"1t was in the second century afte, Christ that the humane custom ob
 tsined in Rome of permitting slaves
 to deposit extra earnings to create a fund for the final purchase of their
 freedom, and legion savings banks were provided under the Roman eun- pcrors for the accumulation of the soldiers"
 Today, we are not compelled tu save to purchase our freedom from master, but we must needs save to pcrchase freedom from worry, care Poverty and distress in old age.
 "De Malarce records" says MT. Harrison, "that the plan for a sav- lngs bank in Europe was first pro- pounded by Hughes Delestre, a 1renchman, in 1911. Every wage edrner was to be allowed to make deposits which he might withdraw IF whole or in part, as his need die tated. The deposit was to receive Simple interest. The repayment of deposits was to be made upon de- mand within a maximum period Of two weeks" The Frenchman, then, appears to be the father of the pres- ent-day savings bank system, for the plan followed has undergone little change. E,
 1t seems, however, that the Ger. inans were really the first to organ iza a savings bank, one being estab- lIshed in Brunswick in 1765 and known as 'fThe Ducal Loan Bank. In 177S this bank, says MT. Harrison, was reorganized from mere "charit- atle organization" into savings bank, designed for the special benefit "of the mere dependent of the in- distrial classes, such as servants, day laborers, hand-workers, seamen. etc :. for the collection and increase of small savings" according to descrip- ton of a writer of the time.
 The first savings bank was estab- llshed in the United States in 1S1S when there was a population of Only s,50O,0O0, and there were but 246 banks in the country. Today, there are 2100 savings banks with ten and a. half million epositors-whose say- ing aggregate the enormous sum of S',7OO,OO0,OO0. At that, the United States is near the bottom of the list ia the percentage Of savers to popu- lstipn as compared with other coun- tries.
 : The motive of thrift is selfish, but none the less laudable because of that fact. The person who accumu- li'tes wealth through saving is an asset to the community, instead of a liability as is the careless, ne'er-do- well, who may become a public charge when his earning power is lost.
 There's difference between being s;lngy and being thrifty. The stingv one becomes a miser, hoarding his wealth simply for the joy of posses sion-he deprives himself. of necessi- ties. and benefits none else; the thrifty person simply refrains from Wastefulness, spends his money care f3lly. getting a dollar in vaue for every dollar he spends, invests his savings in safe manner. and when he winter of life comes and he can ic longer toll he enjoys the fruit Of his early frugality.

THE TAIL WILL WAC THE DOG

The Progressive tail is going to wag the Republican dog. Make no mistake about that, says the Allen. town Democrat.
 Several weeks ago when the New York Tribune announced itself as be- ing in favor of Theodore Roosevelt for president it remarked that the former president held club over the Republican leaders and that he could force them to accede to his wishes. Roosevelt is displaying the club. He showed it the other day when the Progressive national committee de- cided to hold the national convention ir Chicago on the same day that the Republican national convention meets. The Progressive convention is the club that the colonel is going to use to drive the Republican elephant into submission. In other words, if the Republican national convention does not take Roosevelt the colonel will merely go next door to the Pro- z! essive convention and get nomi- ration. See the point?
 Weeks ago the Pennsylvania paper said that the colonel has the Republi- can leaders "hog tied" He has them WEere he wants them. and some of tkem are already showing the white feather and are beginning to crawl Roosevelt isn't such bad fellow after all," they say. and each day tbere is more Roosevelt talk among former standpatters who are again
 yearning for the polisicals fleshpots There are some people who imag-
 ined that because the Progressives

 Republicans have their convention Iard in the same city that the decision 'af the Progrsssives con;s as an oily,

NEWEST DAWSON DIGGINGS
 MAKE SOME HEADWAY

DAWSON, Jan. 15.-The following special telegram was received by the Dawson News from Isaac creek, the telegraph point for the new placer district forty-five miles from SelEirk.
 As far as can be ascertained at present regarding conditions nothing definite has developed here this last month. In a general way it is under stood that upper Rude, as far as it has been prospected, shows up satis- factorily Below discovery things are not so encouraging. On Dip no work has been done to prove anything. Only four outfits are working, namely on 30 above, 20 above, 3 below and 26 below, with no bedrock in sight. Isaac creek seems to attract the most attention from prospectors, where it is reported Potter & Greek on dis covery have struck pay in two holes which they have put down to bedrock. Now that several boilers have arrived and are distributed on the different creeks some developments may be ex- pected shortly.

AS JOHNNIE HEARD 1T.

Little jennie had been accus-
toned to go to sleep during every
sermon, despite the scolding of
his mother.
One Sunday morning she sent
him off to church and intimated
to him that if he went to sleep
they would go into executive
session in the woodshed on his
arrival from church.
As a test of his being away
she required that he tell her the
preachers text when he went
home.
Jonnie's natural propensity to
sleep was offset by his fear as to
what might happen In the wood
shed, so he stayed awake.
He came back conscious of the
fact that he was on the safe side,
and when his mother asked him
what the text was he unblush-
ingly accused the preach er of the
following text: "Moses was a
oyster man and made ointment
for the shins of his people" The
real text was: Moses was an
austere man and made atone
ment for the sins of his people"

Wooden Newspaper

Mrs. O. asks what is the matter
with the newspaper; it is very
brittle and can no longer be
''crumped" for polishing, besides
tearing at the least touch. 1t is
another testimony to the results
of the war in Europe. Paper is
becoming very scarce, and
material for making it is not to
be had, so the sheets Of news
paper that come into the home
are made of wood pulp. If one
looks closely, the little wood fib-
res may be seeen, especially in
the margins where printing does
not obscure them. The larger
part of the wood so used is
ground up, while some of it is re-
duced by the action of chemi-
Gals; the chemical pulp has the
longer fibres, and a certain
proportion of it is added to the
ground wood pulp to give the
finished paper the required toug-
ness to be handled at all.
