GAME OF MARBLES

Paris, July 14.-"Boys will be boys is the excuse offered by a number of gray-haired veterans for a free for all fight they engaged in over a game of marbles a few days ago. The gray boards were lured into a game by recollections of boyhood prowess and banterings of village loafers so sev- eral of Paris most staid and sober business and professional men, some pillars of their churches, drew a ring on the ground and proceeded to 'sshoot." The game became so inter- esting that stiff joint and bald crowns were forgotten and when a deacon began to fudge a doctor didn't fail to tell him about it and the argu- ment waxed warm. Finally the be- whiskered marble players came to blows and the other participants of the game butted in and took sides and the free for all was on. Citizens rushed in and stopped the combat be- fore serious damage was done. The belligerents were taken before a magistrate and fined $25O each.

TESTING POSTAL
 SAVINGS BANKS

It is reported from Washington that as yet only fifty banks have applied to be made Repositories of postal sav- ings funds, and that but few postof- fices have asked to be designated as receivers of savings. Neither of these is significant. Banks are naturally in no hurry until the postal funds mater ialize, while postmasters are not like ly to petition that their work be in- creased. Postal savings do not depend upon the postmasters. They did not have the bill passed and most of them will probably not welcome the extra labor.
 It is foreeasted that the board of trustee will first inaugurate the sys- tenn in a few scattered offices of the first class, in order to give it a thorough trial. This would not be a trial at all. It is the small country post office which would give the sys- tenn it's best test. There is where dis trust of banks is the greatest.
 It is in the rural districts where the tin can and the stocking play so im- portant a part in the banking system of the people. It is from such dis tricts the large sums now kept in hid ing are expected to trickle into circu- lation. To be sure, the poor element in the large cities, particularly the foreign population, is expected to de- posit in the postal banks, because of instinctive confidence in the govern ment, and because, alsp, of the system attic efforts that will be made to in- duce that class to do so. But the sys- tenn will never be fairly tried out by confining the test to first-class post offices. The real test must be made in the fourth-class offices-National Daily.
