They did the most wonderful tricks

she tried every trick she had ever
known, and some new ones as well.
But she loved to hear Lucy laugh.
1t was such a very cheerful, happy
laugh. And so she kept on doing
trick after trick.
After a time Lucy and her mother
had to leave the zoo, and the chimpan-
ices had to have their supper.
May we come again and see them?"
asked Lucy.
Prom the way they have acted to-
day. said the keeper, 81 am sure
they'd be glad to see you again.
They've had as good a time as you
have had. And I love to have visitors
who don't tease the animals, but who
like them and who care to watch them
and grow to know them. Those Wis
itorS are always welcome. But Wis
itors who would tease animals who
can't fight blackwell, that is too
dreadful I"
Il should just say it was" agreed
Lucy, as she went off, after waving a
good-by to the chimpanzees and the
keeper.
A little more than three weeks later
Lucy and her mother went back to
the zoo and there was Betty in her
cage. looking very quiet and peace
full.
'She doesn't feel like acting today
but she is well again. A day or so
after you left" the keeper told Lucy,
''she was climbing q tiny ladder to
her sleeping box when she fell by Slip
ping between the steps at the top.
She went right over and snapped a
put in plaster of paris which is hor-
rid, stiff bandage. but it made the leg

said Lucy.

chimpanzee.

zee in the zoo.
And then all the apes, monkeys and
chimpanzees began to swing from one
trapeze TO the other, and from one
part of their cage TO another part.
They were so graceful and they
moved so easily; They could catch
themselves by their hands or feet. In
deed, they were regular acrobats, and
could have gone into circus any day.
Still they were very glad that they
We're not in a circus. They had q

There were no special times when

the chimpanzees would do all they
could TO aInuse the children.
This day when they were talking
about what they could do the keeper
came along. There was a little girl by
his side named Lucy and with Lucy
was her mother.
Lucy, would you like to see the
chimpanzees do their tricks?" the
keeper asked.
And Lucy nodded her head, which
was very nice head with yellow curls,
and said: "Oh, please, keeper, do
have them show their tricks"
well, how about a trick for the
lady? asked the keeper of one of the
chimpanzees.
The chimpanzee looked at the keep
er and then at Lucy and then at
Lucy's mother, and she seemed to say
You all look like mighty nice peo-

so that makes one nice person, and
Lucy looks very nice, SO that makes two

A Question of veracity.
lRutland Herald.

The statement has been made thai
the somewhat celebrated Bennington
raids resulted from a lawbreaking con
dition in which the attorney general
has called the attention Of the state
attorney Of Bennington county there
to This was given public expression
in the Brattleboro Reformcr of july
Sth as follows:
Several weeks ago complaints reached
Gov Graham that wide open traffic II
booze was being conducted by persons
not holding licenses and he turned the
matter over to Attorney General Bar
Der The latter called the attention OF
States Attorney Frank Archibald to
the situation and suggested that it be
cleaned up.
This statement Frank c. Archibald
states attorney for Bennington coun
ty, now declares to be untrue and sub
mits the following III communication
to the Reformer:
Upon my calling Mr.. Barber g atten-
tion to this statement he, under date
of July 18th wrote to me letter az
follows: "Your letter of the 18th inst
regarding liquor prosecutions in con.
nection with the raids made against
the clubs in Bennington received, and
contents noted. Replying, | beg to
state that ! am not responsible for the
publication in the newspaper; there
certainly is no claim on my part that
! have ever had any talk with you re
garding the conditions at these clubs
in Bennington
In addition to this Attorney Genera
Barber on the 18th inst, in the pres
ence of state S Attorney Allen Martin
of Essex junction, and myself, said
that he had never spoken or writer
to me about the selling or furnishing
of liquor in Bennington, either BY
clubs or licensed dealers, and that he
had not made any request of me fol
the prosecution of either. And | de
clare that he never requested or sug
gested such action by me-
Evidently the attorney general was
responsible for the Reformer's origi
nal statement, as it comments as fol
lows on the foregoing:
The Rcformer has no desire to pr,
cipitate any controversy, but it is con
strained to say in its own defense that
the paragraph written was quoted aft
er an interview with the head of the
states prosecuting department anc
would be written the same again under
like circumstances.
In other words, the attorney gen
eral told the Reformer one thing an6
