The Speech of Monkeys
·
R. L. Garner

[Sidenote:
"UNCLE
REMUS"]
In
Central
Park
there
is
a
monkey
of
this
species
which
I
call
"Uncle
Remus."
He
is
quite
fond
of
me,
and,
for
my
amusement,
he
always
wants
to
whip
a
little
baby
monk
in
the
same
cage
with
him
whenever
I
go
to
visit
them.
This
species
belongs
to
the
same
genus
as
the
Capuchin,
but
they
differ
in
mental
calibre
as
widely
as
the
Caucasian
differs
from
the
Negro;
but
in
this
case
the
colours
are
reversed.
I
have
seen
a
few
fairly
intelligent
white-faces
and
a
great
many
very
stupid
Capuchins,
but,
to
strike
an
average
from
a
great
number
of
each
kind,
they
will
be
found
very
widely
separated
in
brain
power.
The
white-faced
Cebus
always
has
a
languid
expression,
and
looks
like
some
poor,
decrepit
old
man,
who
has
borne
a
great
burden
of
care
through
a
long
life,
and
finds
his
toil
and
patience
ill-requited
and
is
now
awaiting
his
last
call.
He
always
has
a
sad
face,
and
looks
as
if
his
friends
were
false.
His
type
of
speech
is
very
far
inferior
to
that
of
the
Capuchin,
and
I
do
not
regard
him
as
a
good
subject
for
my
work.
