UNCIVILIZED

An ancient ape, once on time,
Disliked exceedingly to climb,
And so he picked him out tree
And said, "Now this belongs to me-
[ have bunch that monks are NUTS
And I can make them gather nuts
And bring the bulk of them to me,
By claiming title to this tree.'
He took a green leaf and a reed
And wrote himself a title-deed,
Proclaiming pompously and slow:
''All monkeys by these present know
Next morning, when the monkeys came
TO gather nuts, he made his claim:
"All monkeys climbing on this tree
Must bring their gathered nuts to me,
Cracking the same on equal shares;
The meats are mine, the shells are theirs. -
E'But by what right?" they cried, amazed,
Thinking the ape was surely crazed.
"By this" he answered; eff you'll read
You'll find it is title-deed,
Made in precise and formal shape
And sworn before fellow ape
Exactly on the legal plan
Used by that wondrous creature, man,
In London, Toxic, New York,
Glengarry, Kalamazoo, and Cork.
It proves you quite uncivilized"
"But,' said one monkey, ''you'll agree
It was not you who made this tree''
"Nor,' said the ape, serene and bland,
''Does any owner make his land,
Yet all Of it's hereditaments
Are his and figure in his rents'
The puzzled monkeys sat about
They could not make the question out.
Plainly, by precedent and law,
The apes procedure showed no flaw
And yet, no matter what he said,
The stomach still denied the head
Up spoke one sprghtly monkey then:
Monkeys are monkeys, men are men,
The ape should try his legal capers
On men who may respect his papers.
We don't know deeds we do know nuts,
And spit of ifs and lands and butts,
We know who gathers and un-meats 'em
By monkey practice also eats 'em.
$50 tell the ape and all his funkeys
No man-tricks can be played on Monkeys
Thus, apes still climb to get their food,
Since Monkeys minds are Grass and crude,
And monkeys, all so ill-advised,
Still eat their nuts, uncivilized.
Edmund Vance Cook.
Beautiful theory-an utopian dream-but
damn poor practice. It's idle folly to
argue that when one improves a piece Of

same, he has no more right to it than the
other fellow. Rats

MYSTERIOUSLY MISSING
CIRCUMSTANCES LEADING UP TO
THE DISAPPEARANCE OF
JOHN f. PECK.

Apropos of the disappearance of
John f. Peck, father of Frank Peck,
of this city, the facts in the case are
as follows:
Nearly a year ago Mr.. Peck had
farming interests near the town of
Mora, Mimi, which interests he sold
some time last fall, figuring on TAX
ing up his residence in Sioux Falls,
since he owned property in that city.
His health failing while in Mime
sofa and the fact of the expiration of
the lease given the Sioux Falls ten
ant brought the decision to Mr.. Peck
to retire from active farming life.
Himself and wife at this juncture
made a trip to Sheldon, Ia, to visit
their daughter, Mrs. T. e. Diamond.
They were at Sheldon for some time,
when near the 3rd of January the
folks noted peculiarities in mental
processes which cropped out occa-
sionally during bits of conversation.
Little was thought of it at the time
and not much attention was paid to
it. On January 3 Mr.. Peck decided
to go to Sioux Falls to inspect his
property with a view to moving there.
The daughter accompanied Mr.. Peck
to the station at Sheldon and desired
to wait until the train pulled in, but
the train which was an hour late fur
nished an excuse for dismissing Mrs.
Diamond. Mr.. Peck pleaded with her
not to wait. So the daughter return
ed home thinking all was well with
her father. A son, Roscoe, living in
Sioux Falls, was notified of the de-
parture of Mr.. Peck from Sheldon.
He went to the station at Sioux Falls
awaiting his fathers coming, but
subsequent events have shown he did
not make his appearance there. His
non-appearance, after a reasonable
time, caused telephone messages to
be sent to a brother of Mr.. Peck, then
a resident of ~Primghar, Ia. The sup
position was that he might have
changed his plans and gone there in
stead of making Sioux Falls. No
trace of Mr.. Peck could be found al
Primghar. Then the search began in
real earnest. Frank Peck, of this
city, made a "trip over to Minnesota
where his fathers prior interests
were, but failed in locating his
whereabouts.
There appeared in a recent issue
of a Sioux City paper a paragraph
quoted from a Des Moines dispatch
stating that a man unknown had
been located which supposedly was
the missing Mr.. Peck, but further
quoting that identity had been estab-
lished in this case the man being one
Mr.. Maroney, of Wall Lake, Ia.
Mr.. Peck has not been found, and
so far, no clews are known to his
whereabouts. Any statement to the
contrary is absolutely without foun
)dation in fact.
The sympathies of the community
are. with the friends and relatives o.
! the missing man and it is certain ev
cry possible step will be taken tt
find the missing man.
