RED TAPE AND A BATH.
Curious Experience Of Visitor In
Little French Town.

Curious Experience OF VISITOR In
Little French Town.
st. Lo, little town In the Manche
department in France, has no public
bath house such as those found in most
French towns and cities, for the pri-
vate bath in France is yet, as it were,
in its infancy. The youngsters of the
town battle in the Wire, but the $4,000
other inhabitants think themselves
above such thing as bath. Visitors
can get bath, it is true, but they must
order four liters of water. all that they
are permitted, and it is taken to them.
Not long ago visitor in the town
wished to take bath. He went to the
hospital to ask permission to take a
bath there. as in Brittany this is the
custom in towns where there is no pub
lie accommodation. The visitors re-
quest was received rather coldly. and
he was told that he would have to
make his request in writing to the d.
rectors Of the hospital. This he did and
patiently awaited a response. None
came. and the visitor left town
Two days later the response came
and followed him from town to town
throughout France. not catching up
with him until be had returned to
Paris.
The response was as follows:
M. - is exceptionally authorized
to take a bath at the hospital on con-
dition that he Is able to justify by a
medical ordinance that this medica-
ment is necessary to his state Of
health" -Exchange.

How far do the peculiar senses
of animals enable them to read us
and understand US as we can
neither read nor understand them?
There is no doubt that our intel
lectual powers almost infinitely
surpass theirs but they have gifts
which we do not possess. A squir-
rel flirting and chattering under
hazel tree in the autumn, is guild
ed by some mysterious sense,
which enables him to pick out all
the sound nuts, never making
mistake, while we can discover the
false ones only by cracking them.
The animals foresee the weather

scientific equipments are poWerless
to enable us to do. Can they look
inside the human shell also? Can
they penetrate the essential char
acter of men better than Shake

trainers who would probably an

From whatever point of view we
regard them, the relations of men

T is easy to become rich on pa
per. You begin to figure, and
all at once the result is amaz-
ing. But to get down to business
and put savings aside every little
while, say, for 80 years, is a severe
strain.
Every one of these years has its
burden to pay for, it's temptations
that waste money, it's unexpected
demands that can never be accu-
rately taken into account.

quent sacrifices, forehandednes to
meet the unexpected In short, it
is a game that requires a brave
and skillful player.
II
In talking this over with a bank
president, he said to me:
Tell people to carry two saw
ings accounts both in safe savings
banks. These two accounts have
two distinct purposes:
81. An Emergency Fund.
"2. A Permanent Reserve Fund.
The purpose of having two ac-
counts instead of one, is this:
MANY people start a savings
bank account with great hope and
some persistence. They expect to
leave their money undisturbed, and
to benefit in the future by the in
terest it earns. But some unex-
pected demand comes along, the
savings are withdrawn from the
bank, the interest stops, AND THE
MOTION OF THAT MONEY TO-
WARD FORTUNE CEASES.
Hence I suggest two savings
accounts. The emergency fund
should be used only when earnings
are not sufficient to tide over a
particularly hard place, only when
some unavoidable expense comes
up that can not otherwise be met.
If a man thinks he can save SO a
month, let him put twenty per
cent of 1t aside for the emergency
fund and the balance in the per-
manent reserve fund.
IF he is working on a long, dis
lance plan we can afford to be pa
tient and let the two accounts grow
slowly. Note how his accounts will
stand in the even years up to the
tenth, without counting interest:

it. Even the small sum OF $4S
which he will have in two yearu
may help him over a hard place
and prevent his drawing against hts
reserve of 1872 in the same year.
This protects the interest of his
reserve fund, and it keeps growing
steadily without interruption for
his old age.
Il would advise the man who
saves on this plan to limit the
TOTAL amount of his emergency
fund to one-fourth of his total an
nuaI expenses on the lowest basis
he can figure them That is. if his
expenses are $3.50, his emergency
fund should be about $115 This
amount represents three months
expenses, and with this insurance
in hand he can readily tide over a
break.
again, if some day he actually
must have more money than his
emergency fund amounts to he can
arrange to borrow against the re-
serve fund without actually draw
ing his money from deposit. This
will keep his interest account ac-
tive on the entire amount and he
should repay the loan as additional
expense. making any sacrifice he
can. except ceasing to save the
monthly amount he has decided on.
Now, them he concluded, tell
them two other facts;
First, this sounds easy and rea-
sonable. but it is really very diff
cult, for it requires sticking to a
definite purpose for a long time 1t
is only the exceptional person who
can do that,
Second, the plan works relative
ly just as favorably for the man
~ -,r-o,, ,,,, ,loII,, g, r,-aal- nc for
him who saves a thousand dollars
a year. The value of the scheme
lies in the continuous, unbroben ei.
fort: not in the amount of savings
involved.
q should look for greater success
in the end on the part of the poor
man who saves a little regularly
than of the man better off who
saves larger sums only when the
notion seizes him.
"The one thing that makes mon
ev grow is time. To get more than
a dollar out of a savings bank you
must leave your dollar alone, ana
and let time work on it.
80 you see that successful saw
ing. even in small amounts, depends,
less on a mans money than it does
on his character"

MAY PURCHASE ARMY
REMOUNTS FROM BIC
ISLAND STOCK FARMS

Captain Clyfford Game, depot quar-
termaster, U. S. A., has returned from
Hawaii where he looked over the Barker
and Horner horse ranches to ascertain
the number and character of horse flesh
which might be available for army
service.
The officer found splendid stock on
both ranches, and in point of fitness,
age, height and weight, the horses will
compare with any mounts brought here
from remount stations maintained on
the mainland by the army. The only
question will be whether horses can be
bought on the mainland and shipped
here cheaper than they can be landed
here from the big Hawaii estates.
About fifty horses were bought for
the cavalry two years ago from the Ha.
wall ranches and they have maintained
their reputation as good mounts.
Horses which pace on single foot are
not eligible for selection, but clippers"
are all right as military discipline will
put them into the trotting class.
1t is quite likely that large number
of the mounts which may be needed by
the cavalry at Schofeld Barracks will
be purchased from the Big Island
ranches.

WORLD RESORT
PLANNED FOR
VOLCANO
Monster Hotel Here
and on Hawaii
Is Scheme
STEAMER LINE ALSO
Biggest Thing Ever
Contemplated in
Islands
STEAMER LINE ALSO

"Biggest of all the development
plans ever contemplated in these Isl
.ands,'' is the way the plan of a big
Coast syndicate for a monster hotel in
Honolulu and at the Volcano is char
aeterized by men in position to
know. The details of the plan are as
yet vague but enough came to light
here Friday to show that the scheme
has passed the stage of promotion and
is actually under way toward accom-
plishment.
For instance, it is known that Rob
ert w. Single is closely allied with the
members of the big syndicate, composed
for the most part of leading bonifaces
from Los Angeles, San Francisco, Seat
tie and Portland, which has the plan
in hand. 1t was also learned that an
option has been taken upon the Hilo
Hotel and upon the Volcano House as
well as upon land here in Honolulu. MI.
Single was interviewed last night and
asked for details, but declined to make
any statement for publication.
els the plan bigger than outlined,
asked the reporter.
ri must refuse to say" said he of
the silver tongue and ever ready smile.
care you interested in the plan'"
Greatly, you will have to excuse me.
1 can say nothing, absolutely nothing
for publication" said Mr.. Shingie.
At the Volcano.
The plan contemplates the building
of monster hotel on the site of the
present Volcano House. The hotel will
form the center on one Of the greatest
world health and pleasure resorts west
of Newport or Bar Harbor. There will
be, it is understood, great parked
grounds and the most modern accesso-
ries to the hostelry, including vapor
baths and the like
So far have the plans progressed that
the members of the syndicate, who are
still keeping their names secret, will
visit here in June for trip over the
property, which will enable them to
give more attention to the details of
the building. The hotel to be built here
will be in many respects as large and
as fine as anything on the Coast. The
location of the site is another of the
secrets which will be revealed later.
Steamship Line Too.
While the hotel and parking features
of the plan are big in themselves the
syndicate does not intend to stop short
there. 1t wants an additional steamer
service to the Hawaiian Islands and
according to the information to hand
will secure it by starting a line of
steamers direct from San Pedro to the
private wharyes OF the company at
Hilo. The company also contemplates
building large private wharf at the
California port.
Still another indication of the size
and Importance of the plan comes when
it is announced that the Hilo railroad
Intends to build an extension to the
Volcano as soon as the hotel is built
and the park started. L. A. Thurston,
general manager of the railroad, is
quoted as saying that the "plan is the
biggest thing ever contemplated for
the development and improvement of
Hawaii"
