TREAT AND POSTAL SAVINGS

On making what probably was his
last public appearance before his re-
tirement from the office of treasurer
of the United States. Charles II. Treat
Monday evening at Boston spoke of
the proposed postal saving bank sys-
TEN in these words:
"The extraordinary suggestion has
been put out that In order to prevent
further depreciation of the per cent
bonds. experimental legislation au-
thorizing the establishment OF postal
savings banks should be enacted go
that the money and savings Of the
people might absorb the output Of
some 2730.O0O.000 Of . per cent bonds
and thereby safeguard the govern
ment credit. Matters would seem to
have reached deplorable condition II
the government credit has to take
such form"
From this it may be easily imagin-
ed that the treasurer of the United
States is not in sympathy with the
plan for postal savings banks al
though President Taft and Former
President Roosevelt favor the scheme
And in this connection 1t may be
noted that practically all the bankers
of America are opposed 10 the Carter
act establishing postal savings banks.
The American Bankers association at
It's recent meeting in Chicago took a
decided stand against the proposed
measure and bankers all over the
country arc opposed to It. Here and
there a banker of prominence fayors
the plan of postal savings banks as
provided by the Montana senator's
measure. but these men are indeed
rare

since the bankers are so nearly unan-
imous ON The subject II would appear

AN UNDERCURRENT TO THE
BREWER CAMPAIGN,

Chas. Smurthwaite is telling arounu
that ii his man is elected Ogden will
experience a reform. After Brewer
has been in Office two years. it is
rather late 10 be promising he will
do something he has so far absolutely
failed TO do.
At no time In the history OF Ogden
has tho city been under such loose
control as during the last eighteen
months.
When Brewer decided to again ac,

spasm OF restraint which every one
said foreshadowed Brewers renomin.

walked into two or three saloons as
they Journeyed along Twenty-fftb
street toward Washington avenue,
When they reached a point directly
opposite the Central park. they con-
cluded that they needed rest. and they
also felt that the "jagS" they had on
were too burdensome. so they
marched over 10 the park and took
seats. Soon after being seated they
proceeded 10 relieve themselves OF the
beer and whisky.
The park superintendent, b. Van
der Shut. appeared upon the scene
and advised the fellows that they had
better move on. and that the park was
not garbage pit The German bows
took exception 10 Van der Shuts sug-
gestions and proceeded to create a
rough park They swore and talked

was fairly bewildered with sounds.
Van der Shut called on of the park
workers to his aid and the two fellows
were taken to the station, where,
short time after, they were arralGned
before the police Judge on the charge
of disturbing the peace. Their I'M
for the clemency of the

was 10 fine or ten days in the city

"A man has l. very small nature

"Helen. what do you mean?" and
Miss Roberts hands are held in
firm grasp.

"Will you promise never-never

Helen. what do you think of
me?"
Helen's reply to this question was
incoherent.
When DR.. Roberts came home to
dinner that evening he was surprised
to find Harvey ensconced in his old
chair in the library. He shook hands
with him heartily, and said:
why. how is this? Helen told
me that she respected you highly,
but that it was quite impossible for
you to agree on some important mat
ter-literature, think it was"
Helen's cheeks grew crimson, but
Harvey gravely said:
1--WE have agreed not to talk upon
literary topics, and Helen considers
that she really is IN need of my pro-
lection"
So the last state of these two low
ers was better thar the first. Helen
burned her poetry, and Harvey sent
curt refusal when the managing
editor of the Stiletto asked for a
further contribution.
Christmas eve was a perfect win

Harvey entered the room and stood
beside her. The moonlight was

beauty was almost painful in it's still

What have your thoughts been
all the time?" asked Harvey at last.
"Reveries," answered Helen, soft.

Thackeray, too, took q sudden leap in

have long predicted his doom because.
in the language of his own inimitable

"hupper suckles" to please the present
democratic British taste. However, he
was more in vogue this Christmas than
for some years past, though his sales
did not equal by a good deal those of
Dickens. Sir Walter Scott's popularity
is indeed on the decline, and this year
very small sales of his "Waverly Nov
els" were made, while Bulwer Lytton is
a drug on the market. Robert Louis Stew
enson, George Meredith, Thomas Hardy
and Rudyard Kipling are always sure of
a certain popularity, and this Christmas,
as usual, they sold steadily and well.
