ORANG-UTAN WINDY
Windy had a visitor. Now, Windy
was an orang-utan and his home was
In the zoo.
The keeper asked the lady who had
come to call on Windy if she would
like to watch Windy in the big room
at the back of the monkey house and
the lady said she would be delighted.
She was very fond of the orang-utan
pets at the zoo.
"Well, Windy," said the keeper,
"show the lady to the big room." 1
The keeper undid Windy's big cage
and Windy hopped down and first of
all shook hands with the lady.
Then he led her by the hand to the
big room, finding it by himself. Windy
went along on two feet and also
helped himself by his other hand,
which was not holding the lady's hand.
When the lady spoke to Windy he
understood her. They got back to the
big room and the lady said:
"Come, Windy, and sit by me."
She didn't say the words as though
giving a command. She didn't point
to a place for him to come. She said
it In a very ordinary tone of voice and
yet Windy understood perfectly.
He came over and sat by her and
when she asked him to shake hands
with her he did so. Then she patted
him and said :
"Nice Windy. Windy, would you
like a banana?"
"Well, Windy understood at once.
He began sniffing about her as though
to say:
"Where is that banana which you're
asking me if I would like?"
And the lady said :
"If you look in my big black bag
over on yonder table you will find a
banana in it."
Windy hopped down and went over
to the table. lie jumped up on the
tnMe, after having pulled a chair near
to it so as to help himself up and then
he got hold of the black bag. Now,
the black bag had quite difficult
catch which had to be snapped one
way and then up another before it
would open.
At first Windy puzzled over it, but
soon he found the way It would open
and then he looked inside.
There were two packages there. One
hod sandwiches in it which the lady
was going to have later on, and in the
other were two bananas. -
Wint;y first took hold of the pack
age with the sandwiches.
"No, not that one, said the lady.
"The other package."
And Windy then took hold of the
other package and began to untie the
string.
"Let's each eat a banana," said the
lady. And Windy came over to her
and handed her a banana, and then
he sat beside her and, taking over the
"Then He Looked at Himself."
skin of his banana, as he ate it, they
each had a little treat the lady and
the orang-utan!
He wasn't greedy in the way he ate.
He just had a thoroughly good tune.
And then Windy wandered about the
room entertaining the lady.
He hadn't been taught any tricks
except those he had taught himself.
And he understood all sorts of things
the lady said to hkn not just such
words as he might have learned any
way. He understood her tones of voice
and what she meant.
And as they sat there in the room
the children stood outside the window
and watched them.
They shrieked with delight to see
the things Windy was doing. He went
over to a water faucet and turned it
on and took a wash-rag and cleaned
his face. Then he dried it with a towel
which was hanging nearby.
Next he took a toothbrush, which
was kept there for h!m in a cup, and
he brushed his teeth, and then he
looked at himself in the mirror hang
ing above.
He brushed himself and came again
and sat by the lady. Then he would
stop for a moment or so and the lady
could see he was thinking what to do
next, just as anyone will stop and
think and then begin to do something
else.
He pulled the window blinds up and
down and he arranged the chairs in
the room, he turned a somersault and
he did some fine climbing, and when
It was time for the lady to leave he
took her back, opening the door for
her.
And when she left he politely shook
hands -with her. Oh Windy was oj
polite and such a lovable, interesting
animal. Yes, he was all of that and
even more. The lady loved him better
than any other animal in the zoo and
she knew them all pretty weiL

MURRAY . -:- -:- -:- NEBRASKA
TRUSTING THE BANK
Several days ago a newspaper story
was published about a farmer being
murdered for his money. The mur
derer had discovered that, the old
man had about $2,000 in cash con
cealed on his preuii.-ses, and robbery
was the motive of the" crime.
It is a bit astonibhing in ih;3 day
and age any person would keep that
amount in cash about the house.
Money in old socks or under the
rag carpet is one of the most useless
things in the world. Such money doea
not even furnish anj' real protection
to the person who has hidden it, for
it is so likely to be lost or stolen or
burned up, or the provoking cause o
murder, just like this case.
People usually store money in this
way because they do not trust the
banks and other financial institu
tions which handle the funds of their
depositors. Even under a total lu-k
of guarantee laws the bank is ordi
narily a safer depository for money
than is the old sock.
One function of money is to make
more money for its possessor. It was
not meant to be hoarded, but to be
used to furnish tUe lifeblood for t'ae
(arteries of trade. Money that i set at
J work makes money, not only in a di
rect way for its owner, but indirect
ly for everybody. Industries live on
capital, under our present social or
ganization, which seems likely to
persist for some time to come. La
borers work when money .works and
starvation would come to many if all
the money of the country were put
nnder the carpet. And the money it
self would become worthless.
Another bulwark of industry is
confidence. The wheel of trade will
not turn without the lubricant of
trust. The widespread spirit of suspi
cion that leads to the hoarding of
money in the home is not good for
business.
America needs to get its money out
of the teapot and the oven and put
it in the banks and the business of
the land. If people will not trust
the banks, let them loan their money
to Uncle Sam. Probably he will not
go bankrupt; and if he does, the
money will be of no use anyhow. Put
j-our money at work, somewhere and
somehow, and then go to work your
self in the cheerful confidence that
most of your fellowmen are honest
and will protect your interests.
