Scotch Wealth.

Probably in no other country in the
world are banking facilities SO ex-
tensive as they are in Scotland. In
every town, large or small, there is
branch of one or more of the great city
banks, and even every village with the
least pretension to size can boast of
one. While in England there is bank
or branch bank to about every TO- 900 OF
the population, in Scotland there is one
to about every 1000. 1t is obvious that
this extensive system of branches is
well calculated to gather to one center
the savings of the community. The
banks are not proud, and they accept
Mt interest deposits of sums as small as
Els and allow current accounts to be
opened sometimes with trifiing balances
which in England. as a rule, would be

more than $500 to their credit on de-

aggregate banking deposits of COM

Cl0se Dealing In Mama.

A woman sold pig to butcher the

some butchers that to cut off pigs

meat The pigs little tail was cut off.
But the woman was on the watch. She
picked up the tail and gave IT to the
butcher to be weighed. saying: Il want
pay for the whole of him" But the
butcher got even with her. The reek-

because of the addition of the tail. She

James Wade, you'd orter be looked

The amazed parson fairly gasped for
an instant, but he had been ruled all
his life by womankind, SO he meekly
murmured: "Yes'm'

The widow drew sigh of relief as
she ended, to think that now the mat

his spectacles, and said tearfully: God
bless you"
A little later, as they sat before the
blazing fireplace, the parson faltered
out: ''But what will the girls say?'
"Say?" responded the widow briskly.
"Why, lots O. things. Never saw ZEN
when they didn't. But we won't tell
'em till it's all over with, and then let
'em talk!"
And so they were married. It was
wonderful to see how soon Parson
Wade got accustomed to his fine broad
cloth and his life of ease. Then, too,
he never realized that the affectionate,
almost obsequious manner with which
his daughters now treated him was due
to the change in his fortunes. The
simple old man really believed that of

that his daughters had returned to
their old, childish fondness for him.

tempted to remind him she forebore,
though she insisted always that her
money should not be spent on the
girls
So wealth of cheer and comfort
came into the lonely. sad old life. and
Parson Wade seems likely to end his
days almost UNCONSCIOUS that he was
otherwise than happy. For, every day,
the memory of the old sorrow grows
fainter, and he drinks the sweet cup OF
oblivion.-Springfeld tMass.) Repub-

But there was no response from the
motionless figure by his side. 1t was
growing dusk, but the Pickering fire
light showed him the outlines of the old
mans gaunt frame, the droop Of the
bowed head and the trem bling
wrinkled hand upon which it rested.
There was something in Parson
Wade's attitude that distur bed the chair
mans self-complacency, and he shift
ed uneasily from one position to anoth-
er, and wished heartily that his words
had remained unsaid.
''Blest if 1 dreamed the old man
would feel so cut up about it." he said
to himself ''As Mis- Prentice said,
he'd orter expect it He's he'd his day."
1t had seemed a simple thing. Old
Parson Wade had become old-fashioned
and rusty, and outgrown, too, by the
people of the busting little factory viii
lage. What was to be done, then, but
to throw him one side. like any dingy
old garment, and replace him with
new minister of later pattern and more
popular style? But, for some reason,
it is an easier matter to discard an old
coat than an old pastor; at least SO
thought Chairman Hicks, as he glanced
uneasily at his companion, while sew
eral minutes slowly licked themselves
away.
At last the stiffness became unsup-
portable. He started up and fell to
poking the fire with nervous, energetic
strokes, which seemed likely to put out
the flames. His action, however, served
to arouse Parson Wade, who rose me-
chemically, reached for his shabby
beaver hat, and with low Good

''You won't hold no grudge, par

But the parson suffered his nerveless
fingers to rest for an instant in the
strong grasp of the chairman, then
opened the door and went out
He tottered down the steps, and FUN

he could open it.
The day was ending in dreary rain
"a chilly November rain that made
people turn up their coat collars with

road. Fitful gusts played with the
thin locks that struggled over his col

Parson Wade seemed to heed neither
wind nor rain, but. with head bowed
low, staggered on in the hiding

The news of his dismissal had come

LIFE ON THE PRAIRiEs.


Il Is Hardly an Ideal Existence Is Hero
Described.
If there be any region in the world
where the natural gregarious instinct
of mankind should assert itself, that
region is our northwestern prairies,
where short, hot summer is followed
by long cold winter. and where there
is little in the aspect OF nature to fur
nish food for thought On every hand
the treeless plain stretches away to the
horizon line. In summer it is check
cred with grain fields or carpeted with
grass and flowers. and it is inspiring in
its color and vastness: but one mile OF
1t is almost exactly like another, save
where some water course nurtures a
fringe OF willows ana cottonwoods
When the snow covers the ground the
prospect is bleak and dispiriting No
brooks oa bile under icy armor There
is no bird life after the geese and ducks
have passed on their way south The
silence of death rests on the landsca De,
save when it is swept by cruel winds
that search out every chinl1 and Granny
OF the buildings and drive through
each unguarded aperture the dry pow
derry snow. In such region you would
expect the dwellings to DE OF substan-
tial construction, but they are not.
The new settler is too poor to build of
brick or stone. He hauls a few
loads OF lumber from the nearest rail
way station and puts up frail
little house of two. three or four rooms
that looks as though the prairie winds
would blow it away. Were it not for
the invention of tarred building paper,
the fiimsy walls would not keep out
the wind and snow. With this paper
the walls are sheatned under the
weather-boards. The barn is often a
nondescript affair of sod walls and
straw roof. Lumber is much too dear
to be used for dooryard fences, and
there is no inclosure about the house
A barbed wire fence surrounds the
barnyard. Rarely are there any trees,
for on the prairie trees grow very
slowly and must be nursed with care
to get start. There is a saying that
you must first get the Indian out of the
soil before a tree will grow at all;
which means that some savage quality
must be taken from the ground by Gull
tivation.
In this cramped abode, from the win
dows of which there is nothing more
cheerful in sight than the distant
houses of other settlers, just as ugly
and lonely, and stacks of straw and
unthrashed grain. the farmers family
must live. In the summer there is a
school for the children, one, two or
three miles away, but in winter the
distance across the snow-covered plains
is too great for them to travel in severe
weather: the schoolhouse is closed and
there is nothing for them to do but to
house themselves and long for SPRING

A little smile stole over the vrinlSled

off he started, with something akin to

All through the meal. at which the

little widow watched him narrowly

that And the parson forgot his sor-
rows, forgot his shabbiness; yes, forgot
his daughters even, and laughed his
weak, quaverins lau.,h which no one
had heard for years, as he told long
anecdotes of by-gone days.
The widow, it seems, had observed
the old man for many months, with
mingled pity and Indignation, and had
come to a somewhat startling deter
mination in her funny, whimsical
fashion. To be sure she had been be-
set by a doubt or two. mainly in connec-

hesitate long when she saw her duty
