saloons paying thousand dollars license each. This
amount together with the taxes, supposed to have
been used to pay the expenses OF the village but
to get along better without the license money
than did with it. When the wet board went out of
office the village $500 in debt and nearly all of
the spring tax money had been spent. Two and three
years later I village treasurer and when turned
the books my successor the dry board had paid
the $500 indebtedness and had $Ioo in the treasury

Dummies had been dressed in mems clothing and placed in such position that the head was covered. As soon as the clerks entered in the early morning, the sup posed dead men were discovered and the police authorities notified in good faith by the unSuspecting clerks. Of course, it was quickly learned that the scare was the work of alleged practical jokers but not before the re- port had spread rapidly of the finding of the dead bodies of two strange men.

THRIFT AND THE MAN.
Self Help and Self Respect Allied TO
Good Citizenship.

Self Help and Self Respect Allied 20
Good Citizenship.
Thrift is an essential and imperative
part Of good citizenship
The man who sets aside a few pence
or shillings every week or every month
is not only making future provision
for himself, his children or others who
may be dependent on him: but. con-
sciously or unconsciously. he is at the
same time serving his country by help
ing to create type of character which
is one of the most valuable of national
assets.
He is setting an example of self com.
mand every time he fights down the
temptation to spend on some passing
pleasure the money which should be
reserved for more useful purpose
And self command means much in
good citizenship
He is setting an example of self
help He does not wait for something
to turn up. but sets to work resolute-
ly to improve his position in life by his
own exertions
He is setting an example of self re-
spect The saving of money honestly
earned fosters that spirit of sturdy in
dependence and confidence in ones
own powers which have played no
small part in building up the prosper
ity of this country.
In addition to the ethical value which
l have endeavored to indicate. the prac-
tice of thrift by individuals has a ma
terial value to the nation. The secu-
rity of the intricate fabric of national
credit depends to a very large extent
upon the reserve of capital accumu-
lated by those who invest in savings
banks and similar institutions. Sir t.
