4 CCORDING TO Charles Darwin
~ who once made a very careful
investigation OF the heirlooms
Of humanity. the monkey is the an
cestor Of man.
If this is true, it is a sad thought
for those whose pride Is to trace their
ancestry into the dim unchartered
past For the monkey is no great
shakes as citizen
It is a miniature edition Of a man
with various improvements as far as
more useful than mans and he IS also
equipped with a versatile and inteIli-
gent tail by which he can hang from
the highest limb while picking fruit
with both hands and feet. II the bad
boys Of today were supplied with
monkeys appendages. they would make
the orchards OF America a howIinE
waste in three days.
The monkey has a full beard on all
parts OF his body and a small, bald
face, which consists mostly Of jaw.
Nature only provided the monkey with
room under his forehead for a tea
spoonful Of brains and she used in
ferior and added goods for filling at
that.
The monkey is very quick and bright
at imitation, and can be taught large
variety OF astonishing and useless
tricks. such as wearing plug hat and
a dress suit smoking a pipe. drinking
champagne and eating ice cream with
q fork A monkey can take a watch
o. other mechanism to pieces as clev-
erly as a man, but when he attempts
to put the pieces together again his
full defects are exhibited
The trouble with a monkey IS the
fact that he has no memory. II he
could remember what he learned yes
terday, he would be equal TO some
grades OF humanity and might stand a
chance in this hustling world But he

Fifth, we can get no effective results
