who he said was the greatest man
since the time of Christ"
Mr.. Hughes said he urged every
man Of the lower house to aid in Mr.
l.orimer's election.
Mr. Hines, the first witness ex-
amined, testified that President Taft
and Senator Aldrich were uneasy
about the senatorial deadlock al
Springfield and they had urged him
to his utmost to bring about Lorimer's
election.
Mr. Hines said President Taftswas
anxious that Illinois should elect a
senator without delay in view of the
then pending tariff question.

| turer at Rock Island. asking Mr.. Da'
| Wis 70 use his influence for Mr.. Lori.
mer The witness said the question

the stand Mr. Hughes admitted that
the latter had seen every member OF
| the legislature in the interest OF Mr.
LorImer. Huhges said he saw some
OF the members in Springfield and
| Others at their homes.
He denied the suggestion that he
had made offers OF money or political
patronage in exchange for votes. He
said he spent several days at Daven
port, Iowa, and Rock Island, Illinois
where he met Mr.. Walsh and Mr.
| Mccarthy, who suggested that he see

DAVID GARRICK.
The Great Actors Art and His Wife's
Ruffied FEELINGS,

Mrs. Ga"ricks admiration of her
husbands dramatic talents was in
tense, and Ca his great nights she
would hang over her box next the
stage in rapturous delight. The one
flaw in her idol. she claimed. was n
taste for low life. for which she blamed
him greatly, insisting that he loved
better to play Scrub to low lived
audience than one of his superior char
acters before an audience Of taste.
On one particular occasion she was
in her box in the theater when Gar
rick's impersonation of Richard Ill.
was applauded to the echo. In that
evening. and as Mrs. Garrick rose to
leave before it her husband came TO
the box TO say he had some business
in the greenrOOm which would detain
him. so most unwilingly the lady was
obliged to acquiesce and remain
through the closing entertainment.
This proved to be a cOmical series OF
laundering adventures which had be-
fallen a cOuntrymaD who had left his
farm to see London and on his return
gave his neighbOrs an account of the
wonders he had met.
This characterization was received
with such peals Of applause that Mrs.
Garrick, ever jealous of her husbands
fame. began to think it rivaled those
lately lavished on Richard Ill. Her
feelings were nearly worked up to fe
yer heat when she was attracted by
the frantic efforts of her little spaniel
dog to overlap the balcony that sepa-
rated him from the stage, when she
Immediately became aware Of the truth
that the actor was Garrick and eX-
claimed, "Strange that dog should
know his master when the woman who
loved him best in the world could not

ONE WAY TO SAVE MONEY.
Contract q Good Sized Debt, Then
Work Hard Till Its Paid.


Perhaps you think you can't save.
You have debts. Well. the way to
cure debt is by contracting another
one. You meet your debts, do you not ?
Well. contract a debt to the bank.
Just agree with yourself that you owe
the bank $1,000 and must pay this
debt in small installments-a dollar or
two or five out Of each weeks wages
Then pay that debt. The bank. unlike
your other creditors, pays you for the
use Of your money and will return it
to you In time with interest. For You
are partner with it. 1t is your Vbank
and it's business is to make money for
you.
When you start a bank account you
become a capitalist. banker, an in
vestor in securities and a substantial
citizen, interested in the development
of your town and country. You ac-
Quire standing. respect. peace of mind.
Your point of view is changed. You
no longer "see red" Your fellow men
appear to you as they really are-co-
workers and friends-not OppressOrs or
schemers against your welfare. You
have done your part. you have unified
your. interests with the right ones
caught step with the march Of prog
reSS
1t is only those who resist this march
that get hurt. Don't get under the
car-get in it. Going in debt to the
bank means going in debt to yourself.
to your family. to the general good.
This should be the most sacred of your
obligations and should come first. 1t
is the preferred creditor" and you'll
find that ali your other creditors will
be willing to stand back while you
pay it. For it insures the payment of
every other obligation. A man who
is saving is trusted and helped. His
credit is good. He can do things"
People place confidence in him.-Chi-
