PELTS AS CURRENCY.

Probably few people know that the
original name Of the state Of Tennessee
was Franklin, or that in 1888 the salaries
of the officers of this commonwealth were
paid in pelts, but the following is a cor
rect copy of the law:
BE it enacted by the general assembly
of the state Of Franklin, and it is hereby
eracted, by authority Of the same, that
from and after the LIST day Of January,
1888, the salaries of this commonwealth
be as follows, tOwit
His exceliency, the governor, per an
skins
The secretary to his excellency the
governor 500 raccoon skins.
County clerk, 300 beaver skins.
CLERK Of the house of commons. 200
Members Of the assembly, per diem,
raccoon skins.
Justices fee for serving a warrant,
mink skin"
AT that time the state of Franklin ex-
tended to the east bank OF the Missis-
that great unknown forest region of Lou
isiana. 1t was then a terra incognita, f"
save few canoe landings and Italian
trading posts on the river banks. 1t was
known as the district of Louisiana, and
in 1905 was made the territory of Louis
lana.
The state of Franklin, which became
Tennessee in 1886, was almost as little
known. The now great city. Of Memphis
was a mere trading post, and was not
laid out as a village until 1920.
PeltS We're as plentiful in those days
for purposes of currency and barter. Tho
pioneers were perhaps as happy and as
well contented as is the average citizen
now.-Arkansas Gazette.

THEY POOL THEIR SAVINGS.


Within the past few weeks there has
been organized at the Twenty-thIrd
street branch of the Young Mems Chris
uan association q Poor Mems club
ject is to pool their savings and invest
the total in a manner which viii in
sure them larger returns than if each
acted singly. The members of the cIub
are young men who work for small sal
aries, who have brains and some bust
ness experience, but little money. and
not satisfied with putting what they have
IN savings bank, have thus united and
formed a working capital. through which
they hope to he able to earn good per
cent on their investments.
The club was formed at the suggestion
Of Waldo II. Sherman. who. in his capa-
city as educational director, has many
young men come to him and ask advice
as to the Investment Of their savings.
One day rot long since he was talking
with one of these young men, who said

this question of the small would-be in

several years ago, who dubbed their
brains and money and are today wealthy
men.
why don't you" he said, find some
fellows in the same position as yourself
and unite your experience and capital?
Get fellows who have good business con-
nections, who know how to turn over
money if they had something to start
on. Meet every little while and discuss
the disposal of your funds-in real estate,
real estate mortgages, or what not-and 1
think you'll succeed E
This was the founding of the Poor
Mems club Its organization is still too
recent to judge of its success. THAT. cf
course, will depend on the thousand and
one circumstances which contribute to
the success or failure of any business
The formation of the club, however. is
significant. 1t tells the story of the thou
sands OF small investors III New York
city who are seeking to place their money
in a more profitable place than the saw
ings bank. Many of these are young
men employed as clerks at a salary of
from SO to $25 a. week.
These young men have in view the gain
ing of a small competence, possibly the
rearing of families. In order to do TINS
they feel that their savings must be we'll
invested, and thus insure themselves
against old age, sickness, accident and
loss of position
There are,' said Mr. Sherman the
other day, more young menEsin this city
than one would think who wrestle night
and day with the problem of how to get
on. The majority of them are ambitious

from the country, who have come here
to seek fortune. They haven't any il
luS1onS about the easiness with which
money can be earned. They have. in
some measure, graduated from the Uni
Nersity of Hardknocks. They realize that
ability counts above all else; that to have
any hope of success they must take con-
slant risks in which lie danger and prob
ability of failure"
Mr. Sherman says ne knows men in
New York city S garrets of the finest in
teiectual power, of artistic makeup. who
haven't the faculty of combining brains
and money, who lack the business in
stlnct, who don't know how to value
themselves. For them the city is pow
erty- STRICKEN hole. They are the prey,
in fashion, of these who have the bust
ness instinct
MI sherman says that in his daily con-
tact with these ambitious young men he
mas seen many rise to places of large
gam. In 1897 one came to him and said
that ne was getting about $40 a week as
a clerk IN a down-tow commission Office
put intended to quit, as he had no hope
TO rise. He advised him to ask his en-
ployers for a different sort of work

work. and today he is earning $500 a
year; This is but one of the many e1-
amples which make Mr.. Sherman hopeful
for the young man of brains and small
means.-New York Times

The famous Prof w o. Atwater. ex-
pert on food, has prepared a pamphlet
for the agricultural department in which
he says that the American people eat
more than is good for them He says
they injure their health and deplete their
pecketbook by buying and eating too
costly foods. He says:
The costlier kinds of food are used
Nnen the less expensive are just as nu-
rrltlous ana can be made nearly or quite
as ptlatable Secondly, the diet is apt
to be one-sided. in that foods are used
which furnish relatively too much of the
fuel ingredients and too little of the flesh
quantities of food are used; part of the
excess is eaten and often to the detri-
ment of health; part is thrown away in
the table and kitchen wastes. Finally,
serious errors in cooking are committed.
For the well-to-do the worst injury
is to the health; but people of small in
comes suffer the additional disadvantage
of injury TO the purse. Indeed, to one
who looks into the matter, it is surpris-
ing to see how much people of limited
incomes, lose in these ways. 1t IS the
poor mans money that is most inju-
diciously spent in the market, and the
poor mans food that is most badly
cooked at home.
"A common mistake in purchasing food
is buying the more expensive kinds when
the cheaper ones would serve the purpose
just as well. This is often done under
the impression that there is some pecu
liar virtue in the costlier materials and
that economy in the diet is detrimental
to dignity and welfare. Unfortunately
it is too often the case that those who
are most extravagant in this respect are
the ones who can least afford it, On
the other hand there is frequently de-
sire to economic, but a lack of knowl-
edge CT the best method of doing so.

WASHINGTON, March Ex-senator
Marcus Aurelius Hanna is not an avow-
ed candidate for the presidency 1t
would not be good politics to ayow him
self at this stage of preliminaries But the
senator from Ohio is in training There
can be no reasonable doubt as to that.
And Senator Hanna has some quiet but
earnest supporters in the senate and
house of representatives. Senator Hanna
believes, and his friends encourage the
belief, that he has to a great extent, lived
DOWN the prejudice aroused against him
IN the campaign of 1896. Senator Han
ia has become the champion of organized
labor. He took an active part in the big
conference called by the National Civic
Federation, to arrange for a plan of ar
duration to settle strikes. He is an
earnest and Jealous advocate of harmony
between capital and labor, and if the time
ever comes for him to stand before the
country as a candidate for the presiden-
tial nomination, he will be able to put up
a pretty good case. For one thing-and
1T is his pet boast-he has never had any
strike troubles with the men who have
worked for him, and he has for thirty
years been an employer of labor.
Senator Hannas candidacy is predi-
Gated on the assumption that Roosevelt
will not give a satisfactory administra-
ton during this term. 1t is assumed by
HannaS supporters that the great finan-
cial interests of the country will conclude
that Roosevelt is too radical. In this
event they will be looking for a man
more ike Mckinley, and Hanna, as the
manager, discoverer and friend of Nc
hinley, will be proclaimed as his natural
successor Hanna has furnished the
financial support of the last two national
campaigns. He is the man who can go
to the financial interests and get con-
tributions. He has the confidence of the
business world. If he fails to lend this
support to Roosevelt the latter may be
somewhat handicapped

general is still hanging on the tree Ma

ford to risk the displeasure of Senator
Fairbanks by accepting 1t. The senior
senator from Indiana would have regard
ed it as an act of disloyalty to himself
if New had yielded to Roosevelts tempta-
tons. 1t would have been equivalent to

HAD MET BEFORE.

While he was in England Mark Twain
says his head was once taxed as gas
works. He wrote Queen Victoria friendIy
letter of protest saying: II don't know
you, but I've met your son. He was at
the head of procession on the Strand
and [ was on a bus. Years afterward
he met the Prince of Wales, now King
Edward VII. at Homburg. They had a
long walk and talk together. When bid,
ding him goodbye the prince said: Il
am glad to have met you again" This
remark troubled Twain who feared that
he had been mistaken for some one else
He communicated this suspicion to the
prince, who replied: "Why don't you
remember when you met me on the
Strand, and | was at the head of a pro-
cession and YOU were on a bus?''-Chi-
