MORE OR LESS A MYSTERY Few Seem to Know the Real Facte Concerning the So-Called Monkey of Mon«. Are you acquainted with the monkey of Mons? An army officer brought home from Belgium u replica—a tiny silver figure with one clawish bund posed reflectively against Its chin and with a look of Introspection In Its deepset eyes. In showing it to a friend he mentioned that, like a number of officers who had been to Mons, he curried the thing as a mascot. The friend told u woman about it, and she, being unacquainted with the monkey of Mons, asked a soldier who hud been there. "Never heard of It, but you can't judge by me, ns I was only in Mons a couple of days—got great coal mines there, though." Another soldier who had been to Mons long enough to go sightseeing was Impressed mainly by the cathedral of St. Wtildrup—"built In the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries; Gothic architecture, and—the monkey must have been there, of course, but—” Then the woman extended her inquiry to a private who had hobbled around Mons for two hours while waiting to get away. "Sure I saw it! Bronze statue In a street —or maybe It was one of those I gargoyle tilings on the church wall, but, anyhow, I saw' It—at least it I looked like a monkey, though I wouldn't be willing to swear to it.” 1 Which Is the why of this cry: "Are you acquainted with the monkey of MonsT’i— Washington Star TO PRESERVE OLD LANDMARK “ Creation of National Monum'ent Area v Assures Security to Posterity of Famous Multan Tree. The Mullan tree, landmark of the old Mullan trail, the first highway connecting Montana and Idaho with the coast, will be preserved to posterity through the creation of a national monument area by the president. On July 4. 1861, Capt. John Mullan, leader of the party having charge of the survey and construction of the Mullan trail from Walla Walia. Wash., to Fort Benton. Mont., closed his work at the connecting point of the roads from the east and west, at the head o.f the Fourth of July canon, between Wallace. Idaho, and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. There he marked appropriately a huge white-pine tree, which since that time has been known ns the Mullan tree. Tourists seeking souvenirs of their jaunt along the Yellowstone trail have damaged the ancient tree so much that forest service officers have found it necessary to take steps to protect it, and, to aecojupU-’h this, have submitted a . petition proposing “that a national monument area be /created, which has been approved. / r ,
