PLAYING MONKEY.

Great Scott! Don't tell me wimmen is alius right! I know different W'y, it's only th' other day Mary—my missis— •wor dead wrong, "Now, yer will be earful, won't yer, Jim?" flays she, a-tyin a big red comforter roand tb' young tin's neck. "Careful?" says "I bolieve yer, me boy!" as Mr. Paul Bedford used ter say ter Mr. Bob Keeley. Lord! Lord I Wot days tboy did 'ave in them times!

Yer see, my old mother 'ad been er great trick act rider, till she 'ad a haccident, an after that as fer back as Mme. Celeste's day she got inter tb' wardrobe at th' Adelphy an "went on"—one er "th' guests," yer know. Lord, she wor alius as jolly an as gentle as a sand boy an used ter tell us Jcids all abont before she was married, 8eein mada. .e playin th' Indian girl au afterward dancin th' gavot in w'ite satin. An w'en she come 'omo from th' thoatcr she'd 'ave 'er little drop er cold gin an sing to us wee ens (a-sittin cp in bed a-eatiu th' 'ot baked taters she'd bring us) "Down Hamong th' Greta Bushes" in 'er sweet voice. "Miss Fitzgerald did sing it that beautiful," sajs she, a-wipin 'er heyes. 'Ow did 1 cum ter bo in th' purfesh? Well, yer see, I was brought up a b:t sensitive an wilh 'er taste fer th' drcmer, an bein rather tender hearted lilo —takin after father, who got killed one night a-carryia out a old blind womaa from a fire—I thought I'd like ter be a acrobat or a pantomimist. So one Christmas I gits on at Covent Garden us a supe an 'ml ter doer little "bizuoss" with th' clown. An Mr. Payne 'e says ter me, says 'e, "W'y don't yer go in fer it?" An I does—goes prentis, an in mo spare lime did little odd jobs an 'elpcd mother wot I could with th' kids. But, }er see, I was a bit old fer a xeg'lar bonder. Besides, I'd got it on ino mind ter play a monkey. Mother tiaid as 'ow.sho couldn't account fer it, 'oept it wor she went one Monday to th' zoological gardens afore I was born. Dad didn't want 'er tor go in th' monkey 'ouse but, womanlike, she would.

W'en I was 10,1 could play a monkey fer all 'e war worth. I got engaged wiHi a troop, an they giv' me a good screw •—well, good fer them days. It's differout now. We worked all th' 'alls in th' provinces. Thou a manager over from America see us, nn we played through th' «tntes* W'en wo gits back ter London, I fixes.up mother in 'er ohandler's shop jest behind Ilashloy's. Lord, she oould nearly smell th' sawdust an quito 'ear th* 'c.-sp*, an it did 'er good. "Makes me young agin," says she.

Thou our troop gits er turn at th' Halhauibm. An wot d' yer think? 1 falls in love with my missis—Mary Mason—a good littlo gal in th' back row th' ballet. Well, wo gits married five year ago come termorrer, nn we 'as two kids—both *oys. Th* second one wns sickly an d»**i But, bless your 'eart, Tommy, th'oldest, jest a-risin 4—well, there, talk pbout a munk! W'y, 'e on'y wanted er tail. Wen 'e wor 2 year, 'o 'ung au clung on ter every think an ajeurly frightened 'is mother inter fits.

Well, I've 'ad 'im with me in my act fer about threo mouths. (Another glass? I don't mind if 1 da Talkin's dry work. More soda, please.) An last week I gits leave from my boss ter play fer th' "'beu" o' a old pal o' mine down th' rast end way. Now, that night Mary «eemed ter reg'lar 'ugger mugger over Tommy. "W'ot's th' matter, mother?" says I. "Oh, nnthin—I—Idunno, »!im," says th' mother. An I could 'a' swore she was agoin ter cry. Then the broke out quito flercelike. "Don't Jet that there Bob JtJracy 'ave 110thin to 0 with th* ropes," says she. Bob was th' 'ead carpenter st th' 'all we was due at au a old sweetheart of Mary's—she "chucked" 'im fer me. "W'y, Bob's all right, mother," says "I duuno," says she, "I shouldn't like ter trust Tommy witu *im," says she. "Yer know 'e alius swore he'd git even." Well, after a minute: "It's time yer was gone. Lord love 'im!" says she, e-givin th' young u» a extra kiss an another turn o' th' comforter.

W'en we git* ter th* 'all, it was jirvitt Into—orsuuuitwl with people an lull of smoke. Tommy seemed a bit sleepy, but perks up w'en I pots 'is monkey dress on 'in*. "'Ow's th* little man?" say* I. "All right, dadda," says •e. I gives 'im to a woman tot 'old while 1 goes on th' stage ter see th' Urklo was all right* 'specially a little I trapese of Tom« covered with leaves an flowers, which was fixed oeater o' th* stage, way up in th* flies. Titers was Master Bob, as busy as any bee. But Vd bin avin a drop, I could sea "Well, Jimmy, ole man," says 'e, an grins st me like a 'ipperpotatmts or a 'iena or a Cttwhar est Bob hain't no beanfy) 'ow's th' tnijwis?" "She's all right," says "T' -re aiat no flies an 'ear," says "Y. re lucky t»», yer sre," says "Mary ought tor bin my miosis," says V. "Mr?. Jntaoa, If er please," says I, "an not Mary." -'Well, ye're getting damn pcrtkki*T,"

s^ys 'e, "bat yer won't alias 'ave it yer own way," says 'a "All ready! Stand by, Bracy," sings out th' stage manager. "Right yer are, boss," says Bob, lookin at me evillike. "Ting, tingl" goes th' bell. Up rolls tb' curtain. Th' scene, a jangle, with ropes o' big red flowers a-climbin up an 'anging from th' 'great palms, cocoanuts an banana trees. I must say as 'ow Bob 'ad fixed it fust rate.

Th' band strikes up, an th' music somehow gits inter one's blood. With Tommy hangin round my neck I do a lot o' turns an jumps an headers an flyin leaps. Then th' little munk, screamin, falls headlong an on'y saves 'isself by catch) on ter my taiL Lord, yer should 'ear th' people stamp an rave an laugh! But one woman faints. Then I takes th' little un in me arms, an we swings an swings, an I gives 'im a banana, an we chatter monkey fashion— chatter, chatter, an 'e throws a cocoanut, an I dodges. Then 'e bolts, an, hidin behind tb' flowers, pelts ma An in a reg'lar rage an 'issin an shriekin, I does all my big flights an gitsoff with no end of applausa

Th' little munk pops out 'is little 'ead an does 'is little act on 'is little trapeze. Then "cheep, cheep," chatter, begins ter whimper an worry an looks out fer poppa. But poppa ain't there (it's all part of th' play, yer know), an 'e leans over an over till all th' mothers' 'earts is in their mouths, an they 'olds on tight ter th' seats in front on 'em. 'E's .sich a little un, yer see. "Ob, 'e'll fall! An 'edj fall an catches with one hand, slips agin an 'angs by one foot. Th' tiny arms is stretched out th' tiny body swings. Th' baby munk chatters an jabbers with fright. "Fer th' good Lord's sake, somebody catch 'im!" cries a woman's voice. That's my cue. Bang! I'm shot up a trap—shot up 20 feet in th' air. I leap an fly from bough to bough. Th' little munk screams. I look up an see—what! Th' baby munk swingin in th' air, an there, among th' gas battens, is Bob Bracy, 'is red, evil face all a-workin, leanin over—out o' th' flies—a big, shinin knife in 'is 'and. My God, he's outtin th' rope—Tommy's rope. I shall be too late. Th' strength goes out o' me. Millions of lights is in me eyes. There's a red mist au smoka Th' sea— millions o' seas—is bcatin in me ears— on me 'ead—beatin me back. Me breath stops. I choke—suffocata Me eyes grow dim. I oan't see. I am blind. Me knees tremble. I stretches out mo arms, but oan't find th' ropes. I try ter speak—no sound. I tries again—"Dear God, 'ave mercy—'is mother—oh, 'is mother"— Then suddon th' strength eomes back. I fly. Tommy falls. As I catchos him there's a crash in th' orchestra. Th' people soream. Th' rope parts, an down, down inter depths unknown we go—Tommy an me together.

"Better, ole man?" says a voioa 'Ere, drink it up, doary. An a woman was a-holdin my 'ead, an I could smell brandy. "Open yer eyes, dadda." I opened 'em. There was Tommy, dressed ter go 'ome an 'is big red comforter round 'is neck. There was Bob, with 'is right 'and tied up an lookin rather pale. "Wot's the matter, mate?". says I, pointin to it "Oh, on'y a bit of a burn. Yer see, a nipple 'ad fell out o' th' batten close ter Tommy's rope, an th' scene caught. I couldn't cut it away in time, so I 'as ter tear it an got er bit soorched. But th' little un's all right—ain't yer, Tommy? Lord love 'im! I'd 'a' rather lose both me arms than anythink should 'a' happened ter Tommy—ter Mary's baby," says 'e, a-pattin th' kid's 'ead.

Well, yer see, Bob's 'and wor wuss than 'e thought—'e's bin a "bouter" at th' 'ospital fer a week. But it's oar weddin day termorrer, an Bob's a-oom-in ter picker bit o' grub with us. Give us a light, miss, will yer? My pipe's gone clean out. Thank yer.

My missus cries w'en she thinks on it —says she's a-goin ter cut up 'is dinner fer 'im an kiss 'im 'cos she was mistook an 'cos o' wot 'e did fer Tommy. —Emily SoWone in Chicago Tribuna

Presidential Popular Vote.

There is widespread feeling in the country, if it does not amount to a positive conviction, that some of the laws regulating the method by which the choice of the people for the highest office in their gift is made have survived the period of their usefulness and ought to be revised and adapted to the conditions of the present time, which differ so widely from those existing when these laws were enacted. The indications are not obscure that there is a growing desire in the country to have the existing electoral plan re-examined, and possibly abandoned, so as to elect the president by a direct popular vote. There is at least enough of this feeling abroad to justify an impartial study of the subject from a nonpartisan standpoint, and with a view to do ample justice to the plan as it is as well as to ascertain whether it might be modified so as to bee me more republican in spirit and to work with greater equality among thollers of the states. —Rev. Bishop S. M. Merrill in North American 1 er»ew.

FOE LITTLE FOLKS.

TWO DISCOVERIES.

One Abont Finding America and the Otksr About the Minister. "Oh, Elsie, do you know Mr. Marshall doesn't know anything, hardly? He's just as ignorant I" said Patil to his oousin. "Why, Paul Durantl And he's a minister!" said Elsie with a shocked face. "Papa says he writes fine sermons." "Yes, but maybe ho reads them out of a book," said Paul. "Anyway, I guess he never went to school, for just now when I came out he was lying in the hammock, and he asked me, 'Who discovered America?' and I said, 'Christopher Columbus did, of course,' and he said, 'Did be?'" "Ob, icy!" said Elsia "I guess the Stone churcli people wouldn't have him if they knew it. Do you think we ought to tell Deacon Baxter?" "Perhaps we'd better

Wait

awhile,"

said Paul, 'cause he's only just got his things moved,

and

mamma says he's the

nicest man to board she ever knew. Let's go and sit down near him, and maybe he'll ask us something about it, and we'll tell him all we know, 'cause I feel so sorry for him."

The cousins seated themselves near the minister, with the kindest intentions, and he greeted them with a pleasant smila "Do you believe Columbus discovered America, Elsie?" he asked. "Paul says he did." "Why, yes, sir. I s'posed everybody knew that," said Elsia "Queen Isabella sold all her jewels to build him three ships, and when he got here he was so happy he kissed the ground." "Did he find any one here before him?" asked the minister. "Oh, yes,"said PauL "Indians—lots of 'em." "Well, then, it looks as if America was discovered before Columbus arrived," said the minister. "Then there were those other strange people who lived perhaps hundreds of years befbre and left high mounds and fortifications, beautiful vases, ornaments and weapons. They died and left no history. I havr thought sometimes that they may have discovered America. I've puzzled over it a good deal, so I'm glad to know."

The minister, with a merry twinkle in his eyes, took up his book, while Paul and Elsie went silently away. When they were out of hearing, Paul said: "I guess we won't have to tell Deaoon Baxter about it. He knows enough.'' "It's we that don't know everything," said Elsie.—Julia D. Peck in Youth's Companicn.

AM to Chlldrea and Paf.

Washington Irving has often been accused of saying that little dogs and children were influential members of French society. It is quite true that in the United States I never noticed that close and sentimental Intimacy between human beings and quadrupeds so frequently seen in Franoa American life is so activo, so desperately crowded, either usefully or socially, that perhaps it does not permit the loss of time inevitably brought about by friendly intercourse with a dog. As for children, I believe that their importance is equally great in all countries, but it asserts itself in a more noisy manner in America than anywhere elsa Everything is sacrificed to them, for they represent the future, which is all that counts in a country whose past is verv short and whose present is a period of high pressure development. Yet no one must suppose that, before presenting an apology for French children, I intend to malign American children, as oertain travelers have taken the liberty of doing very thougntlessly, although they had met them only on steamships, cars or at hotels, enjoying a holiday with that buoyanoy which is the characteristic mark of the whole race. I have known some who were very well brought up, even from our point of view, and among those who were not 1 have admired preoooious sense, vivacity of mind, quiet determination and capacity for self government—qualities which I should wish for all ours. —Th. Bentzon in Century.

Canada's Forest Wealth.

The forests of Canada have supplied more or less the wai^ of Europe for centuries. From tne cuiliest days of its occupation by the French the forest wealth of the country washed by the St. Lawrence engaged the attention of the government of France, who saw therein vast resouroes available for its naval yards. It drew from these forests large numbers of masts and spars and issued stringent regulations for the preservation of the standing oak. When the country was first oeded to Great Britain, but little attention was paid at first to its vast timber supply, owing to the faot that almost the whole of the Baltio trade was carried on in Britir' bottoms, and that the timber of northern Europe provided to unfailing and convenient return freight for the shipping thus ergaged. When, however, tile troubles of the Napoleonic era commenced, anc* especially when the continental blockade was enforced, the timber supplies of the Baltic becoming uncertain and insufficient, attention

Iron Foundations.

A h&W way of constructing ft'"solid foundation for a tall building has been tried with success in Berlin. It was neoessary to find a solid buso suffioientlj strong to carry a building weighing more than 10,000 tons. The plot of ground upon which the building was to stand was adjoined on both sides by high buildings, vhich rendered unsafe the digging to any depth for foundation. The only way out of the difficulty wus the sinking of a caisson in the ounter of the plot, upon the cemented top of which a hollow form of cement was built Into this form molten iron was poured, filling np the space, and upon this oast iron foundation plate the nnderstructure of the building now rests, while the side walls are supported by a oantalever struotura The full weight of the load upon the cast iron foundation iB estimated at more than 20,000 tons.—New Ideas.

Noah and Money,

'The financial situation, has caused considerable research on the subject," remarked tho oheerful idiot to his pastor the other day. "I suppose," he continued, 'that you have made study of the moneys of the Bible?" "Oh, yes," replied the minister blandly. "I am familiar, to be sure, with the Biblical coins." "I infer that paper money was used at the time of the flood,1' continued the idiot, sparring for a chance to. make a home thrust. "What has led you to this conclusion?" aeked the pastor. "Well, we read of where the dove brought the green back to Noah."— Washington Times. /-Vf*

Tne ChrUUaa Attltnd* of Prayer. The commonly received Christian atof prayer,* with bended knees and the palms of the hands brought together, is simply emblematic of abject submission. The hands thus placed cannot be used in defense. They simply say "Don't strike," just as the thrown up hands ot the unarmed horseman on the plains say "Don't shoot!" to approaching savages or outlaws. If to the kneeling attitude is added ahead thrown forward,. with eyes on the ground, the suggestion of abjectness is completa For the opposite idea take the olassio figure of the "Praying„Boy" iu the long gallery at the Museum of Fine Arts. He illustrates the pagan at tituda He stands at the utmost height of his young manhood and looks straight up to the sky, his arms are sent straight upward, too, and his extended palms seem to be taking trustfully the good things that the gods send. There is much that is beautiful—nothing abject or -cared or cowed about it The praying pagan boy seems to represent better the spirit of Christianity than does the kneeling monk with the bony, clasped hands.—Boston Transcript.

His One Oreat Trouble. -1"

An old, berdidden fisherman at a fashionable watering place was frequently visited during his last illness by a kiiui hearted clergyman who wore ono of those close fitting clerical vests which button behind.

The clergy man saw the near approach of death one day in the old man's faoe and asked if his mind was perfectly a. easa "Oo aye I'm a' rich," came the feeble reply. "You are sure there is nothing troubling you? Do not be afraid to tell me." I The old man seemed to hesitate, and at length, with a faint return of animation, 6aid: "Weel, there's just ane thing that troubles me, but JL dinuA like to speak o't" "Believe me, I am most anxious to 0dmfort you,"replied tho clergyman. "Tell me what it is that troubles and perplexes you." "Weel, sir, it's just like this," said the old man eagorly.

Labor

snmo form is the'means by

which the true wealth of a nation is increased, and it ought to be the means used to inorease the wealth of any individual. The varieties of labor are so numerous that every healthy man and woman can choose from among them, but to try to obtain money, much or little, without rendering in someway a fair equivalent for it is to live a life of dependence, which is equally disgraceful under whatever guise it may seek to hide itself.—New York Ledger.
