Almost any person at all Informed
! on the characteristics and customs Of
the different peoples of the world will
reply off-hand, in response to an. in:
quiry, that the Americans are the most
wasteful, thriftless, shiftless, and
wholly careless folks living, and will
proceed to contrast our habits Of life
with those Of; the Germans, the French
the Dutch, or some other foreign ma
ton about which our information is
decidedly Indefinite We have this
dinned into our ears so long that most
OF US believe It. A report prepared
for the savings bank section of the
american Bankers association tells a
different story. r 5..,. u si5y$.:. 4:
r: This report shows that the visible
savings Of the American people
amount to the incomprehensible total
OF $9,466,411,4 SS, or s11S per capita,
and is little larger with the close Of
the banking hours on each business
day Of the week. This total embraces
the money in savings banks, the saw

accumulations in building and loan as

companies. In tabulated form, the

pertinent. fine announcement short
time :go that certain large users were
seriously considering the Importation
of South African corn caused much
comment in the trade. Owing to the
free offerings of freight room in this
direction and the low prices at which
corn is selling in South Africa it was
figured that it could be laid down in
New York duty and freight paid for
5SHc bushel in comparison with 74c
for the July option with which It
would compete.
1t was pointed out, however that
there we're certain physical difficulties
in the way which might prove
insurmomtable, chief among them
being the effect on the grain while
passing from a temperate zone through
the torrid and grain into temperate
zone on voyage of six weeks dura-
ton. 1t was admitted that the heat
ing" or fermentation of the corn while
confined in the ships hold might
cause irreparable injury to tine grain,
but much would depend on the condf.
tion at the time of shipment.

saw that we must seek the coast
and land the quickest way down from
the icecap, for our only chance Of saw
ing any Of the dogs was to get fresh
supplies; only on the coast could we
hope to find trace OF living creq-

The specter of famine was drawing
nearer. We made our way down the
!ce-slOpe, three weak and weary men,
with nine starving and exhausted dogs,
in that gaunt and frozen solitude But
We ate little, keeping what we could
for the dogs. One morning we started
after musk-oven, the specter OF fam-
inc now seeming to tread on our heels.
At last, on a little terrace below the
crest of the white ridge, we spied a
group Of black dots that showed rs
our quest was ended. The herd was
not two hundred yards off. We count

People with an average income OF
from 81, 600 TO $4,000 a year live in far
more convenient houses in America
than in England. The matter OF water,
heat, lighting, suitable kitchens and
laundries, is insisted upon with US, and
is lacking to an appalling extent in
English country or even town houses,
and also in the more pretentious coun-
try houses themselves The houses OF
the poorer classes, laboreTs, clerks,
servants and the like, are mere boxes,
with o Of the c~onventences TO which
Americans even of the poorer classes
are accustomed. Hundreds of thous-
ands of Americans live in houses adj
mirably equipped as TO bathrooms,
lighting and heating c~onveniences, and
the like, where hundreds are thus
housed in England. Indeed, America
is in a class quite by herself, so far as
mechanical c~ontriVances for personal
comfort are concerned, as compared
with England, or any other country in
the world.

ElStti hI1 wv
Colonel John 1. Martin, sergeant-at-
arms OF the democratic national conven-
ton, lives In st. Louis, where he built
himself a fine house. He thought 1t well
to have a library. and went down to a
book store. where he ordered some books,
according to an apocryphal story.
What kind of books?" asked the clerk.
why, books" replied the colonel.
Books, you know, reading books"
The books came and were installed In
the library. Soon after the coionefs
friend. Hugh O'Neill. came up to look
over the place.
Here, Hugh" said the colonel. lis my
library. Here is where I love to get with
a book and a pipe and forget the outside
world"
O'Neill is somewhat of a book sharp.
He took down a book, looked at 1t and
put 1t back; took down another, looked
at that and put 1t back. and repeated the
process several times.
Then he asked John, where did you
get these ooks?
oh" replied Martin, 81 picked them uI
here and there. Whenever l found one ]
liked / bought 1t. 1t has been the WORK
of many years"
But, John" commented O'Neill, ism
1t strange that you should have bought 6U
copies of McGuffey's Fifth Reader?'

Mad Mullah smiled when thus he spoke
His hot Somalis saw the joke.
Were on: we're on" they yelled in glee
Nov turn us loose and you shall see.
How quickly we will go and find
The great big game you have In mind"
Mad Mullah grinned, for well he knew
What hunting stunts his band could do.
Good, hot Somalis," said he then,
Now scatter and come back again.
with that big game, for II you fail
The bunch of you shall go to Jail.
You said you would: don't stir my ire
You know how l despise a liar.
And bring him hither on the lope."
The hot Somalis bowed and skipped,
Resolved to have the big game nipped.
Mad Mullah, in the desert hot,
Waits, wondering If they will or not.
