oLD-FAsHIoNED SAVINGS BANKS
Where the Hoards of Our Grandmothers
Used to be Kept.

Nhere the HoardS OF Our GrandmOthers
Used to be Kept.
The stocking bank of our grandmother
is not yet obsolete in the country dis
tricts, and the daily papers give frequent
accounts of its insecurity. Safes are not
burglar-proof, either, and the occasional
bank robberies and failures, too, keep
alive the fondness of women for search
ing for queer hiding places for their saw
ings Some of the old time 'banks"
showed considerable ingenuity il their
construction of covering
An old lady living in New Hamp-
shire town had n set of large stationary
drawers, topped by cupboards, built into
one of her huge closets. The lower draw
or, instead of resting OH the lower floor,
ran on grooves perhaps two inches above
it. She would pull out this lower draw
err, place her jewel cases in the space left
below, and then push in the drawer,
which she kept filed with linen.
Equally shrewd was an Ohio woman,
who, whenever she went out, put her
money and jewelry in the coal SHUTTLE,
covering them up carefully with several
a rather risky experiment in the winter
months, when the fire had to be fed, but
their owner felt that no burglar would
ever think of looking there.
A favorite hiding place for money, es-
pecially for bills of large denominations,
has always been the big family Bible and
the unabridged dictionary. This is still
common in rural places. So is the prac-
tice of sticking money snugly away under
the corner of carpet, particularly under
some large piece of furniture. This is a
method that has much to commend it,
Tea caddies and sugar bowls make ex-
eellent temporary safes. Another hiding
place is the old-fashioned country clock,
which is almost historic as spot for
tucking little bundle of valuables.
1t is safe to say that the number of
women who put away jewelry in pocket
books under mattress for safe keeping,
afterwards carefully smoothing the bed
down, can be numbered by the thousands.
The pocket of an old dress that hangs
in an unconcealed way in closet is re.
garded by many women as one of the
safest places imaginable for spare rings,
brooches and bracelets, and even for n
pocket hook. Old shoes, standing in
their proper place beside new ones, are
likewise much esteemed, for great deal
can be put down in their toes without
giving the slightest evidence Of the value
therein.-Boston Traveller.

HUsTINGs COURT.
The Grand Jury Had II Busy Day Yester-
day and Adjourned.

In the hustings court yesterday the
grand jury returned indictments rs fol-
lows: Bob Bracket and Will White,
larceny; Joe Lowry, larceny and bur
Clary; Loula Coreller, assault with i'll
tent to kill; Fred Steinbrecher, burglary,
three counts; E. G. Watts, perjury.
The grand jury filed the following re-
port and adjourned:
We the grand jurors of the city OF
Roanoke, now in session, do recommend
that commemorative attorney set on
foot such prosecution as NAV be needful
for the police of this city to put n stop
to all violations of the lottery laws.
(Signed:) A. G. Chewning, foreman;
w. A. Gibbons, G. A. Moomaw, T. o.
Bickers, Thomas Engleby, L. j. Rowan
and D. S. Meadows.
The grand jury also recommended
that the court take some action to prose-
cute young Jamison and Witt; that from
their own statements they were the
worst young criminals that had ever
been in this city. Owing to the fact that
the commonwealth could not make a case
out against Steinbrecher, without the
evidences of these two witnesses, no in
dictmentS were found against them, as
there was no evidence of their own
depredations except their own state
ments.
The Stenbrecher trial is set for trial
on next Monday, and the case against E.
c. Watts for the 21st instant
In the case against Watts, charged with
criminal assault on Amanda Pate, the
grand jury failed to return an indict-
ment. A capias was issued for Watts
in the perjury case and he came in and
gave bond in the sum of 81, $50, with r.

COERCION In CHICAGO.

Senator Jones, Choiman of the
Democratic National Committee, is-
sued statement last month giving
instances of the intimidation OF the
workingmen in Chicago by the rail
road, man ufacturing and other Dig
corporations. In some cases the cor
porations have taken ballots, the
workmen beng compelled to cast
their ballots in boxes designated Nc,
Knley, BryaI or Palmer. and in plain
view OF the foremen or other subordi-
nate officials Of the corporation, the
result being that very few men dared
to express their real sentiments.
Senator Jones gives the following
instances where the ballots were talk
en- in this way: fa'. .-......'.! >,
SAT the Crane Manufacturing com.
pany of this city the men were forced
to cast ballots Of red and white, the
red ballots being in favor of -McKm-
ley and the white for Bryan, and these
they were compelled to cast in plain
view of the officials of the company.
The result, of course, was an over
whelming majority for Mckinley,
when. as a matter of fact, three
fourths of the men will vote for Bry-
an.
cat the Illinois Steel works in
South Chicago, three ballot Loxes
were used for voting purposes label
ed. respectively. Mckinley Bryan.
and Palmer The men were afraid
to cast ballots in the Bryan boxes and
naturally deposited them in the box
labeled Mckinley =. - .
"The result Of the ballotIng, how.
ever, was astonishing. Out Of 2,7OO
votes cast, 1920 Of them were for
Bryan and the remaining 500 were
for Mckinley and Palmer, the Bryan
ballots being deposited in the Nc
Kinley box, the officials we're unable
to spot the men. 1t is unneces-
slry to say that this vote was never
given to the public. 1t is known,

ain one of Armour & Co.'S shops at
the stock yards, a similar vote result
ed as follows: 625 for Bryan and lbs for
Mckinley. This vote was also sup
pressed. Wherever the men havo had
a fair chance TO express their views,
the result has been an overwhelming
majority for Bryan. and it is Only
where outrageous methods have been
pursued, as in the case at the Crane
Manufacturing company, that the men
recorded their votes for Mckinley.
The facts are that nine -tenths of the
organized labor vote OF Chicago and
other large cities Throughout the
country is undoubtedly fer Bryan
and free eilver, and will be 30 cast
in November, under the protection Of
the Australian ballot, and all the
Vaccinations and devices of the gold
bug conspirators cannot prevent the
result"
