JACKSON AND HIS MONKEYS By MICHAEL WHITE {i by Short Story Pub. Co.) ANY things are in the name of the viceroy and gov- ernor general in council for which his excellency can done For example, the notice in the Indian State rallway carriages pertaining the exclusion of dogs. If you were to ask the viceroy about that order he would probably look very much sur- prised, his excellency having no knowl- edge at all of said eanine ordinance, But this story has nothing to do with It coun cil governing i to dogs. relates to order in the triet overpopulated with nt monkeys being holy ani be in any way maltreated ing offense to Hindu dice, but on representation to the local authority divers persons are suffe depredations of authority shall order the deportation of his judgment will of the situation. admirable rule, but others, Is apt not to wor weil In practice. i majority of overpopulated an situation in Sald not onkeys mals, i th h ereby giv nreiy preju relic Teil that shopkeepers and other ring from monkeys, local and the sald capture nkeys as in as many t refief cordially wele: den of outside deities Vel » plous Hindu is pu mes what with his legion gods But Jackson, whe zzled at to do and other all trouble headn of Kotar reported measures were tu tection, not a grain bazaar certain bry ed ing fat by their they not tonly, and ti sacrileg left in the by swarn into did the presenc the heaven he will exe Monkeys, mudd w } holy of tissue he gray-whi tur deal before capt more of and bamboo e¢ ge landed them secur age of the dispatched by train billed Krishnapur, which inn named Foster, Jackson thought him out with the monk had recently done the deputy missioner of Krishnapur a friendly furn. He also felt he had performed his duty toward the people of Kot ar, until he received a polite letter from Voster, expressing his regret that he was unable to accommodate any more monkeys in his district, and advising Jackson to try some one else. So back came the grinning, chattering cage of monkeys. Jackson was, of course, dis- appointed to see the monkeys, but that was not all, far from it. The native station master of Kotar presented himself with a grave face "Sir," “the sahib will recol lect that when he ordered the monkeys sent away the cage. Now behold thers seven.

He wrote Foster an angry letter about it, promising to get even with him some day, and in the meantime ordered the monkeys sent on up the line to a man named Gardner. In ordinary elreum- stances it would have been easy to work oft the monkeys on Gardner, who, unlike Foster, was always willing to oblige a friend In an emergency But Jackson's carload of monkeys ar- rived just at the time that the Hindus were about to celebrate the feast of Hunuman, the monkey god. So what was more natural than that they should take it as a sign from the god himself that the auspicious hour had come to start a riot and belabor the great figures, but Jack seizing soften i of subjects, weads thelr Mohammedan fellow I'hus word was brought to Gardner that a sion, with tom-toms beat. ing, conch shells blowing, clubs bran- dishing, ar | much noise and dust, was on its way to the station receive the newly arrived monkey deities in all honer.

But what continued to puzzie him was that when the monkeys scrambled out of the cage, sixty thieving old rascals were added to the holy malefactors of his district, of Jackson chuckled when he denied adding the other twenty-nine, Garduoer said he had been too busy to bother with monkeys: #0 where they came from must remain an unan- swered question, unless, as Jackson holds, Hunuman, the monkey god, sent them by way of retribution for the way In which Foster tried to add to the trouble of a friend. Our Moose Larger Our American moose are similar to the elk of northern Europe and Si. beria, but larger in size, says Nature Magazine, They range in our north. ern forests from the mouth of the Yukon south and eastward to northern Minnesota and Maine. The Shiras moose Is somewhat segregated, rang- ing along the Rocky mountains Inte Wyoming, further south than any other species. i Winsome Patterns New Spring Woolens In- clude Plain Colors, White and Checked Designs.
