,nds in China and Manchuria, ha

ands in China and Manchuria, has
been placed upon a little animal
closely resembling the American
woodchuck, by experts studying the
source of the scourge.
This Chinese woodchuck has long
been known as subject to the plague,
the infection being transmitted by
the fleas always present on the bod
les of the animals. From them, it
was communicated to trappers in
Eastern Mongolia and thence spread
through all Manchuria.
Had it not been for the mercenary
in the makeup of the Chinese over
coming religious scruples, the
plague would not now be ravaging
the p%opulous regions. In the
rast, the Chinese would not kill the
animal, which they call han tie an
for supersitious n religious reasons.
The animals live in burrows, in col
onies of about fifty each, and their
habits resemble those of the Ameri-
can prairie dog. The Chinese say
that when the animal is about to
leave It's burrow, and suspects an en-
envy nearby, 1t omits a sound like
''pu p'ah, pu p'ah," meaning mo fear,
nc fear" and then returns into its
hole. The Chinese also say that
when a trapper is about to kill the
live w~oodchuck in his trap, the ami
NAL emits the same sound, and ii was
this apparently uncanny phenomenon
which inspired the Chinese with fear
of the animal.
In the last two years, however,
their superstitions have bee over
come by the high price of marmot
skins. The number of trappers has
increased from practically none at all
to ten thousand this year.
This year the trappers brought
the skins to Hardin, and undoubted-
ly brought h plague infection,
transmitted from the fleas infesting
the animals with them. From Har-
bin, after selling their catch, many
took trips to the south, and thus the
plague vas spread from Hardin to the
sea coast.

JOHN WANAMAKER'S
GOLDEN JUBILEE

The name of John Wanamaker Is
indicative of big things, big ideas,
big enterprises. At the very begin
ming of his business career he show
ed the big qualities Of mind n
heart which have made his business
what II Is today.
The first days receipts of the little
store which he opened In Philadel-
phia fifty years ago were $24.67. He
kept the 81 cents for making change
next day." and Immediately spent the
s24 for newspaper advertising.
That investment took courage, a
bigger amount of courage than the
expenditure Of ten thousand times the
amount would cost him now. 1t
meant, too, a big confidence In his
goods and a big knowledge Of hui
nan nature.
This year Mr.. Wanamaker com
pletes a full half century Of business
life, and his associates nav celebrated
the occasion by publishing a volume
called The Golden Book of the John
Wanamaker Stores.
The volume is library size, hand
somely bound in cloth and gold and
contains over 400 pages with numer-
Gus illustrations. Price SO cents, post
paid, from the Wanamaker Stores at

LIKES POSTAL BANKS.
Hitchcock Asks for 100000 to
Extend the Service.

Washington. Feb. eff the neces-
sary appropriations were available, I
would establish savings banks tomor-
row in 500 additional cities and towns
cf the United States
This statement was made by Post
master General Hitchcock in view 3f
reports of the first months operation
of postal savings system. The reports
are most gratifying to Mr.. Hitchcock.
They are regarded as demonstrating
that the new system already has
passed the experimental stage.
The certificate OF deposit plan which
is an innovation in the transaction of
postal savings business, is shown to be
admirably adapted to It's purpose. 1t is
readily understood by depositors and
is easily handled by postmasters-
The total deposits in the 48 existing
postal banks for the month of January
will approximate 100000 This is an
average of about 81 200. Assuming that
this average will be maintained
throughout the year, the aggregate Of
| annual deposits will be close to three
quarters of a million dollars. 1t is as
that the deposits will be correspond
ingly greater when the service is ex-
| tended to first class offices.
-he average amount of deposits be-
| ing received at each office, as indicated
by the January returns, is larger than
| The COIISSDOIIQ1AS ctNOl dSS III lAA~
British system of postal savings de-
| I itories in 1908 the most successful
year in the history of that system.
! A large majority of the depositors in
January were foreign Americans,
many of whom have been in the habit
of sending their savings to their native
countries. An important result of the
system, therefore, is to diminish the
outflow from the United States of such
! funds.
| In view of the successful operation of
the new system during it's first month,
Postmaster General Hitchcock has rec
commended to congress the appropria-
| ton of one million dollars to be imme-
! diately available for the extension
of the postal savings system to con-
siderable number OF postoffices, the
patrons of which are clamoring for the
new banks.
