FROM OTHER PENS

THE WEST-LEST THEY FORGET
All the financial editorials, inter-
views and news articles of the New
York newspapers have pointed to the
soundness and strength of "the west
as the greatest of all the grounds for
public confidence 1.-THE west is pros
porous" 1.-The west is serene and quite
busy" are among the phrases that,
like a recurrent refrain, have been
used hundreds of times in the eastern
press during the last several days.
And there is nc doubt whatever
that the reference to the west has car
ried reinsurance and cheer to men
who might have become seriously
alarmed by the fiurries in Wall street.
The west will note these appeals to
its genuine, solid strength, to its real
prosperity prosperity based on la
Dor and it's results, on honest and
prudent banking and business meth
DDS. on production and commerce. 1t
hopes that Wall street and it's organs
in New York will remember these
spontaneous and eager references to
conditions in Chicago, in other grain
centers and great markets. and take
to heart the lessons of the contrast
between the methods that save and
the methods that endanger and de-
stroy prosperity.
Stocks gambling, chains Of banks"
started by and for manipulators and
curities, illegal loans, loose and vic
ious fnanciering-these are the
things that caused the Wall street
slumps and collapses. The relief and
salvation, on the other hand, have
come from men and principles that
represent work, savings and honest
investment, careful methods of using
credit, Intelligent and conservative ap-
plication of capital to new enter
prises.
When in the future the west re-
Dukes stock gambling and reckless
imitation, it will bel1oove the gentry
in and around Wall street to display
humility and a Willingness to learn
and profit by sound advice. The gam
bling and frenzied financiers who have
been in the habit of sneering at the
ignorance and slowness of the west
and its failure to appreciate the beau
ties of windy speculation, should sing
small after their recent experiences
Chicago Record-Herald.
CONDITIONS ARE SOUND.
Commercial and financial condi-
lions are sound. They are so sound
that public confidence has been able
to Withstand shocks which IN other
years would have thrown the whole
country into a panic. 1t will not be
ours to catch up with their invest
ments.-Indianapolis News.

The Barber Thief.

There's queer and nasty kind of
criminal that we call the barber thief"
said Lecoq. the detective. He is a
Journeyman barber who lifts your
scarfpin while he is shaving you.
+ These rascals have learned somehow
or other to shave and haircut fairly
well. They go everywhere in the rush
season-California or Florida in the
winter, Atlantic City in the summer.
and so on-and there the overworked
boss barber, with hands scarce, is only
to glad to take them on, and to take
them on without references.
1T doesn't take a clever barber thief
long to make a good haul. In a day in
Saratoga one Of these men lifted out Of
millionaires' and sports neckties dia-
monds and pearls to the value of s., 900"

TWO QUEER ANIMALS
The Marabou and the Hyena Of
Central Africa.
BOTH VULTURES IN NATURE.

Each Goraes itself on Carton, and the
Bird and Beast Often Battle For
Their Food-Fairylike PIumes That

The ugllest storks in the world are
found in southern Asia and central
Africa. Their flesh colored heads are
only partially covered with stin, wiry
feathers. and hanging on the breast
they bear n disgusting pouch, which
answers the purpose Of crop. One OF
the largest Of these stOrks is the mara

plains Of central Africa with COM
posture and lordly grandeur, as II 1t
were the most beautiful bird In the
world. Its body feathers are of dull
metallic green color, and Its wings and
tail are dingy black. Looking at tho
awkward creature, no one would sus-
pect that under Its ungainly wings 1t
carried the most exquisite and fairy
like little plumes, so airy that 1t takes
basketfuls Of them to weigh an ounce.
They are pure white and 80 much de-
sired for trimming that the bird Is Wig

sell these dainty feathers to traders
for very large price
The marabou feeds on carrion, like
the vuiture. It's throat Is very large
and II will greedily eat everything that
In In tho n nd
plains around Khartum, on the Nile,
are immense flOcks Of marabous, and
they are so daring as to come to the
slaughter houses on the outskirts OF
the city in search of food, and whole
OK ears and @lln bones with hoof at
tached have been found in the crops
Of specimens which have been killed.
These birds are skillful fishers. They
haunt the low marshy islands In the
rivers and lakes OF central Africa, with
elephants, monkeys, 1amingoes and
many varieties of birds for compan'
Ions, and gain their principal food from
the water. They often go in compa
MES of ten or twelve to fish. WadinG
In the water, the birds form a circle
which they gradually draw together

meal.
