CUNNING PET MONKEY. Clever Creature Haliy luatrad of l'alllaic Its Earn, Jack, my pet monkey, is full of mis chief. One day he got into the kitchen, and whin the cook was not paying par ticular attention to him he jumped up on the table, seized a pan of water that was standing' there and emptied its contents on the sleeping cat, says a writer in the Cincinnati Enquirer. He never lost an opportunity to play a joke on old Tab. or on the vouager cats, either, for that matter. He often succeeded, when he was caged, in en ticing the cats close to the bars, when he would seize their ears and pull them until the victims fairly squealed. This habit of his was well known to MISS ANNA MORGAN. r-"j l ' i > This charming young lady, who is the eldest daughter of J. JPierpont Morgan, tfre famous financier and trust organizer, has recently completed a two weeks' hunt ing trip through the Colorado mountains, iri which lions, lynx, wildcats, foxes and coyotes fei) before her gun. She is .in excellent shot, and rarely misses her game. Miss Morgan was a member of the hunting party headed by Prof. Henry K. Os born. The party spent most of the time in the vicinity of Marvin Lake, 25 miles from Colorado Springs. a neighbor of mine, and once, when the was visiting me with her baby, the little one, unnoticed for the moment, crawled up to the cage to have a good look at Jack. The mother saw it and rushed to rescue tihe child, but. J&ck was too quick for her and had grasped it by the shoulders before she could reach the spot. He had no intention of puliitig its ears, however, for he drew it gently to the bars and kissed »4 right on the face. SOUND KEEPS FLIES AWAY.

More thai; 1.000 of the leading democrats of St. Louis and other parts of Missouri have already responded to the call of the Jefferson club, of St. Louis, to unveil a monument of red sienite on the sage's grave at Monticello on October 10. The pro moters of the memorial exercises propose to make the unveiling one of the most memorable occasions in the history of the democratic party. the musicians, with both hands busy playing, stood them, and I drew near the shell in which they sat to see. To ray surprise I found that there was not a fly in the shell, and then, to my greater surprise, I discovered why this was. The sound waves of the music, rolling with tremendous volume from the shell, kept out the flies. /The in sects could not fly against the waves, though they tried hard. Hundreds of them were struggling frantically to reach the shell, but they might as well have tried to fly against a tornado as against those sound wavyf Thus pro tected, inclosed by a nrogic curtain made of their own music, the musicians played Wagner, unannoyed by the sticky and pestering flies."

GOVERNMENTAL AID. Biirncti from Adilrcm Delivered by Col. J. 11. Killebrrw Uefore Teu- Deuee lload Convention. The general government, of the United States should aid in building the great highways, as was contem plated by the founders of the govern ment. In fact, the power given in the constitution to establish post offices and post roads might justly be con ctrued so as to includeall roads needed, for postal service. Itural mail deliv ery will necessitate thousands of such roads through the country districts. Why should not the general govern ment aid in building them? How could the government expend money that would do so much good to the people of this nation? Good roads would make the country moreattractive, and wo!iald tend t© relieve the congestion of population in the cities. The greatest draw back to country life is the inabil ity to move with ease from point to point, owing to the bad condition of the highways. Why cannot the gov- A .ML'DHOLE JUST AHEAD. {Roads Like This Make Driving in the Country a Torture.) ♦rntneot make appropriations for the highway® on land as well as the high way-6 .on -water? But few go over the latter, while millions .go over the for mer. Congress votes subsidies to rail roads. steamships and for mapping the teas of commerce. This is a very neces •ary aaid important work, but not more important than making the high ways on laJid. We all know how anxious congressmen are to get an ap propriation in the rivers and harbors bills for the improvement of some in significant stream in their state. How much wiser it would be to vote this ap propriation for making some highway betweeai two cities or between two •tal.e6. Hundreds of millions of dol lars iha<v« been wa-sted on streams that can newer be made navigable, which, if expended on our highways, W'ould give ns the best system of roads in the world. Snppose the general government should appropriate e*>er\y ten years an amount equal to that now expended for pensions, say, $150,000,000, for the building and improvements the roads of the country. This <w-oiald give, in round numbers, two dollars per .capita for the entire population .of the United States. This, continued for two gen erations, would grade, macadamize, and gravel every great public thor oughfare in the country, when aided by local appropriations. Who would begrudge the expendi ture after such roads have b<en built,? Who would not say that the expendi ture was a wise one, elevating in its influences and adding immensely to the tangible wealth and commerce of the country? We paid more than this amount in the expenditures of the Spanish war. Is there a single person who would not receive a benefit from good roads far greater than he re ceived from the Spanish war? Put it in another way: Is there a single per son now using the highways of the country, or whose business is in any way affected by the traffic on the high ways of the country (and this touches the business interests of every man and woman in the United States), who would not be willing to pay as much for good roads as he kas pwd for the war with Spain? In almost every material thing the United States takes the first rank ex cept in the matter of roads. In this re epect it is far behind the most en lightened nations. In all the states some good roads have been built, but would it not add immensely to the growth and prosperity of this country to have its highways improved so as to be in harmony with all its other great improvements? It is the one thing in which we are still lingering in the un relieved darkness of the Middle Ages; it is the one blot upon our escutcheon of material progress; it is the one thing that would benefit every man, woman and child in the United States, and yet we hesitate to do it. Objections are made by many that It is not the duty of the general gov ernment to aid in building roads; that if it did it would place upon the gen eral government the responsibility for the welfare of the people. But is not the general government responsible for the welfare of the people? The constitution gives the authority to build roads for postal service. Why not, then, build them? The improve ment of our rivers is done for the wel fare of the people. Why should not roads be built for their greater wel fare? Both are highways, one by wa ter, the other by land.
