BEGIN SAVING AND SEE
YOURSELF GROW

The moment a young man
begins to save his money sys-
tematically he becomes q
larger man.
He takes broader views of
life and begins to have a better
opinion of himself. Trust takes
the place of doubt, and self
confidence replaces fear.
The man with nothing in the
bank is handicapped. He finds
himself unable to compete sue
cessfully with those of thrifty
habits, and is forced to the rear
in the race.
If you want to grow, II you
are ambitious to cut some fig
ure in the world and enjoy the
fruits of success, you must save
and invest your money. There
is no other way.
One dollar will start you
right. And we will be glad to
show you how to begin. Call
or write for one of our free
pocket banks today. Come in
and let's talk the matter over.

MLAN HEARD THIRD FOUL cause BALL DOWNED HIM


Umpire McLain was one Of the
~auaint figures on the diamond IL
or 30 years ago. He was OLD,
wrinkled and almost bald, but he
kent his nerve splendidly until
neafness came upon him. Then
Z he lost heart, and often appealed
% the men In the press box to
overlook his mistakes.
One day, in the fall of 1889. Nc
Lain was umpiring an exciting
game In Chicago. 1t was long be-
fore the days of the foul strike
rule, and SO, when Pop" Anson's
bat just licked the ball and Nc
Lain called 1t q strike, there was
trouble.
THAT was a foul tip" snorted
Anson In anger.
II didn't hear It." replied the
umpire. "Play ball"
Up came another ball, and again
Nnson's bat barely touched it.

Ms funny little piping voice.

WOMAN IN SERVIA.

Princess Eleanor Lazarovich of Servia in a recent address in this country said that in Seryia all the professions excepting law are open to women, as are practically all the places in the public service. Wom- en are employed by the government in almost all capacities, even as civil engineers. Woman officehold- CTS are not forbidden to marry, but if they wish to remain in the serv- ice they must marry a man who is also in it. Equal education for the sexes was established in Servia in
 1850. At the present time there are ten colleges in which women receive the baccalaureate degree which en- titles them to enter the university.

BROUGHT BACK PAST DELIGHT
African Girls Primitive Instinct Re vived by Sight of British or
 ficer In Uniform.

The story is told in Constantinople of d pasha who bought an African slave girl of the Mangbatu tribe-a handsome creature with an lnky black skin. At first she resolutely refused to wear more clothes than were the fashion in her native coun- try, systematically tearing to pieces all that were put on her. But at last she was persuaded to wear them and even went so far as to adopt the yashmak, says writer in Every body's. One day, while driving along the quay at Therapia with the two daughters of the house, she espied the British military attache in khaki uniform, waiting for his carriage in front of the British summer embassy. At sight of the officer she flew into the greatest ex- citement, her eyes glistened and she smacked her lips. ''That is good, very good !" she gurgled, pointing at the Englishman. 'In my country we eat them Their flesh is very white and tender. We cover them with grease and roast them over a slow fire, and when they are well done we put the meat on bread and eat it. Oh, it is perfectly delicious !" Presumably, in the course of an African campaign, some unfortunate army officer had fallen into the hands of the Mangbatu-a tribe no- torious for its cannibalism-and the sight of the attaches uniform re- minded her of the episode and re- viyed her cannibal instincts. Be this as it may, the two girls were frightened nearly out of their lives, and on their return from their drive hurriedly persuaded their father to get rid of the man-eating slave.

Preaching a Lost Art

The narrow minded, out-of-date
immediate cause of NOR. "freethink-
ing" skepticism and agnosticism than
any other factor in to-day's life writes
a correspondent in The DELINEAToR
for December. Preaching seems To
have become a lost art. Droning has
taken its place. ! suppose I've been
to church thirty times in the past
year, and the only sermon I've had the
patience To hear out from beginning to
end was a Talk" given by Miss Jane
Adams on settlement work. That
was realized Christianity, not slush.
Now | am not more critical than the
fellow beings with whom | associate,
nine-tenths Of whom would bear wit
ness TO this truth-that the reason
why church-going is dying u is be-
cause the ministers do not make the
right effort to hold and interest their
congregations.
We want the living, vial, every day
truth from the pulpit. We want to
know how to meet the temptations
that face us during the week We
want to know how to live-N0W and
how to die when our time comes. We
want preachers who will help us to
work out our own salvation, and not
wooden images who have had no ex-
p%erience of life and who are satisfied
to shout out a few galvanized common
places at our heads every Sunday and
sit down satisfied in their studies all
the rest of the week, imagining they
have done their duty by US.

Church Workers Receive No
Encouragement

A ge ntleman spent several weeks in
'our town" where he was an entire
stranger, says a writer in THE define
AToR for December. During this time
he attended ''our church" every Sun
day. A day or so before leaving. he
had occasion 80 enter a shoe store, aad
recognized in the man who came for
ward to wait upon him the usher who
had seated him the previous Sundays.
After making his purchase, he spoke
of the pleasant little church, said he
was about to leave the town, and
thanked the usher for his kind services
20 him vile he had been there. The lat
ter was greatly pleased and touched 10y
the strangers appreciation, and said
that he had ushered in "our church"
for eighteen years, but could not re-
member that any one had ever before
spoken a word of thanks Il him 1t is
partly this th~oughtless neglect of ex-
pressing our gratitude which makes
church work so discouraging.
These suggestions If all carried out,
will not fill 'the church in our town.

other in the English language. The
instant a girl or boy enters the house
and mother is not there, the first
question is where is mother?" They
may know she is not far distant, yet
there is a keen satisfaction i'm knowing
exactly where to find her. The father
comes into the house. He, too, looks
and then asks: "Wnere is mother?"
II she happens to come into tina room
at that moment he is not surprised
o eve does he want her. He merely
wanted To know where she was, 1t is
