Keepers Put Ban on Dances in Zoo
WASHINGTON. Keepers at the Na
tional Zoological park are horror
stricken. Monkeys there are doing
the "turkey trout" and the "grizzly
bear." The little animals do the
dances in the most unapproved style.
Where the monkeys discovered the
dance is the mystery that Is puzzling
the keepers. Some believe that It
must have been danced in the house
fcy some enthusiast. Others contend
that it Is the result of the monkeys'
"'artistic temperament."
That the monkeys were indulging
In the disfavored dance was discover
ed yesterday when a passing keeper
happened to see Julius Caesar, the
Jdean of the monkey house, and Cleo
patra, the fascinating, heart-breaking
first lady of monkeyland , going
through the Intricate steps of the
dance.
He stopped, he looked, and he listen
ed. The face of Julius, according to
the keeper, was lighted up with a grin
which seemed to denote a happiness
and a self-satisfaction that has been
strangely missing from the guests of
the rustic mansion overlooking beau
tiful Rock creek ever since the keep
ers found it advisable to give them
cold-storage eggs In lieu of the fresh
laid kind.
The keeper who discovered the
monkey's dancing said that In a few
minutes the entire population ot the
monkeys' cage was swaying to the
steps of the dance. He said that it
seemed so UfeUke that he was almost
convinced that he heard Julius say to
Cleo. "Everybody's Doing If and
"Roll Tour Eyes. My Honey."
The two monkeys that have set the
fashion, according to the keeper, do
not seem to approve of the younger
monkeys Indulging In It, and stopped
dancing In a vain endeavor to have
them desist '
Chief Justice Fuller Was Courteous
JUSTICE HARLAN and Chief Jus
tice Fuller were riding home one
evening on the back platform of a
oar, preferring that to a seat in order
to smoke. The door of the car was
open, and at Intervals smoke from
their cigars drifted In. Noticing this,
the conductor informed them that
smoking was prohibited.
"But," objected Justice Harlan, "the
wind carries the smoke to the south
and we are traveling north."
"That's all right, mister; but them's
my orders," Insisted the knight of the
bell rope.
During the conversation Justice
Puller had stepped down on the car
step and hidden himself behind the
mammoth physique ot his argumenta
tive friend. He was enjoying his cigar
to the fullest extent.
"Orders are orders, I know," con
tinued Justice Harlan, determined to
convince the conductor by logic of the
lolly of blind obedience; "but there
are cases where a law coercive at
one time may at another be void. Al
low me to cite a certain case In our
common law statute book "
"I take my orders from the supe.
and I don't care about no law!" per
sisted the conductor stubbornly.
The car had turned Into Fifteenth
street by this time.
The little chief Justice was Just
lighting his second cigar, entirely dis
interested In the plea ot bis learned
colleague.
As the car reached their destina
tion, JuBt above TJ street on Four
teenth, both men alighted. Chief Jus
tice Fuller stepped down from the
car and gravely ottered Justice Har
lan the stump of his cigar as a light
er. It was his third! To his credit,
though, he did not smile nor make
any reference to that fact. Nor did
he pass any opinion on the case that
had Just been tried before him. Which
goes to show what a truly courteous
gentleman the late chief Justice of the
.United States really was.
Roughness in Reviving Is Not Assault
A CHARGE of assault, which had
been pending against William
Hart, a foreman in the employ of the
Washington Gasoline company, was
dismissed by Judge Pugh in police
court the other day. The charge
against Hart had a peculiar origin.
He was foreman of a gang of men
who were working in the gas mains In
Takoma Park this winter. December
7 12 of the men were overcome by
gas and several of them had narrow
escapes from death. Hart, with the
assistance of Dr. Archibald L. Miller
and several citizens of Takoma. got
the men out of the trench and revived
all of them but one.
The man was In such a serious con
dition from the effects of the gas that
he failed to respond to the methods
used, and Hart adopted strenuous
means of bringing him around.
Bystanders, Including Dr. Miller,
who Is a dentist at Takoma Park, ob
jected to Hart's manner of resuscitat
ing men overcome by gas, and the
assault charge was filed. Hart entered
a plea of not guilty and demanded
Jury trial.
After considerable delay the case
was called up, when Hart withdrew
his plea and demand for a JJury trial,
and asked Judge Pugh to dispose of
the case at once. Hart explained that
the method he used was one be had
used successfully in many other cases.
and that it has always been successful.
The court held that If men who help
resuscitate persons overcome by
gas or almost drowned are to be pros
ecuted for the necessarily rough treat
ment that must be administered a feel
ing of timidity will obtain, which may
result in the death of many who otb
erwise might be revived.

wall itself Is several times wider than
the alleyways along which pedestrians
and rickshas make their devious and
difficult way in that part of the city.
The space acquired by the removal of
the wall should therefore, if used to
best advantage, be of considerable
value.
It appears to have been suddenly
discovered that the wall is useless as
a means 'of defense and that it is an
ngly impediment to the development
and improvement of the native quar
ters. The work was put in hand im
mediately the order went forth from
the town hall works department that
it was to be executed without fail. -
The owners and Inhabitants of
shanties on the wall have been or
dered to remove these, and any
fences, material, etc., which would
Impede the progress of the work. An
outcry might have been expected,
since the scheme had been strongly op
posed, but the order has been quietly
accepted. In fact very little Interest
seems to have been aroused by the
work, even though it inaugurates a
striking change.
Two of the principal gates in the
city wall of Hangchow have been
removed. At Canton the republican
government has ordered an investiga
tion as to the population and the num
ber of houses along the wall inside
and outside the city. The officials
deputed to the work are to report
in a month, submitting a list ot the
houses and residents, together with a
scheme for the demolition ot the en
tire city wall.
RISE AND FALL OF MINE TOWNS
Bubble of Popularity Frequently la
Quickly Punctured In Many
Gold Camps.
Vancouver, B. C. "It don't take
long to . puncture the bubble of a
town's popularity," remarked Paul C.
Stephens, formerly of Washington, at
the New Ebbltt. Mr. Stephens has
been In nearly every mining camp
which has sprung up In recent years
in the west, Alaska and British Co
lumbia. "The average person In the
east," he continued, "does not com
prehend what great gold mines there
are in the small places of the west
about which one hears but little. Take
Nevada, for Instance. I think the
largest gold producing mine In the
world Is located there, near Goldfield,
which yields more than $1,000,000 a
month. In Colorado there are scores
of mines that are yielding fortunes,
but they are rarely heard of. Gold
field, Nev at the time of the boom,
grew Into a city of nearly 30,000 popu
lation. Today, with the fever gone, It
has scarcely 3,000. Rawhide, which
was another of the great gold 'finds,'
had at one time more than 20,000 peo
ple, but there are not more than 300
or 400 residents there today.
"The realty values of Goldfield have
depreciated so muofc. that property is
worth comparatively little. Lots that
were selling during the boom for as
high as 50,000 are offered now for
$2,000, and there are no buyers. It is
almost sad to walk the streets of
Goldfield and see the vacant business
blocks that were erected by investors
who were carried away for the mo
ment by the gold craze.
"In British Columbia, on the Frazler
river, is a little place called Barkers
ville, which Is populated by perhaps 75
or 100 persons, mostly Chinamen.
There was a time when Barkersville
had 30,000 people In It and was a
thriving mining camp."
Clock Rescues Family.
Springfield, O. Because an alarm
clock was set at the wrong hour, the
family of Harry Barrett was saved
from being asphyxiated the other
night. The little daughter of Mr.
Barrett turned the key of the gas
stove. At midnight the alarm clock
aroused Mr. Barrett, who was partly
suffocated, but was able to stagger to
the stove and close the valve.
HOLIES in AFRICA
High Standard of Refinement
Exists Among the Dutch.
Boers Are the Backbone of Country
"Colored Help" Proves to Be
Household Problem Abund
ance of Work for Men.
Cape Town, Africa. In South Af
rica there are many and varied influ-i
ences at work shaping the character
of the country in its home life no
less than in a political sense. When
we read and speak of the lack of re
finement exhibited in the homes of the
Boers we must not forget that there
is another section of the Dutch popu
lation of British South Africa. There
is a very high and very exact standard
of refinement in hundreds of old Dutch
families in the Cape peninsula, fam
ilies in which the traditions of ages
back are carried out to the letter,
whether they stand for niceties of do
mestic life or its warm-hearted hospi
talities. There are four colonies in the union
of South Africa, and each has its own
characteristics; every nation under
the sun has given its quota to the peo
ple of those four distinctive countries;
the two dominating races are Just in
the midst of a process of settlement
of the many questions that have vexed
them for the last ten years; and be
hind all this there Is the great fact of
the problem of white and black. These
are the elements of which the colonist
jmust form some sort of sympathetic
'estimate.
A common objective for all blame is
the colored servant question. But
many a tired and seasoned South
American housekeeper would not give
up her "colored labor" for any other
(that could be supplied in Its place.
The disasters of the system come
from the abuse of it. A great many
of the women who employ black ser
vants In South Africa have the most
Imperfect way to treat or manage a
servant of any sort.
As to the routine of every day life
in South Africa, there is not very
much to mark that as being distinct
from the routine anywhere else. Men
work hard; the demands of commer
cial life are heavy, and the "slacker"
Is useless; in short, there are many

men who discover for the first tin
when they reach Africa how much
work they are able to do. The cli
mate is energizing, however, and
work does not kill.
Not always with perfect justifica
tion, perhaps, the South African
comes to look on life with a certain
detachment; he does all that he. ought
to do, but does it carelessly, as if it
were less than noteworthy. He does
not become flurried; he dines at night
and takes plenty of time over it
and he appears to be careless of
money even when he is not really
so. Such an attitude as this brings
much satisfaction, and the man who
lias that attitude cannot very well be
charged with vulgarity or with the
error of missing the whole meaning
of life.
TREES CLAIMED BY OCEAN
riahea Swim Where Once Were Held
the Drills of Soldiers on the
Island of Panay.
Panay, P. I. From Fort San Pedro
to the outskirts of Oton, including all
of the beach side of Hollo city, the sea
currents are rapidly washing away
the sand and gravel and allowing the
sea to encroach on the mainland at a
dangerous rate. Old residents tell us
that where the water now reaches
was formerly solid ground; that sol
diers were once drilled where now the
fishes swim. .
During the high tides of a few
months since probably a hundred
large cocoanut trees were literally
washed up by the roots on account ef
the beach having been gradually
swept away to such an extent that
the waves could beat against them.
These trees had been growing along
the water front for many years and
only fell after they had been under
lined by the constantly encroaching
water.
The property along this beach is val
uable and should be protected. Not
only is It valuable, but some of it
constitutes the most beautiful part of
this city, and for this reason also
should be protected.
We suggest that steps be taken to
have government engineers look into
this matter with a view of making
recommendations for some kind of
protection against the constant wear
ing away of this valuable and beauti
ful part of our city.
How the Dimes Grow
Wonderful how easy it is to break a dollar and spend it
a dime at a time. But it is just as easy to save a dollar a
dime at a time if you cultivate the habit. Dimes grow into
dollars rapidly and a dollar working for you helps you in
getting the dollars you are working for. "We help you culti
vate the saving habit, and the dollars you save we will put
to work for you. Make your dollars work- for you and in
time you'll not need to work so hard for them. .

decade of successful business is the record we offer for your
consideration.
