Laredo, Texas, gives description of the
Tascott suspect under arrest there. 1t

much-sought fugitive than any previous
capture. The prisoners appearance COR

arrest grew out of the suspect knocking

something to eat. The Sheriff noticed
the similarity to Tascott's description
and after questioning the young man
subsequently put him under arrest. The
prisoner was induced to write few
words and his handwriting strongly re-
sembled facsimile of Tascott's chiro-
graphy. The Sheriff forwarded his

SAVINGS THE FOUNDATION OF
WEALTH.

The man who saves something every
year, quotes contemporary, who had
heard the remark from every quarter,
IS on the road to prosperity. 1t may
not be possible to save much. Ii not,
save little. Do not think that dol
lar or dime IS too small sum to lay
by. Everybody knows how little expen-
ditures get away with large sums. But
few seem to know that the rule is one that
works both ways. If dime spent here
and dollar there soon makes a large
hole in mans income, so do dimes
and dollars laid away soon become a
visible and respectable accumulation.
In this country any man can make him
self independent or keep himself under
the harrow of life, according as he
wastes or spends his small change.
Most of our millionaires laid the
foundation of their fortunes by SAVING.
1t is said that Senator Farwel COM
menced life as surveyor.
Cornelius Vanderbilt began life as a
farmer.
Postmaster General Wanamaker's
first salary was SIPS a week.
A. T. Stewart made his first start as
school teacher.
Cyrus Field began life as clerk in
New England store.
Andrew Carnegie did his first work
in a telegraph office at So a week.
Whi.elaw Reid, our minister to
France, did his work as correspondent
of Cincinnati newspaper for S. week.
Moses Taylor clerked in Water Street,
New York, at So week.
George w. Childs was an errand boy
for bookseller at So month.
Jay Gould canvassed Delaware
County, N. Y, selling maps at $3.50
apiece.
And to the above names, which are
familiar to most persons, must be added
hundreds OF others whose fortune and
fame had the same small beginning.
The same or better opportunities ex-
lst today for bright, energetic young
men to succeed than existed when the
above millionaires begun their business

severance and economy which charc-
terized their early career must be OBJ.
