HIS WATERLOO.
| How the Officer of the Day Trfumphed
Over Private Murphy.

How the Officer of the Day Triumphed
Over Private Murphy.
In the days when this country had
a. frontier every army post had to be
in constant state of readiness, for
there was no telling when troops
might be called out to suppress an
Indian uprising or to rid the road
of desperate highwaymen. Disci-
pline, the Brooklyn Eagle says, was
never relaxed, although the manner
in which it was preserved sometimes
savored of comedy.
Captain Troxell of the Seven
tenth infantry, an Irishman and a
strict disciplinarian, had considera-
BILE trouble with certain members OF
his company who, being Hihernians
from different counties, were dis
posed to quarrel overmuch among
themselves.
Once when Captain Troxell was
officer of the day the sergeant OF the
guard, a strapping Irishmsn, who
himself disapproved these frequent
fights as being subversive q disci-
pine and disgraceful to the eompa-
ny, approached the captain with the
customary salute and said:
"GHcer of the day, sir, | have the
honor to report that Private MUIR
ply, Of your company, prisoner IN
the roat guardhouse, struck at me
with pickax handle"
Captain Troxell returned the sa-
lutte and merely said, "All right."
A few minutes later the sergeant
of the guard presented himself again
and after saluting said:
"Cficer of the day, sir, have the
honor to report that Private Muir
phy, a prisoner in the post guard
house, struck at me again with a
pickax handle
Once more the captain returned
the salute and said, Cali right"
The sergeant of the guard stood
at attention a moment, then defer
entially said: !. !,
aBut, sir, officer of the day, is i
all right for a prisoner in the posi-
guardhouse to strike at the sergeant
Of the guard with pickax handle
eIt is,0 answered the captaia, II
the sergeant of the guard is foo
enough to let him."
Ten minutes later the sergeant re
turned and saluted. :.
"Ofscer of the day, sir" he sale
in his gravest voice, Il have the hon
or to report that Private Murphy O
your company, . prisoner in the pos
! guardhouse, desires to 60 to the nos
nital on sick report, sir.

Cost of Producing Milk

Since 1896 an account has been
kept of the cost of producing milk at
the New Jersey Agricultural Exper-
iment Station. The daily cost of total
food per COW varied from 11.6 cents
in 1896 to 1888 cents in 1901. The
daily cost for fine feed varied from
4.99 cents in 1896 to 1852 cents in
1901. The cost of roughage varied
from 5.23 cents in 1896 to 6. 81 in 1901.
The cost of production per quart va
ried from 2.56 cents in 1896 to 2.49
cents in 1901, and the average annu-
al yield per COW was 6528 pounds.
The study of the records OF individ-
ual COWS also showed that but little
profit can be derived from COW that
does not produce 5000 pounds of
milk per year, particularly if the
product is sold at the low price of
one cent per pound; no stronger ar
gument is needed in favor of the ne
cessity of testing the animals, and
thus learning their exact value, than
is afforded by these records. Fur
thurmore, the facts brought out by
the records indicate that there is but
little profit from COW that does not
produce 200 pounds of butter per
year, and point to the necessity of a
careful selection of COWS for the but
ter dairy.

Saving
Money

We wish to call your atten-
ton to the desirability of saving
money. John D. Rockefeller
tells us that anyone can make
money;few can safe it."The man
who is saving money Is build
ing character; he is acquiring
power. It is the man with char
acter and money who is able to
take advantage of Opportunity
when she knocks at his door.
It is the fixed habit of saving
something, no matter how small,
that counts. Persistent saving
creates habit of life that is
fruitful in results. It is Russell
Sage's advice to young men to
save twenty-five cetns out of
every dollar earned-and stick
to it. But if you can't save
twenty-five cents save ten or
five; save something anyway.
The best way to save is to
start bank account. Money in
your pocket is easily spent, but
money in the bank is out of
easy reach.
Did you ever think about the
power of interest? Do you
know that 81 deposited each
month will amount to S64.72 in
five years and to Sl39.SO in ten
years at per cent? That So de-
posted each month will amount
to S324.Sl in five years and to
5000. So in ten years? Think it
over, rernembe ring meanwhile
that THE SAN JUAN COUNTY
BANK is well equipped to care
for it's large business; that it has
established a Banking by Mail
department, which it places at
your service, and that it receives
deposits from 81 up. 1t aims to
encourage thrift, to promote the
saving "habit.". It would be
pleased to open an account with
you and to help you save.
An attractive little booklet,
Banking by Mall" will be
mailed upon request if you
mention this paper.

Love reigns throughout the land.
Forgive, forget, truce to pride;
Healed are all friendships riffs.
