Mystery attaches to the disappear
ance of $4,000 in gold from the vaults
of the Banco Territorial y Agricola of
this city, which Of icials of the bank
today admitted is missing. The bank
authorities have replaced this sum out
of their personal funds.
According to a statement issued by
the officials. the gold, in five bags of
$4,000 each, was last counted last
December On another counting of
cash on April 20 the five bags were
gone. They assert that it would have
been impossible for anyone outside

THE IDEAL WIFE.

It IS clear from the records of our

1.-THE impression that they did
g0t possess ideal wives; likewise many
! women have quit supposing that they
have had ideal husbands.
Maybe if Socrates had. lived in our
age he would have divorced his wife;
instead he merely utilized her petu-
liant temper to cultivate patience. But
too many in our time don't care to
cultivate patience that way. In fact,
some of us think we are too busy to
be patient.
One reason why domestic tranquil

is because somebody expected ideal
traits and instead meets with quite
human ones, and lacks the patienel to
swallow the difference,
The foregoing is merely little ad-
monishment to be added to the good

UNFOLDING FRANCE.

No talk of peace comes from
France, although that nation did not
want war and did not strike until
attacked. To an American recently
General Joffree said: "Lincoln's mot
to in your war of secession was the
.sapc rs ours is now--to the end"
General Joffre has been described as
Grant in tenacity, which Verdun
shows, and Lee in strategy, which
the battle of Marine proved. AS is
Joffre, so are his men from one end
to the other of the longest battle line
Of history, the scene of the most stub
born deadlock of hostile armies in all
the worlds wars. The French have
surprised all observers. They were
credited with gallantry and were sup
posed to have remaining something of
the old Napoleonic dash, but it was
not believed that they had the perse-
verence of the Teuton or the tenacity
of the Briton. Yet no troops have
better endured the long severe strain
of trench warfare.
At Verdun, it is related, "where the
! German offensive is delivering its
most smashing blows, concentrating
i utmost strength and weight of
illery and rifle fire, the regiments

Every wage Garner should un-
derstand how systematic saving,
though in small sums amounts up.
More than 8 in every ten or S1.3
per cent of males in the United
States, ten years and over were en-
gagged in gainful occupations last
year. National statistics list the
workers as follows: 30,0o1, 564 men;
8,C75,772 women; 1,9o0,225 children
10 to IS years, or over 1872 per cent
Of that group age, making total
of 40,157 sol. If each Of these
wage earners saved dime day it
would amount to 81 .465, 750,o76.50 a
year. Or if each saved dime a
week the total would be $2C8,S19,-
1920. A dime a month saved
would amount to $48,18o,093.20 in
year. And only a dime a year
would total the sum of $4,015,750.10
in one year.
If each wage Garner in the United
States saved one dime day from
the time he first began to work
and invested it what valuable an
nuity he would have to fall back on
when he could no longer work! 1t
is the small savings of large Num-
Der that make a nation rich.
