He quickly discovered that there
were waya in which he could tease
Mist Kitty Cat that annoyed her
greatly, while keeping hit nose out of

her tail grow big. Barking made hcjr
spit at him. But there was something

When Spot stood stock still one day,
with his tail stuck straight out be

nose, he made her almost fraantic.
"What are you pointing at with
that long nose of yours?" Mist Kitty

Romance in Origin
Of Superstitions
By H. I. KING.
The Moon anl Insanity.
How universal was formerly the
belief that there was a direct connec
tion betweenthe moon and insanity
is shown by the fact that our worse
lunacy and lunatic are derived directly
from Luna, the Latin name of the
Roman moon goddess corresponding
with the Greek Selene. Luna was
e moon and she was only one of
the various personifications of the
moon which existed in all mytholo
gies and of which Isis of the Egyp
tians appears to have been the or
iginal. It used to be a common be"
lief .among sailors especially, that if
a person slept in the moonlight he
was liable .to go mad. That super
stition is still in existence as is also
the more common one that lunatics
are more violent -when the moon i
at the full. Even Thackeray, in his
story of "Catherine," appears to
credit this mistaken belief; and it is
not so very long ago that responsibls
physicians began to doubt the theory.
it is very common superstition to-i
day that to sleep in the moonlight i
dangerous that "something will
happen" to one who does so, a be
lief surviving from the insanity su
perstition. '
This idea of' the connection "be
tween the moon and insanity is de
rived from the belief of the ancients
that inspiration and madness were
closely connected. The prophetess
of the Delphian shrine worked her
self into a frenzy before she uttered
her oracles and the priests of the
moon goddess bathed themselves m
her refulgent beams to obtain inspir
ation and declaimed from her altars
after the manner of madmen.
Modern medical science declares
that there is not the slightest con
nection between the moon and insan
ity and modern research shows that
the whole idea is a superstition sur:
t..M .V, rlnr. wViAfi the
riests of lsis by tne Danns 01 inc
lie waved their wildlarms toward
their shining goddess and wuti eyes
in fine frenzy rolling declaimed net
oracles to an awe-struck people.

on end. She glared at Spot and M'''t
at him in a most unladylike fashion.
Spot found it very hard to stand
still and never let out a single yelp.
Once he almot whined. Hut he
managed to ttitlle the sound.
"If she swellt up much more the'i
likely to burst," he thought.
"Go away." Mitt Kitty scolded.
"Don't you know better than to stare
at a lady?"
Never an answer did old Spot
make.
It was a little more than Mit Kit
ty Cat could endure. With a yowl
that had in it something of anger and
something of fear, too, she jumprd
off the dooriitrp where she had been
sitting and whisked around the cor
ner of the house.
With Miss Kitty Cat's first leap
Spot came suddenly to life. II
barked joyfully and followed her.
Mist Kitty Cat ran up a tree in
the yard and stayed theie until Spot
went off chuckling.
"I'm glad I played that trick on
her," he said to himself. "It seems
to bother her more than anything
else I've ever tried."
Thereafter Spot often pointed at
Miss Kitty when he met her, either
inside the house or about the yard.
And she never failed to fly into a pas
sion. "Such manners I never saw," she
spluttered when she talked one day
with a cat from the nearest farm
house.
"I'd soon cure the old dog of that
unpleasant trick if he tried it on me,"
her neighbor remarked.
"What would you do?" Miss Kitty
Cat wanted to know.
"I'd chase him."
"He can run faster than ( I can."
said Miss Kitty.
"When he's pointing at you jump
at him before he can turn around. If
you draw your slaws across his nose
just once tie'll be careful alter that
to look the other way when he sees
you."
"Your plan sounds as if it might
be worth trying," said Miss Kitty
thoughfully.

The Buying Impetus
By JACK LEE
A DECIDED Impetus In retail buying on the part of
consumers is already being felt in business circles
and the move is having its strengthening effect on whole
salers and manufacturers. The buying urge is expected
to make itself more evident in the near future. This is
the opinion of experts yho are watching continually the
ever-changing conditions.
In early summer, especially in the past month, buy
ing in retail stores has been comparatively low. Cus
tomers bought only what was absolutely necessary.
Many persons went without things needed and got along
with the best they had,-waiting for that mythical "return
to 'normalcy. " Don't hold your breath until business
reaches "normalcy." You'll be blue in the face.
But now merchants are noticing an increase in their
retail sales. It probably isn't enough to brag about, but
it is evidence of smoother waters ahead. They predict
that buying will continue and finally resolve itself into
brisk buying before the latter part of September.
Buyers already are in the market obtaining their
fall and winter stocks.
This impetus in retail buying is welcomed by all
concerned. It is already having its influence on whole
salers and manufacturers. The move seems to be na
tional, according to reports of business and economic
conditions from various centers.
In the east the buying impulse is credited to an in
creased demand for labor in all industrial lines.
At home there is no doubt that an era of better
times is about to be ushered in because of the bumper
grain crops which are now moving to market.
Contrary to all predictions last spring, wheat and
oat crops are good and are bringing good prices. Hogs,
in spite of the cheapness of feed, are bringing prices not
to be sneezed at. Other live stock is holding its own
and farmers of Nebraska at last see a rift in the dark
clouds which have been obscuring the sun of prosperity
for months.
Crop money has relieved financial stringency in the
country and city banks. Farmers have been able to pay
off a part of their obligations to the small banks. The
small banks in turn have passed the farmers' money on
to pay off obligations to the city, banks. The influence
of this crop money is felt in all lines: ;
i
Grain men say that grain prices will "continue good
because of the heavy foreign demand for our wheat.
This demand has been heavier this year than for a num
ber of years. ' At present corn is the only fly in the
farmers' ointment. If com does not pick up in price one
stockman has suggested that it be used in feeding hogs
on a large scale for marketing purposes.
As an Omaha banker put it recently, "If the farmers
had lived in the past four years as they have the past
six months we would not have had the stringent condi
tions we have experienced. When money was plentiful
farmers spent it like water. When money was scarce,
farmers began to save and wasteful buying and squan
dering ceased. There has been none of this in the past
six months. Farmers have been careful with what money
they could get. The result is now being felt."
Bank clearings, which are always good business
barometers, have been on the increase in Omaha for the
past three weeks. While not as heavy as last year,
which was an unusual year, the clearings are above those
of practically every city its Bize.
Yet, as Archer Wall Douglas of the United States
Chamber of Commerce says in a recent article :
"While these promising signs have appeared on the
business horizon, it is not yet time to 'holler,' for we are
not yet out of the woods. There are still adjustments
to be made, financial wrecks to be disposed of, many
problems to be solved. But we seem to be headed defi
nitely toward better conditions, e,ven though they are
still far off . We are apparently in the initial stages of
emergence from the present business depression and en
tering upon a period when each particular business will
be governed more by natural laws pertaining to it and
less abnormal forces which turned the world upside
down." ' . .
Business men declare that there is a certain current
of suspicion on the part of the consumer toward the re
tailer and wholesaler because of prevailing prices. s
This suspicion is unjust. In practically all lines
wholesaler and retailer have accepted losses on high
priced stocks and are diposing of them at prices in com
parison to those demanded by the wholesaler or manu
facturer. More thrift, more faith in the retailer and less of
hit-and-miss buying and more judicious expenditures
will do a lot toward getting business ahead.
