Several members of the Necks to
Nature Club rose casually as though
remembering engagements elsewhere,
and, just as casually, the colonel got
to the door ahead of them. locked 1t,
and slipped the key in his pocket.
Yes. gentlemen" he continued,
Rudolph was the worlds champion
trained flea He could count up to
100 by wiggling his legs, though after
100 his little legs got too tired. He
could also turn handsprings, do. a

stunts on his little parallel bars. l

tically.
81 wouldn't call it that" replied
the colonel with his sweet smile. 1T
came about like this. l was showing
him to an old North American Indian
Chief Dirty-Neck by name. reputed
to be LOG years old. Well. most I'M
expectedly, while turning a backward
summersalt. Rudolph lost his balance
and tumbled right down the old In
dams neck. Dlrty-Neck flshed for
him, grunted, said: Here Rudolph,
colonel, and put him in my hand. But
when l ordered the little fellow six
times to do hand stand and he never
moved l realized that 1t wasn't Ru-
dolph at all. BY that time Dirty-Neck
had moved off and Rudolph was lost
to me forever"
And the colonel unlocked the door
with his sweet smile and returned to

The Origin of Savings Banks.

The savings bank movement had
hardly started in England and Scot
land during the early part oc the
nineteenth century when the idea
crossed the Atlantic and quickly took
root in our soil Sometime during
the year 1916 such schemes were sim
ultaneously conceived in New York,
Philadelphia and Boston. through cor
respondcnce with the mother country.
Thomas Eddy Of New York received
4 letter from a London magistrate
named Patrick Colquhoun during that
year. in which he outlined the English
savings bank idea. James Savage Of
Boston and Condy Racquet of Phila-
delphta likewise recciycdthe same in
formation, but from what source is
not definitely known
These three gentlemen. unknown
to each other, began to formulate
plans Tor the establishment of saw
ings banks for the alienation of pow
erty on the part OF the masses, and
to encourage habits of thrift and in
dustry among the poor. Numerous
attempts had heretofore been made
by well-meanimg persons to accom-
plish the same end. but by different
means. 1t was attempted to regu-
late the wages OF mechanics by law.
Statutes We're passed fixing prices;
sick and aid societies We're formed,
and even lotteries established by law
to aGord relief to the poor. Tam

Heeds Principles of Humanity.

Third. Germany takes into consid-
GRAFTON the principles of humanity, in
asmuch as she never sinks enemy pas
senger steamers Qiners) without warn
ing and only after the saving of the
lives of passengers and crew. AS a por-
tion of the enemy passenger steamers
however, are armed, and as the Eng
lish admiralty orders, which We're
found on British ships and published in
the German memorandum of February
8, give every reason to expect that they
will use their armament for offensive
purposes, it is possible a naval fight
may occur between such armed pas
senger boats and the German naval
forces. For this reason it is advisab lie
for neutral passengers to avoid travel
ing on armed enemy passenger boats.
Fourth. In order to maintain inter-
national passenger traffic of neutrals,
the German government several months
ago suggested entering into negotia-
tions with neutral governments and
the designation as absolutely safe GER
tain specially marked neutral steamers,
which would follow certain routes pre-
Viously agreed upon. See the note

LONDON. April 1S-News that the
ice is beginning to break up in the
northern part of the Baltic. and that
that part of the sea will be entirely
free of ice in a fortnight, has been re-

is generally believed that the spring

forth many features of interest.
The Germans recently have been en-
gagged in a variety of preparations de-
signed to isolate the Baltic from the
North sea, including complicated mine
