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

wealth now pouring upon thei
the farmers , going to their bank
to deposit the proceeds , ride i
automobiles. Then the factoi

the gloomy weeks and moutli

broken hum of industry over th
land. Then wage earners ha
their pay cut , lost it sltogethe ;

Way to Teach Children Manner ?
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

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

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. It
would he diflleult to mention an in
vention of greater utility to man
kind as a genuine convenience am !
necessity than the common mutcli
that we hold so cheaply.

Market Letter.
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 *

compared wi'h ' a short time ago ,
