School Savings.

A few years ago n French gentleman
in America, M. Thirty, began to ngitate
the subject of school savings banks for
children. His plan was for the young peo-
pie to save their small sums, from cent
upwards, deposit them with tho teacher
each Monday morning. and have the
amount recorded on card, which the
pupil kept. AS soon as the sum contrib
uted By any one pupil amounted to q
quarter, the pupil received bank book.
The money of the school was to DO do.
posted in Irregular savings bank, his own
sums regularly credited to each pupil.
Monsieur Thirty had been teacher in
France. He had seen the school savings
bank system tried there anu elsewhere
in Europe. Belgium has Mt this time
4,700 schools, that have on deposit $685.
1871. Liverpool has 1870 schools that have
saved Sl22, 500. France, the most thrifty
and careful nation on the globe, has in
bank school children's savings to the
amount Of SO, 467 $50. This was collect
ed from 23,875 schools.
Monsieur Thirty thought if the system
could be adopted in tho United States
itwould teach our Yankee children early
to have habits of thrift and to under
stand business methods. His idea is
slowly being adopted in various parts of
the country. There are now in the Union
fifty schools that use the savings system.
They have already $4,000 on deposit,
all saved from the nickels and small
sums of the children. In bank in Long
Island City, boy II years old has
$427.25 to his credit. The children often |
earn the money themselves.

Jack Rabbits VS.. Pasteur.

Some years ago the Frenchman, NJ.
Pasteur, was believed to have discovered
q remedy for hydrophobia. 1t was to
inoculate the patient with the attenuated
virus of rabies. For this purpose Pas
teur kept hundreds Of dogs at his exper.
imenting quarters. The animals were
tortured without mercy, it is said, in Or
der that NJ. Pasteur might pursue his
theory. Patients who had been bitten
by alleged mad dogs were sent to him
from all over the civilized world. The
patients were not often suffering from
rabies when they were sent to him.
They went because It was feared they
would have rabies. They were inoculat-
ed and in nearly every instance recov-
cred. This was considered triumph
for Pasteur. In most instances it was
forgotten. however, that there was no
certainty the patient would have had
rabies il he had not gone to the French
mans hydrophobic studio.
At any rate, though, Pasteur was high
IN public favor Tor several years. Re-
Gently, however, there Is q reaction.
The Australian government offered q re-
ward Of 100000 for any plan that would
rid the country Of the rabbit pest. Pas
teur proposed his homeopathic inocula-
ton system. He sent q large quantity
of virus to Australia. Rabbits were
caught and plentifully inoculated. But
they did not 60 mad, they did not bite
other rabbits and they did not die.
Tho plan was q dead failure as tried
on rabbits. And now, people are begin
ming to think it may have been a hum
bug all along. Meantime the one fact
that is absolutely certain is the cruelty
that has been practiced on Pasteur's dogs

The annual agitation about q new
house for the presidential family at
Washington is on again. Those who op-
pose 1t say the grand old historic White
House is a very good, comfortable home,
and that new one would be useless and
extravaganza. Those in favor of the new
mansion, on the other hand. assert that
the old house is stepped in malaria and
sewer gas. The business Of the presi-
dency has grown SO since the country
has enlarged from thirteen states to
forty-two, that the whole White House
Is now needed merely for an Office for
the president. He or his family have

1t is fact that the American navy ex-
lists now chiefly on paper. 1t will take
at least two years. steady work to COM
plete the vessels under way or ordered.
Until then the United States can make
no showing for a navy. This fact is de.
plored by many Americans, who have
already forgotten apparently what was
done on the breaking out of the war. If
a war should again arise, the whole re-
sources Of tho country would be applied
to the construction Of a navy. In a few
weeks war vessels would be fitted out
which would answer all purposes. The
nations would see what we could do in a
real emergency.

The above is the impartial and intel
ligent comment of the Alpena Journal

PUBLICAN of the 9th INST:
The people of Dakota are in no mood

that the interests of the whole terri

platform of cheap denuneiatior of
bankers and railroads and of loud
mouthed affection for the ''down-tred-

share of shrewdness and good sense,
and the man who attempts to lead
them around under banner of clap

enough to point out where the praise

study to advantage the record of the
election of speaker Keith and the
makeup of his committees.

Tho Story of "Annie Laurie"

The famous song that is sung by all
singers of the present day, l am in
formed, is a mystery as to the author.
was raised on the next farm to James
Laurie, Annie Laurie's father, and was
personally acquainted with her and her
father, and also with the author of the
song. Knowing these facts have been
requested by my friends to give the pub
lie the benefit of my knowledge, which 1
have consented to do. Annie Laurie was
born in 1897, and was about II years old
when the incident occurred which gave
rise to the song bearing her name. James
Laurie, Annie Laurie's father, was a
farmer, who lived and owned very
large farm called Traglestown, in Dunn
friesshire, Scotland. He hired a great
deal Of help, and among those that he
employed was a man by the name Of
Wallace to act as foreman, and while in
his employ Mr.. Wallace fell in love with
Annie Laurie, which fact her father soon
learned and forthwith discharged him.
He went to his home, which was in Max
welton, and was taken sick the very
night he reached there, and the next
morning, when Annie Laurie heard of it,
she came to his bedside and waited on
him until he died, and on his death bed
he composed the song entitled 'sAnnie
Laurie. Chicago Herald.

Mr.. Bright used to be fond of salmon
fishing in the Highlands. One evening
he and his party were returning to their
inn after q day of poor sport to all except
himself-and he had brace of fine sal
mon. By the roadside on a heap of
stones they passed wretched looking
man weeping, with his hands on his face
and all in rags. In answer to Mr..
Brights inquiry he told q piteous tale of
starvation at home, a sick child and five
hungry children. The tribune put his
hand in his pocket, but unluckily had no
change. "Never mind, take that" he
said, offering salmon. "It will at
least make a good dinner for you once"
The sequel was as follows: After washing
his hands Alr. Bright was coming down
to dinner when a girl happened to be
crossing to the larder with fine fish.
THAT is my salmon" said Mr.. Bright,

outside. Where did you get it?'' ooh,

sic, 'sand he is in the taproom." Mr..
Bright, looking rather grim and stern,
forced his way into the taproom, where
his lachrymose friend sat with number
of cronies taking his "nip," and in full
glee recounting his adventure Nor was
he bit abashed at the stern face of the
peoples tribune, but had begun long

OF scorn which had electrified parlia-
ments and audiences swept over him.

The real estate boomers from Huron
now at Washington had narrow es-
cape during the progress of the Dakota
debate last week. Mr.. Springer was
speaking to his substitute, and had
reached the point where the question
of resubmitting the Sioux Falls con.
stitution and the choice of officers
hereunder had to be considered.
'Why is it" he asked, chat the gen.
tlemen are so strenuous to have a new
vote on everything but capital loca--''
Just then delegate Clifford inter-
rupted him with the remark that the
Platt bill had been amended to include
a new vote on everything. MIR.
Springer was surprised to learn this,
and of course had to skip his carefully
prepared expose of the influences
which led up to the late democratic
convention in this city. Judge Gift
ford's course in adding this to the
other amendments to the Platt pill is
in line with the majority sentiment in
south Dakota, which favors new
vote on all propositions, if any ofthem
are to be resubmitted.
