THEY USE AMERICAN RIFLES.

army rife of the British troops is all
right for hunting men, but when the
English soldiers in India want to hunt
big game they go armed with Aneri-
can rifles, is the essence of a report
submitted by United States Consul
General William H. Michael. at Cal

Mr. Michael indicates that there is
large market in India not only for
American-made arms, but also for
American ammunition. He complains
that thus far the American manufac-
turer has shipped his goods through
London agents, thus delaying the
goods in transit. and increasing their
price. He explains that, contrary to
prevalent belief. there is no reason for
such procedure. as the consignors in

operations upon the children given

likely to prevent a criminal career.

GIVES BABIES BANK ACCOUNTS.
Maine Man starts One for Every
Child Born in His Town.

The financial world has surely not
hitherto had much startling news TO
chrcnicle Of Thomas Dinsmore, OF Pal
ermO. Kennebec county, Maine, says
the American Banker. That gentle
man has not surprised the commu-
nifty into throes OF admiration by the
establishment Of hero funds nor the
found alton of any libraries. He has
not been identified with any huge cor
poratiOn engaged in cornering the
earth. for the earth's good. no doubt,
nor has he purchased highly priced
works Of art and presented them TO
an ungrateful country that insists
upon his paying duty on the gifts.
But in a way Mr.. Dinsmore seems
10 have cOrnered all the praise and
gratitude in his locality and he GER
tainly has monopoly in his parucu-
lar industry.
Al present he is engaged busily in
presenting new bankbooks showing a
five dollar depoeiI to each new baby
which arrives in his community. 1t
will be seen at once that this is not
only excellent for the banks and fine
tor the babies, but it will in all like
lhood prevent any appreciable tend
ency toward race suicide.
Some time ago Mr.. Dinsmore be-
gan the practice OF presenting every
school graduate with a new handbook
and one dollar. The good work Of this
gentleman is necessarily limited, but
he has sounded the depths of the coun-
try's need. Not by railing against
capital and capitalists nor preaching
equality and the equal distribution Of
property win the evil OF huge
money concentration be remedied By
teaching foresight and judicious saw
ing to the children and inculcating a
spirit of desire of possession In the
beginning of their education he will
do more toward increasing the aver
age wealth of the people than any
other project yet put forth.
Massachusetts, a fairly conservative
state, calculates that its people save
on an average 33 cents a week
each. The absurdity of such figure
in the face of the extremely high rate
Of wages is patent to every sensible
person. 1t is high time that the cit
izens Of the country began to realize
that more economy, thrift and indus
try on their part would change the
conditions which they consider a dan
ger to the nation. Careful consldera-
tion Of the subject will show that
these qualities are what made the
other mans fortune for the most part.
Therefore, of vital use to the mental,
moral and financial condition of the
coming generation is the good work
Mr. Dinsmore is doing in Maine among
children. Teach them that handbook
is sign of respectability. Decrease
the tendency to squander the whole
of the income on Injuries without re-
gard to future needs and possible
wants, and the socialistic as well as
the monetary conditions of the coun-
try will show an immediate improve
ment.

II is easier to do the work when the

than up and down stairs with the nee

strongest argument for a two-story

the same roof will provide for two
