GOING THE ENTIRE LIMIT.

Massachusett. Banker Gives Cham
 pion Sample of Yankee Thrift.
 The proyerbial Yankee thrift shows up big in story now going the rounds reminiscent of Western Massachu- setts banker who died during the past year. He believed In the maxim, "A penny saved is penny earned" with vengeance. His clerks were denied the luxury of pads of paper and were required to figure on the backs of old envelopes that had been carefully pre- pared by the office boy in his leisure moments The banker had son-in-law who builded wisely by inviting his father-in-law to spend few weeks with him at the seashore. The close listed banker decided to unloosen to 1 the extent of having the daily newspa- pers that the bank had subscribed for sent to him after the quotations had been inspected. He left explicit instruc- tions that the advertising pages were to be cut out and the edges trimmed so as to save postage.
 The papers, which were sent every other day, were too heavy for the 1-cent limit, though considerably inside the weight allowable for ? cents. It was A matter of facetious comment In the bank that the "old man" was not get ting full value for his 2-cent expendi- ture for postage. The margin in favor of Uncle Sam, however, diminished appreciably after the third installment of literature had been forwarded, the cashier receiving postal card that bore the following request:

While the organization will natur- ally attract public atten ion to the achievements Of little men in war, ln science, in literature and in the in dustrial arts, it is not the primary purpose of the club to accentuate the ascendancy of little men in history, but rather to institute scientific re- search into the biological why's and wherefores" of the undersiZed man. That Nature has shown no partiality to the man of large stature in the mat ter of mental endowment there Is abundant proof in the history of the human race. Indeed, Nature appears to have taken pains in many instances minuitive stature with exceptional brain power and capacity. The annals of human achievement show that big ness of body does not always imply bigness of brain. Even in those de- partments of endeavor that call for physical prowess and courage, notably in discovery and in military achieve ment, the race has not always been to the men of large stature. The great est military commander in history Napoleon-was little man. In liter ature, oratory, invention and art, the little men certainly vastly outnumber the big men who have attained distinc- tion in these departments of activity. But these are matters of such common knowledge that no one undertakes to challenge them. It is in the depart ments of physical and historic study of man as an animal that the young men of Yale have a most inviting field for research in their efforts to trace nat ural causes for the very marked varia- ton In his stature.

world have increased the hard work for the engine crews. Mogul engines make greater strain on the engineer. Their firing is much more laborious task for the fireman. Business has in creased more rapidly than the equip ment of the roads. There is scarcity of men to do the work. All these con ditions add to the hardshps of the freight engineer.
 A fireman relates that his engineer frequently has gone to sleep on his seat from exhaustion while the train was running at thirty miles an hour. and that he has awakened him in time to make the stops at stations. He says that he has left his engineer sleeping in station while he ran the train back for water for which the man had forgotten to stop.
 A railroad man says: After a man has been under the strain for thirty hours his eyes may remain open, but he doesn't realize what he is doing, sometimes make mistakes under those circumstances. They may lay the wrecks to fogs and bad weather and dozen other causes. but 1 am con vinced that two-thirds of the wrecks which occur are caused by men who from want of sleep are unfit to work"

One agency of transportation which does not appear in the columns of sta tistics at its full value is the snow. For a considerable portion of each year, in the central and northern parts of this country, and particularly in the Mis- sissippi valley and the regions east, the earth's covering of snow solves "the good roads problem" Sleighs them- selves make Roman highway wher- ever they travel. The friction of their runners on the glassy surface is so slight that the heaviest loads, once started, can be easily drawn. The diff
 ference in the matters of speed and the exertion required between skating and walking is a familiar fact. This use of the snow, wherever 1t regularly covers the ground, Is of large value. Lumbermen wait for snow before get ting out their logs, because sleds can be used to advantage at places in the forests where no wagon could go. Farmers save their heavy winter haul ing for the sleighing. In some places chain of lakes, when the frost seals their surfaces, will afford an avenue of transportation of surpassing attrac- tiveness. Over still water the northern winter is a universal bridge builder, cutting off miles in many journey. It is notable that although the horse and the OK are adjusted to wheel or run ner, according to circumstances, cer- tain modern methods of land transpor- tation require the wheel. The locomo- tive, the automobile. the electric car and the bicycle do not know what hard sledding" is. Their hardest l wheeling comes when nature is laying down the material for some good sled ding. In the old horse car' days 1t was not unknown for the lines in the smaller inland cities to attach their power to great double-runner sleighs, for the conveyance of passengers, dur ing the season. rather than attempt to keep their tracks open. Electricity has put an end to this practice. And yet what monarch of the modern world would not exchange the most sumptu- ous of palace cars for the much pie tured sledge of Peter the Great. were he to consider only enjoyment in an exhilarating winter ride:

day in the week, but for the man who controls the locomotive and for the man who keeps up its fires there Is no rest. Long hours of nerve-wearlng work are theirs-hours which some times add up to eighteen, twenty and even more of continuous labor. From the man on the "chain gang to the man who has q "banker's run there is hardly one in the business whose average days work is not of the kind which in the end wears down the en- durance. Add to this average days work an extra run and the results are apt to become serious To the over working of engineers and firemen is laid the responsibility of many rail- road disasters. A man has been in the cab for twenty hours. His eyes almost refuse to see. He feels, as one engineer expressed it. like putting toothpicks under the lids to keep them open" He runs past signal his sleepy eyes did not catch, and wreck results.
 Railroad managers affirm that no en- pineer or fireman is sent out on the road without requisite sleep. They declare that it is against the wish of the company when man assumes the responsibility for train unless he is fitted for 1t, as a man without rest could not be. The rules of the broth erhood make 1t obligatory for the com panies to allow their men time for

In our efforts toward the prevention of crime we have to large extent gone at the business at the wrong end and it is exceedingly gratifying to see some attention paid to the work of car ing for children neglected and exposed to criminal influences and an intelli- gent effort made to guard them from becoming criminals, and not only in this way reducing the criminal popu- lation and the development of crime, thus adding to the honest and useful population, to the amount of honest and useful effort and the greater safe ty of society.

HONEST AND TRUE MONEY.
Uncle Sam Deals Ont Thousands of
 Dollars in New York City.

Uncle Sam Deals Ont Thousands of
 Dollars in New York City.
 Beneath stout bars guarding wide arched window in the United States assay office, in Wall street, New York. thousands of dollars worth of little gold bricks, the honest and true kind, pass every day from Uncle Sans cof- fers to the hands of jewellers and bank CTS. And all that Uncle Sam charges for the exchange is cents on $loO for the small ones.
 The bars Uncle Sam dispenses are of two general sizes. the 5000 size for bankers and the $50 size for jewellers, the small size being about an inch and a quarter long. three-quarters wide, and perhaps half an inch or less In thickness. Very often they run up to S2O0 or even more in value. Their size adapts them to the size of the jewellers s crucible As for the banker, he does not melt his gold; he contents himself with shipping it back and forth across the ocean. A remarkable feature of the exchange of legal tender for gold bars Is that one cannot always get just the amount he wishes. If jeweler or banker wishes S10,000 in gold bullion Uncle Sam gives him as near that amount as he possibly can. It may be S9,91O.5O or S10,OO0.30 because the bars vary in size and weight, and practical ly all of them have odd cents in their value. Two bars the cashier handed out one day recently were stamped $531.70 and $123.1O
 In buying gold bars the purchaser first tells the cashier at the assay of flee how much he wishes. The cashier comes as near this amount as he can with the bars on hand. and then the purchaser goes next door to the sub treasury, where he deposits his legal tender, gold certificates, greenbacks or gold coin for the amount designated by the assay office cashier as the nearest to the desired amount, receiving there for a certificate which, upon presenta- ton at the assay office, insures the de. livery of the bars. But before they may be taken away the recipient must sign for them in the register, which lies open beneath the bars of the wide arched window

Loss of Sleep Is Said to Cause Many
 Railroad Accidents.

The country has been repeatedly shocked of late by reports of railroad horrors. The disasters are ascribed now to defective signals, again to carelessness on the part of the man who runs the train or the fellow who more or less plausible theories are brought forward. The public accepts most of the explanations given by the companies, but experienced railroad men shake their heads and say that the real cause is overwork. Seven days in the week and many hours each day the railway man must toll. Trades men, artisans workers in nearly every other field lay aside their labors one
