OPENING A BANK ACCOUNT

The days of the teapot depository for money have passed, or are rapidly passing away, and the provincial stocking is no longer considered seri- ously.
 Comparatively few financiers or business men carry more than few dollars in their pocketbooks or at home, and they seldom, if ever, pay a bill except by bank check.
 The millionaire and the man of ex- tensive business do not often see or handle more than a few hundred dol lars in bills year.
 Comparatively few wholesale busi- ness houses carry in their money drawers or safes more than hundred
 National banks and trust companies have become the Repositories for cash, and practically all of the business of the world, today, is done by check and draft
 Bills have little circulation except for small transactions or in the re- tail stores and for pay rolls. Even in the last named case many employees receive their weekly or monthly wages or salary by check
 Even when national banks and trust companies fail, the depositors seldom suffer any loss, because they are pre- ferred creditors.
 All banks of deposit are subject to examination by the United States gov, ernment or their state governments, and most of them are conservative, few of them taking speculative chances in the investment of their money. At any rat. money deposited in national bank or trust company is far safer than that carried on the person or in the bureau drawer.
 Nearly all the national banks and trust companies pay from 1N to 2 per cent interest on daily balances of sums from $500 to $500.
 I should advise every young man and every young woman in business to open an account in some national bank or trust company. If you have any doubts as to the standing of the bank. ask the advice of two or three leading merchants, who are likely to kEow the reputation of all financial institutions within their city or town.
 The advantages of carrying a de posit subject to check are:
 l. Your money is safe.
 2. It gives you ready money with out tie danger of loss.
 8. You can pay your bills by check, which is the better way, as the check in itself is receipt.
 A. It assists in establishing your credit.
 5. Acouaintance with bank officials is always advantageous. They are the most acceptable of references
 Savings bank deposits are not sub ject to check, and cannot be used for the payment of bills Soprr savings banks require a notice of withdrawal. although the majority of banks waive this right
 The savings bank is for the laying away of money. while the national bank and trust company should be used as a convenience.
 Most national banks and trust com panies will open an account for a sum as low as s2OO or $500. and some will accept even $10O.
 Many man is known by his bank.

IN NEW HEBRlDEs WlLDs
Tastes of the Natives Are Very Grad. ually Being Weaned From
 Humans to Pigs.

Many of the natives of these islands are employed upon the plantations Of the white men, but the majority live the lives of primitive beings in the jungle, where the chiefs rule with rods of iron for the most part. To have killed a man, no matter in what way, IS a great honor, and gives the right to wear special plume of white and black feathers.
 It is in the recruiting of workers for the plantations that many abuses arise, London TitBits says. lntoxi- eating liquor plays part in this traffic and, where fair means fail in the securing of hands. foul methods are introduced. and fragrant kidnap- irg is by no means uncommon.
 Describing one worker on the plan tations named Bourbaki, pr Speiser explains that, before the native en- listed. he had been a professional mur- derer and provider of human flesh to his chief.
 He was one of the few natives, writes the doctor, who openly ad- mitted his liking for human flesh. A year ago. when visiting his village, he had been inconsolable because heshad come day late for cannibal feast!"
 And on these islands, only few days sail from Sydney. there are pyg my races. Volcanoes there are. and wonderful lagoons. Forest covered mountains and green plateaus may be seen, and there are beach villages whose inhabitants spend greater part of their time actually in the sea-

LITTLE IMPORTANT THINGS.

The store was on fire. The fire de- partment had left card in the of | flee. locating the nearest alarm box; but somebody had mislaid the card or thrown it into the waste basket. No body knew where the nearest lire alarm box was, and fifteen minutes of time was wasted hunting for 1t.
 A telegram arrived at ten o'clock requesting the head of the firm to be in another city on the morrow. At 10:30 o'clock a limited train left the city, arriving at it's destination at two o'clock the next afternoon. The next train was not due to arrive until after the close of business. The telephone was out of order, and there wasn't a time table in the office. When one was procured, the 10:30 limited had departed.
 There were half a dozen rugs upon the parlor floor, and no water close by. The wife's dress caught fire from a lighted match. Her hus- band ran for water, instead of wrap ping one of the rugs about her. She is
 
 hundreds of others, didn't know what to do.
 One of the woman clerks in the office fell in faint Her compan- ions lifteds her from the floor and supported her head, instead of laying her down with her feet slightly ele- vated. It was some time before she recovered consciousness. How few people know what to do in similar em- ergencies!
 Johnnie had sore throat. Mother thought it might be serious, but grand mother differed from her. They bound it in liniment and applied other home remedies, instead of sending for the doctor It was oiphtheria but the doc tor was not called in until few hours before Johnnie died.
 Thousands upon thousands of peo- pie have neglected the symptoms and invited the disease, instead of placing themselves in the hands of a reputa- ble physician.

 Miss Smith was stenographer She didn't know how to spell certain word, and she inquired Of dozen fellow-elerks, none of whom could spell it.

 If man treated his machine as he treats his stomach, the machine would be out o1 order most of the time He enters restaurant, orders a dish, does not like the taste of it, thinks it may not be fresh, but eats it, and ptomaine poisoning keeps him in bed for a week or more. He would not treat his engine that, way, but then an engine isn't human and must be cared for.
 How many of those who work are thoughtful enough have an extra pair of stockings and shoes, or even another suit of clothes, in the office in case a sudden storm trenches them?

Judge Jacob Trieber. al an informal hearing in chambers. practically sus- tained the contention of the Arkansas Railroad Commission that the Frisco railroad should include in the tariff ased joint haul rates and switching charges, pending the hearing of it's rate case in St. Louis December 10.
 Judge Trieber issued an order sew eral months ago temporarily restrain ing the Railroad Commission from at. tempting to enforce it's new freighe tariff while the final hearing of the Frisco's petition for an injunction against the tariff is pending. The or. der provided that the railroad should use the court tariff compiled several years ago during the rate litigation, in which all Arkansas railroads were interested. However. it did not spe officially provide for joint haul rates or reciprocal switching charges.
 The Frisco, instead of including .:oint rates in it's tariff. has charged a combination of local rates on all ship ments handled on two roads. No switching charges were included, and when it was not convenient to place a car where 1t was wanted, it is said, shippers or recipients of freight have been compelled to haul their freight to or from the cars.
 The railroad contended that the courts order provided for the use Of the old court tariff ouiy on yoeal in tra-state hauls.
 John P. Streepey, assistant attorney general who represented the Railroad Commission, said that he believes a system of joint rates can be worked out which will be cheaper for the profitable to the railroad
