MONKEYS IN BATTLE.
They Fight Under Leaders and Roll
Stones on Enemies.
Aesop's ape. it will be remembered,
wept on passing through a human
graveyard, overcome with sorrow for
Its dead ancestors, and that all mon
keys are willing enough to be more
like us than they are they show by
their mimicry.
An old authority tells that the easiest
way to capture apes Is for the hunter
to pretend to shave himself, then to
wash his face, till the basin with a sort
of birdlime and leave it for the apes
to blind themselves. If the Chinese
story is to Ik1 believed the imitative
craze is even more fatal in another
way, for if you shoot one monkey of
a band with a poisoned arrow its neigb
Dor, jealous of so unusual a decoration,
will snatch the arrow from it and stab
itself, only to have it torn away by a
third, until in succession the whole
troop has committed suicide.
In their wild life baboons as well ns
many varieties of the monkey tribe
undoubtedly submit to the authority of
recognized leaders. There Is co-opera
tion between them to the extent that
when fighting in company one will go
to the help of another which is hard
pressed.
In rocky ground they roll down stones
upon their enemies, and when making
a raid, as on an orchard which they be
lieve to be guarded, the attack is con
ducted on an organized plan, sentries
being posted and scouts thrown out,
which gradually feel their way forward
to make sure that the const is clear,
while the main body remains in con
cealment behind until told that the road
Is open.
From the fact that the sentries stay
posted throughout the raid, getting for
themselves no share of the plunder, It
has been assumed that there must be
some sort of division of the proceeds
afterward. Man, again, has been dif
ferentiated from all other creatures as
being a tool using animal, but more
than one kind of monkey takes a stone
in its hand and with it breaks the nuts
which are too hard to be cracked with
the teeth.—London Globe.

And on the motion the bid of Town
send Bridge Go. was accepted, same
being the lowest and best bid. Said
bridge to be built in accordance with
the plans and specifications on tile in
the county clerks office.
And whereas, this board finds that
the location upon which said bridge
was to be uuilt is unsuitable for said
bridge and that there is no running
stream at said location and that it
would be an unnecessary and illegal
expenditure of public money to con
struct a bridge at said location.
And whereas, said Townsend Bridge
Go. has not yet commenced the con
strnction of said bridge.
And whereas, said bridge ought to
be built in accordance with said plans
and specifications at a point upon and
across the Elkhorn river at a short
distance from the location heretofore
elected, said point to be determined
by the board, with a reasobable time.
Now, therefore, I move that the
contract for said bridge be suspended
temporarily, and that the Townsend
Bridge Co. be instruoted not to begin
the construction of said bridge until
