and displayed great patience and
fortitude during her sickness. Her
loss will be sorely felt by her husband

to her.
Kind and friendly neighbors show
ed their sympathy to the family in a

Monkeys are born In almost as help
less condition as are human beings
For the first fortnight after birth they
pass their time In being nursed, In
sleeping and in looking about them.
During the whole of this time the care

she skillfully evades any approaching
danger by the most adroit muneuvers.
At the end of the first fortnight the
little one begins to get about by itself,
