A Predatory Fib
Copyright. 1908. by Daily Story Pub. Co.,
SARA ELIZABETH BURNHAM

THE Louisville 81 Nashville express,
consisting of a locomotive, one
passenger coach and an empty fatcar,
which was being pushed ahead to test
the roadbed, had stopped on the sub
merged track, waiting for fiatboat to
transfer its three passengers to an
other train in waiting somewhere
across the apparently interminable
waste of waters caused by the annual
overflow Of the Tennessee river.
The only woman on this train was
Mrs. Thomas AbercOmbie, a pretty
bride of three months standing, who
had been married at her home in
northern Wisconsin during illness and
was now on her way to ThOmasville,
Ga, to join the newly acquired hus-
band, who had preceded her by few
weeks
There existed an understanding be-
tween the two that in order to reduce
to its minimum the danger of her be-
ing slung over the shoulder and car
red off to the cave of some visionary
primal male she would avoid making
the acquaintance of any man whatso-
ever during the entire length of her

BRITAIN'S POSTAL BANKS.
Their Assets Are Less Than Their
Deposits, But No Uneasiness
Is Felt.

The fact is odd, says the New York
World. The post office savings banks
of Great Britain are technically insol-
vent Their deposits at the end of the
year were 500, 000, 900, their assets only
about S67O, 600, 900. Nobody worries
about a little thing like that; the gov
eminent is responsible. OF course the
discrepancy rose from the high prices
the department was forced to pay for
national bonds before the Boer war.
The lowering of the rate of interest
allowed is an obvious cure. The postal
banks were authorized in 1881 and near
" $10.O0O,O00 was deposited the first
year. Some later developments are
curious. BY the slip" system a sum
so small as two cents can be deposited.
Deposits can be withdrawn by tele-
graph. School savings banks are rec
nized, but are not very successful, ow-
ing to the superior attractions of
sweets as a medium of inves tment. A
feature of the postal banks is that,
through their agency, depositors can
buy small fractional portions of goE
eminent bonds.

NO LANGUAGE OF THEIR OWN.
Swiss Are the Only People Who Cam
not Boast Tongue That Is
Distinctive.

Among the peoples of the world the
Swiss are alone in having no language
they can call their own, says the Chica-
go Chronicle. According to a recent
visitor to the little country, about
three-fourths of the people of Switzer-
land speak German, while the remain
der divide four other languages among
them, mainly French and Italian, the
languages varying as rule according
to the proximity of the people to each
country whose tongue they speak. Pub
lie documents and notices are printed
I'm both French and German.
In the Swiss congress or national
parliament the members make their
sDeeches either in French or German,
for nearly all the members understand
both languages. The orders of the
president are translated by an official
interpreter and furnished to the news
papers in both languages. Probably
it would puzzle even Macaulay'
learned schoolboy tc name the presi.
dent of the Swiss republic. He is NJ
Adolf Deucher, name that will be
strange to many even of those who are
familiar with the names and titles OF
every other European ruler.

of the window into the water and was
promptly fished in again by the crook
on the end of the handsome umbrella
of very personable man, Mrs. Aber-
