THE TROUBLE AGE.

We nave and move and move,
And keep on moving more.
TIL new abodes appear
Familiar as Of yore,
And greatly we SUSPECT
We lived In them before.
We change and change and change,
With trbulations sore.
With Bridget. Mary Ann.
And other queens galore.
Until we're almost sure
We've had that cook before.
We love and love and love,
Each week new hearts adore,
With Harry Tom, and Dick.
And others BY the score,
Until we vaguely feel
We've worn that ring beforei

So far the money that is being put
into the postal savings bank is money
that has been hidden away i'll child
rem s savings banks, old stockings, be-
tween mattresses or wherever the po-
SCISSORS decided that it would be SAT-
est and the predictions of the advo-
Gates Of the postal banking system that
the establishment Of the banks would
bring large amounts of money into cir
culation without interfering in any way
with the regular banks seems likely to
be verified. Moreover, nothing is more
certain than that in the end the pri-
waite banks will benefit and that large
amounts of money will be restored to
circulation through the regular chan
nels that never could have been reached
in any other way than by the starting
of the postal savings banks. Uncle
Sam pays but two per cent on deposits
and the thousands of foreigners and
timid depositors to whom the postal
banks are giving confidence and teach
ing the banking habit and methods of
doing business will soon be reaching
out for the higher rate Of interest paid
by the private institutions and opening
accounts with them.

JEWEL FOR PAST COMMANDER
Fred Fisher Who Was the First Chan
cellor Commander of the haywood
Lodge Gets Tardy Recognition of His
Work Many at Banquet.


Kenosha members of the Knights of
Pythias had one of the most interest
ing meetings in the history of the lodge
on Wednesday evening when nearly a
hundred visiting knights from Illinois
cities came to Kenosha to attend a
meeting at which the rank of Esquire
was conferred upon Carl Roberts. Mr..
Roberts is a member of the Haywood,
Illinois lodge and twenty-five members
of that lodge came to the city to assist
the Kenosha team in doing the work.
With them came an equal delegation
from the Melrose Park lodge and a
large number of the members of the
Homan lodge in Chicago.
Fred Fisher, Chancellor Commander
of the Kenosha lodge was the first
Chancellor Commander of the lodge at
haywood and the meeting last night
was sort of a gathering with Fisher
as the guest of honor.
After the degree had been fully con-
ferred on the candidate the Chancellor
Commander of the haywood lodge pre-
sented Mr.. Fisher with Past Chancel-
lor's jewel. At the time he gave up
his office at the Illinois city more than
sixteen years ago he was entitled to the
jewel as the gift of the Grand Lodge
of Illinois, but he never received it,.
Members of the haywood lodge tooR
up the matter with the Grand Lodge
and only a shor time ago the Grand
Lodge voted to issue the jewel. Fol
lowing the presentation of the jewel
a banquet was spread in the dining room
of the hall at which covers were laid
for hundred and fifty members of
the order. In addition to the delega-
tions from the Illinois cities there were
smaller, delegations from Racine, La
Sale, Ill, and Torrington, Conn.
After dinner was over Judge Joseph
r. Clarkson was introduced as toast
master and for the next hour the
.Pythians listened to speeches from
members of the various visiting delega-
stions.
When the talking was over an in
formal smoker was inaugurated which
continued until early morning.
In all the gathering proved to be one
of the most enjoyable gatherings of the
Knights ever held in the city.

Either the assessors are doing re-
markedly satisfactory work or the tax
payers in general are not aware Of the
fact that they must investigate their
assessments for themselves and If they
have any complaint to make appear be-
fore the board of review in person.
Let us hope the former. So far the
board has held half dozen meetings
and hardly any complaints on the as
sessment have been received and it has
not been found necessary to change q
single assessment. The council has laid
down the rule that no rebates will be
allowed after the levy has been made
and that all taxes will be collected on
the assessment as passed by the board,
but this declaration has not had the
effect of increasing the number Of tax
payers appearing before the board as
it was expected to do.
