The Servian Drum.

It seems that the men who play the
big drums in the Servian army bands
have an easier lot than the drummers
of other lands, since they do not have
to carry their own drums.
In nearly all cases. instead of being
slung in front of the man who plays it,
the instrument is put on small two
wheeled cart drawn by large dog. or
course, the drummer must play as he
marches, but the dog is SO well trained
that there is no difficulty in doing
this
The animal keeps his place even
through the longest marches, and the
drummer walks behind the cart, per-
forming on his instrument as he goes
along. Each regiment is provided with
two or three big drums, but few regt'
ments have band.

VILLA Is DEAD
SAYS STAFF OFFlt Err

IL Paso, Tex, March "A mem
Der of the staff of the Nilli3ta gen
eral, Tomas trbina. who arrived
here, says that Villa is dead, that
General Tomas Urbina, who Is a
compadre of Villa and his best
friend, says he was at the funeral
and that Villa was buried at san
Juan, a small village IN the state OF
Durango. which was his birthplace.
The same officer says Grbina Is
wearing crepe on his hat for villa
and Nor political reasons it IS NOT
deemed expedient to acknowledge
the death of Villa as many of the
Vjllistag would not support AnGe-
les. who is an ex-Federal. as their
leader.

Tor of Mexico several weeks ago

Iieyed if West demands confer

ing the Pennies.

OF all the nations the United States
seems to care least for saving pennies.
Not the government, but the individ-
nal. Measured by the number of say
ings bank depositors in proportion
to the entire population, this country
is far behind those of Europe, Japan,
Australia and New Zealand.
One reason for this is that in the
southern and western states the mum.
Der of savings banks is relatively few,
because the small banks serve the
same purpose in those sections. There
are approximately 100000 savings
aepostors in the United States and
almost threefourths of this number
are in the six New England states, and
IN New York, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
Vania, Delaware and Maryland

countries in this matter the govern

years ago should be included. They

not the same pressing necessity here
to count the pennies, it is nndoubted-

the experience of hard times occa-

WHY CHILDREN SEEK GIFTS
As Instructive for Them to Ask as
1t Is, or Should Be. for the
Adult to Give.

In the Woman's Home Companion
Charles E. Jefferson, pastor of Broad
way tabernacle in New York city,
writes talk entitled The JOY Of Re.
ceiving,' in the course of which he
explains why little children enjoy re-
ceiving more than giving. He says in
part;
In little children, the joy Of recelE.
ing outruns the JOY of giving. Chill
dren are born beggars. They come
into the world empry-handed, and they
stretch their hand to those who are
nearest them, expecting to receive.
It is instructive for child to ask, ana
it is instructive for an adult to re
spoud. The child's mind IS as empty
as it's hands. It's mind reaches out
with auestions-and what are qucs-
lions but hands of the mind ?-pleaG-
ing fer bits OF informat0a scraps OF
knowledge, donations Of light. II is a
pleasure to give to a child, but who
would dare say that ones pleasure in
giving eutstrips the child's pleasure in
receiving? Who is happier, do you
think, at Christmas. the child or the
parent?
