zoo or the circus, the author shows us
weird, fascinating uses and shapes OF

the horse. dog. cat, COW. Why does
the cat draw its claws back into its
paw. while the dog does not? How
many children ever noticed that this
is true? Why does the dog have a
furry tail, while the rats is thin and
skinny? The answers explain how
these animals live, and make them
twice as curious and interesting to
watch.

The Leavenworth echo. [volume] (Leavenworth, Wash.) 1904-current, 1912-09-13

OF Leavenworth were swindled out OF
ten thousand dollars in wireless stock
less than two years ago. Not week
goes by but some fellow comes along
with a scheme to make you rich if you
will only buy his worthless stock.
The man who sells you stock never
gets less than half, often three fourths
and sometimes 871a cents out Of every
dollar he takes in. The men who
sold Meteor Mining Co. stock here a
few years ago got .871a cents out Of
every dollar and turned in to the com
pany .12H cents. If company has
a good thing to offer it never goes to
the public. If it is offered to the gen.
eral public you may take that as in
disputable evidence that it has been
examined by men with money and
turned down. To this sweeping con-
domination of all stock jobbing schemes
you may except local promoters, such
as the asbestos proposition and the
quicksilver mine, which is promoted
by local people who ask their neigh
bors to take pot luck with them, in
these enterprises you simply have to
exercise your own judgment. You
know the promoters, know the prop
erty and know something Of the plans
OF the company. The Washington
Steel & Iron Co., now building plant
at this place, is also an exception to
the rule. Two years ago this COM
pany turned down a thirteen thousand
dollar stock subscription gotten up by
our commercial club because it was
conditioned on the company maintain
ing its plant at this place. The stock
was afterwards taken without the con-
dition, and the company has since
gone on with its plant and expects to
be making steel before the winter is
over. Not more than one in ten
thousand of these schemes is honestly
conceived. There is no intention of
working anything or anybody but the
stockholders. Shun them as you
would pestilence.
