JACKSON
AND HIS
MONKEYS

ANY things are in the

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,

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

of his own undesirable monkeys. 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

The viceroy went on to see the

by carrying along a carload of holy
monkeys, and Foster spent more than
one anxious night before he felt re.
