POSSIBLE HE SAYS

Poughkeepsie, N. Y, Oct. 3-"Fight-

come out as an advocate of higher
pensions for Civil War veterans. He
made a characteristic speech at the
unwilling of the monument to the One
Hundred and Fifty-sixth New York vol
unteer regiment at Highland, opposite
this city, in the course of which he
said:
!, BE good to those old men who
fought in the great war that our union
might be saved. Don't give Them any
more than $12 month bounties. If
you are going to starve the men who
all but gave up their lives for you,
1t would be better to do it at once and
not prolong the process-day by day
and year by year.
In closing he said: IF you give us
battle ships enough I assure you that
we will keep the peace, if we have to
fight for It."

NEWS HAS BEEN RECEIVED

New York, Oct 3--Commander Peary,
who sailed from here in July, is now
we'll on his way among the ice fields
of the far North in his search for the
pole, according to the first authentic
news of the expedition in many weeks
which has just been received here. It
came in the form of two dispatches to
Herbert l.. Bridgeman, secretary Of the
Peary Arctic Club. One, which was
,sent by Commodore Peary just before
he started from Etah, North Green
land, on the steamer Roosevelt for the
far North, was sent on August H.
It's long slow journey was made by
way of Indian Harbor to Cape Race
to N. F., whence it was wired to New
York. Commander Peary reports that
the season has been unusually stormy
He expected to steam to the northwest
that night. Everybody on the Roose-
welt was well.
A second dispatch, which came from
Captain Samuel w. Bartlett and dated
Cape Race, N. F., told of the sailing of
the Roosevelt from Etah on the night
Commander Peary's dispatch was writ
ten. Captain Bartlett also reported
that the steamer Erik, which had been
used to secure equipment for the ex-
ed in collision with an iceberg.

The interest created in leading cities

LIVING WITHIN ONES MEANS.

For several years now the people of
this country have been enjoying a per-
iod of abundant and remarkable pros
perity Yet with the first check to gen
eral business it has been discovered
that tens of thousands of persons are
practically destitute and compelled to
rely on charity. The reason for this in
the great majority of cases is undoubt-
edly the prevailing tendency of working
people to live up their incomes as fast
as they receive them. And in far too
many instances this tendency goes to
the extreme of even living beyond one S
means, making purchases and contract
ing debts with little regard for ability
to pay. Thus when these foolish ones
find themselves out of employment,
even though it ne but temporary, they
are forced into privation and even actual
suffering, unless charity takes care of
them during their enforced idleness-
Common sense and good Judgment
would seem sufficient to teach everyone
the desirability of living beyond one s
means And not only the desirability
of leaving within ones means, but the
wisdom of putting aside little, during
periods of prosperity for the proven
bially rainy day. And the very first
step toward successful saving is book
keeping. AS no business man is able
to tell the state of his affairs without
knowing the proportion his disburse-
ments bear to his receipts, so no house
holder can ever be capable of telling
where he is ''at" without knowing how
much he is spending as we'll as how
much he is getting. Keeping accounts
may not, owing to unforeseen misfor-
tune, always result in saving, but it
will in the great majority of cases.
Every man and every woman should
learn to keep regular account of what
they receive and what they spend.
Every child should also be early taught
and encouraged to keep a private ac-
count, and to save the pennies instead
of wasting them on foolish frivolities
and needless extravagances. The habit
thus formed viii usually last through
life, and in many instances it will pre-
vent want and privation. Elk.
