Bolger The McHenry Druggist Monkey Rescues Pal ' From Trap of Keeper Providence, R. I.--The best laid plans of mice and men and Billy Overton "gnng aft ajrley." One of Mr. Overton's pl&ns went agley the other morning. As he Is keeper of the menagerie at Roger Williams park, he has been spending much of his time recently pondering over ways and means hy which one might capture a monkey. Severul monkeys, once of the park mound but now of more cosmopolitan address, have been wandering at will through the former property of Roger Williams ever since they escaped. Less irked than piqued at the treachery of his pets, Keeper Overton ruminated at some length and then took steps. A fashionable box, nile green with snede trimmings, caught with orange blossoms and sturdy nails, was placed on a prominent hillock close to the monkey mound. Inside was placed a banana, a de luxe edition of a banana ripe, yellow, luscious and otherwise tempting. A sliding dpor of the box was pulled up so that any monkey chancing by would observe that there was an opportunity to appease the inner monkey In a proper manner. Night fell as softly as usual, bat the day dawned with a crash. One of the first sights to greet Keeper Overton as he appeared for the day's labor was a rapidly approaching yonng man who flapped his arms wildly, withal crylpg, "There's a monkey in the trap, there's a monkey In the trap!" "You wouldn't fool me?" demanded Keeper Overton. "There's a monkey In the trap, there's a--" So the two men hurried to the hillock. They arrived just In time to see one monkey dash over to the trap, pull up the door that had descended and release another monkey. The latter, tidily brushing banana from his whiskers, scoooted away followed by his true friend.

They form an exhibition of books illustrating the most beautiful and expensive British and foreign printing during the last ten years. Centuries-old Chinese manuscripts and illuminated books from the monasteries of medieval Europe are exhibited in the same room as these masterpieces of post-war printing which attracted the attention of printers whose names are famous among book collectors In the two hemispheres. Books from the leading presses of England, Scotland, the United States, France, Germany, Holland. Spain, Italy, Poland and Belgium are included in the collection. They have all been printed within the last ten years, and experts are unanimous that the art of the printer has greatly Improved since the opening •f^lttie Twentieth century. the Sam* V'V/'.' •• IHro friends met one day gan to discuss the various events which had taken place In their lives since last they met--a year ago. "I've not done anything much at my job," said one. "I took a job as groom, and I've not had a minute's peace since!--on the go. day and night, and ordered about--" "That's just how I've been treated I" broke In the other. "You!" said the first, surprised. "How can you be putting up with my sort of life?--you never took on as a groom!" "I did," said the other, glooniltjr. "I took on as a bridegroom !** f Fmk of Striking Clock The bell on the house of parliament in London may be heard for a distance of four miles and within that radius there are points where It is possible to hear the clock strike 22, through the combined utilization of the wireless and the sound waves. This Is at eleven o'clock each divy when the time signals are sent out from Daventry. There Is an interval of 4% seconds between the strikes and at a distance of four miles, five or six strokes are heard by wireless before the first of the sound waves and then five or six afterwards so that under these conditions it is possible to hear the t>ell, "Big Ben," give off 22 strokes. Mysterious Crows Crows which talk have been found near Weenen in Natal. Their remarks are libelous. They say to the natives of the district: "There will be no rain; you have killed your chief." They have started a first class scandal about the death of Muzueitawa.vo, once chief of the Mennu, who died of dropsy. The natives are flocking from all the sur rounding districts to hear them. The key to the mystery, suggests a Natal paper, Is the fact that the crows only speak when a certain head boy is present. There is nothing to (irove that they have been corrupted by a Maritzburg parrot. Bokhara Tea Drinkers The manner of drinking tea varies from country to country. In Bokhara every man carries a small bag of tea about with him and, when assailed by thirst, hunts up the nearest tea booth and has the boothkeeper brew a pot of tea. The Bokhara breakfast beverage is Schirechaj--tea in which bread is soaked and which is flavored with milk, cream or mutton fat. During the day the drinker takes tea with cakes of flour and mutton suet. After drinking he eats the tea leaves, which are considered a great delicacy; •I Crael Johnson nev^t dared ask anyone to his home. His wife was unpopular with visitors. "Aren't you going to ask your friend Tompkins and his fiancee to" our home?" she asked one evening. "Not much!" replied the husband, who preferred to entertafh his friends at restaurants. "You dislikVhlm, don't you?" was Mrs. Johnson's next query. "A little," answered the husband, 'but not enough for that" Skat Out Temptation If a man instantly turned his ears and mind away, the assault would be easily repulsed; but as soon as he opens his ears so far as to dwell upon and dally with temptation, he Is already well-nigh conquered, and the strife is at the hardest.--John Taoler.
