ON BORROWING

Borrowing is a talent, vice,Aa vir-
ture, dissipation and very pleas
ant help in time of trouble.
Borrowing is not all of the things
to the same man, however. There
are as many kinds Of borrowing as
there are many ways Of telling a girl
that she is nine up and eight to play
with you
Some men borrow money as they
would lawn mower, an umbrella,
a street car ticket or a tooth brush.
1t is easier to borrow money than It
is 10 hustle around and stake a claim
on a good job These men generally
begin life with a large circle Of
friends and end with few ac-
Quaintances who by reason of rheu-
matism or stringhalt are unable to
be elsewhere in a great hurry.
Some men borrow money because
they have lost theirs and must
finance a new start. Getting new
start on nice large wad of Dor
rowed money is a nice diversion OF
labor. The borrower does the work
ing and the borrower does the wor-
Tying.
Some men borrow money because
they have to have it. There is no
more legitimate object of pity than
the man who tries to borrow money
because he needs it, John D. Rookie
Teller who has several cisterns full
of bond coupons, could so out al
any time and borrow wagon load
of rich, juicy scads because he
doesn't need them. But when a man
has to have $500 by tomorrow noon
he discovers that depression hangs
over the land, that stocks are dc
pressed, the future - black, the word
currency has been torn out Of the
dictionary and that all of his friends
had unfortunately disposed Of their
surplus wealth only the day before.
Some men borrow money in order
to set it 70 work. They are reg
ular employment bureau for idle
money. They take the dollar which
has lain for years in the stocking Of
its secretiveN owner and set it to work
plling up interest. They rifle the
savings banks to build railroads and
empty the corncribs of the nation in
order to erect new factories.
Many a man has started in life
with nothing but a genius for Dor
rowing some other mans money and
returning it to him twofold in the
course of time.

Most women, however. who are

BIRDS AND THEIR TOES

How the Art Of Standing Began
Birds That Perch and Those
That Run.
And let us note thas the Grt Of
standing began with birds. Frogs sit,
and as far as know every reptile, be
it lizard, crocodile. alligator or tor
toise, lays its body on the ground
when not actually carrying it. And
these have each four fat legs Con-
trast the flamingo, which, having on
" two, and those Hike willow wands,
tucks upon one Of them and sleeps
poised high on the other. like tulip
on its stem.
Note also that one toe has been al
together discarded by birds as super
fluous. The germ. or bud, must be
there, for the Dorking fowl has pro-
duced fifth toe under some influ-
ence of the poultry yard, but no nat
ural bird has more than four.
Except in swifts, which never perch.
but cling to rocks and walls, one Is
turned backward, and by cunning
contrivance the act of bending the
leg draws them all automatically to-
gether. So hen closes its toes at
every step it takes, as if it grasped
something and of course when it set
ties down on its roost they grasp that
tight and hold it fast till morning.
But to birds that do not perch this
mechanism is only an encumbrance.
so many Of them, like the ployers.
abolish the hind toe entirely. and the
prince of all two legged runners, the
ostrich has got rid of one of the front
toes also. retaining only two.
