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
