Jessie
" It is not an edifying sight to see a grown male, appearing capable of doing a full day's work, coming on the stage with a lone monkey attached to a leading string as though the trainer was in fear that his "meal ticket" would run away."
" Some day possibly some one will come along with a "monk" who will perform without having his head yanked off with the usual throttle attachment. At that time it may be said the trainer did some work."
