Though It May Not
Be Successful,
Cooking Is Fun

ID you ever go to cookin' school, Be1le1 There's
on'y disadvantage about cookin schools as far
as I see-you've got to learn how to cook
after you graduate.
Dora Williams went to cookin' school, and
though she's outgrown it since, I'll forget
the first time l went to her after she
married
Before the third finger of her left hand began
to sparkle, Dora used to entertain that young
husban' of hers by tellin him all about cookin'
schools and the wonderful useful things she
learned there.

Texas Senate Proceedings.

Austin, Tex.-Among the petitions
read in the senate Saturday were a
number from citizens of Walker Coun.
ty fayoring the consolidation of the
Texas Central Railway with the Mis-
souri,, Kansas & Texas.
Special order was Weinerts sus-
pended sentence bill, which he called
up and explained at the request of
baltimore, saying the prison reform
law In q way contemplated the indie
finite or indeterminate sentence,
thing that was necessary for true re-
form, and that his bill was but step
in that direction.
The bill provides that upon first
conviction in felony cases, where the
punishment does not exceed five years
and the crime is not murder, criminal
assault, perjury, burglary of private
residence, robbery by means of dead.
ly weapon, arson, seduction or bigamy
the court MAY suspend sentence upon
written application by the defendant.
Where sentence Is suspended, there
is to be no appeal and the suspension
lasts during good behavior and after
the court has heard evidence of good
character of the defendant heretofore
Weinert explained that it was a
measure that would aid youthful of
tenders and that it was Endorsed by
numerous district judges and attor-
neys, letters from whom were read
Among those who Endorsed it was Dis
trict Attorney Maury of the criminal
district court OF Galveston-Harris
Counties.
Lattimore's Warning.
baltimore expressed deep admira-
ton for Weinert's opinion on penal
matters. However, it was his judg-
ment that 1t was treading upon danger
GUS ground to release man over q
who had been guilty with deliberate
criminal intent.
Greer offered an amendment, max
ing more specific the provision that
any one who is convicted of criminal
assault shall not get the benefit of the
law. Adopted.
Greer offered an amendment provid-
ing that good behavior" shall be con-
strued to be during period on which
defendant shall not be convicted eth
er OF felony or misdemeanor
Ratliff and Moachum suggested that
at times a man can not escape an az.
fray and this would destroy the sus-
pension of the sentence and perhaps
the intent OF the act.

The depositor knows just what Is coming to him. He
can draw much little as he pleases, provided
the denominations right and when his money is
all drawn the tearing up Of the manila jacket closes

Not Intended for Millionaires.
These banks not intended for millionaires. In
fact, the most that any can have on deposit at
any time is $500; and it is not possible to de-
post more than 500 in any month. When the
first forty-eight banks were opened many farmers
came in with sums ranging from $1,000 to $4,000,
and surprised when they told that only
500 could be taken per month. One old woman
called at the Postoice department here in Washing
ton. She had big fat pocketbook with her. which
contained the savings of years. She said that she
had lost her money in private bank failure twenty
FIVE years ago and that since that time she had been
praying for government bank where her funds would
be safe
At of the other stations two farmers brought
in two bags of coins which together held more
than $4,000 and asked deposit It; while at Dubois
Pa, a German miner offered $1,700 and was sur
prised when the postmaster would accept only 800
At Ashtabula, o., woman deposited 800, and said
she would return monthly until her account had
reached the limit; while at the ONCE who

he did not to open an account where the money

Bargain Counter

Don't keep a rag-bag," was the fundamental
motto OF A. I. Stewart That pioneer American mer-
chant prince was accustomed once week, and some
times oftener, to go up and down the aises of his
store stopping at various counters and lingering dry
goods or fancy goods the many little articles dis

How is this article selng?" OF, What is the de-
mand for these goods?" he would ask. If the reply

But If he discovered that the demand falling on
for certain article certain line of goods, else
that there was not ready sale for the articles

things on a special table and mark the price down

many children are among the depostors. In some
instances postmasers have been asked to address the
public school children the system and school teach

partment for information concerning 1t. At one of
the Pennsylvania ofHces a boy has opened account
in order that he may have start in life when he is
through school, and in other places men opening
accounts for children and starting them the to

be better charity than the pauperzing ndiscrimnate

take the children of a single school class and do

countless variations.
Government Bonds for Savings Bank Depos1tors.
Connected with the postal savings bank act is q
provision by which the certificates of deposit may be
used buy government bonds. This went into effect
the LIST of July, and many bonds have already been
purchased The law provides that postal savings in
the sums of s2O $40, $780, $50 and 500, and null
tples of 500 and $780, may be turned in for bonds
which shall be in the above denominations, and shall
bear interest at the rate of per cent per annum,
payable semannually. These bonds cannot be
bought except by postal savings bank depostors but
they 8 arranged that any one can have part
in the government debt of the United States and
a government bond They will be sold to such
depositors at par They exempt from taxation,
and they will probably have market value some
what higher than at the rate they sold to de-
positors This 1t is thought will add to the stability
OF government Every man who owns such a
bond will want to support the government and will
feel that he has a part in It, It will probably result
In a great part of bonds, which now held by

country in order that they may be deposited in the
banks of Europe Some of this goes to the banks d.
rect and is sent to friends who put it in the
postal savings banks of their respective countries.
In the four years ending with 1909, more than
1912 200, 600 of such orders issued, and
large part of them for savings deposits Now
that the postofce bank has been established a great
deal of this money will go into 1t. This has been the
in the banks opened in the mining camps where
many foreigners employed. 1t So also, In the
milling centers and in all aboring towns. At of
the Pennsylvania offices a group of foreigners, both
men and women called to see the postmaster, and
being informed that they could only deposit 500
each they went away saying: mo good to Take
too many months to make deposits back when

At Frostburg, Nd, Italian who deposited $50 Of
fered pay so cents for the certificate and when
told it did cost anything and that bis deposit
would also draw interest, he much pleased. At
Ohio ONCE Syrian woman tried TO deposit 1910.
and at Oroville Cal, number of foreigners offered
from $1,000 to $4,000 each. which. of course, was
impossible. At Ashtabula, o., foreigner from
gainesville with $500, and at Globe Arz the post
master says that his depositors amount
of money held as follows: American, English, Aus
trian, German, Russian, Mexican and Swedish. At
many of the places interpreters have asked for
literature the system, saying that they want to ex
plain it to the foreign laborers of their settlement,
while Dubois Pa two priests of foreign churches
there are studying the system, and say they Will
spread the among their flocks.
1t Runs Easy.
In my talk with the postmaster general and the
officials in charge of the bank here at Washington l
have been shown the system and the accounts of its
operation to date. The increase in number of de-
positors and amount of deposits is rapidly growing
and that to every branch of the business The de-
poss OF the stations first opened have larger ratio
of increase every week. and the growth at the new
stations is proportionately rapid the present is
the deposits at the fortyeght original postoces
at the close of from their opening will
amount to over 100000, and If the system should
be extended to all the money order Offices It will at
the ratio at the end of the year thereafter
have something like 5000 900 900 on deposit
In the building OF new postofhces the government
will put in special Offices for the savings banks This
will be the in the postofhce at Washington
ID. c., which is to be built, and eventually sim
liar arrangements will have to be made in all the
large cities.
The most surprising feature OF the work so far IA
the ease with which It is handled. The new banks
running without complications. There have been
no objections from the local savings institutions and
the postonices promise to bring amount of new
money into circulation. Indeed the postal savings
bank is the greatest financial of this admins
