zle or two in figuring out his cable
report The Gateway doe* not de
sire to find fault with the cable
service, as handled by the operat
ors, Itecause It Is, on the whole,
xery excellent. But a mistake oc
casionally creeps In In transmission,
especially with reference to proper
name*. Quite recently the Cordova
Alaskan printed a sto.-j sbou; the
cancer cuic, emanating from "Stlg
natiua" hrspital, as the paper print

scratching hi* head for a tvhile, the

pital. which happened to be right
\ while ago this paper printed a
cable announcing that Cashier "Am

i-aroe to us. and that's the way we
printed It Aa a matter of fact,
the crook'* name was Jennings.

Curiosity the Common Bond
Between Woman and
the Monkey
By Dr. R. L NICHOLSON. Anthropolotfl*r
CURIOSITY IS THE COMMON BONO BETWEEN WOMAN AND
THE MONKEY.
When one approaches a cage of monkeys the curious
little simians flock to the bars and examine him from head
to foot with the most avid curiosity. This same thing is true of wo
men Thev are CONTENU A I.I.Y PRYING INTO THINGS
and can supply an ENDLESS SI RING OF CHA 1 1 ER about
everything they ??*e.
I do n*>t say that woman resembles the monkey physically any
more than does man. It is only a MENTAL SIMILARITY. That
part of the woman's head called the "curious bump" is proportion
ately the same as that of the monkey.
K It *
It will take several THOUSANDS OF YEARS FOR WO
MEN TO LOSE TIIIS STRIKING RELATION TO SIMIAN
LIFE. Woman, however, has other virtues which make up for this
very bad characteristic. She has made heTself firmer in character
than her male consort. This evil of curiosity ha3 been fully overcome
by these redeeming features.
Monkeys talk among themselves just as do women. When thay
see something which strikes them they chatter and chirp in their lan
guage.
