adopted by an American officer to rem

says, needed labor in order to carry

wages regularly, as promised. AS

is obnoxious to his white brothers

Dangerous Habits of Captive Animals

suspected nothing. At last, when he
had his mouth quite full of saliva, he
blew it toward me.
This is not only a trick of ele-
plants, but of other animals as well,

This sculptor and other artists agree
that the cat animals have a different
mode of attack. There seems less OF
spite and more of real hate in their
method Sculptors usually place theif
modelling stands as close to the bars
as possible. This same one was once
working close to a tigers cage, with
the beast inside lying very quiet, ap-
parently asleep. Without even raising
his eyelids the big cat struck between
the bars with his heavy forepaw, splin-
tering the stand and sending the clay
in wads on the floor. The artist,
warned by sixth sense developed by
those who are much about animals,
had jumped back just in time to es-

Provided Inducement to Spend Money

borers, all such agents were expelled
from the district and not allowed TO
return. This measure resulted IL
something of local boom, and two en-
tire villages and many isolated FAM
lilies of Moros at once pulled up stakes
and moved into the post in order to be
free from the official exactions of their
chiefs. When they had little money
ahead, however, the men began to stop
work, as they had nothing to spend 1t
on but rice. The commandant, con-
sidering the vice of idleness as repre-
hensible as any other, and casting
about to create constant demand for
money among his workers, took his
cue from what he saw going on about
him, and licensed two gambling houses
at 800 silver currency (s42 American
currency a month each. After that
he had an ample supply of excellent
laborers, who worked regularly WITH
out persuasion and required little
supervision, except for directing their
work. When their engagement was
finished they came around to the CON-
mandant, asking that some other pay
ing employment be found for them.

quires little diplomacy to make

Soldiers of Modern Grecian Army

includes in its evolutions some high
stepping and ballet dancing.
"Greece's army on a peace footing
consists OF $4,000 men. Every young
man is expected to serve in this capa-
city except Oldest sons. The soldiers
pay is equivalent to about s1.SO a
month. A typical days rations is said
to be about as follows: Breakfast,
black coffee and bread; dinner, soup,
meat and wine; supper, bread and
cheese. The wine issued by the quar-
termaster's department is said to
have been treated with rosin and the
resulting mixture reminds the unini-
tiated of the juice of green persim-
mons.
Almost every soldier smokes, and,
in spite OF the ubiquitous and iniqui-
tous cigarette. few survive their en-
listment. No provision is made for
their leisure. We are told that they
spend their time reading posters on
the dead walls, walking about the
streets or drinking a few sous worth
of wine at one of the sidewalk cafes
as they watch the street procession"

Reign of Barbaric Display Over

SO many an English title, castle and
coronet from decay, have not been
remiss in displaying the insignia of
their mission of succor-why should
they? 1t is what they are in England
and at court for. But they did not set
the fashion; they only conform to it.
Fer thirty years or SO, ever since the
photographs of Lady Londonderry,
Lady This, That and Tother-duch-
esses, countesses, marchionesses, and

WHERE AND WHAT TO LEARN.

The fact remains that man is a
learner. He was born to know
and to know is the highest end of
bis existence, but what to know
and where to learn it will always
be an important factor in his ac-
quisition of knowledge. Good
books, good magazines and good
newspapers are in abundance these
days are so cheap that everybody
can possess them and gain the rip
est ard best knowledge obtainable
at the smallest cost Instead of
doing this many of our people
seem to think and act as though
the street corners and curbstones
were the only universities in exis-
tence and that gossip and street
talk the only information worth
having. Many of our SO called
good people do not take a news
paper in their home but depend
upon street lore to guide them in
all their conversation and informa-
ton, forgetting that this kind of
knowledge is almost worse than
trash and is often nothing more
than the merest nonsense. Such
knowledge as this is often nothing
more than mere opinion and con-
lecture until it is run through the
seive of broad minded men and
the press and there shorn of its
execressences and fiction and re-
duced to solid facts.
People who like hurid. undi-
gested, yellow gossip will be salts :
fed with this kind of information,
but those who want clean, clear
and solid facts will not care to
take it from the street corners and
curbstone socioligists. They will
take good reliable newspaper and
read the news and results of pub
lie opinion as set forth in the light
of clear and logical reasoning and
careful investigation. 1t will save
you time and worry and money to
read good newspaper and you
will have more reliable informa-
ton in the end, therefore take a
paper and pay for it and be inde-
pendent of sidewalk and backyard
gorrip.

DO THEY REASON WELL.


Two weeks ago an article ap-
peared on the leading page of this
paper and another in the editorial
column calling attention to an ad-
vance labor agent from the South
who had come North and to the
West to secure alien and foreign
laborers to take the places of the
Negro on the plantations and in
the factories of the south. Have
the mill owners of the south and
the employers of large numbers of
nands in the different avocations
reckoned as to the results of dis
placing their present employees? :?
Let us see. When the white la
borer goes there the first thing he
will do is to organize labor unions; (;
he will set his own scale of wages
and the Southerner will have to
pay them or have strike on his
hands.
If the people of the South un-
dertake to mob him or burn him to
the stake he will find the embass-

Gold Output and Prices.

The upward course of prices OF both
commodities and securities, which has
been such a prominent feature OF the
markets in this country during the past
six or eigh, years, has occasloned much
comment on the part OF students of econ
omics. Frequent attempts are made TO
trace a connection between such move
ments OF prices and the production OF the
precious metals, but so many other econ
omic factors are involved that it is impos-
sibe TO make any definite deductions
from the facts established, over a period
of such short duration. Students have
demons trated 10 their own satisfaction
the theoretical soundness OF the hypothe-
sis that the purchasing power of money is
weakened by the increasing abundancy Of
gold, and 1t is probable that this would
prove OF practical application were there
no other influences at work But exper.
fence has established beyond question the
fact that short corn crop such as that OF
1901. will more than neuuaize the effect
OF practical suspension OF gold mining
as occurred in Africa that year and the
one preceding, because OF the Boer war.
From an output of 3 oo4 77i ounces Of
gold 10 1898 the African production
declined to 474.6oo ounces 10 1921, or
abou, 88 per cent. Other producing
nations made up part OF the loss, vet the
total for the world declined in value more
than sag. ooo. 900. This should have
affected prices adversely, but during the
same period the evel OF commodities rose
from $40. $40 to Stor. 587 or IT per cent,
according TO Dun's Index Number. This
difference was chiefly in breadstuffs and
meats. and much of the advance may be
ascribed with certainty TO the scarcity Of
