MONKEY KISSED ITS MOTHER
Writer Tells Of Human-Like Scene Of
Simian Affection In Burma
Forest.

In Burma we had monkey tribe
that were called locally human; gray
black-faced tree jewellers, says w. A.
Fraser in the Saturday Evening Post.
The males, as they looked down at one,
the black face surrounded by white
whiskers, always wore a puzzled. plain
tive look.
They were lengthy of limb, long Of
tail and light-bodied, built expressly for
their mode of travel, which consisted
in racing to the top Of tree and shoot
ing out in flying leap downward to
the limb of anotber-the tall, as IL 1t
did the trick automatically. twisting
about the limb with grip quite strong
enough to suspend the monkeys body.
In these flying leaps and in the race
up the tree, the monkey babe always
lay fiat, slung under the mother, its
paws grasping the mothers fur.
Once. standing quietly on a jungle
path, | saw female of this tribe sit
ting on a limb with her back toward
me. Behind her on the limb a baby
monkey about a quarter grown was
skylarking, pinching his mother and
trying to tie a knot in her tail. Sud-
denly saw him stand up. put his front
paws under the mothers chin. pull her
head over backward and kiss her. The
mother. her heart full of affection, |
fancy, was delighted, for her head went
over willingly and she rubbed the
baby's cheek with her own.

WIRELESS CLOCK IN LONDON
Timepiece at Waterloo Station, In
vented by American, Has No
Visible Works.

An American engineer has invented
a timepiece which not only keeps per
feet time, but by means of wireless
operates and correets series of other
clocks with which 1t is connected.
According to noted wireless au-
thority in this country, this invention
foreshadows a day when all public
clocks will be controlled and synchro-
nized In this way.
The need of keeping an accurate
record of the passing of time has In
spired many ingenious inventions.
One of the most wonderful clocks In
the world is to be seen at Wells cathe-
dral. II was made by monk exactly
600 years ago, The hours are indi-
Gated by the appearance of number
OF armed figures on horseback. says
London Tit-Bits These meet in a
kind of charge, the striking of their
lances sounding the chimes for the

A clock without visible works is one
of the wonders of Waterloo station,
London. 1t is controlled by electric
ity, which connects 1t with what is
known as the master clock.

ROYALTY OF OLD BIG EATERS
Feast at Court Of King Richard u
Called for Vast Amount
of Food.

England in the Canterbury days ate
much in the French style. Spoons and
fingers were good manners and cary
ing was new-fangled, If it was in fact
practiced to any extent at all.
Richard II and the duke of Lam
caster once dined in London with the
bishop of Durham. The king, the
duke and the bishop and their retinues
and guests called for 100 sheep, Ia
sailed oxen and 2 fresh, 1,240 pigs, ~
boars, 210 geese, 100 hens, so capons
'of HE geze" and eight dozen other
capons, so swans and 100 dozen
pigeons; rabbits and curlews by the
score, 1900 eggs, II gallons of cream
and 120 gallons of milk.
Such was royal feast. says the De-
trolt News, and every day, whether
fast day or eating day, had four meals.
Breakfast at seven, dinner at ten in
the morning, supper at four and liv-
cry at eight The hour of dinner is
said TO show the development Of cook
Ing In any given country. But there
were Chaucerian refinements, never
theless, aside from dishes of flowers ;
permissible foods initiating the form
of meats on fast days, even eggs be-
ing counterfeited and clever things
such as making two capons out of one
by skinning II and stufiing the skin.
There were, besides, the points of
etiquette pig for a lord should be
endored, his cabbage thiekened with
egg, not crumbs; a pike served whole
to lord, but cut for the commonalty.
And mint sauce has a pedigree reach
ing to Edward |.

Cord Boots 1924
Leader
New Fishing Boots and Hunting
Shoes Added

A boot made of cord tire fabric
will be the leader among the new
things in the Snag-Proof line for
1924.
In addition to an extensive new
line of hunting shoes with rubber
bottoms and leather tops, and a
special light fishing boot, have been
added. The old lance line is on
the ticket in the form of heavy
boot with pure gum vamp, and the
e." a popular priced line, is being
manufactured again.
These new boots made of cord tire
fabric, it is confidently expected, will
do for boots what the same fabric
did for the automobile tire They
will be relatively higher priced as
the cord tires were; but each cord
will be thoroughly coated with gum
and it is expected that these boots
will wear three times as long as
shoes made of ordinary wooden fab
ric. 1t is also being used in the
White Miners Pac, to which has
been added this year three non-skid
bars of black rubber. The idea is
exclusively Snag- Proofs.
The light weight fishing boot
should be a popular line with the
fishermen. 1t weighs less than 30
ounces and can be rolled up into a
small bundle. Another feature of
the construction is the fact that they
may be turned inside out.
The rubber-leather hunting shoe
is light weight product quite diff
ferent from our old Delaware. 1t
retains the ribbed vamp and is made
in IL" and IS" heights.
In the light weight line the adj
ditions are Boys and Youths
London and a Women's Comfort
last designed to fit the new leather
sport shoe, which has become so
popular during the last season. The
four-buckle line has been augmented
with a medium weight vanished
gaiter for men.
The Barrett, Kneidler Company, of
Philadelphia, is preparing the new
catalog, which will be off the press
shortly. 1t is promised to be one of
the most elaborate and attractive
catalogs ever published by rubber
footwear company.

TRAGEDY OF AGED BUFFALO
Abandoned, clings to Water Hole In
PltIable Solitude Until He
Pershes.

"The buffalo bull that has outlived
his usefulness Is one of the most
pitiable objects In the whole range OF
natural history" says Col. Henry In
man In his 1.-THE Old Santa Fe Trail"
published in 1897, according to the
Detroit News. Abandoned to his
fate, he may be discovered, in his
dreary isolation, near some stream or
lake, where it does not tax him too
severely to find good grass. In this
new stage of his existence he seems
to have completely lost his courage.
Frightened at the rustling of a leaf,
he is the very incarnation of nervous
ness and suspicion. Solitude, foreign
to his whole nature, has changed him
into new creature.
Nobody ever saw one of these mis-
cradle or forlorn creatures dying a
natural death or ever heard of such
an occurrence. The cowardly coyote
and the gray wolf had already marked
him for their own; and they rarely
missed their calculations"

OLD FAITHFUL sUccUMBs

Hiram Williams well known an
tique Hupmobile, "Old Faithful, I"
rolled over on its back and died
peacefully on Christmas Day. A
coroner, making an inquest, would
probably have discovered compli-
cation of diseases due to strain and
age. The immediate cause of its
death had to do with bearing.
You see it was this way. 1t was
not running well, or at least not as
well as usual, and Hiram, who is a
capable mechanic when not in the
office, sought to take up the play
in the front wheel The spirit OF
Christmas was too much for even
his temperament, and he got the
bearing on upside down or inside
out. However it was, it came off,
wheel and all, on the broad highway
near East Bangor, and unceremon-
iously landed Mr.. Williams in the
ditch.
He replaced the wheel and went on
home, or wherever he was going.
On Christmas Day he noticed that
it seemed to complain a bit, and,
upon investigation, found that the
main frame was fractured.
Anyone who wishes to contribute
toward a memorial wreath may leave
cash or checks with the editor,
preferably before January LIST.

THREE CAVE MEN INVENT
ALARM CLOCK

Walter Crooks, "Gus" Kellys sue
cessor among the "Three Gave
Men," has a new and novel alarm
clock. We feel justified in char
acterizing it as the only one of it's
kind in the city.
Repeated efforts on the part of
his tent-mates, "Chet' Balinski and
"Con" Tweedle having failed to
disturb his matutinal slumbers,
more drastic measures seemed es-
sential. A stout cord was tied to
his great toe and passed out of the
window. Jake" Holcombe, our
nightwatchman, was persuaded to
be the works" of the new "alarm
clock" On his way home after his
nights vigil he gives the cord a
strong pull. Since employing this
invention it is said that he beats
the whistle to his machine every
morning.

How to Make a hectoaraph,

A photograph is pad composed
of gelatin and glycerin used for max
ing many impressions of writing and
drawing. This pad is made in the
proportions of one ounce of gelatin to
six and one-half ounces of glycerin.
These two ingredients should be al
lowed to mix by slowly heating for
several hours over vessel filled with
hot salt water. When thoroughly
melted the mixture Is poured into a
long. shallow pan and allowed to
harden, when it will present smooth
even surface. A special copying ink
is needed which can be purchased
at stationery store. The matter
to be copied is written and placed
face downward on the pad. After a
short period the imprint of the writ
ing will be transferred to the pad.
About one hundred copies may be
made by placing blank paper over the
tracings on the pad and gently rub

EXTENSIVE REPAIRS DURING
SHUT DOWN

Though boots and shoes are not
being turned out very rapidly this
week the factory is the scene of live
ly activity. All departments are
going through a very thorough
cleanup period and the Master Me-
chanic's crew is busy from morning
till night.
The most extensive single opera
ton is the installation of the Mill
Room clutch mentioned previously in
the "Snickers." The clutch is of
a magnetic type and is manufactured
by William R. Thropp Sons Com
pany. of Trenton. The controls are
in the form or frames SO that the
operator may stop it with any part
of it's body. The clutch is so rapid
and positive in action that the mill
stops in less than three inches.
Next to the Mill Room, the Top
Room is receiving most of the at
tention. The band and sundry bust
ness is being entirely discontinued
and all the old band equipment is
being removed. This will give us a
lot of much-needed space for Quar-
ter Making, and the layout of the
room will be entirely changed.
Our lightweight rubber line has
extended so rapidly that it is taking
up another room formerly occupied
by the heavy ruber shoemakers and
several of the new tables have al
ready been installed there.
The books and similar light equip
ment are being vanished and re-
paired and the new calendar unit
will be in operation in the early
part of the year.
