age annuities. 1t extends to all
citizens including government
employees. Under the bill if a
person contracts with the govern

and pays Is cents per week until
he is 20 years he will thereafter be
entitled to an annuity of $130. per
year. Larger sums than this may
be deposited and the annuity
would be in proportion to the de-
post. The chief virtue of the
bill is in the absolute security of
the investment and it would beget
the habit of frugality among all
the people. The bill is fashioned
after the Canadian law now in

THE SLEEPING WATCHMAN.

A long time ago there lived a
very wonderful man in London
whose name was TOpham. He
was so strong that he could do
what no other man was able to do
who lived at that time: he could
bend an iron poker as easily with
his fingers as you or | could bend
little wax candle.
One night Topham was on his
way home In London, when he
found Waterman at the end of
n street asleep in his box Now
in those days watchmen had
these boxes to stay In and they
watched everything around them
all night, SO that no harm would
come to the neighborhood. or
course Waterman must stay
wideawake--that was what he
was hired for. Well, this watch
man was sound asleep, and Top
ham thought that he would give
the sleeper a little surprise and
teach him lesson.
SO he took hold of the box and
lifted II up on his broad back and
carried the box with the man In
1t off to the graveyard. where he
dumped his load. You can see
how very strong he must have
