Saving That First Thousand
Continued from page 9

is spendab1e, of course, at its face value, but
only, in few places where its imprint and value
are known. The money is in the form of five
pound Bank of England notes.
The man who packs this foreign money
around with him isn't an Anglomaniac. He is
on the contrary, bit of an Anglophobe, being
of Irish descent. He carries the English money
solely as means of saving. He knows that the
five-pound Bank of England notes are as good
as wheat in the bin, and he knows equally well
that if they were fve-dollar United States notes
he'd constantly be yielding to the temptation
to spend them right and left. You can't spend
fve-pound notes right and left even in New
York; for few folks are familiar with that kind
of money. The income of the restaurant man.
ager is three thousand dollars year.
Before he rugged up this five-pound note
scheme he had bitten on several bad Wall Street
tips passed along to him by customers of the
restaurant, and after having sent number of
little accumulations of bank savings after these
misleading tips he conceived violent dislike
not only for stock brokerage establishments but
for banks and all other sorts of fiduciary instt,-
tons. He figured, naturally enough, that the
ease with which he had been able to draw checks
on his bank had been the main contributory
cause to his yielding to the vain and foolish
stock market tips
Passing, one day, one of the many little es-
adjustments in Bowling Green where foreign
money is dealt in, he noticed a stack of the
white Bank of England notes heaped up in the
window. Then and there the notion seized him
that it would be good scheme for him to carry
around with him money that he couldn't spend
without deal of bother and explaining and
even then only in comparatively few places
He went in and traded United States money
for four of the five-pound notes.
That was nearly three years ago. Now he
has nearly four thousand dollars worth of the
fve-pound notes; for he buys one of them each
week. The bulk of these notes he keeps in the
restaurant safe; but he always carries few of
the five-pound notes in his wallet, just for the
sake, as he puts it, of having the feeling" that
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-09-26

and the thing worked out beautifully. He
couldn't blow in what he didn't have. He
couldn't sit down and scribble checks for
money of his that was In bank in his sisters
name about thirteen thousand miles away from
where he lived.
At the end of a year and half he saved, by
this system, plenty of money upon which to get
modestly married. Moreover, he SO accus-
toned himself to the saving business that now
he's paying for the house in which he lives out
of his Government salary and finding it no hard
ship to do so.
Used His Paymaster Uncle
A MOTHER young man, who made up his
1 mind that he wouldn't be able to save un-
less he found some method of hurting his saw
ings to remote point, bethought him of an
uncle of his, paymaSter in the United States
navy, who was cruising at the time on the
China station He wrote to the paymaster, tell
ing him of his inability to hoard anything if the
hoardings were so deposited as to be payable on
demand, and then began to send checks each
week to his cruising uncle.i
He never knew where the paymaster uncle
was from week to week. The envelops con-
tanning the checks all were addressed to the
paymaster in care of the navy pay Office at San
Francisco and the navy pay office forwarded
this mail to the ships on the Asiatic station.
This scheme was set in motion when the pay
master was just about beginning three-year
cruise in the distant China seas.
At the end of the three years the sailor uncle
brought him, when he returned to the United
States, fine sack of bright new gold coins, the
young mans far-posted savings. which gave
him a considerable list to starboard when he
toted it to the bank to deposit it.
Saved Three.Fourths of His Salary
CTILL another case of this sort was that of
~ drug clerk, or rather manager of drug
store, who was ambitious to start one of those
modern cut-rate drug stores, where they sell
everything from picture Postals to lessons IN
palmistry, in his home town. The only way
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1909-09-26

for another tive years, and he says he is gong
to keep plugging away at the saving business
under oath until he feels that he has got some
thing and can lie back and take it little easier.
Buried in Stone Foundation
THEN there's the account of man who wanted
to be very sure that he wouldn't blow in
little legacy of two thousand dollars that had
been Unexpectedly bequeathed to him. He
thought and thought of some plan to put
the money away where he wouldn't be able to
he might exchange it. One day. shortly after
he came into the bequest he noticed that
small temporary church was being constructed
on the block in which he lived. 1t was to be
wooden church, erected a surface founda-
ton of stone. This he ascertained after making
inquiries. Eventually stone church would be
reared on the site
The man with the legacy saw, first, the min
lister who to take charge of the new little
church, then the foreman in charge of the con-
struction of the church. On that same night,
under the supervision of the construction fore
man, the two thousand dollars, all in gold eagles,
was buried under one of the front surface foun-
dalton stones of the temporary church, together
with a record, signed by the minister and the
foreman, as to the circumstances of this inter-
ment of money and to whom it belonged
The money is under the stone yet; but the
fund for the erection of the stone church is
nearly all raised, and soon this Man Afraid of
Himself will get his two thousand dollars back
and be put to it to find another safe place for it.
Carpeted His Studio with Dimes
THEN there's the well vouched for story of
promising New York artist who degenerated
into an odd job hack owing to his unfortunate
