Jordan stared incredulouSly. 1t

twenty minutes Harlan owned the

MONKEYS AND GUM.
Strange Method of Catching the AMI
mails In Tropical Countries.

In tropical countries the natives
have many unique ways of catching
monkeys. One of them. as explained
by traveller, is this: The hunters
walk about in short boots in sight of
the monkeys. Then they take the
boots off. place some gum in the bot
toms and leave them on the ground
withdra wing themselves to Il great dis
lance. Presently the monkeys come
down from the trees and try on the
boots. and when the hunters come
after them the boots stick 10 the feet
of the monkeys and they are unable
to climb. Thus the initiative little ami
mails are captured.
