MONKS IN CHICAGO PARK
MEET IN A REUNION
Queer Stunts Are Done by
Little Animals

Chicago, Dec. 19. - Ohicago's
strangest family reunion occurred in
Lincoln park. 1t was the day for
installing seventy-odd monkeys, some
direct from Africa, and other taken
from a New York park, in the simian
cages. =,
THAT monkeys recognize old ac-
quaintances and blood relations as
human beings do, there can be no
doubt, declared Cy de Vry, keeper.
when we turned the newcomers
into the big cage there was hurry on
the part of the old residents to look
the strangers over. At once there
were strange recognitiohs. Several
pairs of monkeys, with glad cries,
dashed up to one another and em-
braced affectionately, some even
kissing as they wound their long tails
togethered and chartered.
Several of the African monkeys
found new arrivals which had pre-
viously been kidnapped by animal
seekers in the Dark Continent. The
new monkeys are now quite at home,
the strangers having been introduced
around and shown the privileges and
restrictions of their new home"

HUBBY Will NOT SPEAK
Silent Treatment Administer
ed TO Wife

Atlanta, Ga, Dec. 19.-The pic
turesque and perennial divorce calen-
dar of Atlanta records this morning
the description of an entirely new
form of cruelty alleged to have been
practiced by husband on his unhap-
py wife.
Mrs. Marie Clayton tells the supe-
rior court in her petition that when
her husband decided she needed dis
ciplining or punishment he applied t
by giving her the Silence cure" just
as the West Point cadets apply it to
unpopular clasmen or professors.
She says that for the deliberate
purpose of hurting her, her husband,
Ernest D. Clayton, would go for days
and sometimes weeks at time with
out addressing single word to her,
and without making the slightest re-
sponse to any remark she made or
any question she asked him.
This treatment, she says, ended by
driving her almost crazy. She says
that on the last occasion Of his lone
silence he broke it at the end; OF /

sensible thi.oS she could do would

Because He Wasn't q Man
Worth a Sacrifice

New York, Dec. 19.-For the sake
of her husband, "if he were the right
sort of man." Mrs. Eleanor Acheson

D. McGill, president of the Hudson
County National bank, would cheerful
ly give up today her share of her
fathers $1,2O0,OOO estate and his
residence on the Heights overlooking
Jersey City.
But the young woman declares that
the young army surgeon she welded
and is now trying to divorce isn't the
right sort, and so she will obey to the
letter the injunction of her father, ex-
pressed in his will and will keep away
from DIR. Carr, thereby keeping her
three-fffths of the estate
DR.. McGill expressly provided in his
will that his daughter should receive
but $1,000 a year from his estate in
case she returned to her husband.
But there is no chance" she said
today, that l will lose my share of
the estate, for under no circumstances
will l live again with Dr. Carr. love
him, of course, or l never would have
married him; but | will not live with
him again. | will live apart from him
and SO inherit my fathers estate.
"Of course, if DR.. Carr had been a
different man, would cheerfully sac
rifice my fathers estate, but as he
is I cannot do this even for him"
DR.. McGill's daughter eloped and
married Lieutenant Carr in March.
1900. He is a son of DIR. William P.
Carr, of Washington. Last June
Mrs. Carr sued for a divorce in Wash

Nitro GlyCGfinG

If Americus is to have a safe and
sane" Christmas, thed ynamite fire
cracker and equally deadly toy pistol
must be eliminated from the list of
useless noise-makers, say the city au-
thorities. There is a city ordinance
prohibiting the firing of any cracker
charged with dynamite or nitro-glyce-
rine, or which is more than two inches
long. 1t will be rigidly enforced
Many accidents hace ocucrred
here from the reckless handling of
these dynamite bombs, as it frequently
occurs that careless or malicious boys
will throw them at the feet of ladies
upon the street, to their imminent
peril.
Some varieties of the toy pistol will
Mot be allowed. These seemingl.'
harpless weapons may be loaded with
smah pistol cartridges and thereby
prove q deadly weapon. In Columbus,
it is sahd,, two or three people have
been painfully wounded already in

 And Kitty, who had not let go the hand of D'Artagnan, led him up lit tie dark winding staircase and after ascending about fifteen steps opened a door.
 "Come in here, M. le Chevalier," said she. Here we shall be alone and car talk safely"
 "And whose chamber Is this, my pretty faced friend?' -
 .'It is mine, M. le Chevalier. Il communicates with my mistress by that door. But you need not fear kase win not hear what we say. She Sasver goes to bed before midnight" 'DArtagnan directed his eyes to the door.
