MONKEY IN COURT
STIRS UP MAGISTRATE
(New York Sun.)
"Mrs. Jennie Osterloh," called out
Policeman Nachbar in the Harlem
court yesterday afternoon.
A little woman with a big peach bas
ket hat and a loose fitting' black coat
stepped smartly before Magistrate
Breen. She and her husband had been
arrested on the complaint of Jennie
Williams, who objected to a racket
that had! 'been raised in the Osterloh
flat at 2116 Lexington avenue.
"Now, madam, step up and tell the
Magistrate your side of " but that
was a. far as. the policeman got. He
had turned to brush some of the other
prisoners off the bridge and had jostled
against. the woman's side. A terrible
shriek sounded through the court
room, followed by a. storm of angry
chattering.
The Magistrate jumped as if some
body had nuked' a tack up through the
wicker seat of his chair. But Mrs.
Osterloh wasn't a bit perturbed. She
merely pushed i back the fold of her
coat, stroked a little brown head and
said soothingly:
"Poor Joko. poor Joko, what did the
rough man do to you?"
The Magistrate arose and leaned over
the desk.
"Madam, is that a monkey you have
in this court room?" said he sternly.
"It is," Mrs. Osterloh replied, sur
prised that the Magistrate should
doubt it.
"Well, I declare!" said the Magis
trate. Then he asked a question or
two, but every minute or two he was
interrupted by Joko. Finally turning
to the clerk he exclaimed:
"Set this down for another day, and
you, madam, see that you leave that
monkey at home!"
"I was afraid it would get into mis
chief at home. Judge," said she.
BOY BUMAN SLATE
LETTERS WRITTEN ON BACK
CAN BE BEAD 21 FEET
St. Louis. Mo., April 23. Edward
Far-ran, 19 yeers old, is a human slate.
Letters or figures written on his back
with a blunt Instrument can be read
at a distance of twenty feet. Farran
is a patient art the City Hospital, where
his peculiar ailment is causing general
interest.
The disease from which he suffers
is known ae urticaria. It is charac
terized by a redness of the skin, due
to an inflamed condition of the tips of
the nerves. It is said to be due to
becoming overheated and then rapidly
reducing the temperature of the body.
Letters written on Farran's back
with a slate pencil or the end of a
match r:se in welts and become as
white as snow. They remain visible
for an hour, and then gradually fade
away, or they can 6e erased with a
wet sponge.
Physicians say Farran will be well
in a few days.

look: here and you'll do well
There is a time in every man's ca
reer when his tastes change for bet
ter or worse in one case he retro
grades, in the other he progresses.
The first is only the swift road to fail
ure and the second is gradually cov
ering the distance between himself
and success while each direction is
invariably made plain to the observer
by the clothes he wears. When a
man gives up his tailor and fails into
the ready made clothes class, he sac
rifices a feeling of pride he has pre
viously manifested in his personal
appearance. The ready made clothes
perhaps in themselves may not be un
becoming or denotative of extreme
cheapness, but It is the demoralizing
effect the thought of retrogression
going backward or losing interest in
matters so absolutely personal as dress
has upon the tranquility of the
mind. The man Who knows his
clothes are the production of the high
grade tailors' art has confidence in
himself that radiates among the peo
ple with whom he comes in contact
and inspires an identical feeling in
them. Such a man can and does suc
ceed. Tt pays to be well dressed on
all occasions and to be well dressed
one must have a tailor. There is
nothing distinctive about selecting a
suit from a pile of clothing on a show
counter any one. can do this but
you're the only one who can have a
suit built to your own personal meas
urements and characteristics. In this
way you get an individual style and
your own selection of goods from an
almost unlimited stock of patterns.
The kind of clothes you can make no
mistake about are those Wheale makes
at 1042 Main street. Every suit he
builds simply shouts style and good
taste. If you feel your tastes in the
matter of clothes are changing, be sure
and swerve them in the right path
the path that means betterment. A
great physician once said, "Good
clothes is greatest of tonics." We be
lieva him nothing makes one feel
more like straightening up and step
ping off at a good brisk pace than a
stylish new suit.
