Bull & Monkey

Farmer Charles Lewis was proud of his thoroughbred Jersey bull, sire of all the calves born on the Lewis farm at Burlington, N. J. Farmer Lewis' children were just as proud of a pet monkey their father had given them. All winter the monkey lived in the Lewis barn, playing simian pranks on Farmer Lewis' kine. Wary it avoided the bull--until one day last week.

The monkey scampered around, chattering and throwing things. The bull lowered its head and charged, the monkey leaped into the air, landed on a shelf above the bulls reach. There it amused itself bv tearing open a bag of green powder scattering the contents on the bull's hay The bull began eating the hay. When Farmer Lewis entered the barn he found his bull poisoned, dying. The monkey was still chattering while it licked Paris green from s paws. Grim Farmer Lewis said nothing. Soon the monkey stopped chattering curled up, died.
