Can't Remember Your Name

From Everybodys Magazine
 q cannot remember your name-just wait a minute!' How often we hear that! And some of us are offended and some of us think it is absurd to be of tended. Well, according to Freud, the first are instinctively right about it. When you cannot recall a name that you fought to rlnember'' it is a sign either that unconsciously you wish to injure or reject the person whose name you have forgotten, or else that this per son is associated in your mind with something YOU dc not want to think of If his name should come to mind that repressed thought would come with it, and so you cannot fish up either of them
 Says Freud: When 1 analyze those cases Of name forgetting which have occurred in myself I find almost regu- larly that the name withheld shows some relation to a theme which con cerns my own person and which is apt to provoke in me strong and painful mos tions."
 Among other examples iie tells how he could not remember the name of an inn near which he had spent seven sum psers, and that when he finally heard the name it proved to be the same as that of a rival physician who practices his own specially in Vienna. This name touched his professional jealousy.
 Freud made study also of the cases iii which he had forgotten to call on patients when call was due. and he found that the great majority of them had happened when the patient was one whom he treated gratis. I suspect the most of us, if we could achieve the re- fleshing personal candor with which IT eud writes his scientific books, would have similar tales to tell.

ing adverse revenue conditions, expansion and improvement of postal facilities con- tinued. Had it not been for economical reorganization begun before the war started and continued since, the Post master General says. the audited deficit would have been at least $2l,O00,0G0. Of the total deficit, however, his analysis of the departments finances declares that all but a little more than sSe00aO was the result of increases of postal salaries and additional railway mail pay required by law.
 Chief among recommendations to Con- gress are a renewal of previous proposals for change from the weight to the space basis of fixing pay to the railroads for carrying mail; a renewal of reeom- mendations for government ownership of telegraphs and telephones. removal Of the four-pound limit on first class mail, and the adoption of more liberal limita- tions on the weight aud insurance of par eel post packages.
 The greatest expansion in the postoffice. the report shows was in the parcel post. offices show it to be half of all the postal business, and that more than 1000, ,000,COo rarcels are being transported every year. Before the parcel post was established not more than one-fourth that number were handled. The amount of postage collected from that source approached

How Dogs Win Love

From The Point of View in the Chrlst- mas Scribner.
 If we were thoroughly honest. we should
 find that much of the affection we hold
 for our canine friends is stimulated sole ly by flattery. The loyalty and devotion of my dog is an immense satisfaction to my vanity. l am loath to admit this ill fact l never do My dog and I-are we not friends on some fine, lofty plane of sympathy and understanding where the eyes leap to comprehension, where conversation is futile, and words of no avail? I like to think this; I do think it I but the truth is not complete. My dog l follows to heel, rushes madly off on some | tour of inspection. comes to heel again, land though perhaps felt unconsciously, I his return is a subtle compliment and warns me around the heart
 l All this hour I have heard the scratchy batter of dog in the college corridor
 hunting his master. His faith and love are bound with patience; he will spend the eternity of an empty, waiting hour until lis man comes from the class room.
 And is there any satisfaction more genuine than that you experience when your dog recognizes you among group of people and comes to greet you? Oh, l then you see--all this talk of your plane of higher understanding is gone! You | are the master anu He cOIlltS, d lltt 1 Affection is not appealed to; it is vanity.
 He stands beside you in the very vas
 salage of loyalty.
 ! There is trick of independence in the attitude of some dogs toward another 1 than their masters. Say l speak to such l a dog, call him Puppy" as l call all 1 dogs, invite him to a caress-if he re- | spends, it is the greeting of equality be- | tween two friendly creatures; fl he scorns the notice Of I cbnclSlp at his stiff ta fled dsdain and enjoy vicarously l the loyalty to his master which it be- comes him best to show by ignoring me. In this way did Dana, the stately St. Bernard, respond to the praises of those chance people who were not in his formal acquaintance. Never could any one ex- press more bored indifference than he, his massive head resting motionless on his paws, his eyes upturned for a second against the red haws, then dropped aft CT a glance almost unseeing. He was a dog to appreciate the use of a monocle.

BANKING SYNDICATE
 SOON TO DISSOLVE

New York December 11-Dissolution next Wednesday of the banking syndicate which foated the $500, GOO, GOO Anglo French loan, is awaited with unusual interest in financial circles because of the heavi- ness of the bonds during the past week.
 Sales aggregating $l.000.0Oo were effect ed during that time, subject to future de- livery, at steady declines down to 94%. This was 3A points under the price of the regular public offering and 1l4 points below the price paid by the syndicate, whose membership embraces bankers, trust companies and private banking in terests representing almost every state in the union.
 The syndicate managers believe that the depression in the bonds has resulted from the vigorous operations of so-called German propaganda which they declare began when the project was first preached. It is known that the syndicate expects to have not less than s150,0000 eco of the entire bond issue returned as un- sold

two years, from the proceeds of the salt revenue.
 The bankers were unwilling to make an additional advance against this source of revenue but as the monarchial movement
 developed there were rumors that the
 money was to be used for restoring the
 monarchy, and it became apparent that
 there was diplomatic pressure against the
 loan
 The minister of finance, Chow Hsueh- Efsi insisted that the funds were for the improvement of the revenue collec- tion system and the redemption of the | depreciated currency notes in the various provinces This assurance, however, has not moved the bankers and there is nc , indica tion that the funds will be advanced soon. There are also reports that France England and Japan did not care to CO., operate with Germany in such an agree ment The theory that the bankers are acting through their dislike of Germany is causing much discussion in the Chi
 nese press.
 The great amount of money which the Chinese government is paying to va r'ous German interests in China is caus- ing much discomfort to Great Britain and her allies. Germans have many loans in China and the interest on these. together with Chna's payment on the Boxer ln-
 demnity are reported to have given Ger
 n an financial institutions larger deposits
 than they have ever enjoyed before. It
 is impossible for German corporations to
 send their funds to Germany through reg
 ular channels. Consequently. they are
