Quite a joke wal played on one of the
officers yesterday. A man was found
lying in a sequestered portion of the city
in a beastly state of intoxication. In fine,
he was dead drunk-completely paralyzed
A wag seeing the sleeping man, borrowed
a knife, and opening it placed it in the
~drunkard's hand. Then he wandered
around until he found a policeman and
notified him that there was a dead man
near the warehouse and probably a case Of
suicide, as he had an open knife in his
hand.
The officer Immediately sought the corpse
and the rapidity with which he went
would lead bystanders to believe that he
had borrowed the seven leagued boots for
the occasion. His disgust on finding the
supposed suicide a dead drunk, can better
be imagined than described. With CON
siderable industry he resurrected thai
corpse and carried it to the City Hall por-
tails. 1t is,quite needless to state that the
perpetrator Of the joke was a lightning.

SAVING BANKS.
How Thrift May lie Made to Predominste
by their Establishment.

by their Establishment.
To the Gazette;
/ am recent arrival in Fort Worth,
but have come to stay. You will.
hope, not deem 1t an impertinence on
my part to utter few sentences indi-
cative of certain Improvements and
advantages to the city, which are capa-
BILE of early achievem ent by a little
! judicious organize, ion. In Fort Worth
there is no savings bank, This con-
slider very serious defect in city of
such progress and Importance. In
every city of twenty thousand popula-
ton a large proportion of the inhabi-
tanis must belong to the class depend
ent on labor for subsistence. To these
may be added salaried officials and
small dealers. Frugality on the part
of most of these will enable them to
save portion of their earnings
but having saved that por-
ton there is no convenient
place for safe and profitable deposit. If
a savings bank were in existence the
small surplus could be conveniently
placed till another little saving would
be added. AS il is the little possible
saving, finding no place for safe de-
posit, gets scattered amongst various
=
fancied or real wants.
1t is wonderful how soon few Titles
become quite respectable sum. Fru-
gality, and the desire and power TO
accumulate grow and increase as the
amount rises by repeated additions.
The best citizenship will be found
amongst those who become poSsessors
of property, whether real or personal +: !
and the cultivation of the spirit of ac- /
QUESTION amongst a people ought to be |
the effort of all who wish well to the \
commonwealth. Noralitv and self /
respect are best dcv.ilped in these .
who toll for substance and carefully /
guard it, when obtained. The poor /
mans bank book is the best testi-
monial 10 his character But outside
the savings bank the poor man can
secure no such evidence OF respect
ability. The big banks are beyond his
reach.
A recent report of the New York
savings banks states that deposits
therein are growing heavier yearly in
10 the population, and that
men and women are thriller than
OF course they are. II will
slwaps be so where the opportunity for
thrift is presented. PTesiden! George
