WILLIE WAS NO ROSE.
Mother Sent Him 10 School TO be "Larni'
NOT "Smelf."

A lady teacher tells the follow.
lug incident which occurred soon
after she took charge of her
school in the fall.
There was boy pupil about G
years old tc whom water had ap.
parently not been applied for
many days. His face and hands
we're begrimed and his clothing
had evidently not been changed
for some weeks. In fact, the
lack of cleanliness in the child
caused the teacher to fear for It's
own health and that of It's as
sCclates.
One afternoon IN dismlsslng
the school she called the child to
her and said
"Wlllie, when you go home
please ask your mother to give
you thorough bath and to put
some clean clothes on you. Say
to her that In your present con.
dition you smell too bad TO attend
school. "
Willie was promptly on hand
the next morning, but his COLI
dltion had not been IN the least
altered. Going up TO the teach
er he handed her a note signed
by the mother, which read.
"To the Teacher: Willie aia't
no rose. We didn't seed HIM to
school to be smelt; we sent him
10 be "larnt."

HAVE YOU FRIENDS THEREp
An Appeal 10 Those Having Friends Bur.
led in the Graveyard at the TonolO.
way Baptist Church.

The undersigned me,nbcrs Of
the Com mlttee wish TO call the at
tention of those interested, TO the
fence enclosing the burying
ground at Tonoloway BApti
church. The old board fence has
for sometime, been 10 bad condi-
tion-down IN places, and needed
a lot of repairing or a new fence.
The Trustees by and with the
advice aud consent of the congre
gatlon, contracted with the Cor.
bett Fence Company, Hagers-
town, y d , for 34O feet of iron
and wire cemetery fencing, with
two gates, which fencing has been
erected along the road IN front of
the Church, at a cost OF $3.50.
The fence seems TO be substan.
tial and go d j b. We have ar
ranged for a less expensive fence
on the east, south, and west side
of the graveyard, and are en-
larging the enclosure.
This burying ground has been
IL use long tlme-more than a
century-and has been used by
all who wished to bury there, and
Is still so used. We need the
money to pay for the fence.
1t all interested will contribute
according to their means, the
money can be raised without be-
ing burdensome to any body. No
one seems to be In shape or to
have time to go around to solicit
subscriptions, and we would be
pleased if those who use the
ground, and any others who may
feel disposed to help, would send
their contributions to one or the
other of the undersigned. Thank
ing you in advance for any .favors
we may receive.

FIGURE IT OUT YOURSELF.
A Little Saving will Serve TO Make the
Future Secure.

The rapidity with which money
makes money is astonishing to
most persons who are not finan-
cial experts. Just as constant
dropping will wear away the hard
est stone, so constant saving will
pile up fortunes. Ifone VIII on.
ly stop and think, a dollar depos-
tied in a savings bank which pays
pc: cent. at compound interest,
will amount to 1919 in twenty
years.
But il a dollar is added to the
sum each year, at the end of the
same period the sum will be
S3097. Interest grows by what
1t feeds on, and the more 1t feeds
the huugrler it becomes. In a
century 81 at 6 per cent, with the
interest added to the principal an
nually, will increase to S340.
To put the matter little differ
emily. A man who deposits So a
week IN savings bank at per
cent. progressive compound in
tcrest, can, after twenty years,
draw out Sc a week and still leave
to his wife and children at his
death, all the money that he de
posted and mo e than half as
much more. There Is no mys
terry or speculation about making
money this way. The result is
certain and the benefit is finan.
cial freedom and independence in
old age.
Nearly every mau of wealth
has made his way over the road
of small beginnings, and he did
not take the road away with him.
He has always been keen TO avoid
the pitfalls offered the investors
of small savings. These offers
are easily distlngulshable. They
all have the same appeal. Get
rich quick" The lnve ,tor is
nursed along with big dividends
for several months. He does
not know that he is simply get
ting some of mis- own money back.
Such enterprises last only as
long as the law delays.
The provident man prepares
for that financial rainy day that
is bound to come to all, and
everybody knows that the best
way to prepare for 1t is to have
some money on deposit where it
can be drawn upon in case an
emergency arises.

La charging jury Judge Shay,
of Schuylkill county, male tins
declaration; "When an owner of
a dog is notified that his dog has
bitten a human being it is his
duty 10 have his dog shot. and If
not he is liable to indictment and
punishment" The Judge added:
"The keeping of a vicious dog is
an old crime under the com mon
law OF England, which has exist

force in this state. Any man
who would prefer to keep dog
known to be dangerous is a citizen

Officers of traternal and bene

State are greatly concerned over
the recent ruling thet the invest
ed funds of such organizations
may be taxed by the State, in
the same manner as private per

is four mills on the dollar, and as
tie invested wealth of all the
beneficial societies of the State
is estimated at more than SIS, 900,
900, the tax would be a heavy
drain on the funds The Odd
Fellows would be the heaviest
losers, as they would have to pay
