The Useful Simian.-An Italian or
gan grinder possessed a monkey which
he worked" through the summer
months. When the cool days Of the
fall came his business fell off, and he
discontinued his walks and his melo-
dies An Irishman Of his acquaintance
offered him ten cents a day for the
privilege Of keeping and feeding the
little beast The bargain was made for
a month. Great curiosity filled the
mind of the Italian, and at last, unable
to restrain himself, he went ostensibly
to see his pet, but really to find what
possible use Pat could make of mon
key. The Irishman was frank. 1T Is
loike this" he said: "Oi put up pole
in me back yard, with the monk on the
top. Tin or twelve thrains of cars
loaded with coal go by every evenin'.
There's thramps on every car. Every
wan takes a heave at the monk. Divil
a wan has hit him, but Oi have seven
teen tons of coal."-Argonaut.

ket weaving. The estimate has been

ket weaving. The estimate has been
made that the total value Of blankets
woven and sold by the squaws annual
ly approximate s500,000. This is real
ly an astonishing showing in indus
try representing the manual labor of a
single desert tribe.
Although the Navajo braves give lit
tie or no assistance to their wives In
this most important industry of the
tribe, they are not lazy. To engage in
the domestic industries of the squaws
is considered derogatory to the dignity
of warriors. The Navajo braves have
been employed to a large extent in
railroad construction, in the digging of
irrigation bitches, at farm labor, and
in the sugar beet fields Of Colorado.
Everywhere they have proven their
willingness to work, and their ability
to give a good account Of themselves
at the most laborious tasks.
The most COMMON objection to Ma
vpajo blankets, woven by the squaws,
of materials sheared from their own
sheep, and carded, spun and dyed by
their own hands, is that they are coarse
and rough, particularly when new To
give them a more finished appearance
and to make them smooth to the touch
most Of the dealers now have them
carded before offering them for sale,
although the Indians never card blan-
kets intended for their own use.
The only other noteworthy industry
of the Navajos is the making Of silver
jewelry. However, this is not a true
aboriginal industry, but was acquired
from the Spaniards. Neither the Nava-
10 nor any other of the tribes Of the
west had any knowledge Of metals un-
til after the coming of Europeans. Con-
sidering the crude and inadequate
tools they use obtained from the res
ervation traders) the Navajo silver
smiths display remarkable skill In
fashioning belt buckles, necklaces,
medallions, bracelets, saddle and bride
ornaments and other articles. Brace
let's, spoons and few other articles are
bought by tourists, but most Of the
products of the silverworkers' art are
made for sale to other members Of the
tribe, or to the Pueblos, Utes, Apaches
and Mexicans.

Birds of a Feather.-The American
in the first-class carriage of an English
train insisted on smoking. An angry
Englishman protested and when about
to appeal to the guard the American
got ahead of him with the remark:
Guard, think you will find that that
gentleman is travelling with third
class ticket on him."
1t proved to be true, and the sput-
tering Britisher was put out.

American how he knew about the tick

speculation Reported.
by Gable to The Tribune. J

London, Sept. S.-The stock market
vas in a somewhat unsettled condition
last week, due in large measure to the
increase in the bank rate to 4 per cent.
The holiday season, Of course, also ac-
counts for the thinness of the attend
anCe and the small amount Of business
done. but it is undoubtedly true that
the chief factor is the increase of the
discount rate at time when there
were no visible signs If any immediate
necessity therefor. The banks are not
encouraging speculation and prudent
people are Withdrawing their commit
ments until there is some positive
knowledge as To what the gold de
mands are going TO be. The result is
that uneasiness was general through
out the week, though the decline in
home securities Of all kinds was hardly
important.
Americans. on the other hand. were
we'll supported last week. Ii had been
feared that the result Of the Vermont
election might give a shock 10 Wall
Street. but the event showed New
York to be we'll prepared. and conse-
quently interest here in Americans re-
yivcd. what business was done being
at higher levels. This had good effect
On London. which had been optimistic
for some time concerning American
prospects. though fears had been eN-
pressed as To the effects of the election.
Now that the first blow has fallen and
no disaster has followed. there is much
less talk of a possible calamity even If
there be a Democratic landslide.
Disposition now is 10 assume an
American boom To be "A foregOne con-
cluson. and the election only an in
cident of minor importance with the
possibility of brief hurries as the re-
turns from various quarters come in.
In regard 10 the money market in
tcrest now centres in Germany as
the uncertain factor. II is expected
that there will bc a fairly strong 10
mand from Berlin tomorrow. Berlin
has begun To prepare for the end Of
September liquidation, which for Sow
eral years has been "A trying time.
This year trade in Germany mas been
very active and speculation. also has
been vide. so wide in fact that the
authorities have had frequently To
issue warnings Hence naturally
there is some apprehension. and this
will last until the September liquida-
ton il over. but after that il is hoped
that the situation will be easier while
prospective calls in other quarters are
already fairly well estimated. The
advance in the banks stock OF gold
rose last week nearly 100000. while
the reserve also advanced. The pro-
portion Of the reserve To- liabilities has
