0NE-CENT SAVINGS BANKS
A Recent Financial and PniIsln-
thropic Success.
New York Installations which Are K.ros-
Ing of Great Eeneht to Chill
drcn aud the Poorer
Glasses.

The penny provident fund. organized
by the charity organization about tsso
years ago. is proving "a great success.
says the New York sun 1t was TIE
design of the organization TO encourage
the saving of small sans among its pro-
teges by providing place OF deposit
for even so small an amount AS I, 3 and
8 cents, and stations were established
at the ten differcnt branch offices OF
the society for carrying out the plan.
So popular did the work become that
outside o~.-a nizations were allowed to
come in fro-i the churches. the missions,
the indgatlial schools. and the working
girls clubs, until there are now l2s sta
tions OF deposit, 1909 depositors, and
Sl0,4j4.cJ on deposit in the different
stations. There are no hired clerks in
these stations, the work all being done
by voluntary charity The depositors
are quite fairly divided between chill
dren and grown people, and, though 1t
is the desire of the society that all ac-
counts of SIS shall be transferred to the
savings banks, many poor people refuse
to take out their money.
The plan of the work resembles that
so long practiccd in England /. 3, 5, 10,
25, and so cent and 81 stamps are sold
to the depositors, pasted In the little
book given to each persen. and remain
the guarantee of the amount due until
it is needed and drawn out again. When
IS or $40 accumulates the depositors are
helped TO open an account in a savings
bank. and the United States and West
side savings banks have placed the
stamps on sale at one of their windows,
where sums of cent up win be received,
and as soon as 81 Is accumulated the de-
positor win receive regular passbook.
This work necessitates the addition of
only one clerk, and 1t is hoped that 9TH
er banks will take 1t up.
One poor woman succeeded in saving
about $50 in this way, and when her
husband deserted her short time ago
she was able to start lodgings with the
fund.
A little girl whose father Is very in
temperate meets him every payday be-
fore he reaches saloon, and coaxes all
the money she can from him. This she
divides among her little brothers ands
sisters, and all Is placed on deposit Not
long ago the father, through intemper-
ance, was discharged from his work,
and the money thus accumulated by the
children paid the rent until new sit
uation could be found.
Another little girl has managed to
save enough in pennies and nickels to
pay for having her fathers grave put in
order.
The working girls clubs are some of
the largest contributors, one club alone
having raised $500 in the last year.
Much of the money is drawn out at
Christmas and during the summer vaca-
tions, but the purpose of the society Is
only to save for some such need and not
simply to hoard up money in miserly

A Charitable Feline Adopts and Cares for
Homeless Rodent.
A laborer employed.in one of the mills
at Sutter Creek has In his house one of

which Is a mother of thrifty family Of
nvr rrrrcns, uur, IN spluc or Ine cures or

self to provide for rat that she has
taken under her protection.
During a storm about two months ago
a half-grown rat, lame and nearly
drowned, crawled into the house, evi-
IDENTIFY in search of food and shelter,
and by some chance made its way to
the place where the old cat lay snugly
on the heap of sacks with her family.
Strangely, the mother seemed touched
with pity over the condition of the wan
derer, and, instead of attacking him,
she coolly made room for him and did
everything to relieve his sufferings. The
rat displayed every sign OF gratitude,
and the miners family, when they dis
covered the intruder, were so struck
with surprise that they forbade anyone
to disturb them.
The result was that the rat chose to
remain with his new-found friends, and
has now become as docile as his foster
mother. A warm attachment seems to
have sprung up between the two, and
the rat has grown fat and lazy, wan

Her peculiar propensity was discovered
while she was yet a calf by the discov-

the habit Of frequenting the stall where
she was confined, and the blood

the startling fact that puss had actually
been eaten by her. Since then she has
been seen to catch mice and rats ven

while she has twice killed and eaten her
