MORE POSTAL SAVINGS BANKS.

TA IFTY additional postal savings banks were instituted today.
making "A total of 10. Hereafter between 100 and 200 will
be created each month, and if Congress shall appropriate
the money the postonice department will have $4,000 banks in
operation within two years, with an estimated annual business Of
at least 5000 100000, he figures being based on the ratio of the
postal banks now in existence. No banks have as yet been started
III large cities. The deposits in these banks have not affected the
regular savings banks. the money being mainly funds that had
been kept in primitive hiding places and safety deposits, without in
terest and without any use,, If as much as $200000000 can be
added by the postal savings system to the working capital of the
country il will be of great general benefit. and probably when the
system shall have become thoroughly established the total business
will reach half a billion annually.

EUROPEAN SUSPICION OF US.

cJa HE German vcechancellor, in his criticism of the overture
made by President Taft to Great Britain for an arbitration
treaty, voices the belief that obstinately sticks in many of
fetal minds in Europe that our government is waiting in Texas
only for a favorable opportunity to invade Mexico and forcbly
annex it. The American republic is, in the judgment of the vice
chancellor, the greatest conqueror of the present age. But how
absurd1y wrong this suspicious belief is! The American people are
SO far from any desire to see Mexico added to the republic that
II they believed such a policy was in contemplation they would
deluge Washington with protests. But who could even imagine
anything of the kind as being harbored by the benevolent, pacific
and easygoing Mr.. Taft?

THE AUTOMATIC ALARM.

Lights fhe house Is lark and still.

The night is back, the wind is chill
Lights out!
And noiselessly he climbs to where
The porch roof looms-he mounts the

Forces the casing! Then, beware
A food of light springs up! A shrill
Voice sounds! He's touched some

Then, with a curse, Porch Climber Bill
Lights out!

MOTHER WILLING TO
 SELL HER FOREFINGER
Chicago Woman Would Sacrifice It for
 Education of Daughter.

Chicago, August 6.-Mrs. Minnie O'Herrin says she will gladly sacrifice the index finger on her right hand in order to give her six-year- old daugh- ter. Isla, a musical education.
 The buyer of the living finger. if the transaction is culminated, will be Mrs Reginald Waldorf of Phild delphia Re gently Mrs. Waldorf's index finger on the right hand was injured by scut from a rusty nail Blood poisoning g resulted and the finger was amputated. There is but one thing that can re- store your hand to it's former condi- tion,' said the surgeon who amputat- ed the digit. Some other woman whose finger will fit and who is will ing to sell her finger must be found The new finger can be amputate6 and grafted on." So an advertisement was published in the Philadelphia papers. inviting proposals for a finger.
 Mrs. O'Herrin saw the advertisement and yesterday wrote that she would make the sacrifice.
 Are you willing to have your fin ger cut off to buy the education for Isla?" was asked.
 Why, certainly" answered Mrs. O'Herrin haven't 1 made every ether sacrifice a mother is capable of mak- ing for her? I will be the happiest person in the world if this can be done"
