The Speech of Monkeys

What
else
but
reason
could
have
prompted
this
act?
The
dog
had
seen
it
done
by
human
beings,
and
had
noted
the
result.
Whether
his
whining
was
intended
as
singing
or
not,
I
am
unable
to
say,
but
from
my
recollection
of
seeing
him
do
this
with
the
younger
children,
I
believe
that
it
was
intended
to
soothe
or
entertain,
and
his
barking
to
call
some
one
into
the
room.
A
farmer
by
the
name
of
Taylor,
living
in
East
Tennessee,
some
years
ago
owned
two
very
fine
collies,
and
they
had
been
trained
to
drive
the
cattle
and
sheep
about
the
farm,
to
drive
strange
cattle
away
from
the
premises,
to
guard
the
gates
or
gaps
opened
temporarily
for
hauling
about
the
farm,
and
many
similar
duties.
On
one
occasion,
in
haymaking
time,
as
night
was
approaching,
the
waggon
made
its
last
homeward
trip
for
the
day,
and
the
men
working
in
the
meadow
prepared
to
go
home.
The
driver
of
the
waggon,
supposing
the
men
from
the
meadow
were
following
and
would
close
the
gates,
left
them
open,
and
one
of
these
was
between
the
corn-field
and
a
pasture
containing
a
number
of
cattle.
The
men,
however,
did
not
follow
the
waggon,
but
took
a
near
way
across
the
field,
and
the
gate
was
left
open.
While
the
family
was
at
supper,
one
of
the
collies
was
restless
and
barked
continually,
and
gave
such
signs
of
uneasiness
as
to
assure
all
that
something
was
wrong.
His
master
went
to
the
door,
and
the
dog
ran
to
the
gate
in
the
front
of
the
house,
and
continued
barking
and
lashing
his
tail
with
great
energy.
