may be seen a curious-looking ape. It
is a member of the species known as
Kuereza."
Herr Schilling, an African traveler,
shot It near Kllmandschiuo, tn Ger
man East Africa, but the animal was
not badly wounded, and he soon suc
ceeded in restoring It to health.
This Is the first adult "guereza"
which has ever been seen In captiv
ity In Europe. Three young apes of
.1 somewhat similar type, whose home
Is in Abyssinia, were captured some
time ago. but died very soon after
they were photographed.
An Interesting fact about the "gue-
rezas is that they hold a regular con
cert In their native woods every night.
which, while not very musical, since
It consists merely of a succession of
growls, produces a startling effect on
tho.-e who hear It for the first time.

Time Brings Changes.
"Well, doaies-t," he wrote-. "It Is
the old, old story, this story of love,
the divine music of the heart. It la
the basis of all the world's poetry anil
song; we never grow tired of it or
desire any change in Its main fea
tures. I can come as near describing
my delight in getting your letter as
In describing the fragrance of the
rose or the beauty of a sunset. Each
word you write lakes on a new mean
ing as It drops from your pen. There
clusters around the little Incidents of
our acquaintance the sweetest, ten
derest memories. I look I see your
face. I look forward and It. is there
It is entwined in every hope, wrapped
up In every toy." And now she la
suing hiin for breach ot promise!
She Wanted to Know.
A Chicago dentist tells this story:
"Some years ago a young woman re
cently from the Emerald Isle called at
my office to have some dental work
done. I examined her teeth and found
that among them was one so badly
wasted that It was not worth filling. I
told her this. 'How long,' she asked,
'do you think it would last if It were
filled?' 'I have no Idea,' I replied.
'Not very long, anyway.' 'Well, how
long do you think?" she persisted. 'I
cannot say,' I returned. 'I would not
guarantee it for any length ot time.'
Still anxious an.i determined to secure
a favorable and definite answer, she
asked: 'Will it last longer than yon
thluk It will?' "
