The Way Dollars Work.

We hope every young reader of the
item in Friday mornings issue, of the
old deposit book recently sent to the
Augusta Savings Bank. If they saw it,
we sincerely hope they read ii and
pondered over it's significance. If you
did not read it let us call your at
tention to it; it is a striking object
lesson as to the earning capacity of
dollars, when once you get them at
work for you.
ings Banks received the following let
ter, together with the deposit book:
81 am sending you herewith my
bank book No. -. Will you please
enter the dividends to date and
eblige. l do not wish to change the
book, as by reason of it's age it
has become of interest as a keep
sake The first deposit was made
when boy, and the first $500 |
ever owned. 1t is fifty-five years.
Have you many older ones?
SISneu--------
The deposit of So was made July 10,
1858, and there have been no deposits
or payments since that date. The bal
anee of the account is now $65.Ss up
to the first day of last February,
showing credit of interest to the S.
Of s6O.Ss, twelve times the amount of
the original deposit. This simply
shows what interest will do to an ac-
count when allowed to accumulate.
Better get few dollars working for
you; they may do you splendid service
in your declining years.

way of fighting men was nothing in COM
| parson with what he has done In the
| fighting of the enemies of man. The san
itary conditions of Cuba were horrible
when the Americans went there. Just a
little out from Havana there was leper
colony. The natives We're afraid to have
anything to DO with the leprous people.
Captain Huston got few men to help
| him and started in to clean up. He
cleaned up that leprous settlement until
1t was model establishment.
The roads of Cuba We're in a terrible
state of disrepair owing to the long years
, of war between the Spaniards and the Gu
bans. Captain Huston did some road re-
| pair work SUCH as the Cubans never had
seen before. They had the highest respect
for the American who was not afraid OF
any disease that men are heir to and who
could do more work than any half dozen
| men about him.
| The captain resigned from the army.
He liked Cuba. He likes a place where
there Is work to do. There is plenty of
1t to do in Cuba. The Cubans are ambi-
tious to do great things for the improve
ment Of their island. One of the things
| they wished done involved an expenditure
of $9S,00o000. 1t was road building and
general improvement spread out over a
! period of 81 years and with payments of
| So, 900 per year. The contract was
! given to Captain Huston. The engineer

and half In New York. He lives at the

That's rather an imposing name for the
boy who as Ransford d. Bucknam was
a homeless orphan in Maine less than 10
years ago. Bucknam Pasha is only 43

When he was only 8 or years old, he
started out to make his way in the world
He got to Duluth. Mimi, In some way

whom he applied was Captain Elliot of

wouldn't give the child employment, but
gave a home TO him and later adopted
him.
The youngster had a love for sailing
craft. Before he was fully grown he made
a trip to Australia in a sailing. ship and
afterward he commanded a vessel on the
Great Lakes. Then he got a job with the
Cramps of Philadelphia and rose to be
superintendent of one of their depart

the building of some Of the warships of
our new navy.
Less than 10 years ago he took cruiser
that was built In the Cramp yards across
the ocean to deliver to his majesty, the
Sultan of Turkey. Old Abdul Hamid was

handling that armored cruiser. so he
asked Bucknam If he would take the job.

"Rosamond felt himself beginning to
know a great deal about the world, espe-
cially in discovering what, when she was
in her unmarried girlhood had been In
conceivable to her except as a dim trag-
edy in bygone costumes, that a woman,
even after marriage. might make con-
quests and enslave men. At that time
young ladies in the country read little
French literature later than Racine, and
public prints had not cast their present
magnificent illumination over the scan
dals of life. Still, vanity, with n woman s
whole mind and day to work in can con-
struct abundantly on slight hints, espe-
cially on such hint the possibility of
indefinite conquests. How delighted to

The Best Time to Be Alive

Every little while there comes to the
srrface an enthusiast with a dread like
that which lured the Spaniards when
America was young-the dream of perpet-
ual youth, The latest was a westerner
who promised himself by reason of q
certain regime Of diet and exercise. a life
span of at least 200 years, with a sneax-
ing hope of eternity. says the New Or
leans States.
Far be it from us to belittle the i'm
portance of living carefully and long.
But why put so much emphasis on youth.
as II only the morning life were worth
living2
Don't you suppose that white-bearded
grandpa, snoozing on the porch in the
shade, or watching the infants play, has
lad or maiden?
To be sure 1t is different kind which
happily is one of natures ways of insur-
ing interesting variety. But, his rough
work done. as the sun slowly goes to meet
the far horizon, he lives anew in the
young life about him and. out of passion
ashes, builds ripe philosophy.
Every time In life is good time to be
alive, for always you can feel, see and
learn. We are not at all convinced that
ripe old age isn't the best estate of all:
for then the heart is mellowed the mind
matured and the spirit seasoned. while
in the treasury of memory are stored IN
Vulnerable joys. the better for the IN
chantment which distance lends.
