PLAYING AT GOVERNMENT

Illuminating accounts of conditions
in Russia are given by Italian sol
diers who we're in that country until
recently as war prisoners, and are
now touring America. They tell
particularly amazing tales about ST.
IBERIA.
Every town, they say, Is a separate
and independent government, taking
orders from no higher authority, and
having a revolution of It's own every
few days.
The spirit In which they conduct
public affairs il shown by this pictur-
esque incident. In one town there
was a change of government every
time a new group of debaters made a
better impression In the public forum

turned out and submitted the fate OF
their republic to Il three.cornered de

fine address, and the crowd voted Ior
him. Then Bolshevik orator spoke
and the crowd voted for him. Finally
the third speaker, an independent
got up In disgust and shouted:
"You are lot of blockhcads. Yot

MONKEYS ACTUALLY AT WORK
Ingenious English Officer Devised Scheme by Which They Earn
 Their Daily Bread.

Monkeys actually are made to work in Malabar. India, which Is perhaps the only place in the world where they earn their salt The Malabar monkey is of the fine species known as the Ian gur. It Is very warm at Malabar. and there Is a fan called the punka. which used to he kept in motion by slave.
 It required a slave to work each pun ka, but now every punka In Malahar is worked by q monkey. It was an English officer who conceived the idea of making the langur work fin that manner. The fan Is a movable frame covered with canvas and suspended from the ceiling. The motion Is caused by pulling cord. The officer tied the hands of Ia langur to one of the cords and then by means of another cord put the machine in motion.
