GUESTS ENJOYED A NOVELTY
Presence Of Monkeys at Formal Din.
ner by Mrs. Longworth Made
a Decided "Hit"

It happened that Mrs. Nicholas
Longworth, the daughter of former
President Roosevelt, and wife of the
distinguished Ohio representative,
had presented to her among many
hundred other gifts, two little mon
keys, who lost no time in sustaining
their reputation for mischievous an
tics, and kept the Longworth house
hold in a panic as to what was going
to happen next.
They were too nimble and quick
to be punished for the evil of their
ways, and so, week In and week out
the monkeys had a lovely time of It..
When Mr.. and Mrs. Longworth enter
tanned, the little creatures were shut
up behind lock and key, and usually
wore themselves out in their effort to
break through, and went to sleep in
consequence, from sheer exhaustion.
This had always insured the sue
cess of party, without any disturb
ing Interruptions. until one fateful
night when Mrs. -Longworth looked
up to discover monkey grinnlng at
her from the top of picture, 1t was
only a second until the other one
climbed up the corner of the cloth,
and snatched a few nuts from some
OF the panicstricken guests. His
partner in crime leaped from the pic
ture and perched himself upon the
shoulder of a guest, and the details
OF what followed are not laid down
In the directions given to polite So
ciety as how to entertain.

ago, 81 shall never forget how ut.
terly funny it was, nor how we all
enjoyed it, just as soon as we were
assured the monkeys would not eat

MAN KILLS HUNGRY WILDCAT
Beast Had Attacked Party Of Unarmed
Men, and Was Dispatched
With Club.

A wildcat attacked party Of hunt
ers in the deer woods of Atlantic coun-
ty. six miles this side of Mays Land
ing, and was killed. after fight by
Thomas Campbell who brought the
carcass home as proof of his exciting
experience.
Young Campbell, with his father, Ju-
seph Campbell, and a companion
named Cess, were exploring the
woods, following a deer run, with the
idea Of stalking out stands for the open
season, when the wildcat suddenly at
tackled them. The beast leaped upon
Cess. who struck wildly at it with his
fists. One of the blows knocked the
big cat to the earth. None Of the
men was armed, but Thomas Camp
bell picked up a heavy piece of wood
and struck the animal as 1t renewed
the attack. A blow on the head
stunned the beast. and the two men
beat it to death.
The wildcat was apparently cub,
not quite fully grown. Its gaunt body
showed that it had nearly starved dur
ing the long drought, which drove
much of the small game from the
woodlands to the swamps, 1t is be-
lieved that hunger forced the beast
to attack the men. wildcat is

Short.Siekted Bourbors.

One hundred years ago France was
undergoing many changes, following
the overthrow of Napoleon and the res,
toration OF the Bourbons Many OF these
changes were not to the liking of the
people, and the signs OF popular dis.

Of the government to prohibit all buy.

Fencing or Italy.

The Italian government Is often
greatly annoyed by the smuggling OF
large amounts of contr2band goods
across the Swiss border into Italy, re
sulting in a great loss Of revenue
Steps are now being taken which it is
hoped will stop this lawlessness
Plans have been made to fence the
whole of the border with heavy metal
netting and customs authorities look
upon the scheme with great favor
This form Of barrier has been tried
along several parts Of the frontier, but
1t has been found that the fence alone
Is not sufficient, The new fence OF
wire netting is nine feet high and
along the top are to be fastened at
short intervals a number Of bells

What Disrupts the Family

When the Brooklyn domestic rela-
tions court began its sessions for last
year the magistrates sitting in it de-
decided To find out as nearly as might
be the underlying causes OF disunion in
the families that came under their
notice. The probation officers were in
structed TO examine each case entrust-
ed to them and record the reasons dis
closed TO them for marital disaster.
The result of the inquiries is given in
the subjoined table, which is included
in the annual report of the court to the
board of aldermen:

SALEM MAN TACKLES
WAGON ROAD LANDS

F. w. Waters, well-known Salem man
aho has recently opened offices in the
.caa b.iding in Portland has secured
:i.l. 10 about 10000 acres of what is
known as the government military
.ugd grant which runs eastward from
,.uoanon. The transfer to Mr.. Waters
was made by the Western Colonization
company, with head offices in st. Paul,
Minnesota, which company has secured
title to about 100000 acres of the
military road grant. The grant runs
across the state and terminates in Nal.
heur county. Mr.. Waters expects to
place this land on the market for
homeseekers and investors. He plans
to sell at low figures and on the long
time payment plan.
Many small but enterprising cities
are found in the territory covered by
this grant. Some of these are Soda
vile, Lebanon, Waterloo, Lacomb,
Sweet Home, Foster, Beahn, Browns
vile, Santiam, Cascadia and others.
The opening of the Panama canal and
the expected influx of immigrants was
one of the things that caused Mr.. Wa
ters to invest the $15O,O0O necessary
to purchase the land.
