An Italian organ grinder possessed a
monkey which he worked through
the summer months. When the cool
days of the fall came his business fell
off. and he discontinued his walks and
his melodies. An Irishman of his ac-
quaintance offered him 10 cents day
for the privilege of keeping and feed
ing the little beast. The bargain was
made for month. Great curiosity
filled the mind of the Italian, and at
last, unable to restrain himself, he
went ostensibly to see his pet. but
really to find what possible use Pat
could make Of monkey. The Irish
man was frank. 1T is loilke this" he
