TWAS CARNAII0N DAY
Those Who Remembered McKinlev's
Birthday Caused a Demand
IA for the Flower. -

To-day br1ght-hued carnations bios
somed In buttonholes usually neglected
and the man who is accustomed O wear
ing a flower selected his spicy pink with
special care and with a mental tribute Of
respect to the martyred president whose
fondness for the flower has helped to
make 1t pre- eminently. the choice for
mems adornment. The sentimental trib-
ute to the memory of President McKin-
ley on his birthday was quite general and
several of the flower shops reported
large demand for his favorite fragrant
flower. .. g.. .- ..'..,. ~ -
The real Mckinley carnation is
cerise, almost exactly the shade of the
famous mammoth Lawson, but clear, vivid
crimson is the favorite with the men and
they regard that near enough in color to
answer the purpose.
At one store the sales amounted to per-
haps 1000 blossomsa a large proportion of
which were sold sfngly to men, making
brisk trade The sales at other shops
on thoroughfares frequented by men were
also large.

HOME BUILDER And T..
+. MORTGAGE LITTER
AFTER BUILDING YOUR HOME IT
HELPS RAISE THE MORTGAGE.
PRACTICAL PLAN IF YOU BUILD
Proposed by the Minneapolis Savings and
a. Loan AssociatIon-No Long
Distance Loans.

The Minneapolis Savings and Loan As
ISOLATION, located in the Guaranty Loan
building, has just declared its regular
semiannual dividend of 5 per cent per an
mum. This association has never paid less
than S per cent dividends during the last
eighteen years. 1t has loaned in Hennepin
county nearly $4,000, 0OO and over 300 new
dwellings have been built in this city with
money borrowed from it. The panic Of
1893 and subsequent years had little effect
upon 1t, as it never failed to pay it's regu-
lar senniannual dividend, and although it
has been loaning money Oh real estate In
this city for eighteen years, it has no real
estate on hand - = -
: It's new method Of ,loaning money and
paying off mortgages is SO simple, and the
interest, which is at the current rate pre-
Nailing on gilt-edged security, is so rea-
sonable, and the whole plan so equitable
that it commends itself at once to those
who stop to investigate. Any part or all
of the loan. can be paid at any time with
out notice and interest stopped upon all
500 payments at the time of such pay
ments. All weekly or monthly payments
of less than 800 are deducted from the
loan on January and July 1 of each year,
and the next six months interest is
charged only on the balance of the loan
remaining unpaid. The only requirements
as to payment Of loan is that there shall
De PAID at least 81 every 1Our weeks on
each 500 of loan and the balance Of the
payments and time of making them is left
entirely to the borrower. There is no
commission charged for making the loans,
and interest commences only when the
money is actually paid out on the order Of
the borrower.
This new plan Of paying off mortgages
has become SO popular that the association
cannot supply the demand for loans to
build houses, Notwithstanding the in
creased deposits during the past six
months. -,...-
The association receives money from
! those who wish to deposit their savings in
large or small amounts, and the depositors
are secured by mortgages on homesteads
in Minneapolis. Each depositor has an
interest in and is secured by 700 mort
cages which have an actual value of over
100000 on homes in the city, and these
homes have a present cash value Of more
than $1,000,000. 49, - ". ,-''S''''' = i.
