summer months. When the cool days
OF the fall came his business fell off, and
he discontinued his walks and his melo-
dies. An Irishman CT his acquaintance
offered him 10 cents a day for the privi-
lege of keeping and feeding the little
beast. The bargain was made for a
month. Great curiosity filled the mind
OF the Italian, and at last, unable TO re-
strain himself, he went ostensibly to see
his pet but really TO find what possible
use Pat could make Of monkey. The
Irishman was frank. at is loike this, "

the liquor problem would be solved IN
less than a decade. Chickering's never
won victory except for the opposition.
They who insist upon picking a quarrel

ment with the enemy, are not true friends
of the temperance cause. The stiletto Is
