THE FALLS CITY TRIBUNE , FRIDAY , NOVEMBER 15 , 1907 Two Panics Compared Many have been the explana tions of the stock market crasl and the runs on kinks. l'resid < cnt Roosevelt and a mnjoriU ol the Americnn people are agrcet the financial shock \vns due to ti culmination of abuses by met who have played flint and loost with honest and honorable bus ! ness principles. There 1m vc been those , however , who hnvt blamed not the evils which wen threatening mlr most sacred in stitution , but the President foi turning the light on the evils Some have accused ncwspapei hc.ulhncs for announcing tha' ' the Clearing House Committee was throwing high financiers on of presidencies ! of banks ant trust companies , and for tclliiu that thcro were runs on de positories when there were runs Others have charged the dis turbances to the defects of oui currency system. Still other ; have offered different reasons - sonic weird , yet not insane ; som < picturesque ) yet partly true. Hut it has remained for tin sapient Tariff editor of the "ISvening Post" to discover tha the thing to blame for the wholi business is the Dingley law , o since the panic befell us unde the Dinglcy act that no one evei again shall be able to say tha the Wilson law was responsibli for the bankruptcy , poverty am misery which overwhelmed u at the beginning of Presided Cleveland's second administra ( ion and continued to rage like ; plague until the voters of tin United States went to the poll in 18 % and cast their ballots fo the restoration of the Amcricai Tariff system now in operation There are some facts of sen sational differcncei of course , ii the two events The Wilson lav panic did not expire in forty eight hours ; it endured for sev eral years. Then , season afte season , farmers burned thei qrops in their stoves for fuel an- - in the fields to clear them , be cause it did not pay to send thei to market. Now there are huii drcds of millions of profits in th crops , and at this moment th farmers , with mortgages paid eland and bank accounts fat , are send ing to market some six or seye billions of products bid for b our people and by the world a prosperity prices. As they re ceivc their checks for their ne\ wealth now pouring upon thei the farmers , going to their bank to deposit the proceeds , ride i automobiles. Then the factoi ics and mills and forges closet' they remained closed ; throng the gloomy weeks and moutli and years. Now there is an ui broken hum of industry over th land. Then wage earners ha their pay cut , lost it sltogethe ; ate up their savings in the ban I and joined the bread lines. Fc a full Presidential term the mos conspicuous thing in the worl wast he empty dinner pail ( America , the most active ii dustry in this country the charit soup house. Now this is a m tion of workers on full time , wit a surplus of wages and profit : the week after the panic as tl : week before , to swell the saving banks accounts by millions , 1 buy homes and to give the be : living anywhere on earth. The the Uninted States Governmen along with the public "wei broke. " It had not enough fi come to equal its expenditure it could scarcely borrow enouy money to pay its bills from tin to day. Now the Treasury pili up such a daih surplus that can toss a few hundred millioi into the banks to supply cu rency and stop a Prosj-erii Panic. In the Wilson law period the was a panic of long duratio not because there was insufticic currency with which to do tl business of the people , but b cause there was no business provide American bread and bu t-T. Farms were wastes , mil and factories were abandons Industry was prostrateAi this misery the misery of Poverty Panic was long con tinued. Yet the jocose Free-Trade or acle tells us , though the facts of the two panics - the Prosperity Panic and the Poverty Panic are different , the principles in volved are the same. Wherefore is Protection mw banished from us as a superstition ; wherefore shall this be the end of the American Tariff system.

The simplest and surest way of inculcating good manners in children is to practice them yourself , and a home whom courtesy and consideration for others is Hit' keynote scarcely can fail to be a happy one. A pretty baby way of the best mannered boy of my acquaint- unco was to kiss his mother's and. It was not merely the in. tincl of un affectionate heart ; e had seen his father do it so epeatedly that il began as one if the imit.itive acts to which hildren are so prone. It is not an easy taslc , thai ol onking and serving a meal and Holding the children's manner.1 : it the same time , but where pa cuts art' in accord it can be one. As to when one shall be- rin , it is well to remember Oli- er Wendell Holmes' famous aying when , upon being asked , 'How soon should you begin tc rain a child ? " he replied , " 'JOt ears before it is born. " Kail in < j he ability to do this , it is well it least to begin a few month ? ifter the child is bornsoon as lit can be made to comprehendanc his at a younger age than man } Ktrents think. One ot the worst faults tc vhich young children are Habit consists in interrupting the con ersation af older people. An Hher tendency which brings tin ) lush of shame to the mother1 ! irow is that which childrei lave to contradict tlie state nents of their elders. This u o strong a habit with man ) children that it is oiuy neces jury for a mother to make ; statement involving statistics tt elicit they every-ready , "Ohno t was only three times , ' ' 01 'only two miles. " Nor is itcon ined to young children , but n [ uite as common , a n d mucl nore shameful , among growi boys and girls. If taken in tinu this should not be difficult t < correct , but the tirst step mus > e on the part of the parentwin mist take the greatest care ti be truthful. The mothers must know whei t o bestow judicious praise "Don't" is a word that shoult be eliminated from every motli er's vocabulary. U is just a easy and a great deal more sat isfactory as to results to say "Do thus and so" than it is t say "Don't do thus and so. " Parents too otten iorget to tel a child "why. " Implicit obedi ence is , of course , beautiful , bu an obedience founded on reaso is more intelligent. Nor will child with whom this rule ha been followed be less apt t obey without question i u ' cris'is. Two hangings are soon to tak place within t h e penitentiar walls if nothing happens. UntU the law all legal hangings mus take place at the penitentiary i place of in the counties where convict is convicted , llarrisc Clarke , the negro murderer t Omaha who killed a street a conductor in an attempt to rob , to be put to death December 1 , As that date falls on Friday tl number 13 is all the more signii cant.

BROUGHT FLATTERY TO BEAR Persians Acted Shrewdly In Effort to Save Comrade Who Had Been Indiscreet. A modern instance of the quick ness of Persian wit was told me by a missionary physician of Teheran , MIVH a correspondent. Whatever the estimate in which the missionary who deals with the soul or with the mind may ho hold , the missionary who deals with the body is always regarded with respect not unmingled - mingled within we. To him is given the title of "Tho Wise Man. " One day Dr. was passing the house of a wealthy I'ciMian. Scv- tral servants sat , at the gate. W th one exception they all know the doe- tor , and , rising , saluted him with great respect. The stranger made some insulting remark about the "frungi" and spat at the foreigner. Dr. instantly stopped , and or dered that the young man be brought to him. Two of the serv ants , seizing their companion by the shoulders , hurried him forward , and when they reached the doctor's car riage one of them said : "Oh. Chief of the Wise Men , this boy is an diet whom our master has brought lere from a distant province , think- ng that you alone have the skill to cure him. " SPITZ3ERGEN HUNTING GOOD. Ft is getting to be a fad among 'arisian sportsmen to join the Xor- vegiati hunting putties which start 'or the far northern seas every spring and bring back big hags of til of the way game. Those expo- lit ions embark in sloops of from 150 o 50 tons , ench carrying a crow < v ight or ten men. They usually sail from the northern and north western parts of Xorway. Tromso s "the chief point of departure. Oftenest they make for Spitxborgon , nit sometimes they cruise as far as he eastern coast of Greenland. IVenty-ono boats sailed from Tom- so in the spring of 1900. This is the record of the booty they brought hack : 31)15 ) white bears , of which 'G were alive1 135 walrus , including .hree living ones4,40-1 mitred seals , 135 bearded seals and 572 common seals ; 130 white whales , iiFS rein- leer ; one iiarwhulo ; Gt blue foxes , SO white foxes ; 1,0"G pounds of eiderdown , and -1,1'33 tons of whale oil. The total value of the cargoes brought in is estimated at about $10,000. WILL MAKERS' WHIMS. The late T. Jk-van. onV time M. P. for Gravosend. who directed in lis will that his body should be cremated and the "ash residue ground to powder and again burned and disMpnted in the air , " is ono of many men ( and women ) who liavo made equally remarkable ar rangements for the disposal of their mortal remains. An angler who died recently di rected that his ashes should be car ried in a bait can and scattered from a boat over the surface of his favorite stream ; .Mrs. Krnle-Krle- Drax diivcted that her body should lie embalmed and placed in a glass paneled coflin , for the reception of which a circular mausoleum with stained glass dome was to bo built ; while , at his own wish , the body of. one of the Lords Xewshorongh , aftci 13 mouths' interment , was exhumed and reburied in Hardsey island , the reputed resting place of 20,000 saints. Westminster Gazette. FIRST FRICTION MATCH. John Walker , a druggist in Eng land , invented the first really prac tical friction matches , giving to thorn the name of "Congreves. " They were of thin strips of wood , or cardboard , coated and dipped with Milplwr and tipped with a mixture of sulphide of antimony , chlorate of potash and mucilage. Hut they \\ere expensive anil beyond the raicli of the common people , costing 3. rents for seven dozen of them.

Kansas City Stock Yards , Nov. 11 , TK)7. ) After Monday of last week eattle receipts were held down to a point slightly un der the demand , and the result was a recoverv from Monday's low leve'l on all kinds- Weighty fed steers made only a slight gain , but light steers and westerns ad vanced 20 to 35 cents after Mon day , and cows and heifers gained 15 to 25 cents , stockefs and feed ers remained about steady all week , with a smaller volume of trade as receipts of this class are falling' off , and calves advanced 25 to 50 cents. The only bad feature today is an excessive sup ply at Chicago , with prices re ported 10 to 25 cents lower there , otherwise the 11000 head receiv ed here today would be handled at steady to strong prices. As it is , heavy natives are weak to 10 lower , top S6.10 , lighter steer- * and westerns and she stuff abou' steady , stockers a n d feeders strong ; calves stead ) * . Short fed steers tjell at So to Sf > , grass west erns $3.40 to $4.50. One string of westerns sold at $3.75 tirst of last week , and similar steers brought $4.15 before the cud of the week ; cows range from $2.25 to $3.75a few at $4 and upwards , heifers $2.75 to $4.25 , bulls $2 to $3.50 , calves $3.50 to $6.25stock- ers$2.75to $4.25 , feeders $3.50 to $4.50. A fairly good number of Colorado , New Mexico and Panhandle stockers are to be had at $3 to $3.75. Hogs suffered a net decline of 70 cents last week , but the bis ; break had the effect of shutting oil supplies , and a re-action set in Thursday , markets slightly higher each day since , including a rise of 5 to 10 cents today. Top today is $5.30 , bulk of sales $5.1C to $5.20. Run today is less than 5000 head here , and is light at all points. Packers have been predicting a still further decline ) but it was noted that they were free buyers when the price got down to $5 or lower , showing more activity than any time pre- vionsly this fall. Sheep and lambs have been coming freely , and prices have been going down steadily , with.a few exceptions since a week ago. Run is 50000 head today market 10 lower , nearly all the supply range stock , with country kind * at prices that look cheap when compared wi'h ' a short time ago , lambs at $5 to $5.
