Pleasant references are made In
this miniature publication to num-
her of the prominent workers. Again
the great spirit of cooperation which
is the handspring of the progress of
Harrisburg is in evidence. Those who
are not identified with these vital
humanitarian movements are the
losers. They have missed something,
but it is not yet too late to show
their interest by giving, if not by
working.

MY Wife

The noblest work of God
Is that dear wife of mine;
If was half as good.
My life would be divine.
She always shares my lot.
In trouble or in mirth;
OF course l think I've got
An angel here on earth.
When hunger gave us pain
Our cupboard it was bare
She never once complained
About our scanty fare.
=
She's as faithful as the sun.
As gentle as the dew,
II she ever had fault
1t is one never knew.
When we cross the river
And are laid beneath the sod
We will plead our cause together
Before the bar of God.

Of this su something lesy than half milli marks has been withdrawn from u savings banks by the workers, a thi of whom have been able to convin the authorities that they need t money for legitimate purposes.
 The investigations attendant up, such withdrawals show that the wag for youths now range from 20 to and more marks a week, averaging the neighborhood of; 30 odd marks week. The amount Of money that h been laid aside, as well as the gener satisfactory condition of the worker convince the authorities that u compulsory saving ordinance was , altogether wise move.
