Savings Banks in Mexico.

Savings banks are practically un,
known institutions in this city. If a
man has a small amount to deposit.
with the expectation of being able to
add to 1t from time to time, he will
be at loss to find a bank that will
be willing to take care of his appar-
emily insignificant sums and pay him
interest on the money that Is thus
gradually deposited.
AS a matter of fact, there are only
about two places in the entire city
that will show any interest in his
small savings. one of these being a
little bank for working people, which
was organized a couple of years ago.
and the other place being the Monte
de la Piedad, which receives deposits
of any amount and pays six per cent.
interest per annum on them. The
little savings bank has had a hard
struggle to maintain itself. 1t is q
noticeable fact, however, that the
bank IN question has few Mexican
working people as depositors. most
of its patrons being Spaniards who
are working for wages as grocery
clerks and bookkeepers.- Mexican
Herald.

Travellers.

The popular notion that the con.

lean travel receives a rude shock
from heartless figures published by
an official of the Chemin de Fer du

ways, beyond all people, been the
fondest of travel. Some 25O,00O
travellers leave America in year for
all Europe. Let us hide our dimin-
ished heads. One million two hun
dred thousand Englishry go annually
to the Continent.

A tiny space four by six feet. In
it were four objects, stool to sit
upon when washing oneself before
getting into the bath, a shining brass
wash basin, a wooden pail and dip
per, in which to fetch the bath water,
and the tub. The tub, like most
private baths, was round, casket
shaped and made of white wood. 1t
was perhaps thirty inches in diameter
and twenty-seven inches high. A
copper funnel or tube passing
trough the bottom went up inside
close to the edge. This. filled with
lighted charcoal, supplied heat for
the water. The pipe was higher
than the tub, so the water could not
leak inside. A few transverse bars
of wood fitted into grooves and
formed a protection so the bather
could kneel in the tub without COM
ing in contact with the hot pipe. The
walls of the room were of white
wood, with q pretty grain, the floor
of pine, laid with a slight slope and
grooved so the water might flow into
a gutter and through a bamboo pipe
to the yard. A moon shaped lattice
window high up let in air and light.
AS a provision for more ventilation
the two outside walls for a foot be-
low the ceiling were lattice of bam-
boo Stats.
AS my eye travelled from object 20
object l quickly sized up the cost.
For the tub eight yen, and it would
last indefinitely; two ven for the
brass basin; fifty yen for the pad
and dipper, and twenty-five sen for
the stool. Eleven yen would fit up
my bathroom, and l asked for moth
ing nicer.-From the Craftsman.

calm. He held out his right mana,
and she touched 1t lightly with hers.

between us. You thought me false,
and so married another MANI"
Eyes
you were deceived. I know you
will believe what I say An English
lady of rank did me the honor to
prefer me; and she 1t was who, learn
ing of my love for you, intercepted
our letters, wrote the cruel note of
renunciation which lou received, and
| showed me the notice of your mar
| riage. Seven weeks ago sh, died,
confessing all her duplicity, and that
day left China to seek you and tell
you the truth"
II am married."
"Yes, know It; but now 1t mat

we shall be washed from the rocks.
1t cannot be wrong now! Surely not!
Look in my eyes Geraldine, and tell
me that in all these years your heart
has been mine, as mine has been
yours!"
She looked In his eyes, and bowed
her head slowly, her face crimsoning
even there, with death so near her.
A sharp voice at her side brought
| her back to herself. She saw her
husband by the side of the rock, bal
ancing himself in frail boat, which
Il seemed every dash of the waves
would break in twain.
One glance at his pale, set face
showed Geraldine that he recognized
her old love. But Richmond gave no
| word of salutation. His injured arm
was bleeding fast, his strength was
ebbing; his head fell on his breast,
and but for the frenzied hand of Ger
aldine, he would have been swept
away by the tide, which now beat
over the rock.
Archibald Vane's voice was cool,
calm, and distinct.
81 saw you from the shore, Ger
| aldine," he said, "and came to the
rescue. My boat will hold but two.
You have never loved me, but have
J.
He reached over and lifted the
limp body into the boat. Then he
put Geraldine beside him, and gave
her the oars.
"You can steer" he said. You
will be saved--you and he! l will
save our little Annie If it lies in mans
power. II not, Heavens will be
done!"
He leaned over and kissed the
white hand his wife stretched out to
toward him in wild entreaty.
The boat shot away on the tide;
| the words she uttered were all un-
| heard by Archibald Vane, as, clasp
| ing his child to his breast, he dared
the fury of the waves!
They found him a mile further
down the coast, in the early morning,
a smile on his white face. and little
Annie lying against his heart. They
had died together.
Geraldine's boat reached the shore,
and both she and Thane Richmond
were saved.
1t was weeks before she knew of
aught passing around her, for the
shock of Annies death had been too
much for her.
When she remembered 1t all, per-
haps she was nearer to loving Archi-
bald Vane than she had ever been be-
fore.
Richmond went away, and was
gone two years. He owed that much
to the memory of the man who had
saved his life in preference to his
| own.
And when he came back, could the
world blame Thane and Geraldine IL
they made each others life happy?-

We leaned upon the rustic rail
To watch the rivulets below
Scatter their bubbles in the trail
OF the pale moonlight's silver glow.

To me a kiss from paradise
A candy heart, golden tress.

The silken curl with soft caress.

SAN FRANCISCO, Nov. S.-The
present year is record breaker in
the raisin business In California So
declares the president of a Fresno
Packing company According to this
authority fifty per cent of the esti-
mated output of Valencia and Malaga
raisins that compete with the Califor-
MIA product was ruined. Practically
all the Canadian demand was there
fore turned over to California.
A great raisln crop, 1t is said was
expected in California. The grapes
grew, but mysteriously, they lacked
In sugar. This caused them to shrink.
There Is great shortage in the
weight of the expected home supply.
One unexpected happning has followed
another and now the large dealers in
raisins who do business In this city
declare that the crop is oversold and
that all transactions have come alb
solutely to standstill.
One Of the large raisia dealers here
says that the California raisin crop
Is from 10000 to $4,000 tons short of
early expectations.

SEATTLE, Nov. 3.-The state cam
paign practically closed tonight. al
though several political meetings are

dications are that the entire Repub-

good majority. The Republicans
will have a majority In the legisla-
ture, although II IL probable that the
Democrats will have more strength In
the next legislature than the last,
when the Republican majority on
Joint ballot was nine. The election
OF Humphrey, Jones and Cushman to
congress Is conceded. There Is very
little interest taken In the election,
except in few counties where local
issues are involved. There Is no
governor or state officers to be elect
ed, which accounts for the apparent
apathy on the part of voters.

Hearsts support to win.
Here, in New York, the red fire will
not cease to burn until dawn Of Tues
day, when the white heat Of battle
will take its place. Perhaps the most
notable feature Of the campaign In
all its ramifications has been to the
extent In which the personality OF
President Roosevelt has been brought
forward. Support the President"
was the battle cry Of the Republicans
in every congressional district. we
can support him better than you"
was the defiant answer of some of the
leaders. President Roosevelt has
made 1t known that he wants a Re-

cabinet officers have taken the stump
to further this desire. The President
will vote at Oyster Bay Tuesday. He
will reach the White House in the
evening and receive returns.

NEW YORK. Nov. 3.--Today prae-
tcaily closed the most extraordinary
campaign for governor In the political
history OF the state. although both
candidates will continue Hpecchmak-
Ing until Monday night. II has been
n campaign OF personalities rather
than policies: OF men instead Of meas
ures, and II has stirred the greatest
interest among the voters OF the En-
pirc State 10 It's utmost boundary.
For vigor and vituperation II has
been without precedent and for per-
aistency Of appeals 10 the voters by
the two candidates II stands alone,
The close Of the campaign finds the
political situation unprecedented In
this state and some Of the shrewdest
politicians admit that the usual
sources OF political prognostications
are all but worthless. Hearst claims
tho undivided support OF all the Ia
Dor unions and the Independence
League. He asserts that the Repub-
iIcan machine and ring in the up
state counties is 80 broken down as
10 make impossible the huge Repub-
llcan majorities heretofore given and
which has come down to the Bronx
and wiped out the tremendous Demo-
cratic majoritics OF Greater New
York. Hughes and Republican cam
pnigu managers admit detection In
the Republican ranks, especially
among the iaboring element, but as
sert that II will be more than offset
by the promised support Of the "Old
Line Democrats" Murphy claims that
Hearst will carry Greater New York
by from eighty to one hundred thou
sand. The Republicans say they are
elated over this prediction, for they
claim that Hughes will come to the
Bronx with two hundred thousand |
votes to spare.
