with one dime. II you have nothing

want cigar, go without the cigar. II
you want lunch and have nothing but

large proportions. You will be sur
prised when you adopt the plan to see
the number of dimes in circulation.
Now. when you come to think Of
IL, dime is no small sum. IL you save
all the dimes you get in change yon

penditures. II you are not free with
your money your savings will of course
not amount to u great deal; still, they

devised for the purpose Of making peo-
pie who spend money freely save n
part of their probationary. 1t is n
good thing, too. in the way of teaching
man frugality and thrift l believe
that any one who learns to save in
small things will not be long in learn

Inquiries among personal friends
served to show the reporter thas the
dime-saving plan had become to many
of them fascinating habit.
al took up the scheme last spring"
said young married man. "at the so
licitation of my wife. We had been
figuring up my expenses-that is. my
personal expenses-and she declared
me frightfully extravagant. insisted
that the expenses could not well be
curtailed. She advised the practice OF
little self-denial in the matter OF ci-
CARS. shines and all other little on
pcnses that eat up n dollar so quickly.
| said II would be impossible for me to
forego these little luxuries, rs they had
so grown upon me; and she, while as
severating she did not want me to rev
Olutionize things, maintained that a
little denial of these pleasures, mod
Grafton of them, in fact, would improve
me financially and physically.
ut was about that time that heard
, of the dime scheme, and l became an
advocate and devotee Of it at once.
Well. you wouldn't believe how
profted by il. 1t became a matter of
| the greatest interest to me, In the first
place, to secure change that had no
dimes in it. In the second place it be-
came interesting and amusing to deny
myself certain things Iotherwise would
buy without any thought of saving.
Every thing / denied myself became
really source of pleasure to me, and
would not only enjoy the saving of
the money that would otherwise have
been spent, but l enjoyed telling my
wife about it. Furthermore, | felt the
kecnest interest in the pile of dimes
that was constantly growing. / felt
free to spend in some things. because
l knew that would get my return in
dimes. The desire to add to my pile,
however, kept me from buying many
and many thing should have been
as eager us before to secure.
IL know you will refuse to believe
me, now, when tell you that i have
saved in six months nearly 800. It's
n solemn fact, though. and by Christ
mas think shall have saved about
$3.50. My salary is 81, 800 a year, and
has been for two years past, and am
really ashamed to say that never until
| adopted this dime-saving method
have saved any money. My wife
and are delighted with it. and
think see my way to saving $1,000
next year have determined to buy
q house and lot with dimes. and to be-
come wholesome example to my boy,
il | should live until he becomes 2
young man. and am confident that
shall never cease adjuring him to save
his dimes
Now" said the gentleman's wife,
''you need not think that he is the
only member of the firm that does any
dime-saving. II you knew what a
walker had become through my nm
willingness to part with dime, you
would open your eyes in wonder.
Often and often have walked home
| from Fourth street because Of having
no other money than dimes. l have
saved nearly all my church money.
