Canine Etiuuette.

In their relations one with another
dogs have a keen sense of etiquette.
Unless they are on very intimate terms
they take great pains never to brush
against or even touch one another.
For one dog to step over another is
dangerous breach of etiquette unless
they are special friends. 1t is no I'M
common thing for two dogs to belong
to the same person and live in the
same house and yet never take the
slightest notice OF each other. We
have a spaniel so dlgnified that he will
never permit another member OF the
dog family TO pillow his head upon
him. but with the egotism OF true
arlstocrat he does not hesitate to make
use OF the other dogs for that purpose.

aeorae Junior Republic.

William Reuben George of New
York, being interested in the condition
of neglected boys and girls, started the
George Junior Republic in Freeville,
n. Y, in 1895. There are now Republics
in several state. A National of Junior
Republics was formed in 1908 with
Mr.. George as general director. In
the Junior Republics boys and girls
between the ages of sixteen and twen-
ty-one vote as citizens, and the citi-
zens fill all the Offices. Any infraction
of the domestic, educational, industrial
and political rules is tried by jury in
accordance with the provisions of the
constitution, to which each member of
the community is consenting party.
Work is paid for according to its velue,
idleness punished with starvation, and
crime by graded system of penalties.
The motto is Nothing Without La
bor.' Each Junior Republic has in con-
nection with it Junior Republic as
sociation, incorporated under the state
laws, which acts as a board of trustees
and of final authority. Write Secre-
tary, George Junior Republic, Grove

Leqaeies of the New Year.

Chicago, Jan. 2.-Legacies of the
new year are numerous. While bust
ness still "limps." there are a few
signs that 1914 will escape the clutches
of the Gloom club.
The final wheat trend will not be de-
cided for 60 days. Almost every lead
ing factor in wheat is 80 per cent of
guess. On our government statistics,
January receipts should be small. and
this fact. II realized, will hold wheat
without the small surplus cutlery of
the Argentine.
The corn legacy of 1913 is nine
month of high prices despite trade re-
cession. an unpatriotic eastern well
come to Argentine corn and this shirt
sleeve winter.
Immediate corn factors are so di-
verse that the January and February
swing in May corn can easily run or
> per cent-declines to be followed by
very positive advances.
An abandonment OF fair corn price
for the raiser is not justified. Antwerp
reports the continent now minus corn
stocks of consequence and will have TO
import when the cold weather arrives.
In the first co days of 1914 May oats
will probably duplicate the 40c TO 43c
level. at which the raiser is willing to
furnish a fair oats movement.
We see absolutely nothing in prod
ucts 10 cause permanent liquidation.
The slump of the Argentine surplus to
Is. OOO. 900 or 100000 sternly rebuts
theories of a serious free wheat slump
when Canada decides Jan. 10 to 80.
Of ya-ha will shin
before April is golden, whereas free
wheat possibilities are merely silver.
The coppers and steels should be
bought for investment. United States
bank clearings for November and De-
cember period decline s per cent
That excellent paper, Commerce and
Finance. cannot figure any cotton fac
tors that viii change the cotton situa-
ton violently in the early new year.
We share these views.

WAGNER'S REVIEW
Morning Grain Letter.

Chicago. ILL.,. Jan. while corn Is
considered a bulge-sale for the pres
emf. half of the recent bearishness has
vanished. Smaller corn receipts are
expected. Pattern interests took in
about 100000 corn on December de-
livery and cash men say this stuff
will press on the eastern marSct i'm
mediately That will interfere with
other cash corn sales until II is work
ed TO eastern buyers. Some snow has
fallen in the central west, but gooc
cold condition for corn is still alb
sent. Newspaper commentators do
not waste time on cats. They declare
cats a bulge sale. Wheat is Liable to
rule firmly on lessenei receipts.
Hedges against long May corn wiz
probably enter the July month. while
Canadian wheat crop is well marketed
free wheat will probably give north
western miilers a chance at some
Canadian wheat in which case the
United States cash demand will suffer.
Action on free wheat is due Jan. 10.
to 80. Primary receipts OF wheat this
week 10 date show a drop of 50 per
cent from last week. The advance in
cables gives wheat a fresh bull start.

NEW GUINEEs QUEER TRIBES.
Claim Dog as Ancestor and stu Prae-
tIce Sorcery and CannI-
balkan.

There seems to be no end to tho
stories OF strange people and customs
TO be found in New Guinea. The
latest news from this island is given
BY Mr.. w. n. Beaver, resident magis-
trate in the western division OF New
Guinea.
Two of the most interesting expedi-
lions in which Mr.. Beaver took part
were to the Clara country. which for
three parts OF the year is almost en-
tirely submerged.
These people claim descent from
dog. They possess FIVE totems. which
are drawn on all their houses. Their
villages are erected ON hiIlocks so as
to be clear of the water. and the peo-
pie of each village inhabit one large
common house.
The center of this huge building fs
a kind of common hall, which is
used only by the men. The women
are not allowed to enter the building
by the same door as the men
In the wilder parts of the country
the chief is himself a head sorcerer.
He claims to be able to separate his
spirit from his body and to send 1t
on various missions. including that
or Killing people quite recently d
number OF sorcerers went by the
house of a native on whom they cast
a spell by pointing at him a human
bone. They afterward murdered their
victim.
Mr. Beaver explored a large tract
of country in Dutch New Guinea,
where the majority of the people had
never before been visited. These
were very primitive folk, armed with
bows and arrows. They assume
fierce aspect by inserting kangaroo
claws in their nostrils and by wear
ing in their hair artificial tails ex-
tending to their waists.
In one district near Daru 1t is the
custom to brand, by means OF mark
on the shoulder, girl children with
the mark OF the men they are subse-
quently to marry. Cannibalism still
exists.
One of the most curious movements
that has recently been brought to
light prevails along the northeastern
coast. 1t is known as the Baigona
movement, and its operations almost
approach sorcery. Great respect is
paid to snakes. none OF which is al
lowed to be killed.

Football.

II you are getting on in years-nay,
to the time when the young fellows be-
gin to caution you that it is impru-
dent to run upstairs-it is a good
thing to go out to football game and
renew your youth. A perfectly silly
thing, a football game. you think as
you see the struggling, swaying mass
in the middle of the field. And the
cheer leader. Did you ever see any,
thing more ridiculous than the utter
seriousness of his manner as he SOL
EMMY calls for mine 'rahs' for So
and-so?
But as the game progresses and you
see some thrilling runs around The end
and some reckless tackling and some
nervy line buclxing, all for the honor
of the team and the college-well, you
begin to warm up. Before the last
quarter is over you have picked your
team, IL you hadn't one to start with,
and are pulling frantically for it to get
the ball across that stanchly defended
goal line.
After all. youth is great thing. The
well-fought college football game, With
its fine abandon and its compelling en-
thusiasm and it's fervid admonitions
from the rooters to "Hold-that-
line," makes the blood flow faster
through the veins OF the most sedate
person of middle age.-Kansas City
Times.

No Canes For Actors.

There is one profession that has al
ways refrained from carrying IA walk
ing stick. The actor knows well that
on the stage he must walk without ex-
traneous support. and he knows that
the mere hint OF walking stick in his
hand rs he walks the streets is
temptation TO lean this way or that
Actors, even when out OF job. never
lean on a stick. They know that their
balanced walk is their asset. II the
whole OF society recurs to walking
sticks the actors will refrain.-London
Chronicle.

T0RP0R OF THE TURK.
Shown In a Quaint Reason For Not
Delivering Message.

An interview in the New York Sun
between one of its reporters and Mr..
Bedros Keljik bears humorously on
the Turkish situation and seems TO in
dictate that what is needed Is not In
creased political activity. but more at
tention to business. AS an illustra-
ton of the everyday torpor one Of the
experiences of DR.. Ria Tewfik. mem
Der of parliament for Adrianople. with
a Turkish official may be cited.
DR.. Tewfik was visiting friend at
Kade Kony. across the Bosporus.
About 10 o'clock at night he heard
the watchmau call. "Yangin var. Gala
tada yangin yarr' ('"There is fire. there
is fire in Galatar'l, the usual alarm
given when fire breaks out in any
quarter.
1t happened that DR.. Tewfk's own
home was in Galata. and he rushed
to the nearest telegraph ONCE to In
quire concerning the safety OF his
family. He received no answer to bis
telegram, and his fears were reused.
But as no boats cross the Bosporus at
night he was obliged to wait till morn
ing
lie got nome at last 10 nnu every
thing safe. When he asked why his
family had not answered the telegram
he was told that they had not received
any. So. DR. Tewfik went to the tele-
graph Office and demanded an explana-
ton.
One Osman Agha, to whom DR.. Tew-
fik's telegram had been given for de-
livery, was called.
Where is the effendi's telegram!
Osman Agha fumbled in his pockets
and drew forth the message.
''Why did you not deliver itT de-
manded DR.. Tewfk anCrily-

turbable Osman Agha. who had evil
