The New way Of Getting q Homo.

Everybody wants home of their own,
at least everybody who has not got one,
and the Co operative News very wisely
remarks that "a tres is known by It's
fruits and that the building and loan
aapling must be judged in the same way
Money lenders have been common
ever since money was invented. Savings
banks and societies have also come
down from ancient times. But 1t was
not until the building and loan societies
were introduced that home getting on
its present scale of magnitude became
possible. Many thousands have tried
the plan of securing homes thro ugh the
private money lender, but as rule the
lender instead Of the borrower got the
home. These borrowers were always
strong In their determins'io in TO save
their earnings and make their payments
OF interest from time to time and the
principal when due But other needs
were sure to eat up the small savings
before they could be applied to the pay
ment Of the debt.
The average man and woman needs
something more than their own inelina-
tion to enable them to save. They must
have the moral support Of others, land
some compelling and restraining in
fuence that comes from outside Of
themselves.
Out Of this need finally sprang up the
cooperative building aud savings socie-
ties that are to day such grand factor
In our civilization Under the mutual
co operative plan of these organizations,
the members are per force compelled to
make regular weekly or monthly savings
from their earnings. All these small
sums plsced In 3 common fund make an
aggregate which renders It possible for
the members to borrow from one another
instead Of from the private money lender.
Thus the workingman Is set free from
the capitalist, aud placed upon footing
of independence.
The Building and Loan Association sx-
iats because other plans proved In
sufficient to enable the masses Of the
people to save their money aud establish
homes Of their own. Saving under this
system becomes a matter OF business and
Of honor. The members come into the
association meetings moved by q common
purpose. Often more than one member
Of the same family come In to see that
the dues are paid and promptly entered
up. Here is a mutual interest and sym
pathy at work that gives life and force
TO this plan OF co operation
Without this kindly compulsion, this
regularity ofhabit, thislmutusl sympathy
and interest, this friendly aid which one
member extends to another the building
society would lose Its power rs home
provIder But with this mutual help
the impossible becomes possible. The
Building and Loan Association not only
furnishes the money TO build a home, but
furnishes the power to pay it oh
Already uuder this young tree with Its
mighty growth are seen It's fruits in
more than half million homes which II
has produced.

NEW York, Dec. 2s. s.-Oflicials Of tho
New York Central and Hudson River rail
rond report that the present storm Is the
worst experienced since the great blizzard.
A popularity Of the existing blockade is
found In the fact that while east bound
trains in the central part Of the state be-
tween Buffalo and Albany are from seven
to fourteen hours late, there Is no trouble
worth speaking Of on the division between
Albany and New York. Rochester and
Syracuse have been the chief storm cen
ters during the past "a hours, and these
two cities are said by local railroad Off
cials TO be headquarters for prevailing
troubles.
At the train dispatcher's Office at tho
Grand Central depot q reporter was in

SEA ISLE CITY, n. J., Dec 2s.-Tbe
three mastol schooner Rodman NiclScrson
went ashore about ha'f mile south Of
the Stone Harbor life saving station on
the New Jersey coast One Of the crew
was drowned Those who were afterward
rescued suffered terribly. The men spent
the night in Che force storm lashed to the
rigging and were almost exhausted when
taken Off by the life savers
Tho Nickerson, stone laden was bound
out from New York. Captain Anthony
Sprague was in command The gale
caught her well out to sea, and the rolling
and pitching caused her 20 start her cargo
and within two hours after the storm
broke the schooner was milking water
Captsin Spraguo headed the schooner
for tho shore, and his only hope was to
beach her
AT o'clock IN the morning ia the very
height OF the storm the vessel struck. She
was we'll ia shore, but owing to tho blind
tell lust where they were until their craft
grounded The shock caused by striking
the hard sand split the seams more than
ever and within a few minutes after she
felt ground the schooner sank until her
masts alone showed above water.
Captain Sprague had ordered every man
into tho rigging and was the last to as
cend. He had not finished lashing him
self before the deck was under water and
the keel resting on the bottom.
Dropped Frozen Into the Sea.
The cook had been at work In the gall
ley. keeping hot coffee for the men, and
whom the schooner struck he was obliged
60 ascend the rigging in the clothing he
wore in the hot galley. He was soon over
come, and when he let go with his hands
his body slipped from the rope, and he fell
into the water
Half an hour before sunrise the wreck
was sighted by the life savers from
Fathom Beach and Stone Harbor stations.
Both crews rallied with their full appa-
ratus, but could do nothing. The wind
was blowing so that tho mortar would not
throw tho line TO the schooner and the
| fierce surf rendered the launching Of the
lifeboats impossible
Noon came with little change in the sit
uation The life savers and the volunteers
were helpless on tho beach, and the sail
ors were even moIe helpless in their lofty
perches. BY O'Clock tho wind had shift.
cd somewhat and abated little More
attempts were made 60 send the line from
the mortar to the rigging but it was not
until eight attempts had been made that
the proieotile shot over and carried the
limo down ON the far side.
Seven men in all were taken ashore
| One or two Of them were insensible from
| cold and exposure when they were gotter
