Postal Savings.

The system of postal savings banks,
introduced into England in 1861, has
been adopted by all the large nations
except Germany <and the United States.
The general features are the same in
all the countries. Deposits may be
made at any postoffice. Depositors are
provided with pass books in which the
amount of the deposit is entered by the
local Office, and within few days an
official receipt is mailed from the gen.
eral Office. In rural communities car
riers are allowed to receive deposits.
To encourage employees to extend the
system, some countries allow local Off
Gals commissions. Most countries pro-
vide for a minimum and maximum de-
post. Twenty cents is usually the
minimum and a card is issued on
which stamps may be affixed until they
amount to that sum, when the card is
taken to the bank and deposited This
device is especially adapted for use
in schools. In England and France the
sums thus deposited are invested in
government bonds. Other countries al
investment.
The deposit is always guaranteed
by the government and there can be
no loss to the depositor through en-
beZzlement or bankruptcy Interest is

ally being three percent No interest is

BUFFALO BILL" IS COMING.
Ms wild West Show, Amer Fosr
Years Abroad, 10 Home Again.

Il will be welcome news to the
grown-ups and a matter FOR great re-
Joicing among the younger generation
TO learn that Buffalo Bills Wild West
and Congress Of Rough Riders Of the
World has decided to visit Deming.
The date selected is Friday, Oct. 23rd,
aud the exhibition will be complete in
every respect and identical with that
given at Madison Square Garden, New
York City, when the big organization
began its tour this spring.
After four consecutive years in Eu-
rope, his fourth trip to the Old World,
Col. VIM. +. Cody comes home with
practically a new representation. OF
course the general style Of the enter.
tainment is the same as that which for
nearly twenty-five years has made Buf.
falo Bills Wild West one of the fore
most arenic displays, original in its
conception and still the originator.
There will be the same careful stten.
ton to historic detail in presenting its
manifold features and the entertain
mont entire will conform to the higf
standard OF excellence which Buffalo
Bill' has always maintained.
Aside from the equestrian features
provided by the international congress
Of rough riders, two spectacular pan
tomimes, given with a cast Of princi
pals largely drawn from the origina
scenes in American history, which are
thus represented, have been prepared
for representation this season. They
are practically open-air melodramas
vibrating with excitement and thrilling
to behold. 1.-THE Battle Of Summit
Springs" depicts one OF the most stir
ring encounters the white soldiery ev
er had In their notable conquest OF tn
Redman. Remember the date in Dem
ing, Friday. Oct. 23rd.

Luna County's Fine
Showing.

If there is one exhibit at the
exposition more creditable than
another, OIL account of the effort
and enterprise going to create it,
it is that from Luna county.
Luna county is one Of the
newer counties of New Mexico.
Until recently it has been ex-
clusively a cattle growing and
mining district, but it has now
begun to come to the front as an
agricultural district, and some
of the products shown at the
exhibit are equal to the very
best products of the oldest dis
tricts in the southwest. The
way these products were grown
is admirably explained in the
paper by Mr.. Ralph Z. Ely, OF
Deming, which appears in this is
sue of the Morning Journal. Luna
county has also sent here a large
number Of delegates to the IT.
rigation congress. and visitors
to the exposition. Twenty-Five
or thirty Of the prominent citi-
zens Of Deming are in the city,
and have been here all week and
the enterprising little city has
done more than its share for the
success Of the Exposition. Every
visitor to the exposition should

TIRING OUT THE TIGER

A N officer of the Indian army describes
IA the manner in which pack of wild
dogs will attack and hunt down the
fercest tiger in the jungle Having
found their tiger, they proceed, not to at
tack him at once, but to starve him until
they have materially reduced his strength.
Night and day they form a Gordon round
the unfortunate beast, and allow him no
chance of obtaining food or rest; every
time the tiger essays to break the circle,
this is widened as the pack flies before
him, only to be relentlessly narrowed
again when the quarry is exhausted.
After a certain period of this treatment
the tiger falls a comparatively easy prey
to his active and persevering enemies
