AND MONEY.

The first step q man must take if he ever ex.
poets to become q rich man is to save money.
The best way to save money is to learn its true
value. This is q lesson that should be acquired
in the early days Of youth.
The average child recognizes the value of
money only by its purchasing value. He knows
what can be bought for a penny, what ne can
buy with a nickel or a dime. A dollar to the
youngster does not look nearly 50 important as
five nickels, for the simple reason he comes into
possession of the smaller coin more frequently
than he does with the larger and fails to be i'm.
pressed with its Importance. Soon he finds out
however, and when he does it is time that he
should be taught the art Of saving.
When q boy reaches the stage of desiring
things that he knows his parents cannot well pro-
vide for him his natural instinct Is to earn enough
money of his own to get them. He will set to
work in many ways to do this. The manual train
ing schools help him.
If in the early days Of his life a boy is taught
the value Of saving he will be secure in later
years. Like other lessons of youth, it will not be
forgotten.
The boy should not be taught to be misery or
penurious, but he should be made to feel the
necessity of economy. He can be liberal and
still not be wasteful. He may spend his money
and not be a spendthrift.
Money is not nearly so hard to get in the
United States as in the countries of Europe, nor
is thrift understood here as it is there. If the
wage workers Of the old world had the money
earning chances that are to be found on this side
Of the Atlantic their accumulations would total
much more than they are now, ample as they
seem to be toward furnishing capital for carry
ing on the war in which their governments are
engaged.
When the boy learns to save his pennies he
will be well along the road to independence.
The milionaires today, in a great majority Of
cases where their wealth has not been inherited,
began life as poor boys, sons Of poor parents.
The force Of necessity taught them the value of
money. Want drove them into frugal ways Of liv-
ing. It is a hard lesson this lesson of poverty,
but it makes a man appreciate a dollar when he
earns one and also the advantage of saving and
adding to it.

A MEXICAN UTOPIA.

It will be news to many Americans that,
while most of Mexico is the very picture of mis-
rule and disorder, one of its states is one of the
most orderly and progressive, according to &C.
counts, in all the western hemisphere, not ex-
GLIDING the United States.
Yucatan is the Mexican state furtherest re-
moved from this country and the seat of war and
the governor of that state for over two years has
effected many reforms. Possibly the fact that
the central government has been much engaged
elsewhere made his work possible.
Yucatan has a labor law which not only pro-
tects the men, but makes thorough provision for
the women. Until this law, the women of Yucca
tan were worse than serfs. Sanitation is pro-
vided for by the new regime, child labor laws,
workmen's compensation and old age provision,
too, are subjects of legislation.
But the most fundamental reform has been
in the land holding laws. Two thousand indi-
viduals owned practically all the land until the
Alvarado administration and the taxes they paid
was scarcely $4,000 a year. Forty thousand
heads of families applied for land under the new
laws, and practically all of them observed the pre-
scriptions of the new law under which they were
to homestead land. The yearly taxes paid
on the land now amounts to $4,000, 600. This
land distribution vas done without confscation,
the land being purchased from the former owners
and resold by the state.
The state now has 2,400 free schools, a wo-
suffrage party; and all the other adjuncts
and evidences of a high civilization. The develop
ment of Yucatan is a strong argument for the
one-man power in handling Mexico and Mexicans.
It may be taken as a sample of what the United
could do in the event we have to intervene
to bring peace and order in Mexico.
