FRIDAY, FEBRUARY
" FUNERAL, OF A MONKEY. .
A Butte City Evangelist Delivers aa Ora
tion Over His Body.
A monkey named Jocko, which was
quite a character in the business cen
tre of Butte City, died the other day
and Kev. Mr. Rounder, who has a tab
ernacle there, thought him worthy of
a funeral oration. So the little body
was placed in a casket and carried sol
emnly out to the place of worship. Rev.
Mr. Rounder mounted the platform and
spoke as follows, according to the Ana
conda Standard: ' " " (
"God Almighty gave ' mankind' ten
commandments to show him how to
live right. ' Jocko was never given any
commandments, yet Jocko in his own'
way managed to average up pretty
well with the general run of mankind
even without , any commandments.
When Moses brought the ten com
mandments down from the mountain
there was one commandment which
said: 'Thou shalt not' swear.' Yet,
judging from what one hears at any
time up and down the street, swear.
Ing with the general of mankind has
come to be considered a manly accom
plishment, and the most fantastic
swearer is the most popular man. ,
"Mankind was commanded: 'Thou
shalt not kill,' yet every year murder
becomes more frequent. Then there
is another commandment Which man
kind has revised so as to require only
that women shall obey it. In these fin
de sicclo days the offense is pro
nounced to be no sin so far as man is
concerned. ,
" 'Thou shalt not covet' was another
command given to man. This does
not apply to any who might desire
that a pack of cards should be com
posed of fifty-two kings and queens.
"God did not help Jocko along by
giving him any commands, so he did
not know how to do right, but he
seemed to do better than most people
you meet. I must admit that Jocko
used to steal whenever he got a
chance, but he was never told by any
body not to steal, and with all his
stealing he never took any more than
he wanted for his own use. He never
robbed widows and orphans, and he
died with nothing on earth but the
hair on his hack. 1 ' '
"Jocko never bothered his head
about whether Fred Ritchie's monkey
was a heretic or not. Not knowing
himself whether he was orthodox or
not, he never wasted any time in try
ing to make everybody else believe aa
he did, except when he was after nuts.
He made no pretenslona to religion
and he was no hypocrite. Jocko waa
not exactly civilized, but ha never had
to take the Keeley cure; he never
smoked cigarettes, he never chewed
tobacco. Jocko never had a Ilible to
guide him, but he never forgot a
friend and he never betrayed a friend.
"Ilia wornt fault was that he was a
natural born thief, but he was born
'.list way. He was never told by hia
Creator not to steal, and if there la a
Heaven for monkeys I think Jocko la
going to hs closo tip to the throne
with a iiever-fuiliag Mipply of nuts
and lettuce, and enough ink to awitn
In."
NEW USE FOR CATS.
II .re Is a Man Who titrarts Elertrleity
to Hub a factory.
"I had a large cork and bung factory
In Grand avenue, and I needed power
to run my machinery,'' writes a Mil
waukecan in Harpcr'a Weekly. "Von
know, of couraa, that there 1 an lm-,
menae amount of stored up electricity
In a cat The problem for Inventors
has Wen to Invent a Way to extract it
profitably. In the rear of my factory
I count rue trd a otie-atory circular build
ing, some aixty feet In dlaineU-r. On
tbe floor of thla I ooiled a glaaa pipe
alx luetic In diameter. Tba Brat coil
ran around the outaide of tbe room,
the rolls gradually growing smaller,
till at last, In tbe center, it waa no
larger than table. It gave me some
thing like a mile of pipe. The top
and aides of thla pipe were lined with
rather stiff hair brushes, the bristles
being a little mure than an Inch ia
length.
"At that time Milwaukee waa over
run with rata. It waa Impoaallile to
sleep nig-Ms, I put a nolle In the pa
per that I would pay ln rnU a dufra
fur prime rata, delivered at my factory.
I got hlity dorcn the Aral day and

PURE
' CRUEL" SPORT IN CHlLl?
"Barro," the Dangdrout National rastlma.
In Which Fine Horsemen Participate.
The national pastime of Chili is the
'barro," which is played by th huas
cos, or Chilian horsemen, who are
splendid' riders; 'At every wayside
drinking shop there is a range Of posts
supporting a long rail, to which the
horses are tethered, Whenever a few
huascos meet a wager for -drinks is
sure to be put up. Then sides are
chosen, and the leaders first take their
places on horseback side by side, each
with his horse's chest close up to the
bar. The others mount ' and range
thomselves on each side in the same
position. Then the game begins. The
object of each side, acoording to Lon
don Tid-lJits, is to force its way along
to tho further end of the bar against
the opposition 6f the other party.
Each ; closes sideways with ; all his
might aud digs his hutfe rowels into
his horse's sides to keep h 's chest close
to the bar until they drop blood and
the cruel bits nro jerked viciously.
Yells of excitement and rage break
from the players as the pressure in
creases, and their lugs are crushed be
tween the hordes. The spectators are
equally excited. Even tho horses seem
to talce an intelligent part iu thb strug
gle, and a well-truhied mount will
frequently oust u rival from his place.
Progress along tho bur i.t, however,
very Blow, and whe n there nr a as many
as thirty or forty picked players a side
a whole day may bo spent without the
contest being decided. Horses ' and
men both suffer severely, legs are
crushed and broken, nnd at the end of
the struggle the riders have to be
helped from their saddles, and their
clothing has often to bo cut from the
swollen flesh. Unless a limb be bro
ken, the tough horseman is little
worse. A duy or two on his bock and
pure olive oil restore him to strength
and suppleturs. ;,.-.
