THE STORY OF THE MONKEY. 



239 



The few monkeys who come too late to get fuddled escape. The drinkers 

 are too far gone to distrust their captors, but apparently take them for larger 

 species of their own genus. The negroes lay hold of one or two, and these 

 immediately begin to weep and cover them with maudlin kisses. When a 

 negro takes one by the hand to lead him off, the nearest monkey will cling 

 to the one who thus finds a support and endeavor to go off also. Another 

 will grasp at him, and thus in turn till the negro leads a staggering line of 

 ten or a dozen tipsy monkeys.

A DOG-FACED BABOON. 



THE UGLY BABOON. 



With the true baboons we come to the most hideous and repulsive-look- 

 ing members of the monkey tribe, their repulsive appearance being only 

 equalled by the fierce and untamable disposition of several of the group. 

 All the baboons are confined to Africa and the countries lying on the north 

 of the Red Sea, so that they are totally absent from the Oriental region.
