Monkey War Veteran.

Jacko, the pet monkey of H. M. S. Loyal, who has been in three wars.Tecently paid a flying visit to Harwich, and for the sake of variety made part of the jpurney on the roof of a railway carriage. Born in South Africa during the ■war, Jacko was made the pet of a regiment, and was with the troops on two or three battlefields. A seaman fathered him and took him afloat. He went to the China station, and wa« with the naval brigade in the Boxer rebellion. Back to sea he went from ship to ship, and he was in the Loyal during its recent engagement with German destroyers. Being an old soldier, he then took refuge in the fish-kettle, emerging quite gay and hearty when the shooting was over.—-London Daily Mail.
