Causes Others to Fight.

Those two monkeys were really
frightened TO death when that hap
pened," said Snyder. land l decided
that the offender would have to be
separated from them. SO 1 put her in
the cage with two larger monkeys
the kind hat would not stand TO be
kidded."
For just about a week Judy was
meek and demure, according 10 the
keeper, and then she began slyly
pOking Jack. n of the big monkeys
in the ribs every chance she got, and
in a way to throw suspicion on Shocks
the other big monkey. Pretty soon
Jack and Shocks came TO blows. and
they had nearly finished each ether
when they discovered Judy laughing
at them, and realizing that she was
the mischief maker. began buffeting
her. This beating did not spoil July's
sense of humOr. however, and things
came to such a pass that Snyder had
to put JUDY in a Gag by herself. 1t
was either that or death for the hu-
morist.
This did not cure her" Snyder
went on. Instead of pining she got
TO laughing at the other monkeys, to
their great annoyance. Judy like any
other kidder, found that her laughter
annoyed her companions. So she kept
il up and their efforts TO get away
from the sound OF her giggling or TO
reach and claw her only added TO her
merriment. Some time ago Judy
made the discovery that constant star
at an animal will first annoy and
then anger the subject. Since then
she has been making things unpleas-
ant for the rest of the monkeys.
Judy will pick out a monkey she
wants TO get a rise out of and give
him a continual once over Wh@t
follows is worth study. In every re-
the monkey stared at VIII act
would a human being under the
same circumstances. The subject
will first wriggle. just as will a per
son YOU stare at in a subway train;
then will follow a chattering Outburst
of anger. as though the other were
saving: What are YOU staring at?
and then Judy just laughs and laughs
and laughs"

This MONKEY IS
KEEN HUMORIST

NEW YORK. Dec. 22.-BM Sny-
der. head keeper in the zoo in Central
park, was entertaining some friends
in the playhouse back OF the elephant
inclosIre one afternoon when the door
opened and Patrick keenan,. keeper
of the monkey house projected him
self into the room.
Bill" said ne. breathing hard.
Judy is AT il again"
Snyder had been r%ecounting the
weekly budget OF happenings among
the charges. and ne was peeved at the
interruption.
Why didn't you drop the curtain ."
he asked.
IL did" replied Pat. but she's
peeping arOund it,"
Observing that his audience was
mystified by the conversation. Snyder
explained that Judy was a South
American monkey that had developed
a sense Of humor.
The MenageFie Joker.
Judy" Snyder continued. 'is the
greatest kidder we nave in the menag-
erie. Her only real rival up here is
Bob Hurton. of the lion mouse. She
sees fun in everything and she laughs
in enjoyment just as human beings do.
At first judy confined her enjoyment
TO simply laughing at what went on
1900 49, AAN@ 1AAt ~ ~ 80 AA6
jokes and creating embarrassing sit
uations until she became the bane of
our lives"
Judy was brought over from the
monkey house. She appeared to be
a healthy animal with as vaudeville
stars used TO sing. "a naughty little
twinkle in her eye" She has been in
the zoo more than a year. The first
indication that she possessed a sense
Of humor. according to the truthful
Snyder, occurred about a month aft
er her arrival. when Pat discovered
her laughing heartily at the antics of
a monkey that had lost a tail, and.
not realizing hat it was gone, was en-
deavoring 10 hang by it from a perch.
When Judy began playing praC-
teal jokes she was in a cage with two
others of her kind. She used TO do all
sorts Of things to them, n literally
kept their goats tied up" to quote
Snyder. Judy was larger than her
cage companions and she suffered no
punishment from them for her
pranks. The climax Of months of
worry in the monkey house came
when she obtained a few yards of
string and tied tive Of her companions
together by the tails.
