Bismarck and the Stock Market.

A pamphlet has recently appeared in
Germany entitled Bismarck and
Bleichroeder." Its author is a mem
Der of the old Junker party, of the name
of Diebat-Daher, and 1T processes to
give some curious details In regard TO
the present fortune of the ex-Chancel-
lor, and how it was acquired After
the German war of 1870, the Prince
received from the country two estates
of no great value, which, coupled with
his own paternal estate, brought him
in fair revenue. He then left Bleich-
roeder to look after his private none
tary affairs, with the result that he
now has a fortune amounting to 150,-
000.000 marks. This, the author con-
tends. can only have been made by
Stock Exchange speculations, based on
the knowledge that the Prince derived
from his position at the head of the
German Government, and which he
confided to Bleichroeder That, with
the cares of Empire on his shoulders.
he left his monetary affairs in the hands
of his banker is very possible, and
equally possible is it that his banker
did the best for his client. But should
require a good deal more evidence
leye that the Prince speculated ON

brew fnancier, or that his fortune is

WARNING FOR THE TEACHER.
A Fond Mother Viewed the Ae-
Guaintance With Suspicion.

The course Of the teacher in some
rural schools is not unmarked by pit
falls. One young lady thus engaged
tells an amusing story of the anxiety
her conduct unwittingly caused the
mother of one Of her pupils. The pupil
in question was an overgrown and stu
pid, but well behaved boy of nineteen,
named Tobias Hodge. He was older by
several years and far bigger than any
other pupil in the school, but he was
not SO we'll advanced in his studies as
some of the younger ones. He seemed
SO anxious to learn that the teacher Of
ten got him to remain after school for
the purpose of assisting him in his
studies.
Their homeward way lay over the
same road, and they would walk home
together after the hard places in the
lessons had been made easy for Tobias
Often in the morning when she left
home to go to the schoolhouse the
teacher would find the boy waiting for
her and she tactfully gave him several
lessons in politeness, such as lifting his
hat TO her and other ladies. and assist
ing her over bad places in the road.
She was beginning to feel that she
might really make something out of
Tobias, when her efforts on his behalf
received sudden check by the receipt
of the following not from his widow
ed mother:
"Maddum: l just want to say that I

Postal Savings Banks.

It will be remembered that one of
John Wanamaker's pet schemes during
his term of service as Postmaster
General was the establishment OF sys-
tenn of postal savings banks in this
country. Mr.. Wapamaker devoted a
good deal of time to investigating the
practical results of this system in 9TH
er countries, and became thoroughly
convinced that its introduction into the
United States would be beneficial to
hundreds of thousands of working peo-
pie.
But somehow the idea did not take
hold in those days. Now, however,
in favor Of the system, it begins to look
as if Postmaster-G General Gary viii see
the establishment of such a system in
this country during his term of office.
The postal savings banks system, as
operated so successfully in Canada,
England, France, Russia, Hungary and
even Japan, is designed not to interfere
with or to take the place of the va
rious savings banks now established,
but to foster among those classes who
can save by pennies only a provident
habit. There has been a disposition in
this country to look with contempt
upon very small savings; so that those
wage -earners who could save but a few
cents at time really saved nothing
at all.
1t seems to be the purpose of the
advocates of the system to make 1T
possible for the man, woman or child
who can save a few cents at a time
to go to the postmaster and open an
account with the Government, with the
assurance that the Government will
absolutely guarantee the deposits, pay
ing a small rate of interest-less than
that paid by the savings banks. This
it is thought, will encourage the saving
of coppers by those who can save
nothing more. AS soon as the deposit
of any one depositor amounts to $500
or 81 600 he will be expected to re-
move it before he can open aother ac-
count.
This plan would seem to be rather
an advantage to the savings banks
than a disadvantage, by making the
postal savings bank a sort of feeder
to those regular savings banks which
handle larger savings. The latter are
seldom called upon to receive deposits
of a few cents only. The postal saw
ings banks, then. by encouraging de-
posits of this character, would be in
ducing the poor to save what would
otherwise be entirely wasted, thus
teaching this class of persons in the
United States much-needed lesson. 1t
is a well-copceded fact that in no
country in the world is there as much
improvidence among the poor as there
is here in the United States. If the
postal savings banks would have a
tendency to foster provident habits

A MIDNIGHT TRAGEDY.
He Dislodged the Burglars With a
Well Aimed Shot.

1t was midnight, and a dreary rain
was falling. The West End citizen had
observed before retiring that it would
be a good night to sleep. and he was
snoring like a side-tracked Pullman
sleeper. when his wife shook him and
whispered:
"Burglars!"
He was on his feet in an instant-a
pistol in each hand, ready for business.
Where are they?" he asked, in a
quavering voice.
I'm the parlor," whispered his wife.
"They are stealing the piano, and /
paid the July installment on it yester-
dayl Listen!"
Sure enough, the piano was emit
ting the most doleful sounds-deep
farewell notes. with an occasional
shrill scream of anguish.
The citizen, accompanied by the ar
mory before mentioned, moved cauti-
ously toward the parlor.
Burglars, without doubt, for the
sounds ceased as he approached.
who's there?" he shouted.
No answer.
Speak, or I'll shot!"
Dead silence.
Bangi Bang! Bang! went the gun.
There was a crash, as of broken
glass. And then the citizen seemed to
receive a blow on the cheek, from which
the blood trickled
He grappled with a flying object
then released his hold, while monster
cat, of the gray and wandering species,
darted through broken pane of glass
and vanished in the darkness.
Then he struck a light and tried TO
quiet his quivering wife.
Have you killed them?" she gasped.
It have wounded one of them, l am
sure" he replied.
And then, the parlor having capltu-
lated, he took possession and looked
around him.
He had punctured two oil paintings,
broken three art glass windows,
wounded the piano in the left lung, and
shot his wife's former husband-who
was reclining against the wall in crayon
through the right eye.
He was master of the situation, but
his wife, seeing the blood trickling
from his forehead, screamed:
You are wounded! You are bleed

replied. And then he told six excited
