SAVING WAGES.

\ news item says that q DanVefs, Mass. man worked 10 years as a wagon driver for one firm, and retired at the age of 92 after having accumu lated $50000 saved from his wages of SIP week. Items of this kind ire quently appear in the newspapers, and the average reader accepts them as facts without halting moment to see how absurd they are. It is im- possible for man to save $5O,0OO in 40 years out of salary of SIP a week There are 52 weeks in year, there fore the salary for one year is $624, and for 40 years is $24,960, less than half of $50,000, therefore impossible for the wage earner on a salary of S12 a week to save $50,O00 in 40 years. No doubt the Danvers man saved up small sum from his wages and this he judiciously invested. This invest ment paid we'll, and he reinvested his earnings and whatever sum he could save from his salary, hence the $50,OO0 he had after 40 years of service as the driver of delivery wagon was chiefly earned by the reinvestment of the income on other investments his Investments increasing in number and value as the years rolled by. It was the only way for him to do it, and at the end of the 40 years there was no very large per cent of the 50,0OO as a saving from his wages.
 However. there is valuable lesson in the example of the Danvers deliv- cry wagon driver. It tells the young man of today that t is good policy to save enough out of q small salary to make nest egg" to be safely invest ed in something which will yield legit- innate and substantial returns, and that by the re-investment Of these returns and the small savings from his salary competency may be earned with which to make easy the few years re- maining after becoming too old to longer earn wages Or work Or a salary.

|HINEMON ISSUES WARNING

To the Voters of Arkansas:
My attention has been called to
the arrogant boast OF Mr.. George
w. Donaghey to the effect that ne
will carry GO counties in the safe.
Amazing modesty. Why don't he
claim all the counties and be gen
erous about it?
Not content with the noise made
by his trumpeters and the beating of
tomtoms by his men, he has tried
to convince himself that he is can
didate of great strength by adding
bis own voice to the babel Of noises
he has created. To tell the truth,
he knows about as much in regard
to his real support as the people do
about his attitude on the question
of statewide prohibition, on which
question he has maintained silence
as successfully as he has avoided
meeting either of his opponents at
any time in joint discussion.
Senator Davis, too, has attempted
to divert attention by proclaiming
that the contest is between his i'm
mediate representative, Mr.. Kirby,
and his erstwhile friend and follow
er, Mr. Donaghey.
Both of them know that | am the
candidate who has revealed strength
in every township in the state, that
my supporters are made up Of the
quiet and conservative men in fhe
state who have scant patience with

the methods of my opponents ia
which all sorts of charges and coun-
ter-charges are made with no Sc
rious attempt to answer or disprove
any of them, and that there is no
hope Tor either Of them except in
an attempt to divert some of my
friends to some other candidate.
These methods will not succeed.
The people have become familiar
with the methods practiced by the
trained politicians and are not de-
ceived by the prating of camp fol-
lowers who hope to profit by the
success of a certain candidate or
the rawlings of henchmen who make
it their trade to howl for any man
who is willing to present certain
silent but persuasive influences for
support.
The people are tired of the wrang-
ling and turmoil Of recent cam
paigns. They want a man whose
backing does not consist of pollt-
ical rings and intrieues, but VINO
stands in opposition to all their IN
fuences and who relies for support
unon those citizens who believe in
sobriety, law, order and fidelity in
the discharge of public duty. In this
class I confidently look for trium-
nhant nomination, and I warn my
friends to give no heed to tibet Wild
claims of my opponents.
