THE HABIT OF SAVING.
How Postmaster General Gary Taught
1t TO His Children.

The postal savings bank system has
no more ardent advocate in the Unit
ed States than Postmaster General
Gary, who proposes to do all his can
during his administration to have
Congress authorize its establishment
as part of the postal system of the
United States. The advantages of the
postal bank system appeal strongly
to Mr.. Gary, as it is in line with
! practice he has pursued in his own
! family for forty years. 1t aims to en-
courage every may, woman and child
in the United States to lay aside what
ever surplus of money they may have
for the needs of the future, or to be
| the nucleus of permanent invest
ment. Forty years ago Mr.. Gary be-
gan Il plan for the encouragement of
his own children to lay aside part
of the money allowance he made them
and which he continued until they
grew to manhood and womanhood,
and then he adopted the same meth
cd with his grandchildren, which he
! pursues now. He told his children
that every dollar they could save and
! put in savings bank he would match
with four other dollars. 1t wasn't at
all long before he instilled lively in
terest on their part in their bank ac-
accounts. Now whenever his grand
children have a surplus of spending
money they seek their grandfather. \
dollar saved for them means five in
the bank. and it is understood that
they cannot touch this surplus until
they arrive at age. The result of this
system is that all the children have
good bank accounts and enjoy an in
come which is constantly growing and
which will amount to a modest com
potency when they become of age. The
children know the value of money.
and its power to work for them night
and day in earning interest. The
Postmaster General has found the eX-
pertinent to work so well in his own
family that he would like to have the
saving habit cultivated through the
postal savings banks in every home
of the land. He believes it would en-
courage thrift and good citizenship.

True, Every Word True!

1t seems that John L. Wilson has
really been indulging in some remarks
concerning Congressman Lewis, of a
very uncomplimentary character.
When the papers first reported what
he had said, we could not believe that
Wilson had so little sense to attack
the Colonel, and especially on his per-
sonal appearance. If John L. Wilson
could be made to realize just the esti-
nation that the people hold him in,
he would find that he is not consid-
cred the superior to Col. Lewis in
appearance, while on the question of
ability he is entirely outclassed. The
fact is that Wilson is jealous of Lewis
ability, and the future will find the
latter gradually climbing up the ladder
of fame when Wilson will be forgotten.
Wilson, as a matter of fact, never did
amount to anything, and it was one of
those abortive efforts that conventions
frequently indulge in added to his sup
erabundant cheek and gall that gave
him political start. We believe
that great majority of the Washing
ton voters to-day regret that they are
represented by him in the Senate.

Cultivating ten acres, eight miles
from the station, buy two tons of fer
tilizer for SO, says correspondent of
the Leesburg (Fla.) Commercial. This
quantity makes eight loads for one
horse, and six hours are required for a
trip. The time of myself and horse is
worth GO cents per load. I make 500
crates of vegetables, which require Il
trips to get them to the station, at a
cost of 1890. On hard roads l could
haul my SO worth of fertilizer in four
trips OF four hours each, at cost of
SLIGO. 1 could haul my 500 crates Of
vegetables in 35 trips of four hours
each, at a cost of $14. On the sand
roads one horse is required II days to
ship my crop, which is a longer time
than the shipping season; hence I am
compelled to keep two horses during
the year, or hire one from my neigh
bors at q busy time. The cost of keep
ing the second horse may be safely
estimated at $25. So much of my
time is used in my trips to town that
during three months of the year am
compelled to hire an extra hand, which
costs me about $45. The foregoing
items will suffice to show that bad
roads cost on my ten-acre crop $IO1.'
so, being tax of over $40 per acre.

Issa ben Miriam seeks the company
of publicans and sinners because he
has pity on them.
But the false prophet says: "Thrust
the sinners from you, that you may
not be defiled, repulse them utterly.
Maintain your dignity. Woe betide
him who has compassion on those
who have been once led into any sin!
Woe betide him who does not hold
aloOf, who docs not behave arrogantly.
He himself shall be numbered among
the outcasts."
Issa says: Behold the fowls of the
air, they SOW not, neither do they reap,
yet your Heavenly Father feedeth
them"
The false prophet, whom the Chris
tians love and whom they obey, says
" What are you doing, you sluggards,
you idlers! Go to work from morning
till evening. You must cheat and toll
to gather together as much as possible.
And the mole you have the more you
must try to get" Whoever has not

Yes, the Christians, it is true, call
themselves by Issa's name, but only
because their real prophet has no
good one which they could bear.
They celebrate the day of Issa's birth,
because they do not exactly know, or
will not confess, the origin of the
other, the false prophet. On the one
day, Christmas, on which the Christ
ians celebrate the birth of the good
oriental, Issa ben Miriam, everything
which the latter ever said and taught
usually SCENE to revive. The noisy
false prophet then keeps silent a few
hours, and Issa has his full power. But
how different everything is at once in
the villages, the cities, and through
out the whole land. Everything
seems changed, every one wants to
give and bestOw. People become kind,
gentle, loving to one another. The
poor are remembered and sought.
Many man feels an impulse to for
give, and goes so far as to speak kind
word to his foe. All this happens DUR
ing the few hours when Issa ben
Miriam is master in the land, speaks,
and is obeyed. What a people the
Christians would be if they did not have
the other, the false prophet! They
would then be almost as good as we
ourselves!

An Elk Horn Fence.

At Mammoth Hot Springs, in yell

of elk horns. It incloses the greater
part Of the grounds of Photographer
F. Jay Haynes studio. The fencs is
composed of over 800 selected elk
horns. All of them have IL points,
and great many have the royal IA
points. They were shed in March,
1895, and were gathered in June of the
same year by Mr.. Haynes and three Of
his men within radius of ten miles
of Mammoth Hot Springs and within
four days time. There are about g.
500 elk in the park now. Each pair
of horns would bring $3.50 at the rail-
road at Cinnabar, about eight miles
distant, or at least $40 pair in the
east or south.

HE WAS A BEAR.
The Man Who Did Not Speak to His
Companion at Table.

One was country friend who was
visiting the other girl, probably q
stenographer, as long streak of type.
writer ink ran across her hand. The
country girl was delighted with every.
thing she saw and made audible re.
marks about everything that caught
her fancy. Suddenly her eyes fell
upon two people at an adjoining table,
and, leaning forward, she whispered:
"Say, Nell, look over there"
Nell, turning her head, replied some
what haughtily:
"Well, Bess, what is it2"
"Do you see that man and woman?"
Bess turned, upsetting the catsup in
her eagerness.
"Yes."
"See how they are sitting there
without saying word to each other.
They are evidently husband and wife
amt they?" asked Bess, growing ex-
cited.
81 guess they are but what of it,"
"Why, it's just as it always is," was
Bess' whispered answer. GAS soon as
a mans married he ceases to care for
the woman he raved over before they
were united. Just look at that man."
Nell suggested that perhaps the man
might have talked himself out, but
Bess would uot admit that this was
the case.
~ should say not" she retorted
angrily. "Why, if some other man
would come in you'd see how quickly
he'd find something to say. It's all of
a piece with the actions of the sex,
don't you think so?"
Think what% Nell asked, mysti-
fed by Bess' denunciations.
"That men are horrid creatures,
anyway
"No, Bess, / can't say / do," Nell
returned warmly. 81 know too many
nice men to think that. You've been
reading some articles on women's
rights, suppose" and she laughed a
little sneeringly.
"Yes, have; but even if I hadn't,
I'd have eyes in my head. How
would you like your husband, if you
had one, to treat you that way?"
al wouldn't like him to act that
WE'LL" Nell returned, her cheeks flush
ing as she thought of one who was
destined to occupy that position,
"but then I'd try to make myself a
little more pleasant than that woman
is doing. She hasn't said q word
either"
~ wouldn't talk to such an old
bear!" was Bess' answer.
Neither of them had any idea how
loud they were talking, and 50 were
considerably annoyed when the man
in question said to them as he arose
and started for the door:
"The reason why didn't speak to
the lady at the same table with me
was because never saw her before in
NV life"
