ties of the monkey s tail.
It coiled and uncoiled. It patted
the dog on the nose and encircled
his neck. The dog grew angry and
growled; the monkey danced and
smiled; the crowd cheered and
laughed.
After a display of tactics lasting
fully 10 minutes, both contestants
apparently through some tacit and
unspoken agreement, called a nait,
and the tail -withdrew with the
monkey. Fido seemed to have been
outclassed and to be nursing aching
jaws from snapping? at the atmos
phere. He had fought but it was
against the handicap of a wickedly
wielded tail.
'Some tail, commented a depart
ing fight fan.

Parrot Aids Woman
Trail Her Husband
Errant Spouse -Believed
on
Way to Winnipeg With
Woman
Crookston, Minn.', July 21. The
trail of a talking parrot and tobacco
juice is being followed by Mrs. Wil
liam Hawes in search of her run
away husband, who, she asserts, is
making for Canada with another wo
man. The trail was a week old
when the deserted wife took up the
search.
Without funds, Mrs. Hawes de
clared, she had followed the run
aways from their home in West Vir
ginia. Sometimes walking from town,
to town, sometimes riding on railroad
cars and at other times getting a
"lift" from passing automobiles, Mrs.
Hawes made it a point to ask at
every town she visited:
"Have you seen a man who chewed
tobacco with a woman and a talking
parrot in an automobile pass?
The combination was always re
membered, it seen, she said.
She believed her husband is heade
for Winnipeg and hopes to overtake
tne party before it gets to the border
to reclaim her parrot, her automobile
and, if possible, her husband.
Barrows Explains
Joke to Congressmen
Lincoln, July 21. (Special.)
Failure of the Nebraska representa
tives at Washington, D. C, to catch
the humor in a letter written by
Lieutenant Governor P. A. Barrows,
recommending himself as a possible
solution to the ' tie-mi over the ap
pointment of a United States mar
shal and telling the delegation he
would be a good officer as he always
reached the seat of trouble after the
trouble was over, necessitated the
ieutcnant governor writing the dele
gation today to explain the toke.
Kindly withdraw my name, Bar
rows said. I did not think when
wrote tne letter some time ago
that it would be taken seriously. It
was intended as a 'jolly' of the dele
gation in a good-natured way, and I
thought it would be so considered,
knowing that I was already a public
omcial.

State Demurrer
In Language Law
Suit Overruled
t .. t r, I .v...
Ob-
taincd by Lutheran Synod
Stills Holds Delay in
Trial Appears Certain.
Fremont, Neb., July 21. (Special
Telegram.) Suit of the German
Evangelical Lutheran Synod of Mis
souri to enjoin the governor and at
torney general of Nebraska from en
forcing the Reed-Norval act, on the
grounds that the law is unconstitu
tional, will be tried in the Dodge
county district court.
The action was started in the
Platte county district court, where
the synod obtained a temporary in
junction restraining the state from
preventing the teaching of Uerman
language, and the hearing for a per
mancnt order was held in Dodge
county with District Judge F. W.
Button presiding.
The state sought to show that a
court of equity was not the proper
place for a hearing and was over
ruled on its demurrer that there was
no cause for action. The case stands
just where it did before. The attor
neys for the defense attempted to
get quick action, in order to get the
case before the supreme court tor an
early decision, so that there would
be no interference with school next
fall. As the case now stands, Ger
man may be taught until the tempor
ary injunction s dissolved.
Ihe American Legion was inject
ed into the suit and was represented
at the hearing by Attorneys William
Ritchie and Anan Raymond ot Oma
ha. They took no part in the argu
ments, but will be heard wnen tne
case comes to trial.
Former Judge Alberts of Colum
bus, Arthur Mullen, Omaha, and At
torney Sandall of York, represented
the Synod. Myron Wheeler and
Charles Reed, the latter one of the
authors of the law, represented the
state. ' ,
Attorney Wheeler tangled with
the court when he argued for a de
murrer and asked the privilege of
added time for answering if it should
be overruled, stating that the state
would make a "dogged and persistent
fight in the case."
Wheeler and Judge Albert also
argued over the same phase and dur
ing the discussion Julge Button said
that he would overrule the demurrer
and put an end to the argument.
Judge Button leaves soon for
Colorado and announced that he did
not intend to change his plans for
this case. As a result months may
pass before the case is heard.

they heard that water falls from the
