The Helpful Monkeys. In annihilating prices and cutting, pulling and slashing down clothing the three caged monkeys on exhibition in the show window of J. M. Gidding & Co. took a hand recently. By some means they got the cage door open in the absence of the proprietors and they came out free as the air to inspect things generally. Their chief amuse ment was in biting and pulling off every price mark they found, upsetting the dressed figures and arranging things generally in the show window more to comport with monkey taste and fashion. If the window was not the handsomest in town after a few hours industrious effort on the part of the monkeys it was certainly the most attractive, and prices were certainly cut down, and so was every article of clothing. While the long-tailed monk ey's were the most industrious, and displayed the finest taste in arranging things, old brownie, the boss, took an elevated position on the top of the cage and looked on with an over seeing and supervising eye. He was content to know the work before them was being attended to all right by the ring-tailed monkeys, and he simply appropriated to his own use about everything they found that was chew able or digestible. As an advertising scheme monkeys will do, perhaps, if you can keep them caged. No charge for this ad. as Mr. Gidding still re tains the monkey's for general edifica tion and. without regard to cost. Hon. C. R. Buckalew went to Sullivan County on Tuesday afternoon to resume the canvas he has been pushing so vigorously for several weeks for the congressional nomination. ,, 1894.
