Among the Interesting Incidents that have just come to light concern ing the October panic in New York City, li one of an old lady who pushed her way through the linei of depositors who cordoned the build ing. That was the day when the newsboys were admonished not to yell the tale of failure! too loudly in calling "wextra!" The policeman were instating that the old lady could not itep out of the place In line which rightfully belong ed to late-comer, but ihe glanced at the keeper of the peace with disdain, that was increased teven-fold when he turned to their depoalti. " ' "Do you auppoie that I am one of these?" Who ele can you be, madam? You really mutt take your place in line." "I shall never take my place in that line," the responded, positively. "I am not a withdrawer; I have here thousand dollars of my savings which I intended to place in this bank today, just to show these people that I have every confidence in our public insti tutions and in our government" Joe Mitchell Chappie in National Maga line for January.

Were They the Mental ' Peers of the Men of Today t The genen I idea that our enormous advances in iriice and command over nature serve as demonstrations of our mental superiority to the men of ear lier ages I touUy .unfouDded. Tbe evidence of history and of the earliest monuments alike goes to Indicate that our Intellectual and moral nature baa not advanced lu any perceptible degree. In the Mcond place, we And that the supposed great mental Inferiority of savages la equally unfounded. The more they are sympathetically studied the more they are found to resemble ourselves In tbelr Inherent Intellectual powers. Even the so long despised Australian savage, almost the lowest In materia) progress, yet show by their complex language, their social regulutlona and often by an Innate nobility of char acter Indications of a very similar In ner nature to our own. It they pos sess fewer philosophers and moralists, they are also free from so largo a proportion of unbalanced minds Idiots and lunatics as we possess. On the other band, we fiud lu the higher Ta ctile types men who, though savages aa regards material progress, are yet generally admitted to be physically, In tellectually and morally our equals, If not our superiors. Thirdly, we have no proof whatever that even the men of the stone age were mentally or morally Inferior to ourselves. Alfred RuaaeJ Wallace In Fortnightly Review.
