What is the difference between apes, baboons and monkeys? Apes are such as are destitute of tails; baboons have muscular bodies, elongated muzzles, and their talls are usually short; mon- keys are those whose talls are in general long, some of them, the sapa- gos, having prehensile tails, which can at pleasure be twisted around any ob- Ject, and thereby, in many instances, answers the purpose of an additional hand.

W’BRIDE OF LITTLE POWDER Being tire Story of the Powers and Properties of a Plate of Salad. BY OLIVE ROBERS BARTON. Craig Gillette read the telegram hastily, gave the Indian boy & coin and said tersely, “No wait.” The boy galloped away on his little pony. He stood looking after the Indlan, the telegram flipping in the wind. He received few messages from the east. Indians, miners and cow punchers had been his companions for twelve years, in fact ever since the family fortune had gone to smash and he had left New York forever. He had said “forever” because Lols Fleming, the girl he loved, broke her engagement to him when the money was gone. Disgusted with life he left New York, vowing never to return and refusing to see Lois, although she had asked for o last interview. The Indian boy disappeared in the distance and Craig read the message. It was from Kirkland. “Expect crowd of us on ninth. Berger, Watson, lit- tle Grayson and some othe Girls, too. Going with Dad on inspection tour over his road. Mother to chap- eron. Do not wire. We leave to night. Truby Kirkland.” The names were familiar. All had been intimates of his, but in twelve years were almost forgotten. Craig wondered who the girls would be— neither the younger, nor the youngest set when he left home, Twelve years! They would be decidedly new to him. They had been the infant set then. He ran his fingers through his thick hair. He knew there was gray in it. Ie walked slowly bhack to the house, hardly knowing whether to be glad or sorry at the prospective interruption to his rough way of living. But the hard life he had led, prospecting and mining, had been like medicine to his sick soul. The sting had changed to a dull ache and the ache was al- mest gone now. He had become rich, very rich. The mine, the camp, the ground were all his and the mine yielded a fortune in silver every day. As he stepped on to the rough cov ered platform of his house which an swered for a porch he gtopped and looked the place over. Then he went inside wandering through the four bare unattractive roowms, and into the kitchen where Pete, the half-breed, held sway as cook. Craig looked him over, too—the soiled blue shirt and trousers, braided black hair, and dirty face and hands. His feet showed bare above low moccasing, For the first time in twelve years Craig felt a misfit in his surroundings, Why had he not noticed before how was furnished? There was one bunk in the bedroom, a small deal table and a few chairs in the dining room, the same in the living room, and the kitchen @ heterogeneous collection of Junk. He sat down to think. It was al- ready the sixth. Three days yet! Jennings the mine foreman could take the big wagon to Little Powder | and bring home cots, tents, tables, chairs, beds and bedding. He could make two or three trips, for travel was slow and difficult over the rough road covered with thick white alkall dust. Then too he could get a half dozen | extra men to scrub and clean a bit, Cralg frowned. The trouble was with the cook. Pete, the slovenly Indian, could never cook for a day. probably two or three, for a set of New York's fastidious diners. Pete had never heard of caviar nor truffles, lobster a la a hundred things nor spring duckling in February—not that 1t was winter now. Spring had advanced almost into summer. days were hot the sun Furthermore, Pete knew nothing of glaces and cool salads nor zen punch The height of his cul- achievement was a huge hunk of roasted heef or pork, perhaps with potatoes. Setting the table for meal usually took him one winute, lll\rm\im: on a red cover, a plate, cup scorching ices sauncer, bone-handled knife and fork and a few spoons.

Will you please not to come into the kitchen at all or let anyone else in. It bothers the missus. She will be here in a little while, sub, and doesn’t want to see nobody. She says it bothers her, sur.” “Very well,” laughed Craig. “It sounds familiar. [ have heard cooks talk that way before. I will remem- ber.” The suh.” The party soon arrived. All were in excellent spirits, though hot and dusty. Just behind their machines came a iittle car which, in the con- fusion, slipped back to the Kitchen un- noticed, and a woman got out. Craig needed to have no doubt about his friends. The men nearly twisted his hand off. The girls flut- tercd about him saying all the mice thines they could think of. Oh, it wis zood to be among his own kind olce more, and mother greeted him like a son. ‘Ihe trip through the mine was ar- ratzed for afternoon.

She used to make it for him with her own hands.

Sweet pea srowers have been at- tempting, for years past, without sue- cess, to evolve a yellow sweet pea. There are “ivory whites" and “prim- l roses” and sulphur-colored sweet- peas both pure and slightly tinged with pink or some other delicate hue. but a good clear yellow, such as are to be found in the rose, the carna- tion, or the chrysanthemum, has yet to be evolved. An enterprising Eng- lish grower not long ago offered the huge sum of $5.000 to any sweet pea | raiser who should produce such a | flower as is now wanted to complete |the wonderful array of colors that | during the lost few years have been introduced into the sweet pea, and it is quite possible that an even larger sum would be forthcoming could a satisfactory variety that was abso- |lutely “fized"—i. e, which would | come true from seed every time—be | discovered. But at present the yel- |low sweet pea has succeeded In evad- ing capture 1t is an interesting matter for spec- ulation as to which of the two varie | ties of flower nmow mostly coveted | ! will arrive first—the blue rose or the | | yellow sweet pea. But the thing that | seems so strange about the obstinacy | or “shyness” of the yellow sweet pea, |is that in nature this is one of the | most frequext colors. | { | Kirkland's father | wved lips. ! later | The dining room was | cook, Often | after the theater instead of going for | He Surely | The dessert and coffee were endless. | wwwwwwwwwww\fi “White Star Market” ety ———, A.
