TRAPPING OF MONKEYS EASY
Curiosity, Greed and Initiative Faculty
of Animals Furnish Vulnerable
Point of Attack.

When we see in the street an or
gan-grinder with his little red-capped
pet monkey, we seldom stop to think
Of the animals native home or how 1t
was trapped. AS matter of fact, the
monkey came from Asia, Africa or
South America. The aforementioned
have nostrlls widely separated where
as the old world monkeys have them
close with narrow nasal septum.
One might readily imagine that the
trapping Of monkeys Is difficult OPP
Grafton. However, nothing could be
further from the truth than this n.y.
pOthesls. Monkeys are easily caught,
not by heavily built traps, but by
sheer ingenuity and the simplest sort
of articles. A monkey has various vul-
nerable points of attack, so to speak;
and these are cupidlty, curiosity, COW
etousness or greed, and a truly Won
derful initiative faculty.
A trapper can take a pair of boots
into the jungle, drop them down within
sight of q monkey and soon have
that monkey In cage. The boots on
his feet appear to be the same as the
boots he leaves; but here is where
the monkey is mistaken. AS soon as
the visitor goes away, the monkey de-
sends from some tree and thrusts his
own feet into the boots. The inside Is
covered with glue, and he sticks fast;
also the boots are weighted with lead
and chained together.
The trapper may chain a gourd,
filed with corn or some other eatable,
to Il heavy log. Mr.. Monkey comes
along, tastes the food, relIshes 1t, and
wants more. There Is no limit to his
greed. He thrusts his hand into the
small opening In the gourd and his
fingers close around large supply Of
the food. Then he finds himself I'M
able to withdraw his hand. The trap
per advances and captures Mr.. Mon
key, because the animals thinking
cap and his Unsuitable greed are such
that the simple expedIent Of releasing
the food never occurs to him as
means of escape.

ADVERTISING IS AN OLD ART
Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans
Knew Something About the
Value of Publicity.

Advertising was well known in the
palmy days of Egypt. OF course, they
didn't have the electric signs blazing
across the sky, they didn't know that
red makes the best color for advertis-
Ing, green the second and black the
next, but they did understand the first
principles and applied them In daily
life, says the Detroit Free Press.
Perhaps the first bit Of advertising
copy was the 'lost, strayed or stolen"
advertisement written by an Egyptian
on a slip of papyrus when his fayorite
slave was missing.
The Greeks had even greater skill.
They advertised their concerts, musical
affairs plays and contests. They gave
us the idea of using bands to attract
crowd, for they sent around their
cities town crier, accompanied by a
musician playing harp or Tyre. He
praised extravagantly in the best Of
Greek the thing he was advertising.
Later the people began to advertise
privately, on the walls of their homes,
giving information about the standing
Of the family occupying the house and
the state OF their finances.
The Romans went them one better.
They named their streets, advertised
shows, sales and exhibitions In their
public baths. notified the public of sales
Of estates, posted lists of articles lost
and found and houses for sale or rent.
When the Huns swept down upon
Rome the advertisements disappeared
with the Roman power and did not re-
turn until the town crier Of the mid
lie ages began advertising again.

ONCE BUSY CITY NOW QUIET
Wisely Has Little TO Show That II Was
at One Time lIveliest Place of
Its Size In Europe.

To the eastward of Sweden, In the
Inhospltable Baltic, lies the great
Island Of Gothland, with It's capital Of
WHISKY, Little visited and little known,
WHISKY Is one OF the most interesting
cities of northern Europe. 1t Is In the
track of half the Russian and Scandl-
nnvlan sea commerce, but few ships
make the land today In which was once
the busiest of northern harbors.
Land at Wisely and you find a quiet
little city with Uncovered houses and
gardens of roses, going about It's unlm-
portant affairs In an atmosphere of
placid calm. 1t takes u considerable
effort of the imagination to call up a
picture Of the times when Wisely was
to the Baltic and the North sea what
Venice In the height of her power was
to the Mediterranean. Wisely In those
days was the wealthlest and llyellest
city of It's size In Europe.
The men Of WHISKY seem to have been
traders from the beginning. Back In
the ancient Morse chronicles there is
mention made Of Wisely galleys that
went nll over the known globe and
traded the treasures of the Leynnt
with Morse kings. Today they are stlll
digging about In desultory fashion
on the island in search OF historical
relies and the shovels bring up coins
OF all the ancient natlons-colns OF old
Britain, of barbarian Russia, of the
numberless German states, Of France
ana Spain and north Africa. WHISKY
gathered the gold of every land with
her venturous trading heels, in times
when little business trip had us much
romance and danger as the foray

Primitive Japanese Signs.

The most primitive form of Japa-
nese sign is that whereon is depicted
the article for sale. The hemp dealer
hangs out bundle of raw hemp fiber;
and the maker of grass or reed hats
suspends some Of these hats before his
shop entrance, while the umbrella
maker does the same. The watch
maker has big round clock or watch
over his shop, either In a tower on
the roof or on the elgn over the door.

Orjoin of Biscults.

Biscuits are said to have been In
vented by chance In the year 1860 in
France. 1t was the accidental result
of an order given by King Henri to
produce cake that could not be Sc
cured anywhere else In the kingdom.
The little son of village baker
baked the cake for which his father
had made the dough, twice instead OF
once. This Is also the origin Of the
name of IBIS cults" which translat.
ed means baked twice.

Every man, woman and child in
Missouri will remember the story that
came down from the wilds of Mime
sofa last fall from some old chump OF
an Indian, who said that he could
read the signs of the forest and that
they presaged a mild and delightful
winter.
Do you remember how he pointed
the trees was thin and that the
squirrels weren't laying away as many
nuts as usual and that the fur on the
wild beasties wasn't as thick as is al
ways the case when a tough winter
is on hand2
Well, we want that Indian!
We want to bring him down here
and have him shovel coal into the
gluttonous furnace during one of
these delightful nights he promised,
when the fire goes out II you try to
keep the house warm. or else the
house catches fire and thus keeps
warm on its own initiative.
We would also like to put him at
work chipping Ice off the sidewalk
with cold chisel and telling the
coal-bill collector that there is a vir-

REVERSED OUR FINANCIAL SIT
UATION,

What the United States has done In
a financial way during the past two
years discloses that the President and
the Democratic congress has made 1t
possible to accomplish the miracu-
lous-for the United States instead of
being a debtor nation is now a cred
itor-in other words the whole world
owes us and we do not owe the world
a penny. Read what the controller
Of the currency says in his official
report just issued:
AT the outbreak of the European
war the current Indebtedness of this
country to Europe, practically all of
which was due and payable prior to
January l, 1918, was estimated at
$3.50, 100000. The largest item of
this Indebtedness was represented by
the short item obligations of the city
of New York, about $50, 100000. The
remainder was composed of current
trade balances OF merchants and
bankers and short-tlme loans borrow
ed by business houses which had TAX
en- advantage of the easy money con-
ditlons In Europe preceding the war
crisis. Besides this current iude5t-
tuHeSS our SECURITIES nel0 bDrOlu u
were estimated at between four and
five billion dollars.
"Befort twelve months had elapsed
this country had paid in full this
| floating debt, and had begun to make
loans to both belligerent and neutral
countries in large sums. The total
OF foreign loans placed in the United
States for belligerent and neutral
countries from August 1, 1914. to No
vember l, 1916, Is estimated at ap-
proximately $4,000, 900"
Nothing even resembling such a re-
versal of financial condition ever be-
fore occurred in the history of the
world. 1t was the skill of our work
ing men as well as that of the finan-
ciers that accomplished the miracle"
Back of them was the most produc-

of free, liberty loving citizens, brought
