The Boy and the Bank Account.

There are several factors that are
responsible for the making Of an in
dustrious and thrifty man out of an
active and wide awake boy, and one
of the most important of thes5 is
getting the boy to start bank ac-
count of his own in his early teens or
before. Not only should the lad be
encouraged to put most of the money
he earns on deposit in such an &C
count, but it will help to still further
encourage him if the fund is increased
a bit now and then By those most
interested in him. The having and
building up of such a bank account
will not only make boy saving and
thrifty, but he will at the same time
learn the value of a dollar, while the
incentive he will have to add to the
sum on deposit will keep him from
spending foolishly the money he
earns. -Ex.

How to Write on Trains.

A woman who travels great deal
and who does a considerable amount
of literary work during her travelling
time has hit upon novel idea which
makes writing possible, no matter
how jolly the train or the road.
F'I find that I can write better
my thoughts come easier on the train
than at any other time. But for a
long time l was troubled about over
coming the motion of the car in writ
ing. / could not read my own notes,
I often found. One night after l had
gone to bed i'll my berth I had a
sudden idea for story which had
been puzzling me and decided to
write it while the spirit moved
me. so to say.
IT took my pillow for pad rest
and wrote out the story Next morn
ing I was surprised to see that the
writing was clear and almost as even
as if written on my desk at home. ]
thought the matter over and conclud-
ed that the pillow was the solution.
You see, the pillow absorhs the
motion of the car and makes a very
stable rest. Now | always carry a
small pillow IN my travelling bag

Getting Eggs in Winter.

Keep the hens busy if you would
get winter eggs. The ben that eats
her fill and goes back on the roost Will
not lay many eggs during the winter.
The science of feeding has been work
ed out by many of the experiment
stations and colleges, but nowhere
better than at Cornell university.
Prof. Charles A. Rogers. in an address
to Connecticut poultrymen, explained
their method of feeding which has
given some wonderfully good records.
In the morning the hens are fed
219 to 8 pounds mixed grains for 100
Leghorns. At noon green feed or
green cut bone is given and the
hoppers of dry mash are opened.

1000 LIVES IN
PERIL ON LINER
Steamer Uranium Goes on
Rocks in Halifax Harbor.
WATER FILLS FORWARD HOLD
No Panic Results From Mishap Among
Passengers, Mostly Emigrants-
All Are Taken Off in
Safety.

Halifax, N. S., Jan. 13.-The lives Of
nearly 1000 passengers were imper-
lied when the Uranium Steamship
company's setamer Uranium, Captain
Juck, bound from Rotterdam for Hall
fax, struck on the lodges quarter OF
a mile north of Chebucto Head, on the
southeastern shore of Halifax harbor.
Dense fog with a stiff south wind
prevailed when the ship drove her
bow on the rocks. Being single
skinned ship, the plates soon gave way
and the forward hold Immediately
filled with water.
No Panic Ensues.
Despite the fact that the passengers
were all foreigners, being Russians,
Germans and Poles principally, there
was no panic aboard. Some of the
women and children became greatly
excited. but the fears of these were al
layed by the officers, who told them
that they we're within few feet of the
shore.
The Iifeboats were all made ready
for launching and signals we're sent
up for assistance. The life-saving
crews were at once rushed to the
scene from the nearby shore stations.
All available craft was dispatched from
Halifax in response to wireless calls
from the ship for help.
Wireless Brings Assistance.
The first intimation that the light
house keeper had of the wreck was
through wireless from Camperdown.
He Immediately went out to the scene
in a rowboat anu after rowing round
the steamer returned to the shore.
where he reported to c. H. Harvey,
agent of the Marine Fisheries and the
steamship agents, who Immediately ar
ranged to send relief in the form of
several towboats and the steamer
Lady Laurier.
Mr. Harvey sent out instructions to
the captain of the ship to take the
passengers off the Uranium on arrival
of the towboats and the Lady Laurier.
Tt was 2:4O o'clock when the first tow
boat, the Scotsman, arrived, being fol-
lowed by the Togo, the Bridgewater
and the Lady Laurier.
All Passengers Are Safe.
The first load of passengers was
taken off by the Scotsman and con
veyed to the Lady Laurier by 4:3O
o'clock, the Bridgewater taking pas
sengers off at the same time by laying
alongside the ship. At six o'clock the
Lady Laurier left for Halifax with 600
passengers aboard
The position of the steamer was in
a small cove north of Chebucto light
house. The shore is very bold where
she struck. The bow was eight feet
out of water. The steamer struck at
nearly full tide. The engines were
kept working until the tide reached
the ebb when it was useless to make
any attempt to back off. Although
there was over 16 fathoms of water
under the after portion of the Uranium
the bow, which was gashed open, was
sufficiently high out of water to ex-
pose the turn of the stern
1t is not known just how the
Uranium happened to go on the rocks
with the fog whistle of the lighthouse
blowing at regular intervals.

Paying Income Tax.

The Wisconsin Tax commission,
through its secretary. has recently
issued a little phamphlet entitled,
Offset of Income Tax by Personal
Property Tax The substance of
the paper is as follows:
The income tax is payabls to the
town, city and village treasurers at
the same time and place as the
property tax.
When the income tax and the
personal property tax are both assess
ed in the same district and the tax
payer is not assessed for income tax
in any other district. the taxpayer
will simply pay the larger tax and
obtain two receipts, one for personal
property and one for income tax.
If the taxpayer wishes to use a
personal tax receipt issued in one
district to offset income tax assessed
in another district, the following
procedure should be observed
/. Secure a separate personal
property tax receipt and have the
treasurer endorse on the amount used
to offset income tax in that district.
2. Present or mail this personal
tax receipt to the Assessor of Incomes
of the county in which it was issued
and apply for special offset receipts
covering the balance of personal
property tax. In Milwaukee City,
apply first to Income Tax Teller, City
TIeasurer's Office.
3. This application should state
the amount desired for offset in each
district in which the taxpayer has
income tax to pay, giving them the
correct name of such district and the
county in which situated.
4. Offset receipts for balance Of
personal property tax will be issued
with coupons. which coupons will be
only for the amount entered upon
them and in the district for which
they are issued.
D. Inc taxpayer snould pay MS
personal property taxes in time to
secure special coupon receipts from
the Assessor of Incomes and forward
to the local treasurer against whom
they are issued Penalties are i'm
posed if the taxes are not paid on or
before January 81, 1913
6. Ordinary personal property tax
receipts will not be received in Offset
in districts other than that in which
issued.
z. The exact name is important.
For instance, a-frm cannot use its
personal property tax receipt to
offset the income tax of irs mem be1s.
s. 1t is common practice to
write personal property tax receipt
at the bottom of real estate receipt.
Taxpayers should therefore request a
separate personal tax receipt when
ever they wish to use the latter to
secure the special offsets mentioned
above.

pleasing entertainment to q faiF

theater Saturday night.
Those two premiers OF minstrelsy,
pockstader and Primrose, were, Of
course the chief attraction and they
kept the audience in one continuous
uproar of laughter from start to mn

Primrose was loudly applauded as
was the funny monolugue OF Lew
Dockstader.
The Musical Browns are deserving
OF especial mention. This team OF
musicians captivated the audience
with their excellent rendition of sew

there was enough comedy injected in
to this act to keep the crowd laugh

THE first part was filled with ex-

setting for this part was thing Of
