Initiating Her Elders.

Sister and brother, neither of whom
has reached the mathematic stage,
were playing the other day on the
lawn at their home in Twelfth street,
says the Indianapolis News. The
brother had great respect for his sis
tiers knowledge, for she went to
school He looked forward to the day
when he should become a pupil and
grow wise.
Il think" he said, when June is
gone it will be cooler"
Then suddenly:
when will June be gomez"
The little sister attempted to an
swer, but, evidently fearing to lose her
brothers admiration, she placed her
hand on his shoulder, and with tone
of mild surprise she said:
why, David, you ought to know
that"

OUR OLDEST ENGLISH HOUSE

Data duly recorded in the records
of Princess Anne county, Virginia
show that the main portion of the old
house shown in the illustration was
erected in 1910 by Adam Thorough.
good Adam did such a Thorough
good job that not brick has been
loosened by the elements in that stout
old wall since it was built 273 years
ago. 1t is without doubt the Oldest
house Of English construction In
America. The builder came to Amer.
lea in the year 1926, 10 years after
jamestown was founded. He was an
influential man. both in England and
IN America, and was granted large
tracts of land on the southern shore
Of Chesapeake bay, and this old house
is on portion of the original grant
from the English king. Loop holes
in the end walls and dormer windows
in the roof enabled the occupants to
observe the approach of individuals
with hostile intent. and the thick
walls afforded ample protection from
attacks.

FAMED APES OF GIBRALTAR

Travellers to Gibraltar are always
on the lookout for the famous apes of
the rock. the only wild monkeys in
Europe, and will be interested to
learn that their threatened extinction
has been averted.
Until about twenty-five years ago
these monkeys held undisputed pos
session of the upper part of the rock
and were seldom seen; but when the
fertilization on the summit was be-
gun the animals spread to the lower
levels and were one of the sights of
the place. One locality. Bruce's Farm.
they avoided for years. The story is
that long ago they became very trou-
blesome to the owner by rafding his
fruit garden After various expedients
to get rid of them had failed, some
one caught young monkey and tying
it to tree left it to starve to death.
This cruelty was resented by the
band. which, II is said, carried away
the dead body and never afterward
approached the place.
Ten years ago there were fifty or
sixty apes on the rock, but many were
shot or trapped, and three years ago
only three old females were left to
represent the stock. When this came
to the knowledge of the commandant
he issued orders for their protection,
and imported from Morocco a male
and four females; but the three old
females attacked and soon killed the
newcomers. A second experiment was
equally unsuccessful, but in 1911 a
third male was obtained. who fought
his way into the good graces of the
old females and became the sire of
several young monkeys that will now,
1t is expected, replenish the stock.
Unfortunately this sire became SO
dangerous. viciously attacking the
people who would befriend him, that
he was lately condemned to be shot
| The sentence, however, was COM
muted to Imprisonment for life in the
London Zoo, whittier he was trans
| ported on a battleship and where he
now dwells in an admired captivity in
Regent Park
| The Gibraltar ape, which is not a
true ape. but a macaque, is especially
interesting to zoologoists because OF
the isolation of its species in the
northwest corner of Africa, for it is
restricted to the mountain Businesses
i of the Barbary States. All the other
members of the genus Macacus are
Asiatic. its nearest ally being the
rhesus or sacred monkey of India
The monkey the Japanese depict Sc
constantly in drawings and carvings
Is another near relative.

A UNIQUE STABLE

What is probably the most unique
stable in the country is to be seen in
Lewis county, Washington, where the
stump of giant fir has been followed
out, making a room large enough to
house two horses. 1t is 10x11 at the
base, and to render it impervious to
rain a roof was added 1t stands on
the homestead of George Berries, who
first used the partially hollow stump
as a potato storehouse, finding room
in it for seventy-five sacks. Later he
enlarged the interior to it's present
dimensions

Let Them Wear rheml

1t is observed that one or two taste
full advocates of establishment of the
male dress are writing to the papers
declaring that he should be allowed
by custom to wear not only bracelets,
but earrings, too, if they desire. Well,
who prevents them? They can wear
both if they wish. They can also do
better and wear nose rings, which
would be more truly American adorn-
ment, inherited from the real natives
of this CONTEMPLATING Dispatch.

department.
In his statement Col. Fielder de-
scribes Chief Lanford as the "Lieu-
tenant Becker of our system, "and
accuses him of fomenting a plot tc
thwart the ends Of Justice
