The statement telegrapbed from Du-
buaue that the State Business Mems as
sociation, which recently met at Cedar
Rapids, decided To boycott the farmers
alliance II they continued their proposed
scheme OF cooperative stores l. strongly
denied by delegates to the recent con

little discussion OF the matter at the
meeting, and nothing transpired re
garding in any degree the boycott. A. S.
Burnell, secretary of the State Business
Mems association, authorizes a positive
denial OF the statements TO the effect that
the association has inaugnrated a war
against the farmers alliance. or that
any boycott Is contemplated. The only
reference made In the recent state con-
yention OF the association relative to the
farmers alliance, was in its favor.

How Savings Grow

This incident, told in st. Louis
Newspaper, shows how a small sum
deposited where it will draw mod
crate rate of interest, will accumulate
in the course of years. 1t ought to
convey a lesson to young persons
who think their savings are too small
to be worth investing.
Some years ago man entered the
Boatmen's Savings Bank on Second
Street, in st. Louis with somewhat
difiident air, and looked enquiringly
about him as one not quite positive
of his bearings. He scrutinized the
building closely, looked about the in
terror, and presently found his way
to the cashiers desk.
"There used to be bank here in
the old times" he said, "called the
BOatmen's Saving Institution. 1
suppose it is dead long ago; this
bank, of course has nothing to do
with it,"
at is the same bank" replied the
cashier, "only the name is a little
changed"
"Ah" exclaimed the stranger,
with surprise. "Well, when the
old institution started, was one of
the first depositors; but l put in only
500. l reckon, after so many ups
and downs, that it must have been
wiped out long ago"
"Who are you?" the cashier asked
land what is your name?'
my name is Jeffries."
"Thomas Jefferies?" cried the
cashier"
Eyes; they called me Tom,

ferries, these long years, and why
haven't you written u.s."
sin Californy and, of course,
thought the 500 was dead duck
and it's only your sign that called
me in now"
"Well, Mr.. JefIeries, if you have
been idle" said the cashier, taking
down and opening great folio
"your hundred dollars has not; here
it is. Your check on this bank to-
day is good for $3.50. You have
only got to get some one to prove
your identity and we will pay il

One of the best stories about typo
graphical errors is told by New
York newspaper man, who was at
the time proof-reader on the Dallas
Commercial. He lost his job through
the carelessness of the foreman in
marking two sets of "X" copy and
hanging it on the hook at the same
time. The mistake resulted in about
the funniest newspaper "bull" ever
heard of, by reason of the fact that
the separate takes of the different
copy fitted together without break,
Tom Ochiltree, the red-haired ex-
Congressman and famous disciple of
the science of hyperbole, made a
speech at The Opera House OH the
evening in question, and on the after
noon of the same day a mad dog had
been killed in the streets. Perhaps
fate recognized an affinity between
Ochiltree and a mad dog. At any
rate the first "take" of the mad dog
item got mixed, and this is the way

The subteranean rivers Of the
