STRANGE ADVENTURE
 OF DAN JUAN 100000
Taken From Zoo, He Makes Himself
 at Home on Stage Of Local Theater.

at Home on Stage of Local Theater.
 Frank Brady, genial right hand man to Manager 4. H. Reeves, the local theatrical magnate, has become sati- ated with ordinary animal pets. Ever q lover of dumb brutes, he has short ened his lonely bachelor hours at Vari- ous times with rare dogs, pedigreed cats, occasionally a snake, once a gila monster, and now he has taken to him. self monkey, and thereby hangs this tale.
 Little RococO once belonged to the zoo of the carnival company which en- tertained the visitors to the city during last week There, with his brethren sistern and sundry relatives, he Whiled away his youthful hours unaware of the fate which was soon to overtake him, which changed the entire current of his existence.
 Monkey fate arrived in the form of Frank Brady, and after one glance at Frank, life became a burden to poor little Rococo. He refused to eat, ex- cept when fed by Frank, who delights in wasting his spare hours Ifl. the sci entific amusement of feeding peanuts and bananas to the monkeys. During this intellectual occupation he noticed the attraction he held for Rococo whose keepers thought he was sick, and realizing that the monkey could not live without him, he straightway made arrangements to acquire the little ami mal, exchanged bit of the coin of the realm for him, and escorted him to his future home, the stage of the Empress theater
 At the particular time of the arrival of ROcOcO. the sanctum of the theater was given over to the rehearsal of the ballet, composed of some very attract i've specimens of the gentler sex. the collection of Louis B. Jacobs
 ROcOcO was summariIy introduced to the chorus, who made a dive for their various carryaIls, but after their first necessary feminine shriek of fright Cor was it delighD, they proceeded to feed RococO with sweetmeats
 Brady thereupon learned that a mon key is a tickle beast at best and true to his sex, was not above the fascina- tiOns of female attention. for ROcOcO would thereafter have nothing to do with Brady, scratching and biting and shrieking whenever he approached. RocOcO was finally left, supposedly securely tied to a bit of scenery
 Fritz Fields, the comedian and pro- ducer of the Jacobs company, was in his dressing room during the advent of Rococo, and knew nothing of his pres ence. He was busily engaged prepar- ing the manuscript of The Isle of Kow-Tow," which was scheduled to be the midWeek change of the company Fritz left his room to supervise the re- hearsal of Rooms for Rent" leaving the door open.
 RocOcO, becoming nervous. vented his wrath upon the tie which bound him, unfastened it and started upon a tour of inspection of the adornments of Thespis
 His course took him straightway to the sanctorum of Fields, and spying the manuscrip lying upon the table, he proceeded to investigate It evidently appealed to Rococo as a perfectly good show. one to be thoroughly enjoyed relished and digested for he left noth- ing but the pins connecting the leaves and few scraps which served as evil dence Not even the plot escaped his critical attention, for, although Fields wrote the play. he has forgotten what it was all about
 When last seen Rococo had reached the dizzy heights of the gridiron above the stage and, indifferent to all bIan- dishments and entreaties, refused to be 1 cajOled into making a descent neither the attractions of the chorus nor the undying affection of Brady serving as an inducement, while Manager Jacobs is wild over the loss of a play and a plot, threatening suit against all of monkeydom. Fritz Fields is almost be- side himself with aggravation, pertur- | bation, etcetera, for he must substitute Tom and Jerry as the Thursday change for the mOnkeyshine which now contains the entire Isle of Kow-Tow.'
