[Sidenote:
PEDRO
THE
CAPUCHIN]
In
the
Washington
collection
there
is
a
little
Capuchin
by
the
name
of
Pedro.
When
I
first
visited
this
bright
little
monk
he
occupied
a
cage
in
common
with
several
other
monkeys
of
different
kinds.
All
of
them
seemed
to
impose
upon
little
Pedro,
and
a
young
spider
monkey
in
the
cage
found
special
delight
in
catching
him
by
the
tail
and
dragging
him
around
the
floor
of
the
cage.
I
interfered
on
behalf
of
Pedro,
and
drove
the
spider
monkey
away.
On
account
of
this,
Pedro
soon
began
to
look
upon
me
as
his
benefactor,
and
when
he
would
see
me
he
would
scream
and
beg
for
me
to
come
to
him.
I
induced
the
keeper
to
place
him
in
a
small
cage
to
himself,
and
this
he
seemed
to
appreciate
very
much.
When
I
would
go
to
record
his
sounds
on
the
phonograph,
I
held
him
in
one
hand,
while
he
would
take
the
tube
in
his
tiny
black
hands,
hold
it
close
up
to
his
mouth,
and
talk
into
it
just
like
a
good
little
boy
who
knew
what
to
do
and
how
to
do
it.
He
would
sometimes
laugh
and
always
chatter
to
me
as
long
as
he
could
see
me.
He
would
sit
on
my
hand
and
kiss
my
cheeks,
put
his
mouth
up
to
my
ear
and
chatter
just
as
though
he
knew
what
my
ears
were
for.
