There were lot of trunks and boxes

SAVING MONEY AGAINST

The indictments that have been
launched by Whitman against Henry
Siegel and Frank r. Vogel have ap-
parently terminated the interesting
career of one of our self-made mer-
chants. For even if he escapes the
ten year sentence that may await
him. how will he induce the S6 a
week shop girl to deposit her savings
under mis- fatherly care? Siegel said
that he regarded the money in the
bank as his" money In loyalty TO
their employer the depositors should
agree with him. They had been eX-
horted to be thrifty as we'll as indus
trious and to lay aside a portion of
the weekly Sc against a rainy day,
and the only question that has arisen
in their minds is whose rainy day
this referred 10.
We must pass over the scenes that
