MeAullay, employed as a brakeman in the Boston and Maine passenger yards at the North Sta- tion, Boston, successfully solved over twenty years ago a problem that scientists have been working on for a long period. MeAullay served in the navy during the Spanish War, and one, day while his ship was in Philippine waters, he and a number of shipmates were given shore leave for a short shooting trip. There. were. hundreds of monkeys in the trees near where the party landed. .laek though the monkeys looked so much like human beings that he asked his s-liipmates not to shoot. and they agreed not to molest the monkeys. Wlhile walking under the eoeorinut trees. McAullay picked up a tiny baby monkey. He carried the little fellow ‘a_broar_d ship and THE HAN WHO fed it on the bottle. The monkey thrived~and became a great favorite with the ship‘s crew. It was named (ylillispie. MeAullay, one of the kind- certam gestures. pasitions, chatterâ€" ings of Gillispie’s meant something. and he closely observed these, and mastered them, so that he and Gil- ispie could carry on a conversation in monkey talk and understand each other. After receiving an honorable dis- charge from the navy, McAullay went home to his parents in Wieâ€" hurn. Mass, and carried Gillispie with him. On arriving at his home. MeAullay said: “Gillispie, these are my father and mother, and I want von to take care of them.” The monkey understomj, because for el- even years he did look after Mc- Aniiay’s parents. __vâ€"'v‘~ Vvuiu got by the monkey on guard. When she returned. Gillispie would hand her the key. In cold weather, he would stay inside and guard the house. He would not get into any mischief or harm a thing in the house. Gillispie died when he was hirteon years old. I have been with McAullay at both the Boston and New York Zoos, and ham seen him talk to monkeys in tho rage, when they crowded up to the bars and shook hands with him. some monkeys the keepers claimed were savage and unsafe to go near; norm-:livlrss.

His name was St. Clair, but he called himself MaeSinclair so as not to ap- pear odd among the Highlandmen.

Her great grand- father had been in one of Wolfe’s Seoteh regiments at Quebec and when the campaign was over, he married a French-Canadiai girl named Laval, and settled in a French district. He spoke French.! and the children never learned to speak English or Gaelic.

Guest ...... mm @ 12.06 A case in County Court which aroused considerable interest was recently tried by Judge Grieg, the taking of the evidence requiring two full days. This was an action by Mrs. Boyle of Wiarton to recover damages for breaking her arm at a slippery crossing. The accident took place in front of the property of Mr. Ewald, a Wiarton merchant. It apâ€" wars that he had the snow shovelled away from his place with the ex- ception of one crossing leading to his barn. Mrs. Boyle brought action against Ewald and the town of Wiarton jointly. Judge Grieg gave the plaintiff $500 damages. The de- fendant, Ewald, appealed against the judgment. The appeal was heard at the Court of Appeal, Osgoode Hall, 'l‘o1onto, last week. David RODCPL- son, K. C. appeared for Mrs. Boyle, and T. N. R. Phelan of Toronto for Ewald. The Court up held the desi- sion of Judge Grieg pand dismissed the appeal.
