C Underwood, Atty N for Plaint APE EXPERT MONEY TESTER Said to Be Impossible to Fool Anlmala of Siam With Any Counter feit Money. The people of Siam ore very fond of keeping monkeys of various kind* as pets. Owing to llielr close assocf- j ntion with human beings, these crea ture become very Intelligent. One ol Hie- most remarkable tilings' that tlii- •• monkeys can do ts to test ; money. In Siam there is a large amount of counterfeit money, perhaps mote limn in any other country in the : world. As a consequence, the lot of j the nien-lmnt is a difficult one. They ; I vi however, surmounted the trou ble to a large extent by muklng use jof ape- to test the coins. .Sitting by tin- side of eaeli merchant Is to be ~oen a hidcmn-faced ape. Every piece of money handed to his master Is at once given to the ape. The animal tests the coin with Ills teeth. If It is good, he throws It into the money box if it lie bud he tllngs it to the ground. The strange part about the busl ne -j is that no white person bus yet been abb- to discover how the apes tell tiie good money from the hud. The merchants politely refuse to explain how the creatures are trained to carry out tills useful office. The only sure thing about the affair Is that the apes never make a mistake. STATUES THAT HOLD SPIRITS Buddhists Firmly Believe That Souls of Long Departed Bages Ar* Present in Images. Mateo Polo, the celebrated Venetian traveler, with Ids two uncles, was the llrst European to travel In China. In tin-gild> | statue erected to his memory in In,vv. China, the Chinese be lieve Ids spirit still resides. Accord ing to i Id nose superstition, a fly or spider Is the means by which the spirits ot the dead are coaxed buck to earth to occupy their statues. Five hundred similar statues, life sire, line the walls of a dimly lighted room In the Buddhist temple of that undent city. They contain the spirits of the - ,ges they represent, devout Buddhists believe. A spirit Is unable to enter a statue mile s another and freshly liberuted spirit is there to receive It, suy the priests. Through u door in the buck of a new statue, therefore, ft spider or fly is introduced. The door Is then sealed and the Insect Is left to smother. lis spirit, fluttering about Inside the statue, is taken possession of by the soul of the long departed sage. Marco Polo was brought hack In this way, the priests say. Worshipers burn In cense before tlit‘ statue and seek com munion with the spirit of the alien who dwell so long In Chirm, and even ruled as governor of one of the provinces. Story of the High Heel. The high heeled shoe was intro duced RU the Middle ages, when both men nail women took to It. Man, however, soon found that he could not live a man's life and do a man's work while wearing high heels, nnd so rosmned his low-lieeled shoes, leaving high heels to the Indies, with whom they have always been popu lar. «- , The modern high heel Is, In Its way, a triumph of art, being of wood, which Is lighter than leather and keeps Its shape, dlit' heel contains a spring, which adds to the grace of Its wear er's walk. As the Inslop Is raised the figure is thrown slightly forward, uud a pronounced elegance Is the result. But It most be admitted the high heels, though Improving the appearance, do not always improve the physique of their wearers, and are frequently the cause of 111-health. Famous Explorer. l oifls Hennepin, a French Recollet friar, missionary and traveler In North America, was horn at Ath, In Flanders, about ItHO. lie embarked for Canada attd arrived in Quebec In 1076. Be tween that period and 1682 he ex plored the regions afterwards called Louisiana, and. returning to Europe, published an account of his researches. The 'graphical portions of his works are feeble, but they present much In terest us de-‘ rlptlons of the manners of the aboriginal races which the uu thor vi-ltcd. He died In Utrecht I about ITIHt. Chinese Have Fondness for Birds. In addition to using birds and their nests as food, the Chinese keep birds tut pets. Their fondness for birds Is 1 op;> of the most pleasant features of their rational character. Birds furnish them with much amusement. Several kinds of bird pets are taught to i all'll seeds thrown into the air after jumping from perches held lu the hand Except In winter, one can always see people going Into the open country early In the morning with their p« ts, to catch grasshopper* to teed them, uud to teach their pets new Balked at Wearing Old Costume*.

BURCH, Sheriff. * Vote AGAINST ‘ Peach County” WHAT would you say to a proposal that Georgia be chipped away to form new states? Who would dare attempt it? Georgia, proud member of the original thirteen colonies, in earlier gen erations gave of her wilderness at the westward that younger states might be born. But the times no longer call for sacrifice. And Georgia remains an empire. Who would demand that Georgia give again, in order that Jacksonville might constitute itself the capital of a slate of its own? Or Chattanooga do likewise? . . No one would be so foolhardy. UNLESS 1 HERE WERE MONEY IN IT. Then the Big Lobby that operates around the Capitol in Atlanta would cuddle up to the job. It might even originate the idea. It operates now on merely a smaller scale, this Big Lobby does. But with equal impu dence. It stire “new county” proposals.

A COUNTY WHOSE VITAL ROADS WOULD CROSS NEQ irCifc.D CORNERS OF OTHER TERRITO RIES. A county of a few white scions of tha hardy folk who made it, and of a dominating multitude of their slaves’ descendants. * • • • Only once before new has this matter been considered on its merits. The legislative Com mittee on Amendments to the Constitution listened to all who were qualified to bear wit ness r* r argue either for or against. And that committee voted "NO" by nearly two to one. You can surmise why the bill was passed >ver the committee’s head. You can picture tie Big Lobby at work. Chuckling, gurgling, wheeling. Cajoling, petting, threatening, prom ising flatter: g, while honest citizens slept. You can imagine the homely humor, the home grown good fellowship of hours late and early. It was magic grossly wrought. But it caused its victims to thrust this impudence before you. for your signature on the dotted line.
