New York City. In the greatest
closest and most exciting yacht race
in the history Of the Americas Cup
contests the American defender, Col
umbia, defeated Sir Thomas Lipton's
challenger, Shamrock II. On actual
time she won by thlrty-seven seconds;
with her time allowance Of forty-three
seconds added she won by one minute
and twenty seconds.
In the fifteen mile beat to windward
the Shamrock led the home yacht at
the outer mark by thirty-nine seconds.
Once around the turn, however, the
white Herreshoff flyer surely and
steadily made amends for this. She
caught the Shamrock. passed her and
crossed the finish line far enough in
advance to enable her admirers to say
that, boat for boat, she won without
her time allowance.

ones neighbors in building public in
stitutions for savings.
Hoarding is selfish, niggardly in
stinct. 1t does not foster business con-
fidence. public spirit or the domestic
virtues like a savings bank.
There is not the object lesson of &C
cumulating interest, or the stimulus
of friendly competition.
The average man finds it easier to
spend and easier to lose the surplus
funds carried about his person or kept
in easy reach. 1t is not quite so easy
to keep up the savings habit with
plenty of money on hand. There are
found in every community faint heart
ed people who live from hand to mouth
and discourage others from saving, on
the plea that they or a friend once
honestly started out to save-and lost
quite a sum through official misman-
agement or fraud. But is there a sue
cessful business man who has been
without equally trying experience of
loss through another's fault? When
the easiest thing in the world seemed
to be to fold the hands and fail? Only
they would not give up-took fresh
start and finally made a success of it.
small boy was given two pennies,
one for candy and the other for mis-
sions. He put them together in his
pocket. At night one of them was
gone. He had lost it. He cried out
at once: "Oh mother, 1 have lost
the missionary penny" What bit of
human nature it was that reminded
him in an instant which penny was
missing. There is a man in Lincoln
who ten years ago lost a hundred dol
lars of his savings. Ever since he has
squandered more than a hundred dol
lars a year on things he would be bet
ter without-and he has not saved a
cent; but all he is conscious Of having
lost is that first hundred dollars
All of which proves the duty of TAX
ing good care of money not your own,
and also the duty of taking care of
money your own for the future needs
of yourself and family. 1t is the easiest
thing in the world to cheat yourself.
There was a boy in one of our city
schools who studied the motto on the
wall Earn all you can: save all you
can: give all you can" He did not see
how he could do all these at once. so he
compromised by saving the nickel his
mother had given him for Sunday
school and putting in a penny which
he had earned himself. When the
American Savings bank was opened
he was one of its first depositOrs and
he has stuck to it with the prospect of
soon having fifty dollare to his credit.

to save can be depended on to put

God helps them that help them
selves"
Benjamin Franklin.
Today we are all fixing the habit of
spending or saving. The spending
habit promises momentary pleasure
and assures future regrets. The saw
ing habit assures present comfort and
promises future prosperity. With
steady practice one habit becomes as
easy and natural as the other. The
size OF the income has little to do with
the saving habit. One who cannot save
something out Of his present earnings
will not as a rule do any better when
his income increases. The boy who be-
gins an early training in saving his
pennies soon acquires a knack of earn
ing and laying by money which swells
to large amounts in later years.
The clerk who regularly saves a dol
lar a week will in a few years have a
fund sufficient to start him in business
of his own. If he saves nothing now
he will probably always be a hired
man." and is certain to fall into hard
lines il he happens to lose his job.
The merchant or professional man
who outside of his regular bank ac-
count keeps a separate savings deposit
into which he drops the extra odds and
ends or special receipts will be sur
prised what a satisfactory balance it
grows to be.
In too many families one is supposed
to earn all the money-while the main
concern of the rest seems to be to do
their share of spending it. 1t is
slow process for one to fill up the bar
rel at the spigot while several are
drawing out at the bung-hoIe. Every
good wife would choose to be consid-
cred a true helpmate to her husband
rather than the Irish version-a help
ate mate"
The solution of the problem of family
thrift is to start every member old and
young with a savings account of his
or her own. A thrifty housewife is
entitled to a generous allowance at her
own disposal put weekly or monthly
into savings account to meet certain
family expenses. She would be glad
to try to keep the outgoes a little be-
low the present mark, and see IL sne
could not put by a snug sum to help
herself or the children out of some
tight place in the future.
Some thrifty people have a way of
keeping all their earnings in their bust
ness. or in their wallets. or locked up
in some strong box. There are far
greater advantages in joining with
