Turing MONKEYS TO DEATH
Certain African Natives Know Their
Language and Use It to
XIII Them.

A surveyor who has returned after
spending three years on the upper
Congo believes that some Of the ma
tives of darkest Africa know the
monkey language. He says:
at was when we were going down
the rivers that we made the acquaint-
ance of the monkeys. We could hear
them in the forests, chattering to
each other and calling plaintiyelv,
almost like human beings. At first
| could hardly believe they were
monkeys l thought they we're tribes
of natives, and some Of their cries
were like those of children who had
been frightened.
st was the weirdest thing to see
them swinging along one Of the
boughs of tho trees, hand in hand or
grasping each others tails. They
would swing together in this fashion,
forming a bridge right across the
stream, and then our carriers would
get quite excited. They were very
fond of monkey flesh. As we APP
preached the animals the natives
would ship their paddles and sit
quiet, while the best marksman
would hold a gun so that he could
have a good aim. As he rule, he
would bring down one Of the mon
keys with a screech, and as soon as
the result of the shot was seen some
of the men would jump overheard
and swim to the body, bringing it
back to the boat in great glee.

Extraordinary Case of Filming a West.

The strike in the We8tphalian
mining district has been over for
months, but Beleidigung p~rosecu-

occupying the courts. Readers will
remember some cases of hard justice
melted out there: How the mother of
nine children went to Jail for a week
for saying, "Ffui! Strike-breaker /"
and how a mother and her nursing
baby occupied a cell for several days
for a crime of no greater import.
The capsheaf, however, appears to
have been put on in a case just de-

Of calling out to a strike-breaker a
line of an old poem, "Three words I

these three words, "Ui, wan, pauz."
In these words Of import grave the
vigilant prosecuting attorney discov-

MISS GAME ON MISS ALT.

The most remarkable thing TO me was
the attitude Of the company when Miss
Alt made her first entrance. Every one,
including the stage hands, was waiting
breathlessy in the wings, and when she
came off stage the applause from behind
the curtain was nearly as loud as from
the audience. and twice as hearty.
NO one but an actor or actress can
fully appreciate such a demonstration of
good will from ones associates. 1t so
often happens that the conditions are en-
trely opposite and instead Of receiving
sincere encouragement the newcomer
must combat a most disheartening com
