The Effect of POliteness.

A brave, active, intelligent terrier, belonging
to lady friend one day discovered a monkey
belonging to an itinerant organ grinder seated
upon the bank within the grounds, and at once
made dash for hin. The monkey, who was
attired in jacket and hat, awaited the onset
with such undisturbtd tranquility that the
dog halted within a few feet of him to re-
connoitre. Both animals took a long,
steady stare at each other, but the dog was
evidently recovering from his surprise, and
about to make spring for the intruder. A
this critical juncture the monkey, who had re-
mained perfectly quiet hitherto, raised his paw
and gracefully saluted by raising his hat. The
effect was magical; the dogs head and tail
dropped, and he snesked off aud entered the
houseS refusing to leave it till he was satisfied
that bis polite but mysterious guest has depart
ed. His whole demeanor showed that he felt
the monkey was something "ancanny," and

FOLLOWING the close OF the war of 1912
came period of speculation-infated prices,
sudden fortunes, and consequent depression.
There was large an d undue issue of bank
paper. The Senate of Pennsylvania traced
the disorder of 1850 to the expansion of
of 1914 and says, in report endorsed by il:
ga spirit in all respects akin to gambling
prevailed. A fictitious value was given to all
kinds of property" Following this. the
newspapers of that date (1S19) published
numerous accounts of incendiary fires, frauds
and robberies. A Congressional report spoke
of the ''change of moral character of many OF
our citizens by the presence of Distress"

The United States Economist says: "It Is
significant fact that nearly all the failures
which occurred from the commencement Of
the panic of 1873 to the present time were
caused by excessive speculation, engagement
in enterprises outside proper business of the
parties concerned, and to the waste of capital
consequent on these iDjadicious operations.
To this statement there appears to be abso-
lutely no exception. A few minor, and, as
we shall assume, innocent firms, may have
been carried away and overborne by the fail
ure of greater concerns" And this excessive
speculation comes of imitation.
