DEPOSITS OF POSTAL BANKS,

Two months after forty-eight postal
savings banks had been established,
1928 accounts had been opened and a
total of $l33, $50 had been deposited.
This figures up an average Of S36.54
per depositor.
In n statement issued Monday 10y the
postoffice department it is pointed out
that if the postal savings system proves
as popular after il has been established
in all money order postoflices, the total
amount on deposits after one years
operation will be about 5000, 100000.
If the forty-eight Offices already es-
tablished keepup their gain, the money
on deposit there after one years oper-
alton will amount to SS03.2li, despite
the fact that the total population OF
all the towns in question is only about
10000.
The postal savings bank at Leadvlle,
Col, stands first in this remarkable
record, with 3G3 accounts, total de-
posit of S2l ,253, and an average per
depositor of S5s.7l. The Manitowoc

JUSTICE BARNES IN
ROLE OF SOLOMON
From Milwaukee Sentinel)

Madison, Wis, March l5-tarmerS
of the town of Oakland, Jefferson
county, are as warmly discussing law
suit which has just been decided by the
Wisconsin Supreme court as New York
people talk about international al
liances.
This self-same suit gave Associate
Justice John Barnes, who wrote the
opinion of the high court, chance to
show that he is a good humorist as
well as a good jurist.
The facts in this odd case, as stated
by Justice Barnes, were as follows:
"On Sept. II, 1907, the plalntiff
Farmer Albin Kopplin) was the own
er of a thoroughbred Holstein-Friesian
heifer which was born on Jan. s. 1906
and had thereafter been duly christen-
ed Martha Pieterje Pauline The
name is neither euphonious nor musi-
cal, but there isn't much in name
anyway.
Notwithstanding any handicap she
may have had in the way of a cogno-
men, Martha Pieterje Pauline was a
genuine 'highbrow, having a pedigree
as long and at least as well authenti-
Gated as that of the ordinary scion of
etfete European nobility who breaks
into this land of democracy and equal
ity and offers his title to the highest
bidder at the matrimonial bargain
counter.
''The defendant Farmer Albert
Quade) was the owner of Il bull about
year old, lowly born and nameless as
| far as the record discloses. This
plehian, having aspirations above his
humble station in life, wandered
beyond the confines of his own pasture
and sought the society of the adole-
scent and unsophisticated Martha, con-
trary to the provisions of section ,4S2
of the statutes of 1898, as amended by
chapter ii of the laws of 1908. AS a
| result of this morganatic misalliance,
calf was born July 5, 1908.
"Plaintitf Farmer Kopplin) brought
action to recover resulting damages
| and secured a verdict for $75, upon
| which judgment was entered and the
defendant Farmer Quade) appealed
therefrom. The plaintiff
Farmer Kopplin) offered testimony
tending to show that he kept and in
tended to keep Martha for breeding
purposes and for the milk which she
mipht produce ard rot for sale.
''It also showed that the plaintiff
Farmer Kopplin) was the owner of a
blue -blooded bull of the Holstein-Fries-
ian variety, to which he intended to
breed Martha some three months
later than the date of the unfortunate
occurrence related.
"There was evidence tending to
show that thoroughbred calf would
be worth all the way from So 80 to
$50, depending on its sex, markings
and other characteristics.
'Its sinister birth disqualified the by.
brid calf born from becoming candi.
date for pink ribbons at county fairs
and it was sold to a Chicago butchel
for 81 and was probably served up as
pressed chicken to the epicures in
some Chicago boarding house."
Justice Barnes follows with a discus
sion of the testimony regarding the
damages suffered by Farmer Kopplir
and concludes that the amount fixed
by the jury, $75, was about right, and
the high court affirmed the judgment
for that amount
