face when his master speaks to him as though he were a spoiled child.
 He can't stand unkind treatment said Monsieur Drowisky, when I was chatting with him about the monkeys characteristics and disposition. Tt nearly breaks his heart when I speak sharply to him. It hurts me, too.'
 How long have you owned Alfred the Great?" I asked.
 T got him from Southwest Arrica," was the reply, "when-he was only Il months old, and he is now nearly 5 years old. He's never had any other trainer but myself"
 Have you always been interested in animals?" I asked.
 I've been an animal trainer all of my life," said Monsieur q was for 16 years a lion tanner, and then I be- gan training monkeys. I trained Con- sul the Great-the most famous monkey in the world. He's retired now and lives in London"
 You must be a very wealthy man judging from the figures I've deducted from the earning capacity of Alfred the Great"
 Monsieur smiled and acknowledged that he had an ample fortune and meant to add to it from time to time--in fact, every week.
 And while we were talking Alfred the Great was perched up in chair dressed in the most modish of clothes, and ready for his appearance on the stage.
 He stays with me at my hotel,' said Monsieur Drowisky, glancing at his pet. "Ee eats with me at table and sleeps in my bed with me. He brushes his teeth and takes bath once a week whether he needs 1t or not"
 Ahem
 Well-as 1 was about to say--er-er-
 What does he like to eat?"
 "Sweets-principally, was told. He likes vegetables, but the thing that appeals to him most is his cigar after dinner"
 T suppose he prefers the best per fectos," l suggested.
 He's as good juge of a good cigar as any man I know said Monsieur Drowisky. His clothes are all made by first class tailor, and as he stands five feet. six inches, he makes a pretty fine figure. He weighs 75 pounds. and his shoes are No. 12-boy's size. His pajamas are also size 12."
 Alfred the Great is a thoroughbred Chimpanzee," he continued proudly. He belongs to the Ape family and not to the Baboon tribe. He is very tenn permental and highly aristocratic, and his habits are as clean and as whole some as the incest person you ever saw"
 Alfred the Great is a pronounced brunette-I don't suppose there are any blonde monkeys-and he has very charming manners, and it Is really won- derful how nearly he resembles folks.
 All the time I was chatting with Monsieur Drowisky I was wondering who in the name of wit it was that Alfred reminded me of
 Presently 1t came to me-yes-I aknow exactly who he's like and-and then my Darwin came back to me in full force and ''The Origin of Speciesn and "The Descent of Man" reminded me that perhaps after all we ARE just monkeys--once or mayby twice re- moved.

Minister Needs Stereopticon

several years have done missionary work among weak churches, at very low salary. Consequently I am poor. I am now in charge of a small church in a little hamlet where the gospel could be preached to large number of people could I possess a stereopticon with sufficient power with which to give illustrated sermons.

There's "some monkey business about this monkey, Alfred the Great, who is the Toplner round at the Majestic this week.
 Don't you feel your insignificance when you think of the measley little salary you draw each week in comparison to the nice, crisp, clean. cool $500 week that is handed over to Alfred the Great?
 Aren't you sorry you aren't monkey?
 But
 Maybe you are--only you are not accom- plished and clever like Mir Alfred, and haven't any histrionc talent and can't get any "Bookings' to show you off.
 Anyway, when l was told of the big sal ary that MT. Alfred draws, I got out my little arithmetic and did some figuring, and this Is what l deducted
 Salary, $50o per week.
 Fifty-two weeks in the year.
 One years salary, $26,ooo-more than the President of big Railroad or a bank. or a Steel Corporation gets.
 And think what he gets 1t forl
 He works 10 minutes at each show"
 There are three Shows day.
 That's a half hour a day-all told. 
 So-
 We have Daily Work, 30 minutes.
 Daily Salary. sS3 s.
 Reduced to minutes, Alfred the Great earns s2.77 every 60 seconds, which is more than the average man makes a day
 The average life of a Monkey is about 5 years, and multiplying one years salary by five we reach the figure of his earning capacity during a lifetime. which is $i30,00o.
 His life, by the way, is insured for S50Ooo.
 Goodness, Gracious, Mel
 My brains in a perfect muddle.
 l haven't done that much 'rithmetie since l was little bitty"
 There's hardly Railroad Magnate, or the President of the United States, who travels in greater luxury than Alfred the Great, and certainly no Star on the stage is treated with more consideration than he is.
 His Dressing Room Is fitted up sump- tuously, and the mirrors and dressing tables and all the accessories for his make up'' are as minutely arranged as though Margaret Anglin or Ethel Barry more-Mr John Drew or MT. Henry Mill ler-meant to occupy it.
 Alfred the Great owes his cleverness and success to his owner and trainer, Monsieur Alfred Drowisky, brunette gentleman of swarthy skin, big black eyes, raven hair and Swiss origin.
 The friendship between this man and this monkey is really one of the most touching things in life
 The Monkey hangs on Monsieur's words like the bee upon the honeycomb, and fawn or a grimace, a laugh or a tear, comes as easily to the poor little animals

Bears Out Prophet of God

.All these things, therefore, through the telescope of prophecy. make the events to the Seventh Day Adventists and to all the world as well of special interest. as the movements of the na- tions is fulfillment of that which the seer of God so many years ago said would take place. Having said, on the strength of the word of God. more than 60 years ago, that the Star and cres- .cent' would go down, and the srea. ottoman empire como 10 It's end. they watch with interest the present war being waged. Every step which is seen In the far east is a finger board point ing in the direction to which the prophet of God said events would trend.
 The Seventh Day Adventists have never been time setters. They do not pretend to know just when the great movements will be made that will finally bring the battle of Armageddon and the close of human history: but in these events they see step in the full Ifllment of tho prophets word. And what makes it of further interest is the fact that the very next verse that speaks of the plotting oiN of the great ottoman empire says, And at that ime shall Michael stand up. the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time. And at that time they peo- pie shall be delivered. every one that shall he found written in the book.
 This is the next event in this line Iof prophecy. The prophet had been speaking of other kings, rulers. who stood up. These have all fulfilled their part in the drama of earth's history and passed away. Turkey Is now enacting her place in the final stages of this act and when she goes down forever. when her possessions are all wrested from her and when she at last plants her capital in Palestine, 1t will be the signal that the end of all things is in- bending Then the time of trouble such
