THE NATIONAL TRIBUNE: WASHINGTON THURSDAY a.

Col Rake's General Orders, No. 16, resulted IN con-
viction of the charge of conduct unbecomiDg a
member I'm relation to the Order. The sentence OF
the court was suspension from membership In the
Order for one year, which has been approved. The
First Lieutenant will fill out the unexpired time of
Capt Maneeley, whose commission Is hereby re-
voked. In answer to many inquiries with regard
to the certificate of membership offered pre-
MUM to the brother bringing the largest number
of recruits into his Camp II Is described being
Autograph, printed in gilt and
five colors, size I5x20 1t is certificate which any
brother should be proud to possess. In response
TO our offering prizes to the Camps showing the
largest percentage of gain during the present quar-
throughout the State Let me again urge upon
every brother the necessity of doing his full duty,
that we may, on taking up the work for the year
$780, profit by the inspiration of healthy growth,
and increasing interest and loyalty to the cause.
To make sure of an increase of l. 900 members, no

Be HAPPY Now.-O ye tired moth
ers, and daughters, and occupants Of
the sitting room generally, listen now
and let me tell you a secret-a secret
worth knowing. This taking no COM
fort as you go along, but forever look
ing forward to all the enjoyment, does
not pay. From what I know Of 1t l
would as soon chase butterflies for q
living, or bottle moonshine for q
cloudy night. The only true way to
be happy Is to take the drops of happi-
ness as God gives them to us every day
of our lives. What is work but some-
thing to keep us out Of mischief? and
she who does too much of it, instead
of keeping out of mischief is playing
the very mischief with herself. How
can woman be at her best to enter
tain her husband, or to instruct or
amuse her family, who makes a per-
petual slave of herself, and keeps her
poor tired body in state of drudgery
and physical weakness? Better let
some things 60 undone than so COM
pletely unfit ones self for all enjoy
ment at home. The great thing is to
learn to make the most of ones self,
and to be happy over our work.

The Origin of Savings Banks.

Probably not many people are aware
that it is to the Church we owe the ex-
istence of sayings banks. In the year
1899 the Rev. J. Smith, rector of Wen
dover, Buckinghamshire, being anx-
ious to encourage the practice of thrift
in his parish, offered, with two other
responsible inhabitants, to receive
weekly any sum not less than two
pence and agreed, if the amount were
not touched before the Christmas fol-
lowing the date of deposit, to add one
shilling as bonus, by way of encour-
agement. This was, practically, the
first bank for savings established IN
the country. The excellent example
of the Rector of Wendover was soon
initiated by others but the chief cred
it of founding the Savings Bank sys-
tenn as we know it to-day belongs else
where. The Rev. Henry Duncan,
who in the early years of the present
century was minister of the parish OF
Ruthwell, Dumfriesshire, saw with
grief in the homes of his parishioners
the accursed effects of improvidence,
and bethought him of some practical
method whereby the evil might be
cured. He accordingly opened in 1910
"Bank for Savings" and forthwith
invited all who had even the most trl-
fling sum to save to step in and save 1t.
The system thus happily initiated by
Duncan was from the outset charac-
terised by sound common-sense and
easy rracticability and its example
was so favorably regarded that by the
year 1917 no fewer than seventy-eight
similar societies for savings were in
active operation throughout the Uni
ted Kingdom.

A delightful perfume for halls and
parlors in dwelling houses or hotels
can be easily procured at this season OF
the year, and it is such pure yet de-
licious odor that it charms every one.
1t is simply rose jar, which should be
opened for about one hour every morn
ing and then carefully closed. A writ
er in one of our English contempora-
ries describes the best method for
stocking the jar, and in doing it sug-
gests the preparation of the rose stock
should be detailed to the care-taking
member of the family, who never for
gets anything. Gather the rose petals
in the morning; let them stand in q
cool place, toss them up lightly for one
hour to dry; then put them in layers,
with salt sprinkled over each layer, in
a large covered dish-a glass butter
dish is a convenient receptacle. You
can add to this for several mornings,
till you have enough stockholm one
pint to a quart, according to the size OF
the jar; stir every morning, and let
the whole stand for ten days. Then
transfer it to a glass fruit jar, in the
bottom of which you have placed two
ounces of allspice, coarsely ground,
and as much stick cinnamon, broken
coarsely. This may now stand for six
weeks, closely covered, when it Is
ready for the permanent jar, which
may be as pretty as your ingenuity
can devise or your means purchase.
Those with double covers are the best,
and very pretty ones in the blue and
white japanese ware, holding over q
quart, can he bought for o few shill'
ings.
Have ready one ounce each ofcloves,
all-spice, cinnamon, and mace, oil
ground (not fine); one ounce of orris
root, bruised and shredded; two ounces
of Lavender flowers, and small qtan'
tity of any other sweet scented dried
flowers or herbs. Mix together, and
put into the jar in alternate layers
with the rose stock, and few drops OF
oil of rose, geranium, or violet, and
pour over the whole one-quarter pint
of good cologne. This will last fol
years, though from time to time you
may add a little lavender or orange
flower water, or any nice perfume, and
some seasons a few fresh rose petals.
You will derive satisfaction from the
labor only to be estimated by the hap
py owner of similar jars.

TAKING OTHER PEOPLES ADVICE.
There is probably no more melan-
choly fact in human affairs than the
infrequency with which any individ-
ual mans experience is Of use to any
body else. If we profit by experience
at all, it seems to be mainly by the ex-
perience of the human race, or of our
particular ration, rather than by that
of any individual friend, or relative,
or preceptor. No matter how much
we may respect or admire Brown or
Jones, or even father or uncle, we gen.
orally take care not to follow his advice
in the management of our own lives'
Everybody who has had much expert
ence as counsellor knows well that
people usually seek advice in order to
get encouragement in pursuing a
course on which they have already de-
termined. In truth, it may be said
that most of us are constitutionally
incapable of doing we'll what other
people think best, unless we also our
selves think it best. To follow sue
cessfully a plan traced for US by some
body else, it has generally to be plan
which does not concern us except as
another mans agent or servant, and
has his satisfaction for its supreme OBJ
iect,

The Way 10 Danish Hard Times.



The Peopls believes that there can be no

But the results OF general agricultural pros
perity will be further farreaching than they
appear to be at the first glance, We believe
there is but one road to such prosperity.
There is room in it for all men. but so far only
Il minorityhave chosen to walk therein. But
we believe that the Alliance ard the aSsocla-
lions that its workings will make necessary
will do great deal towards bringing men
back to the first principle. that wherever the
income exceeds the outgo there are peace,
plenty and prosperity and that these bless
ings are 10 be found and abide nowhere
else.
that there is no money to be made at farm
ing, but there are many modest men among
us who have proven the contrary to be true.
They have INDUCED In no reckless hurry 10
get rich, but have lived according to the
wiser philosophy OF making haste slowly.
They have not handled as much money as
their more ambitious neighbors, neither have
they been handled by so many hungry cred,
itors. They have lived at home and boarded
at the same place, made their own supplies
and been practically Independent OF mer.
chants and money lenders. We know and
could mention many such men and we hope
to soon become acquainted with many more
who shall have caught the healthy contagion
OF their example.
But in looking forward to the time when
our farmers shall become self supporting, and
as Il necessary consequence prosperous, IT
appears to US that If such a consumation, so

My little Bo-Peep is fast asleep,
And her head on my heart Is lying,
gently rock, and the old hall clock
Strikes a knell Of the day that's dying;
But what care how the hours 60 by,
Whether swiftly :hey go or creeping?
Not an hour could be but dear to me
When my babe on my arm is sleeping.
Her little bare feet with dimples sweet.
From the folds Of her gown are peeping,
And each wee toe like daisy In blow,
I careSs as she lies asleeping
Her golden hair falls over the chair,
It's treasures of beauty unfolding.
I press my lips to the finger tips
That my hands are so tingtly holding.
Tick, took, tick, took; you may wait, oil

was foolish what was saying;
Let your seconds stay, your minutes play,
And your days go all a.Maying.

or content while my babe Is sleeping;
As smooth her hair my life looks fair,
But to-morrow-l may be weeping.

Obituary.

John Thomas Haddon was horn May 10th,
1907. and died February 18th, 1850 These dates
enclose the earthly life of a useful honest, and
consistent christian man. On his good name
no Slight was left as regret to his childi en-,
but that heritage of the righteous man which
is OF more worth than great riches.
Mr.. Haddon had for many years been a
member of the Presbyterian church of Little
Mountain in this county. For long time
he filled the Office of deacon in that church.
His interest in the church was not confined to
the local church or to the denomination to
which he belonged, but went out to the cause
of Christ everywhere. TO this universal
church he could truly say:
"For her my tears shall fall,
For her my prayers ascend,
To her my cares and trials be given,
Till trials and cares shall end"
A few years ago his aged and Invalid wife
was taken from him and her loss was indeed
a bereavement Although his son and family
ministered afectEnately to him. they could
not fill the place of one with whom he had
lived for more than iity years. In all this
time il is said he never spokean unkind word
to her, n record that Is truly y creditable and
which deserves more general imitation.
