ease. Systematic saving was Girard's rule. He was born in Canada, ana in his youth was much impressed by the fact that the old folk usually were considered membranes if they had no money. He says that while the young people took care of their par ents. it was a burden for young mar ried people, who had right to their own lives and who had trials enough of their own to face without having to take on the support of the old folk. He resolved that no one need take care Of him in his old age. lie hustled to the United States with this idea in his mind, and arrived in Wor- cester, Mass, with only ten cents. lie walked to Grafton, a distance Of l6 miles. to get job, and worked for a shoemaker for several years. Then he shipped on a whaling vessel and went around the world. When he re- turned he married a former sweet heart in Canada and settled down to save money. He saved a certain DOT llOll Ol Blo "oSCo, io iioItSi "AStu CT they increased or diminished, and when some of the children grew large enough to go to work they added to hrs savings by paying board money.
 Mrs Girard aided greatly in buying raw wool, washing it, carding it and spinning it into cloth for their clothes, instead of buying material from the stores She also knew where and how to buy provisions, and carefully tended market garden lessened the expenses of living.
 MT Girard has made only one in vestment, but that was a successful one He bought piece of property for $900 and sold it few years later for $1 800 but he has not cared to make money in that way since. He has preferred to stick to hts principle of systematic saving.
 Marry woman for her practical commonsense instead of her doll face; leave liquor alone; have steady job at small pay instead of an irregular job at large pay; don't increase your expenses as your salary increases, " are the precepts which MT. Girard jays down to the man who would ac- cumulate fortune.

they could be placed on an evens foot ing with the other members of the de- partment was for them to get mar ried. They again protested that it was not reasonable that they should be singled out for compulsory mar riage and no one else, wherelrpOn the mayor declared that he would make the thing general.
 No one who looks at Mayor Ben nett's picture would pick him out as a joker, but there is not a man in all Iowa who enjoys joke more than he. It was not intended that the or dinance should have any further at tention, and while the local papers used it as a feature of the council proceedings, there was nothing more thought of it until outside papers cop jed it and letters of inquiry began to arrive. From that on the joke grew to such proportions that marked cop ies of papers and letters from all over the United States were address ed to the mayor Probably no one

 For years there has been a deadly strife between Fort Dodge and Water loo for supremacy Just recently Wa terloo has enjoyed the distinction of street car strike which has won for it larger portion of metropolitan dis tinction. Fort Dodge could not stand idly by and permit her hated rival to acquire these newly achieved honQrs and make no effort to outtlistance her The outside papers asked for more news regarding the marriage ordi- nance, and here was the opportunity for which the reputation builders of the city were looking. Miss Jenny Cameron, principal of the Castlewood private schools for children, was ere ated leader of the spinsters in oppo- sitiOn to the ordinance. Jennie was made to hold mass meetings, boycott a mythical department store with a mythical manager, and Charles Swift, another fictitious parsonage, was made to take up the opposition in behalf of the bachelors. And thns the story Of the ordinance and it's effect, resulting in the agitation and scenes, was fos. tered and added to until every daily paper from coast to coast has given space to more CT less of the reports sent out
 Throughout it all there has been the very best of humor, and no one has been in anywise injured. All past history of the Cardiff giant and the hobo convention have been sur passed in notoriety and fame achiev- ed through a simple little joke in the form of mock ordinance which was read at "a regular session of the council. hs4ss

TIE TOMB IF lcHR|ST
IT HAS BEEN A BATTLEFIELD FOR
 CENTURIES.
Jealous Monks Continue to Riot over Resting Place cf Prince of Peace -Arraneements Made with
 the Sultan.

London--In the one place in all the world where noise of strife should be forever hushed, and only sounds or worship be heard, men met in bloody battle recently. Crucifixes and cens- CTS were the weapons, Francisclan and Armenian monks were the com batants, and the scene of the strug- gle was the tomb of Christ.
 For brief time the battlefield of the crusades echoed again to the sound of clashing arms, the groans of the wounded, the cheers Of the victors But this was not battle of believer against unbeliever, heather versus Christian. The contestants were monks. sworn to teach the doc trines of the Prince of Peace.
 The bone Of contention is a desire to control the sainted sepulcher It was this ambition that brought the Crusaders swarming from all Europe, and now a form of the same desire has the monks of the Franciscan or der and the Armenian branch forever at each others threats.
 They quarrel over the right to sweep off the steps, and the Greeks, though they had little part in bring ing the tomb of Christ under Chris tian control, have profited so skill fully by the quarrels of France with Turkey, that they have ingratiated themselves with the Pasha till he is regarded as their silent ally.
 In this last battle one sacristan had his skull smashed in with 9 heavy censer, and number of the com batants went to hospitals for treat ment. So frequent have the quarrels

The settee is Wide enough to hold two persons and has back that rises six feet above the floor. The antlers are bolted to- gether and so arranged as to form a comfortable seat. Only antlers are used in the construction of this set tee, even the seat being formed of smaller specimens. The arrangement of the settee is ingenious to degree that makes it an object of deep inter- est to visitors. It was made many years ago as curious and effective manner Of preserving the trophies of the chase.
