Postal SAVINGS Bank.

A postal savings depository, such
as has been advocated for wears, is
provided for in a bill introduced in
Congress by Representative Lorimer
of Chicago, through which it i S pro-
posed to have the system inaugurated
in all Of the money offices in
this country 1t may be news to
some that in one part Of the United
States the system has been operated
for years, just as in another part Of
the United States the government
telegraph exists. Hawaii had the
postal savings depository long before
it was annexed to this country What
will in the end become Of it unless the
system is generally introduced, no
one ventures to say. It is the same
with the government telegraph in
Porto Rico, which the monopoly is
very anxious to absorb, The Lori
mer bill provides that any one may
deposit money with the national gov
eminent in sums from 81 to $500 an
nually, and that the government will
pay interest on individual deposits
mp to $1,000. Married women may
keep accounts in their own names,
and 50 may minors above the age o.
twelve years. Deposits are free from
all taxes, and cannot be attached fol
debt They can be withdrawn at any
time in whole or in part through any
postoilice doing a money-order and
savings business The money thu:
deposited will be absolutely SAFE a.
the credit of the government is
pledged for it The bill should be
acted upon at the earliest possible
moment.

Discouraged" People.

Many a strong man who has met
with accident or misfortune has given
up the struggle and allowed the bur-
den of making a living to fall upon
his wife. Said a biz lusty fellow:
If hadn' taken down sick and about
lost my crop of corn last year would
now be in lots better circumstances
than am. When they saw my crop
was failure they closed in on me and
took all had. No, amt doing any
thing now. I'd like to get'a good job
somewhere, but it seems like they
don't come my way His wife was
then taking in washing to provide
food for the family, while he felt too
much discouraged" to even make
garden.
We can find these discouraged
people in every town and village.
Some slight misfortune or accident
has so discouraged" them that they
have turned the matter OF making a
living over to their wives while they
loaf about town and prattle politics
and peddle gossip.
Contrast the aimless, worthless
lives of these discouraged" able-Q
bodied loafers with that of the man
who wrote me the following letter.
II am a one-armed man, sixty-seven
years old, and the last eight years |
have cultivated about one acre of
garden. As soon us the land ls@
cleared of truck in the fall | begin
wheeling on manure with wheel
barrow. | put on five hundred to
eight hundred wheelbarrow loads and
then spade it in. If the grass seed in
the manure springs up | spade the
ground over again, and again in the
spring. My main tools for cultiyat-
ing the crops are hand eultivator
and an iron rake, and | never allow a
single weed to go to seed When |
began cultiyating this land it was all
ridges and burrows and filled with
weed seeds. 1t took me two years to
level and clean out the weeds. Now
it is rs level as a floor and not weed
in il. :
The writer of the above is an old
man and has only one arm, and the
left one at that, yet he has bravely
risen above his misfortunes and is
still to be found among the foremost
Of the worlds workers Instead Of
weakly giving up the struggle, like
the discouraged" loafers | have
spoken Of, and fittering away the
golden hours OF life in idle prattle and
mischief making, he manfully sets
himself to making 4 living, and in so
doing winning the priceless boon Of
health, and the sound, restful slumber
of the honest toiler. Such an exam
pie Of spirited energy and persever-
ence is enough to shame the bic, lub-
berly, able-bodied loafers who have
weakly and cowardly given up the
struggle because "luck" seemed to be@
against them clean out Of sight cof
men. Fred Grundy, in Farm and
FirpSidp.

Advancement Approved.

It Will be good news to the Modern
WooGmen Of this city and vicinity TO
to know that the Illinois and Niscon-
sin insurance departments, which
have had a force Of examiners at work
ut the Head Office IN Rock Island, ILL.,,
for the past two months, have found
the books and funds of the Society alb
solately correct and intact, tallying
to cent. In tkeir reports, which
were recently submitted, they COM
piimented the officers upon the abili-
ty displayed, not only in handling the
society," vast business, but in secur-
ing new members in sufficient num-
Der to rther reduce the average ace
Of the total membership during the
past year.
Supt Jas. II. b Van Cleaye, of the
Illinois department., however, takes
occasion to express doubt as to the
ability of any management, however
able, to long maintain this percentage
Of growth. lie says "a correspon-
ding rate Of increase for the next five
years would give your (the Woodman)

members. It seems almost incred-
ible that any such increase can be ac-
complishtd.
The percentage Of gain in member
ship made by the Modern Woodmen
has been: In 1897. 26 per cent: in
in 1898, % per cent, and in 1899. 81
20 per cent. These figures are phe-
nomenal. No other society or com
pany has ever even approximate such
percentages OF growth.

The Mountain Folk OF Kentucky.

In The Land Of Fueds, the Inter
national, Walden Fawcett gives
some interesting gIimpses into the
life Of those untamed men of Kentuc-
Ky, whose feuds and general lawless-
ness have made them notorious.
Speaking Of their character he safs.
"lmproyidence is a colossal fault
Of these people. A mountaineer will
frequently burn at night his last stick
Of wood, knowing fuH well that he
will have to 90 out and kick the axe
loose from the frozen ground before
he can get material for fire in the
morning. \ man who had acquired
some property in the mountains told
me that he hal found excellent drink
ing water by sinking a well twenty
one feet. His predecessor who had
occupied the farm for seventeen years
had been content during all that time
to use the water Of a stagnant creek
that wound through the valley. OBJ
structing one Of the mountain roads
is a rock on which more than forty
wagons have been wrecked, and vet
an hours work would remove it.
Perhaps the best evidence Of the nom
progressiyeness OF the people is afford
ed, however, by the mail service be-
tween Manchester and London, the
nearest railroad station. The mail
carrier arrives at London Just half an
hour after the train has passed each
morning, and thus each days mail
must wait for Just twenty-four hours
but it never seems to have occurred
to any resident Of Clay county to
suggest that the carrier start on his
trip just thirty minutes earlier"

Ancient Record Book.

City Clerk Newell has in the big
vault in his office a little leather
bound book which, though it has been
in use since 1903, has not yet been
filled with entries, says the Spring
field Mass Republican. This small
book of record, having only about
fifty pages, is the volume provided
by John Holyoke, town clerk of
Springfield in the early days of tha
eighteenth century, for the recording
of lost property or animals, as provid-
ed by law. That few people have
an understanding OF this particular
law relative to lost articles or stray
animals is demonstrated by the fact
that IN nearly 200 years but few such
records have been made. The statute
requires that when any lost article or
ANIMAL to the value Of $3 is found the
finder shall within two days post
notice in at least two places, and also
give notice in writing to the city
clerk within seven days and pay fee
of 20 cents for recording the same.
If the goods or animal is valued at
SO or more the finder is also required
to advertise it within a month or to
have it publicly cried if there is a
crier in the city or town.
The lost and found" book was
opened Dee Is, 1903, John Holyoke
making the first entry of strayed
animal. From that time entries
were made at long intervals, and for
1870 years they all relate to straye4
horses, cattle or hogs. In many
cases the animals are described partic-
ularly with regard to different brands,
and the "Springlield brand is referr
ed to. In 1919 COW that died on
the common is described, it being
thought the owner might desire to
secure the hide For ten or fifteen
years at Intervals the book was never
used Since 1900 there have been
few entries, but there are less relat-
ing to strayed animals and more as
to finding money and yaluables. In
1862 the finding of 4 bundle contain
ing feather bed and some pillows is
recorded, and in 1879 diamond and
ruby pin. About ten years ago the
street railway had a fit of recording
articles found in cars, but it was car
ried on for only short time. The
last entry was made IN 1895. If peo-
Pile strictly adhered TO the letter of
the law City Clerk Newell would have
to establish a special department and
run a double entry set Of books to ac
comodate the honest finders of prop
erty. Chicago Record.
