uses animals as aeeomplices.
About a year ago a foreign looking
man, rather fashily dressed, entered
a jewelers. shop in the Rue de la Paix
and asked to be shown some rings. A
tray was placed before him, but he
asked for another. The shop attend
ant turned to get them. The a did
not move; but, as 1t happened, there
was a mirror In the opposite wall be
hind the counter, put there for the
special purpose of detecting thieves.
In this the attendant saw a tiny brown
head poked out of the customers peck
ct; then a long, thin, spidery arm fash
ed out, seized two rings and vanished
The attendant touched an electric bell,
which summoned help, and the man
and monkey were both arrested. The
man turned out to be a Mexican. BE

PUT BASIN IN
LEWIS STREET
Taks Care of Surface Water
From Pavement.

A receiving basin is to be placed in
Lewis street opposite the southerly end
Of Kearny avenue to help take care
Of the surface drainage from the lower
end Of Kearny avenue. With this pro-
vision made it is believed all obstruc-
tions to the city's manner of patching
up Deficiencies in the Lewis street
pavement have been overcome.
Deficiencies in both quality and guam
tity in the rough concrete on the Lewis
street job have been found by the city.
To remedy matters it has been decided
to place a layer of sealing cement and
then the customary mortar bed on top
to carry the asphalt blocks, should the
concrete now laid be sufficiently strong
after a test of two weeks. The add
tional layer of sealing cement would
elevate the entire pavement an inch
higher than was originally contracted
for and would decrease the curb height
to but three inches.
The slope of Kearny avenue towards
Lewis street would cause such a heavy
flow of water that two receiving basins
now in place there would not be large
enough to take in all the water accord
ing to Daniel A. Shirley, one of the
property owners who objected most
strongly the plan unless an additional
receiving basin was placed in front of
his home, which will now be done.

EXCELLENT SPEAKERS
AT SWEDISH CHURCH

At both the morning and evening
services in the Swedish C~ongrega-
tional church, in Gordon street, yes
terday, there were out-of-town speak
ers. In the morning Professor
Fridolp Risberg, D. D., of Chicago,
preached, and in the evening Rev. T.
Alex Cairns, assistant state superin-
tendent of the Anti-Saloon League,
was the speaker.
Rev. Mr.. Cairns, who spoke about
twenty minutes, gave a brief outline
Of the growth of the league and of
the local option movement through
out the country. Mr.. Cairns also
spoke of the ~lawlessness of the sa-
looms in this state, in which, he said,
they were more openly violating the
law on Sundays as compared with
other states. He also spoke of sell
ing of liquor to minora and made a
strong appeal to all to work for local
option, which, he remarked, Cover
nor Wilson was so much in favor it.
Rev. Alfred Dorf, of st. Stephens
Danish Lutheran church, who was
present, gave a short account of the
conditions in Denmark.
Rev. A. E. Elmquist, pastor, pre-
sided and at the close made a strong
appeal to-those present to assist in

"A Chinese coolie," said q mission
airy, will carry 107 pounds forty miles
a day over difficult and mountainous
roads. His pay will be ~threepence per

There is no porter on earth equal

"Salt, coal, calico, copper and tea
are carried by coolies thousands of

pounds, 800 pounds and 400 pounds, do

JUNIORS GET EVEN
WITH THE SENIORS

1mbued with enmity on account Of
the many knocks which were hand
ed them by the class of II in their
class day exercises, a party of Jun
iors decided to get square" AS
Gerald Barnes had invited the grad
yates to his home the evening Of
class day, the 1912 boys decided up
On the req as the best thing to
kidnap-as the historian of the class
of IL would call it. Since Barnes
had anticipated such an attempt,
tha cream was not In sight nor in
reach and SO no Kidnapping OF cream
was done. But determination of the
juniors Is not SO easily broken and
so they set about trying to find some
one of the graduates and to give him
their opinion of the class day re-
marks. After telephoning time and
time again, Russell Woglom, the sa-
lutatorian, was located at James S.
Wight's home, In High street. Pa
tiently the boys waited until the late
hour Of eleven o'clock and then Rus
sci came from within the house. But
as he came in sight of the 1912 boys,
another athletic figure vas see
marching along side of the salutato-
rian.
AS soon as the two had marched
a little distance from Wight's house,
two of the awaiting party jumped
on Russell and his friend. Terrified
because of the danger that might
come to his friend, who proved to be
a relative from Montclair, Woglom
exclaimed, Look out, do you know
who you are hitting there?" The
boy who held Rus" thought that
the other boys were mistaking their
man for a II man and so he let the
salutatorian go and told the others
not to harm their captive. 1t is
stated that when the two captives
were let free, both showed that they
were in form for some track meet,
for they ran SO speedily that in a
short time their figures were out of
sight.

BADLY BEATEN
IN ENCOUNTER
Rudolph Patrick Tells Police
About Fierce Fight.

Rudolph Patrick, of 676 Colgate
avenue, reported to the police last
night that he had been beaten in a
fierce fight at Hall avenue and Penn
street. He declared himself to have
been badly beaten and asked that the
city ambulance be called to take him
home. Officer Durham looked the
man owe but failed to find his condi-
ton SO serious as to necessitate a
call for the ambulance. The officer
questioned the victim and the latter
was unable to identify or tell the adj
dress of his assailant. He was then
sent to his home and given medical
attendance.
Details Of the fight could not be
learned. 1t appears, however, that
several men were engaged in 1stic
encounters about 10 o'clock which
later developed to be more furious.
Clubs are said to have been used.
No arrests were made.

An OYSTER Gormsndizer.

Our question would have received a
ready answer from a certain seven
teenth century worthy. Henry Has

tingdon, was the man. An invitation
to his parlor and the guest would have
met an oyster table where his host ate
oysters twice a day-wet or fne-from
Jan. l onward to Dec. 81. In other
respects he might be called "eccen-
tric." His great hall, for instance,
was strewn with marrowbones and
full of hawks perches, hounds, span
iels and terriers" and all his old hats

stuffed with pheasant eggs. When he

by one year. Oysters three times q

Tragic Story Of a Snake Charmer and
Her Pet Reptile,


Miss X, a snake charmer well
known among show people, firmly be-
lieved that one of her snakes was
really fond of her. She could do any
thing with it-fondle 1t, kiss and ca
ress 1t.
She grew so fond of it that at last
sheaeven let 1t sleep OF her bed, to the
great disgust of the other performers
In the show. She would eat her meals
with this horrible thing coiled around
her neck, and once, in very warm
weather, she took it under her coat
into the woods with her and let 1t
amuse itself by crawling ove the
ground. She followed it about and
kept a most careful watch over 1t Dit

showed no disposition to go of into the
woods, as she feared 1t might, but
.ame back to her and colled round her

She was warned several times that
The reptile was very dangerous, but she
grew more and more reckless, and the
snake appeared to become more and
more attached tosher.
And then one day without any warn
ing, directly after a performance when
she was caresstng 1t in her own room,
the snake suddenly threw back its
head, looked at her steadily and with
ughtning-llke swiftness struck her be-
tween the eyes, leaving two tiny pune
lures. She hastily uncoiled 1t and
thrust 1t into its box, but she died
within half an hour.-McClure's Maya

but certainly the one that had q most
amusing termination was her firta-
ton with her fathers chaplain, Jerry
White.
One day the protector surprised Jer-
~ on his knees in the very act Of
kissing the lady's hand. Cromwell
coldly demanded the meaning of the
scene, and Jerry, with a pretty wit,
exclaimed that be had long been
counting that young gentlewoman,
my lady's woman" although without
success. He was now thereby humbly
praying her ladyship TO intercede for
him.
Cromwell turned at once to the wait
ing woman and requested to be In
formed why she refused the honor his
friend, Mr.. White, would do her. The
young woman. fully equal TO the oc-
casion. replied magnanimously that If
Mr.. White intended her that honor she
would not be SO churtish as TO deny
him. Call Goodwin" returned Crom-
