No Postal Savings Banks.

One of the planks of Mr.. Taft's sup
Elementary platform has already. gone
to the political woodshed to be made
into kindling. Mr.. Taft's pronounce
ment in favor of postal savings banks,
as Postmaster General Meyer admits
in a recent discourse on the subject,
will be utterly futile unless Speaker
Cannon can be induced to regard it
with more favor than he has hitherto
shown toward it. If the adoption Of
the project is dependent upon the
good will of Uncle Joe, it might as
well be abandoned. While under the
present legislative methods at Wash
ington the Speaker does not exactly
make all the laws, it lies absolutely in
his power to decide what laws shall
not be made. If he is determined that
a bill to cretate postal savings banks
shall not be enacted, it won't be-

which the judge registered against her
in his heart. "Are there any more vol

There were five. -Four more were
started out separately to walk around
the square in quest of their affinities.
while Teddy and Molly Perkins disap-
peared in search Of looking glass.

as Judge Underwood came up to her.
"You are the general he said, "and
I'm reporting for orders" The weeks
intimacy had put them on terms of the
most friendly compaionship, although
long ago the judge had consigned his
foolish hopes to the dead past.
But Diana, who had never been very
astute in arithmetic, was doubly so in
mind reading. and she penetrated the
judges most sacred thoughts with
subtle divination. "Then," said she,
'if you're a good soldier you will 60

For an instant the judge stood gaz-
ing after her with wistful, troubled
eyes. Then, summoning his dignity
and his courage-he slipped, unnoticed,
through one of the low windows and
walked leisurely down to where the
old well lOomed, dilapidated hulk,
from which all water had been drawn,
in the half light of the dilatory stars.
He paused second, with his hand
on the crumbling bucket shelf. Then
he took deep breath and looked down
into a solemn pair of unwinking brown
eyes. His heart gave terrific, most
unmagisterial throb, and then the judge
did a very arbitrary thing. He delib-
erately struck a match, throwing it's
bright yellow glare across two GRIM
son cheeks, shining nest of golden
brown hair and clouds Of pink dimity.
At this juncture the judge quite for
got that he was almost forty, that he
was wearing his immaculate pearl
gray, that a million stars were looking
on, for he vaulted lightly the inclosure
of the well and dropped down, four
feet, into the soft sand beside his "fu-
ture wife" and folded her, regardless,
in his arms.
''But you were to look and run right
away" protested Diana in a muffied
tone. "You didn't play fair; it's all

cut in luminonsly, land six automo-
biles couldn't have dragged me away"
Diana gurgled softly as he kissed her
again Then they scrambled out to-

The Iulin Craze.

About the middle of the seventeenth
century the tulip became known in
Germany, and Il scientist named Ges-
ner gives the first description Of his
flower. First only the yellow variety
was known, and then other colors were
produced by crossing The Dutch, par
tucularly the citizens of Harlem, pro-
duced the most wonderful varieties of
this flower and obtained enormous
prices for them.
In 1884 the trade III tulips assumed
peculiar turn. 1t degenerated into a
sort Of a game Of chance. so that in
1873 the authorities felt called upon to
interfere and to issue edits against
extravaganza in tulips, as they former
ly had against trains and laces. This
interference would seem to be justified
if one reads that in 1906 single flower
of this sort, called the Viceori, was
paid for with two cargoes Of wheat,
four cargoes of rye, four fat oxen,
eight fat hogs, twelve fat sheep, two
casks of wine, four barrels of beer,
two tons Of butter, 1000 pounds OF
cheese, a complete bed, suit OF cloth
ing and silver tankard.
Another bulb, the Semper Augustus,
was paid for with 4,6OO gold guilders
and a coach with double team Of
horses. In HARLEM the tulip craze
reached its height in the decade from
1880 to 1910, when price of 10000
gold guilders about $4,000 American
money! is recorded for a single bulb.

Accidents on Railroads.

Commission has concluded the tabula-
ton of accidents on steam and electric
railways in Pennsylvania during
July, August and September last. The
classification shows the relative pro
portions of the various sorts of fatal
and non fatal accidents. Altogether
302 persons were killed and 3,514
were injured during the three months.
OF these the steam roads killed 253
and injured 2,039, and the electric
roads killed 49 and injured 1,475.
Sixty-four per cent of the persons
killed on the steam roads were tres
passers, more than 25 per cent. were
employees and less than one per cent.
were passengers. Of the injured on
steam roads more than 72 per cent.
were employees, more than II per cent.
trespassers and more than 10 per cent
passengers.
More than 26 per cent of those kill

A CURIOUS WORD.
Twists That May Be Given to "Ba" In
the Chinese Language.

Twists That May Be Given to "Ba" In
the Chinese Language.
In the Chinese language the same
word may be given several different
meanings by the modulation of the
voice. The same thing may happen to
the English "Yes," which may be pro-
nounced so as to mean 81 assent to
that" or ''I am doubtful" or ''Indeed?"
An eminent authority on philology
gives an amusing illustration of these
modulations in the Annamitic Ian
guage, a monosyllabic tongue spoken
by the people Of Tonquin and Cochin
China.
In this language the syllable ''ba"
pronounced with grave accent means
a lady, an ancestor. Pronounced with
the sharp accent, it means the favorite
of q prince Pronounced with the semi
grave accent, it means what has been
thrown away. Pronounced with the
grave circumfex, it means what has
been left of a fruit after the juice has
been squeezed out. Pronounced with
no accent, it means three. Pronounced
with the ascending OF Interrogation ac-
cent, it means box on the ears.
Thus the word "ba," in the order Civ
en- above, is said to mean, If properly
pronounced, ''Three ladies gave box
on the ear to the favorite of the
prince."-Chicago Reeord-Herald.

The Dollar That
Can't Be Spent

Every dollar spent in advertising is not only seed
dollar which grows profit for the merchant, but is
actually retained by him after he has paid it to the
publisher.
Advertising creates good will worth the cost of
the publicity
It actually costs nothing While it uses funds it
does not use them up 1t helps the founder Of bus
to grow rich and at the same time keeps his bust
ness from dying when he does.
1t eliminates the personal equation. 1t perpetu
ates confidence in the store and makes it possible for
merchant to withdraw from business without having
the profits of the business withdraw from him. 1t
changes name to an institution institution that
will survive after the death of it's builder.
It is really an insurance policy which costs nothing
pays premium each year instead of calling for one
and renders it possible change the entire personnel
of business without disturbing it's prosperity.
Advertising renders the business stronger than the
man-independent of his presence. 1t pemanentlzes
systems of merchandising the track of which is left for
others to follow
business which is not advertised must rely upon
the personality of it's proprietor and personality in
business is decreasing factor. The public does not
want to know the man who the store; it isn't
interested in him, but in his goods. When an unad
vertsed business sold it is only worth as much as it's

The name over the door nothing except to the
limited stream of people from the immediate neighbor
