and friends who live in re-
mote corners of the earth.
We we're told about one
young fellow, a federal en-
ployee whose annual income
is eighteen hundred dollars,
who started a few years ago
to save enough money by
the usual put-it-in-t he-bank
process to get married. He
made a poor mess of it. 1t
was easy enough to put the
money into the bank; but he
found it still easier to draw
it out again. Thus he made
no progress in saving, al
though the young woman he
had picked out for a wife
was willin' and waitin'.
The young man had a
sister who was teaching
school in the Philippines.
He wrote her an explanatory
letter, and then began to
send her, on each semi
monthly payday, a chunk of
his salary in the form of a
moneyorder. There was no
chance for him to get that
money back into his clutches
when he had sudden i'm
pulse to become reckless
and overspend. His sister
in the Philippines cashed the
1noneyorders as they reached
her, put the money into the
bank with her own savings,

until a little later on.
THAT'S what we all say
a little later on"
BY dint of colossal energy
and effort and things he did
succeed, after about a years
trying, in putting all of
ninety dollars into the bank;
this out of his annual income
of thirty FIVE hundred dol
lars. The ,um struck him as
being SO inconsequential, so
trifling, SO foolish, in fact,
that, in A moment of petu-
lance over his poor success
at saving, he drew the ninety
dollars out of the bank in
one enormous lump and
spent it all on a little three
day junket to the seashore.
Nevertheless, he still was
resolved to save. He knew,
however, that he'd have to
light on some scheme that
would make him save.
One day he went to the
roof Of the establishment of
which he is manager to
supervise the annual drain
ing of the water tank. The
tank is a huge one, contain
ing never so many gallons
of water. Standing on the
ladder and gazing into the
depths of the drained tank,
and noticing the two-inch
deposit of mud or silt at the
bottom, the young man had

an idea What would he the matter with that tank
as savings bank Why, nothing would be the matter
poked the mud off the straner in the corner and
that the straner holes quite small-not half the
size of silver dime. Nothing at all would be the
matter with that water tank as savings bank!
He'd noticed that every week certain number OF
gold coins found their way into the firms cash
drawer. Sometimes the gold coins would amount
only to ten fifteen dollars week; at the windup
of other weeks the gold coins in the cash drawer
would amount to high forty dollars week
The manager vowed and vummed to himself that
he'd take possession of all the gold coins that found
their way into the firms business each week, sub
stuting paper currency out of his pocket for Them
and just toss the noncorroslve gold into the water
tank the roof, from which he'd have possible
chance extract his entanked savings except at the
annual draining and cleaning of the tank
No sooner thought out than begun He gave the
cashier standing orders to turn all the gold coins
reaching the shop to him at the end of each
week The last thing that he did before closing up
each Saturday evening to mount the stairs to the
roof climb the ladder running alongside the water
tank and chuck his little handful of gold coins into
it. Sometimes there many gold coins in the
him severely to have to change his paper money for
them and stick to his bargain with himself.
But he stuck to it all proper enough and at the
end of the year, when came time to supervise the
cleaning of the tank he had the satisfaction of
standing the top of the tank ladder and grnning
craftily and mysterously while the in the tank
scooped out of the sediment of mud and handed to
him just eleven hundred and fifteen dollars in gold
coins; approximately onethird of his annual income
He is still using the water tank as savings bank
The two men who clean the tank every year are
trusted porters of the store and there danger
of their cupdity getting the better of them The
young says that now he has become trained
in the saving habit that the putting away of money
for himself longer is hardship; that after he
pans out this years collection of gold coins from
the tank he is going to begin to bank third of his in
in regular bank, being confident that after
having thus taught himself ingenious lesson in
ing he will be able to save in regular way hence
forth without bludgeoning himself into saving by
of water tank other contrivances He claims
that saving much matter of training and prac-
tice as playing the violin or juggling oranges and
Indian clubs.
And there is good deal of meat in that claim, too,
when you to think it over, more particularly
when you begin to experiment at saving.

ments necessary to indicate the tract of
land claimed or to advise the most vigi-
liant observer Of the possession claimed
and at page 375 Of the decision, IT is
said
I" That the boundariea Of the land
claimed for mining purposes must be
indicated by such distinct physical
marks or monuments as will fairly adver
tise to all concerned where and what it
is, or in other words its extent. Also
in the Hess vs.. Winder case as here,
the parties claimed that as they we're in
actual possession of a portion Of the
land and claiming under a deed they
we're constructively in possession of
the whole, even though such deed did
not sufficiently indicate the boundaries,
but the court disposed Of the contention
in this language:
"If the deed contains no definite and
certain boundaries which can be locat-
ed, marked out, and made known, it
can not have the effect to extend the
possession beyond the possessio
pedis which is definite, positive
and notorious. The deed in
question does not contain description
which could aid to extend the plain
tiffs possession by construction. "
In the caae of Gregory VS.. Perish
baker, reported in 70 Cal. Reports,
page I 10 ct seq, the intervenor having
made location which was found to be
subsequent to that of plaintiff, sought
to hold possession of the claim by
reason of work done in constructing a
tunnel Hereunder, but the court in de
Gliding against him said:
"As to any claim to the possession
(of the mining claim based on occu
pancy by the tunnel under a portion of
plaintiffs location such occupancy, If it
could be considered at all under the
statutes would extend only to the space
within the walls of the tunnel, and
could not be extended beyond them by
any rule of constructive possession
There was evidence on TIL part of
defendants showing that they had
actually discovered gold probably in
paying quantities within the boundaries
of the twenty acres in dispute, which
taken in connection with the evidence
of marking the boundaries some time
prior to the trial and in fact enclosing
the claim with a wire fence and the
working in the tunnel, would seem to
indicate that defendants had perfected
good location to the twenty acres, as
the law stood prior to July LIST of this
year, when the new act providing for
the manner of locating lode and placer
mining claims went into effect, but as
this discovery is not clearly shown to
have been made prior to the filing OF
defendants cross complaint but on the
contrary appears to have been made dur
ing the tendency of the trial it is I'M
necessary to determine whether defen-
dants have thus acquired valid loca-
ton as no relief can be granted in this
action, to defendants based upon title
acquired subsequent to the filing of the
cross complaint.
A judgment will be entered adjudg-
ing that neither plaintiffs nor defen-
dants are entitled to any relief in this
action.
