Nobody who has watched the progress of the case has doubted that this would be the result. On the pri- Yate car charges, a@ number of sen- siors who had voted guilty on other charges voted not guilty. While they regard Judge Swayne’s actions in these matters wrong and reprehensible, they -@id not consider them suffictently ‘grave to warrant impeachment, As noted In the detailed statement givén below, there were several republicans wko voted guilty on most of the counts, the highest number being in that bearing on the O/Neal case. Now that the case has been brought to an end, it can be sald that two influences undoubtedly operated very strongly in Judge Swayne’s behalf. One of these was political Becatise the judge fs a republican a number of republicans conscientiously or un- conscientiously permitted themselves to look an the case against him as in a sense political. The other rea- sons found in certain strong corpora- tion influences which have undoubted- ly been exerting themselves in his behalf, The campaign made by these infuences has not of course been an open one, but {t has been exerted to- ward stirring up the partisan feeling Sian Srp SS See ager Serie ‘The voting Lexan on Yee Brat artiie, which charged Swayne with certifying @ false claim for expenses.

The Saving Habit. - ” Eave youebankaccount? If not, why oti Your wages are small? Demands are large? Saviog is impossible? Pardon us, saving is not impossible. ‘The saving may not be large. It may be pitifully small at the first trial; but the saving will be a beginning, and it will grow. ‘There are several reasons why you should have a bank account, howéver modest it may be, First of all, some day you will need some ready money. Sickness, loss of work, a slight tura in the wheel of fortune —what will you do? Another reason may be found in content and peace of mind. He whu has some ‘savings feels more secure than does the spendthrift. Discontent and’ worries dog the footsteps of the man who lives up to all his income. But the big reason is this: The saving habit is reflexin its action. It is an index of character. It fs easy to spend money. It requires effort to save it. The flabby- minded man lets go his money’ recklessly. ‘The strong man resists the strong tempta- tion to spend more than he can afford and in resisting this temptation, grows stronger. Nor need one grow stingy and hard. hearted. There arc many inducements fora young man, especially, to let go of ‘his money. He is uiged in a hundred ways to squander his hard-earned dollars fool- ishly. He who resists is laying the foundation for a strong business character, There are thousands, especially in the ‘cities, who, drawing good salaries, gauge the outgo by the income. They do not saye acent, ‘And it is usually these who envy the successful and.point to the latter as lucky ones, whereas it is true that the foundation of every fortune has been laid in the habit of small savings. Go to the saving bank ad start an ac- count, however small it may be. It is the habit ‘of saving that is more important than the saving ijself. Get the habit.— Atlanta Journal. . Masenic Notes.

GF INTEREST TO WOMEN Many women, says a writer in Woman's Life, who would not think of lightly breaking a promise made to a grown-up person is utterly carless about keeping her word with her children. She promises whatever is convenient at the moment, and apparently thinks that the breaking or keeping of those promises is a matter in which she can please herself, and that her children have no right to consider themselves aggrieved if she does not do so. EMBLEM OF ARISTOCRACY The hat seems to be the emblem of aristocracy as the crown is of royalty. At least the New York Sun finds that the hat regulates prices if not the social scale in the east side of that city. A newspaper woman who recently took up quarters with her chum in a Third avenue flat has discovered that there is a mine of wealth in going without a hat. The first few times she went out marketing she wore a hat. The prices were outrageous. Then, being a newspaper woman, and wise in the ways of the east side, she left off her hat. Now she does her marketing the畅ly. LAGES Different kinds of laces continue to be employed in the construction of a single gown. For example, a gown of cream net in the all-over Valentiennes design has a skirt plain and full that just escapes the ground all around, but is tucked in five tucks, graduating slightly toward the waist line. The bodice is also tucked, but in small tucks. Bands of heavy Irish lace trim the bodice. A collar and shoulder straps are of the Irish lace, and three straps extend to the waist line. A high girdle is of turquoise blue satip. The sleeves are puffed and draped to the elbow, where there is a fall of Irish lace. A POCKET IN HER SLEEVE. Perhaps because the cross is now worn where the coin purse used to be, the smart girl has conceived the idea of having a pocket on her sleeve. At any rate, that's where a small pocket—a buttoned-over patch pocket—is now to be found. It is seen on both cloth and velvet coats, and is sometimes placed near the shoulder, or quite as often just above the cuff. Its special use is for holding change and railway tickets, but many times it also carefully hides from view a bit of a powder puff and a safety pin or two. A kid pocket looks very smart on a cloth jacket, but when the pocket makes its appearance on a velvet coat it is in best taste to have it of the same material as the coat, though the lap may fasten over with a jeweled button. FOR A BRIDE. A recently completed model designed for a bride is of yellowish white cloth combined with panels of Irish lace. The bodice is entirely of lace, with a stole arrangement, narrow over the shoulders, made of straps of cloth and lace entre doux. The deep cuff to the elbow is of straps of cloth laid over lace, and the upper sleeve, a big puff, is of lace. The entire skirt is built of straps of cloth over lace. Voile and lace are combined, and such costumes are made with a long habit. An attractive model has a skirt inset with three rows of wide entre doux arranged in festoons and a Louis XV, coat of lace. The coat is unlined about the shoulders, the lace forming a yoke and choker; the sleeves are close and finished at the elbow with lace ruffles. THE ART OF DARNING Small holes in table linen should be darned with ravellings of the linen itself, and for this purpose the ravellings should be carefully preserved whenever new linen is purchased. Linen floss is the next best darning medium. Darning stockings is never a very welcome task, and too often in the case where there is a large family the task seems almost endless. The following method will insure less darning, because the darns being more secure will last longer. Before beginning to darn hole tack a piece of coarse net lightly to the stocking over the hole, then darn over the net and be sure to darn also well into the stocking as well to keep the darn firm. This net makes such a good foundation that the work is more quickly done, and the result is a much smoother and neater darn than one done in the old way. WRINKLES AND LINES The best way to have a smooth, unwrinkled skin is to keep the wrinkles out. Unpleasant wrinkles can be kept out of the face by avoiding those expressions which tend to make deep lines. The woman who is the victim of the smelling salts bottle is said to wrinkle years before her time. Frowning brings lines, as do all worry and fretting. Going bareheaded in a burning sun brings wrinkles about the eyes and forehead. The eyes naturally try to protect themselves from the injustice done them. And worse than some other wrinkle-producing expressions is the rush expression which so many women of the present day are wearing. These wrinkles can be avoided by remembering that, another day is coming, and that a mad page wastes time and noyer makes more minutes in the day.—Rochester Union and Advertiser. THE LITTLE WORRIES. Some one has stated that with regard to worrying over trifles women are far greater offenders than men. In the main this is true, for the average man is either "happy-go-lucky" over little worries or keeps them to himself more than a woman does. A man—that is, of course, the well balanced, reasonable man—has an ampler philosophy than his womenkind; he takes his joys, too, less sadly, for numbers of women embark-a pleasurable trip with much fear and trembling, and an anxiety calculated to take a few months from their existence. But there can be no hard and fast rule, with regard to the worrying capacity of the sexes. When men worry they do it whole-heartedly; while many a woman invariably considers the "sunny side" of a difficulty. Alas, with most of us too often does the trifling worry count more hardly than the larger sorrow, and too many of us destroy our chances of happiness by an absorption in those little trials of life which might so often be ignored.—Albany Times-Union. OPENING LETTERS A short time ago an argument was carried on in my presence that greatly astonished me. The question discussed was, concerning the privilege of opening letters coming to the home regardless of the fact that they were addressed to some members of the family not present at the time. As I listened to the arguments I realized how tight a hold the desire of gratifying curiosity had procured upon us. Some held that the opening of all letters was a privilege allowed parents alone. Others seemed to think that a letter was household property. A few declared that, as a rule, they did not believe in the indiscriminate opening of mail. Still, they felt that as an exception to this rule husbands and wives should consider it their prerogative to open mail addressed to each other. After listening to the opinions brought forth I found that I stood alone in thinking that a letter should be opened only by the one to whom it is addressed. I felt that although I might have some curiosity concerning the contents, I would have no right to open that epistle even though I felt that I might never be accorded the privilege of reading it. As far as parents are concerned I must say that I feel sure that a majority of children take great delight in showing their letters to their parents. We all know how happy it makes a child to receive a personal letter. How much greater is the delight when they are allowed to open and read it! If parents have the full confidence of their children I think they will not find them wanting in this little act of filial respect. I cannot understand why husbands and wives think they can lay aside the common courtesies of life in the home, among them respect for each other's property. I hope I am not speaking too strong, but I think that where there is lack of trust there is frequently lack of love.—Brown Book. FASHION NOTES. The waistcoat or vest is almost universal on this season's tailor-mades. High, wide shoulders are prescribed by all smart modists for outer wraps. Even for dressy bodices the leg-mutton sleeve is the correct thing just now. Every well appointed feminine wardrobe this winter boasts a restaurant gown. Brown Valenciennes lace is one of the latest and most exclusive trimming notions. A multi-gored skirt, flaring wide at the hem, is the favorite one for the tailor gown. The dart is back again, the old-fashioned seams in pairs, fitting the bodice to the figure. Among the very swagger bodices are those in Directoire style with very deep postillion back. Softly drawn-down modes have replaced the exaggerated blouse modes formerly in fashion. The popular high sleeves are good, in that they bring the curves of the waist into greater prominence. Jeweled buttons, very often very costly ones, decorate Directoire bodices when made of rich fabrics. A tiny cap of cloth-of-gold with a bow of gold ribbon at the front is much favored for theatre wear. Gowns suggesting old pictures are in Directoire style with bodices and skirts in contrasting colors and materials. One very exclusive fashion arbiter declares that short, white, glace kid gloves have become provincial, that suede gloves in the tan colors are much better form. The present time in dressdom may be called the "picture period." The most definite changes of fashion all affect the bodice and sleeve. Panelled skirts, with short overdresser in panier style, are among the spring predictions. Among the smartest new imported dress, goods "turquolse morte," the mysterious green of the stone that has lost its original color, "juille morte" (dead leaf), a new shade of brown, and "amaranthe," a rich purplish red are very striking. he Had Become Corpulent and Had Lost His Activity Napoleon Bonapare, when he came on board the Bellerophon on the 15th of July, 1815, wanted exactly one month of completing his forty-sixth year. He was then a remarkably strong, well-built man, about five feet seven inches high; his limbs particularly well formed, with a fine ankle and very small foot, of which he seemed rather vain, as he always wore while on board the ship silk stockings and shoes. His hands also were very small, and had the plumpness of a woman's rather than the robustness of a man's. His eyes light gray, teeth good, and when he smiled the expression of his countenance was highly pleasing; when under the influence of disappointment, however, it assumed a dark, gloomy cast. His hair was of a very dark brown, nearly approaching to black, and though a little thin on top and front, had not a gray hair among it. His complexion was a very uncommon one, being of a light, sallow color, differing from almost any other I ever met with. From his having become corpulent he had lost much of his personal activity, and, if we are to give credit to those who attended him, a very considerable portion of his mental energy was gone also. It is certain his habits were very lethargic while he was on board the Bellcrophon; for, though he went to bed between 8 and 9 o'clock in the evening and did not rise till about the same hour in the morning, he frequently fell asleep on the sofa in the cabin in the course of the day. His general appearance was that of a man rather older than he then was. His manners were extremely pleasing and affable. He joined in every conversation, related numerous anecdotes, and endeavored in every way to promote good humor.—From Maltland's "Surrender of Napoleon." WISE WORDS. The best time to attend to your neighbor bor's affairs is in your sleep. A man is not doing his level best when he is content to stay on the same level. When a man falls in love with Heaven he learns how he loves this earth. Opportunity and happiness wait for no man, as many a man knows to his sorrow. Men are governed by precedent more than by law. Precedent sanctions everything. Better go down to defeat fighting for the right than march to victory under the banner of wrong. Progress will never cease while men are more interested in the unknowable than in the knowable. Fretting over the shortness of our span of life does not add one year to it, but generally subtracts from its possibilities for good. Suffering becomes beautiful when any one bears great calamities with cheerfulness, not through insensibility, but through greatness of mind.—Aristotle. Washington's Cave Dwellers Washington's cave-dweller. The term "cave-dwellers," which is applied to a certain circle in Washington society, is mystifying. Not long ago, it is related in the Dellneator, a newcomer in the Capital City heard it. When she finally met one of the real cave-dwellers, a stately old dame, she asked her point blank why she called herself a cave-dweller, and the answer clears away the mystery surrounding the nickname, which, although it was derisively bestowed, is now regarded as a hallmark of distinction and exclusiveness. "I dwell in Cave-town," said the little old lady, "far-up on Pennsylvania avenue, near the line of Georgetown. Washington, you must know, has been this many a year a bit too garish for some of us old residents, and, like David, we have gone to our caves. You know about David, my dear, who took refuge from Saul in the cave of Adulam. Well; many of us have fied from Saul, Saul being in this case in Washington — new-rich people with more money than manners, with more pride than pedigree, with more dinners than digestion; therefore, we have fied to our caves. . . . There are many kinds of cave-dwellers in Washington. It is an honorable appellation and is assumed by many who-really should not claim it, but it has become rather a generic name. It was meant in reality only to cover the name of gentlefolk of high degree and long lineage, who cannot subscribe to the vulgar ostentation of the idle new-rich who have come to our Capital City and set up their palaces. There are many estimable, moderately rich people here who take refuge behind the appellation of cave-dwellers when they have no lineage behind them whatsoever." Child Pension in France. At all times it has been an object with French parents to teach a child to be provident and economical. A child of three can become a member of the Mutualite by giving only two cents a week; one cent will entitle it to getting ten cents a day when it is ill, and the other goes toward getting a pension when it is at a certain age. No one knows how long a child can live, but what does the contribution amount to? There is hardly a child in the world who does not spend that for candy. Now, a boy of eighteen, giving thirty-four cents a month to the society, will when he is sixty have a pension of seventy-two dollars a year.—Brooklyn Eagle. After the founding of the Berlin Trade School in 1821 there followed in quick succession a number of technical or polytechnic schools all over Germany. A DEBT OF HONOR Interesting Incident in the Career of Charles James Fox. Here is an interesting incident in the career of the eminent British statesman, Mr. Charles James Fox. A creditor had called repeatedly with a bill requiring the payment of 300 gulenas. One morning, after receiving the usual answer from his valet, that Mr. Fox was short of money and could not see him, the man, who had lost patience, pushed past the servant, opened a door, and found himself in the presence of his debtor, who was sitting at a table counting out and making into rouleaux several hundred pounds. "It seems to me, sir," began the creditor, "that there is no impossibility whatever in your paying your debt to me. I am delighted to see that your circumstances are so much better than I was given to understand by your valet!" "That money is not mine," answered Fox; "it must all go before midday to pay a debt of honor, which is sacred." "Well, sir, I doubt whether this creditor of yours has a prior right to mine. Remember that I lent you this money, without interest, more than three years ago." "Oh, no," cried Fox, laughing, "this is not nearly suicen an old debt as yours; in fact, I only incurred it a few hours ago! But it is a debt of honor, which, you know, must always be paid within twenty-four hours." Then, seeing that the man did not understand the meaning of a debt of honor, he proceeded to explain: "Last night I lost 800 guineas to Sheridan, for which he has no guarantee but my word of honor. If anything happened to me before he got his money, what proof would he have? You at least hold my signature, which my family would not dispute." "The man's face brightened. "And so," he said, "it is because your name is upon the bill I hold that you do not pay it? Very well," he continued, tearing it to pieces, "now my debt is a debt of honor, too, for I have no guarantee but yours, and I have a prior claim over your creditor of last night." Fox turned to the table, took from it 800 guineas, and gave the money to the creditor, saying: "Thank you for having trusted me. Here is your money. Sheridan must wait for the rest of his!" La Salle, Dreamer, Pilgrim, Explorer, Rene-Robert Cavelier, Sieur de la Salle, born in 1643, was of the race of the adventurous merchant princes of Rouen, whose manner of life was that of nobles, and who, with fellow workmen of the town, enriched their charming city with such monuments of beauty that it remains to this day a casket of architectural jewels. He was brought up and educated among the Jesuits, and he acquired from their school a knowledge of mathematics which marked him among his comrades as a learned man. His nature, however, was not of the sort which made him unquestionably obedient to the rules and commands of the great Order and its masterful superiors. He was young, therefore, when he quitted it. . . . One who reads the marvelous and noble story of his wanderings for the twenty years during which he was tolling to add the larger part of America to the crown of France will prefer to think of him as he at least became — unselfish, uncovetous, a dreamer of a great dream, a patient and suffering pilgrim in the wilds where his inspired vision saw the future dwellings and plantations of a multitude. Frontenac, friend and supporter of La Salle; kept his back to the East and his face to the West; it was La Salle who first saw that the pathway of France to the riches of the woods and mines of the northwest and the north lay not through the cold St. Lawrence, but up the more genial Mississippi. — Henry Loomis Nelson, in Harper's Magazine. A Few Conundrums. When a public speaker has had the misfortune to lose one of his hands what appellation would express his condition? Off-hand speaker. Why is a lame dog like a schoolboy adding six and seven together? Because he puts down three and carrles one. When is a boat like a heap of snow? When it is adrift? What three letters change boy into man? A G E. Who can speak all languages? Echo. Why is a gooseberry pie like counterfeit money? Because it is not current. Why are corn and potatoes like certain sinners of old? Because, having ears, they hear not, and, having eyes, they see not. What is the difference between a man looking upstairs and one going upstairs? One stares up steps and the other steps up stairs.—Philadelphia Record. "Wake Up the Minister." The man who can see both ways that a rule works, even if one way may point against himself, is broad-minded and pretty sure to possess the great, saying sense of humor. Such a man was Henry Ward Beecher, and the Buffalo Commercial quotes the following as an instance of his fairness: A country clergyman called on the great minister and asked his advice about what to do with persons who go to sleep in church, something which had become quite prevalent in his congregation. Mr. Beecher listened, very attentively, admitted that was serious, and then said: "When I first came to Plymouth Church I thought about this problem, and I will tell you the course I decided upon. I gave the sexton strict orders that if he saw any person asleep in my congregation he should go 'straight to the pulpit' and wake up the minister." | | *57 | Vla Jesup | *58 | | *37 | *57 | Via Montgomery | *58 | *22 | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | ... | 6 45p | Lv.Savannah.Ar | 9 45a | ... | 3 15t | 6 45p | Lv.Savannah.Ar | 9 45a | 9 35p | | ... | 8 30p | Ar...Jesup.

T HEY had somehow become separated from the rest of the guests, and found themselves alone in the conservatory. HEY had somehow become separated from the rest of the guests, and found themselves alone in the conservatory. "How fortunate it is," she said, "that there are conservators." "Yes," he replied, "I have a weakness for flowers of nearly all kinds." "I wasn't thinking of the flowers particularly, although they are lovely, and help so much to brighten the world. But what would the story writers do if nobody had ever invented conservatories? Where would the lovers in the stories ever have a chance to get by themselves, and talk about it if no such things as a conservatory had ever been made? "Well, it would be rather difficult for the authors, I admit. Of course, the loving couples could go out in boats or automobiles if the stories dealt with things that happened in the summer time, but for tales of the winter season they'd have to steal into the libraries or get into dark corners on the stairways. I suppose." "Yes," she admitted, "there would, of course, he a chance to use the stairs and libraries, but I'm glad there are conservatories. It has always seemed to me that a conservatory is such a natural place for lovers to stray away to." "They were standing behind a big cactus that towered high above their heads. She had thrown something light and gauzy over her white, graceful shoulders, and, as she half turned to look up at him, the moon, shiping through the glass roof, cast its rays upon her face. "The queerest spot I ever heard of for a man to select as the place in which he wished to propose," he said, "was a coal mine. One of my college friends, while being shown through a mine in Pennsylvania by the daughter of the president of the company, asked her when they were nearly 200 feet underground." "What did she say?" "I suppose she must have said yes. I was at their wedding." "How romantic! But do you think he took her down there just to propose to her?" "They never told me all the facts in the case, but if would have been just like him. He was always doing queer things." "I don't believe I should want to be taken down in a mine to be asked to be somebody's wife. I've always had such a creepy feeling about mines. I never expect to get out again if I went into one." "I know another man!" he continued, "who proposed to a girl up on the highest point of one of the Alps." "B-r-r," she exclaimed, with a shiver. "Think of going away over to Europe and climbing an Alp to tell your love. I should, if I were a man, prefer a nice, comfortable conservatory." He looked down at her for a moment, and, as he was not blind, there was one thing that probably impressed itself very forcibly upon him. That was her beauty—for she was passing fair to look upon. $ ^{4} $ The leaves of the big cactus spread out so that the two were so thoroughly hidden from anyone who might have looked in as if they had taken refuge behind a haystack. Bits of music floated in, and—they knew that the most of the people were dancing again. WEST POINT'S CADET DEBTORS Trusted For Four Years by a Jeweler, a Grocer, a Photographer and a Hotel Keeper in New York. Only Security is the Army Man's Word Honor. HERE is a small group of New York business men who will collect next summer and annual unsecured debt of several thousand dollars with as little difficulty as though the payment had been guaranteed by the signatures of every banker in Wall Street. The debtors are the members of the class of 1905 in the United States Military Academy at West Point. They owe the money principally for jewelry, confectioneries, photographic work, and rate hotel bills. "will pocket trade equipment funds neatly complete, but I don't believe there is a single man who will escape with no debts at all. Most of us have been surprised, I might say dumfounded, at our financial condition. A week or two ago I heard one of the fellows talking of his bill at the jeweler's. "What do you think of this?" he wailed. "Those people in New York must think I'm coming out of the academy coated with gold—they sent my ten-year-old sister a $50 parasol when I asked them to supply a Christmas The pay-after-graduation credit system at the Point is as well established as the rest of the Academy's fronbound, and better known, customs. Few, if any, of next June's class will emerge from their four years of toll free from debt, and the financial confidence their creditors have reposed in them has been practically unlimited. They could order whatever they liked, and some of them are "in for" as much as $600 or $700 apiece. The result is that the "good spenders" will see their equipment funds wiped away immediately after graduation day. This fund is the accumulation of small monthly sums retained by the Academy authorities from the cadets' salaries. It should aggregate about $300, which is intended to give the newly made army officer a start in the way of uniforms and incidental necessities. Fortunately the officer finds the same ease as the cadet in obtaining credit, so that the swapping of his fund simply prolongs his period of indebtedness. Whereas he owed money to, New York photographers, hotel men and sweetment dealers before graduation, he afterwards owes it to the tailor. A well-known jewelry house, a big grocery firm, an uptown hotel proprietor, and a photographer are the most regular creditors of the cadets. From the jewelry store the embryo soldiers buy Christmas and wedding presents and the like. "Enclosed find my visiting card," a cadet writes to the firm. "Please ship to ____ a suitable gift, costing $____" Sometimes he furnishes to the jewelry house an elaborate description of the person for whom the gift is intended—maybe his sweetheart in a far-off State, or his sister or his mother. The firm has a man who has studied the duty of selecting presents. The cadet learns later what has been sent. The amount is placed on his account—for settlement after he graduates. If he should die or should be expelled, or for any reason should fail to "make good," his classmates club together to pay his bill, however large or small it may be. The merchant knows his money is sure to come. "Do you have to pay interest?" a cadet was asked last week. "Oh, no," was the reply. "They charge us fancy prices for everything, so as to avoid the trouble of calculating interest." From the grocery establishment, which carries candles and fruits as a side line, the cadets receive frequent shipments, especially during the summer camping time. "What do you do with the sweets? Are they for gifts to the girls?" was inquired. "Not a bit," said the cadet. "The girls who come to West Point give us candy by the peck, you know. These boxes we get from New York are additional. Of course; it's against the rules for us to receive packages of any sort or money in letters. The grocer ships the eatables to a man we know in Highland Falls, which is a mile below West Point. The boxes are hauled up to us in a wagon and smuggled into camp or barracks." If a young woman were to spend as much for photographs as does a West Point cadet, she would be open to the charge of extreme vanity. But the cadet has to do it. There are the folks at home, calling for pictures of him and his uniform every little while. His young women friends—and he has many of them if he is a cadet of the usual calibre—are making similar demands, and there are scores of others. The result is that the New York camera man reaps a harvest of debts, which, like those of the other dealers, are as certain of payment as they are unsecured. The cadet never signs a note. There is a rumor that a merchant once attempted to build up a clientele at the academy and demanded written promises to pay, and that the cadets, indignant at the reflection on their honor, swiftly boycotted him. One of the creditors who is sure to have almost every member of each graduating class on his list, is the proprietor of the hotel at which the youngsters stop in passing through New York during their infrequent furloughs. For years the cadets have had a free rein there, getting whatever the house afforded without restriction as to cost. They register, eat, drink, occupy the best rooms available, use theatre tickets bought with money advanced by the hotel—all with no thought of paying until years or months afterward. For the first time they begin to figure up their debts when the last year is well under way. About this time, for instance, the graduates-to-be of next June are acquiring a knowledge as to "where they will stand." "Possibly four or five men in our house," said one of them the other day, But it was No. 8, and his name was or her program for that one, so there was no reason why they should hurry back to the hallroom if they preferred the conservatory. "I don't know," he said. "There would not be much danger of eavesdroppers on top of an Alp." "Oh, well, if one were afraid of eavesdroppers," she replied, "a path could be shoveled through the snow into a field somewhere. If I were a man and loved a girl well enough to want her to by my wife I wouldn't care who might be lurking around to hear when I asked her." "Why do you keep saying what you would do if you were a man? No girl could possibly have any idea what she would do if she were a man—any more than a man can tell offhand what he'd do if he were a girl." "I know very well that I should never hunt for a better place than a conservatory in which to confess my love, anyway." "Is there any particular kind of conservatory that you would select?" "Any kind would do, I think; but such a one as this would be especially fine. How sweet the flowers smell, and how glorious the moonlight is! I never realized before how lovely a place a conservatory could be. No wonder the story writers so often have the men lead the girls into conservatories to confess their love. How could a girl refuse to listen if she stood with him behind a big cactus—as we are standing now? It seems as though Cupid himself must be peeping through that cluster of roses." He glanced hastily toward the entrance. They could still hear the music, and turning suddenly he caught her, lovely and radiant, in his arms. Chicago Record-Herald. The Habit of Saving. Individuals who save and accumulate sums of money for lucrative investment are individuals who form the habit of saving. To be prodigal of your resources is natural. It is a survival of the primal nature. Saving is an acquired trait. It is necessary, therefore, to form habits that are conducive to economy. Many men and women who work for wages or salaries find it difficult to save, unless some circumstance forces them to it. The fact that this indulgence only means a dollar or a dime, as the case may be, is regarded as a sufficient excuse to spend the money. It will take long to acquire a fortune by laying up the odd pieces of change. Yet many great institutions derive their entire patronage from dimes, nickels and even pennies. The habit of saving means the saving of the little denominations. It is to curb the inclination to spend money simply because the denomination is insignificant. Any one can save the dollars, big bills and gold pieces. That the prodigal side of man is understood is found in the devices for catching the pennies and the dimes. To offset this and to encourage him to lay by a portion of his earnings, savings banks and the monthly payment plan for real estate, property assurance, etc., are in existence. Our wealth is our property. In the possession of property is centred our material well-being, our prosperity. The habit of saving, if persisted in, will make all men possessors of property. The value of that property and the measure of our well-being will depend upon the amount of our accumulations and the measure of our desires. A thrifty people is a contented people. Improvidence results in want and suffering. Habits of saving will contribute to individual happiness and to general prosperity in proportion as the habit of saying, thriftiness, becomes a habit common to all the people—Seattle Post-Intelligencer. The Art of Letter-Writing The agitation which, according to a daily contemporary, is going on just now in France on the matter of how to wind up a letter in a suitable manner, is not the first that that subject has started. The illogical nature of the ordinary letter has a way of irritating the public periodically, and various well-meant suggestions are made for its reform. Every body has heard of the man who began his letter, "Dear Sir, you're a liar." Through long use the "dear" has ceased to annoy people. They write it unconsciously, and to begin with a mere "Sir" seems most lily formal. The fact that lies at the root of the matter is that one must begin a letter somehow, and it is too late to start a reform. There are people who open with the word "Greeting!" but these are not numerous; and "Greeting is a good deal more effusive and out of place than "Dear Sir." The question in France, however, is, it seems, not how to begin, but how to end an epistle. The French are revolting against the over-flowery type, of which "Accept the assurance of my most distinguished sentiments, and believe me your very humble and obedient servant" is the best example. This is, as our contemporary points out, long and abject. If we are to retain our manly self-respect we must be more curt. Perhaps the best way of all is to use a postcard. Nobody can be fullsome on a postcard. Even a picture postcard!-London Globe. Missouri Youth's Dilemma. A young man in Platt County is in a quandary.

EVEN men, the survivors of a traw of eighteen, who were on board the japhthasideen Norwegian bark Marpesia when that craft was shown to pieces on Christmas Day, arrived at New York a few days ago on the Bermuda liner Trinidad, with a story to tell of barehead escapes that has few parallels. Still suffering from terrible naphthin burns, Captain Jensen, of the lost craft, staggered down the gangplank of the Trinidad. Once ashore the skipper consented to tell his story. Here it is in his own words: "That any of us are here to tell the story of the Marpesia is nothing more nor less than a miracle. That any of us are alive is remarkable enough, but that the only ship that we sighted since we sailed away from New York should have arrived on the scene almost at the moment of the disaster is what I call an act of God. "The Marpesia was a three-masted bark, and had on board 9470 barrels of naphtha, bound from New York for Zitto, in the Mediterranean. We sailed from New York December 9 and eight days later ran into the northeast hurricane, the fury of which was primarily responsible for the loss of our ship and so many of my poor men. The storm was the worst I ever encountered. The terrific winds and giant seas played with the Marpesia as if she were a toy, and every sail that we put up was immediately torn from the bolt ropes as if they were so much tissue paper. Mountainous seas were continually bombarding us, with the result that at the end of the second day our lifeboats had been smashed, the compass and binnocle washed overboard, and the cabin stove in and full of water. "During these turbulent days, the naphtha barrels were being tossed about in all directions, and dozens of them began to leak. "When Christmas Day dawned we were still laboring heavily in the seas, but, considering the circumstances, were doing fairly well, with only storm sails set. At about 11 o'clock on this day the explosion occurred. Nobody alive knows why. "It came without a moment's warning, and so terrific was its force that the forward deck and forecastle were tossed into the air as if they were made of pasteboard. Parts of the super-structure must have been hurled at least a hundred feet into the air, and with them went the bodies of the poor fellows who were forward at the time. Though we heard shrieks of terror, we never saw the face of one of those eleven men again. "Then seven of us who were aft were thrown to the deck with great violence, but we were back on our feet in an instant. The entire forward part of the ship was a perfect hell of flame, the foremast had gone and the mainmast was toppling. A minute later it, too, had gone. Helpless, doo staring us in the face, we seven stood astern and watched the flame eat its way in our direction. "Then an inspiration came to me, and I yelled to Hanson, the steersman: 'Hard down with your helm!' Hanson obeyed, and slowly what was left of the Marpesia wore around before the wind. As I expected, the flames were blown forward, but nevertheless they soon began to crawl back to where we were. We had about given up hope, when in the distance, steaming in our direction, we saw the transatlantic liner Galilia, from Marseilles. "will pocket these equipment funds nearly complete, but I don't believe there is a single man who will escape with no debts at all. Most of us have been surprised, I might say dumfounded, at our financial condition. A week or two ago I heard one of the fellows, talking of his bill at the jeweler's. "What do you think of this? he wailed. Those people in New York must think I'm coming out of the academy coated with gold—they sent my ten-year-old sister a $30 parasol when I asked them to supply a Christmas present to her." "Didn't you name the cost?" I asked him. "Why, no; I just wrote 'em to send something nice by express, and they did it." "That's the way with most of us. We've been too busy studying and drilling to practice economy, and now the waking-up is a terrible shock." The cadet mournfully remarked that he hoped to get out of debt by the time he reached a first heutenancy, but the check for his equipment fund, he said, would be endorsed over to his creditors in toto. Most of the West Pointer come from families of small means, but, there are a few whose supply of cash from home is limited only by the stringent rules of the Academy. They cannot receive money orders, and it is troublesome to have checks cashed, so the remittances, for the most part, are in the form of greenbacks, and are sent in letters, which, of course, the officials cannot open. It is said that the graduates who owe the largest amount of money at the end of each year are the ones who have received most from home, while the poor members of the corps keep their obligations down to almost nothing. The extent of cash shipments to cadets was indicated just before a recent football game in Philadelphia against the Naval Academy. From the "middies" there came a telegram: "Can you raise $2000?" This meant: "We have gathered together $2000 to bet on our team. Can you cover it?" The West Pointers began to hustle. A committee was formed to raise the amount, for a challenge like this from the navy must not remain unanswered. The barracks were canvassed thoroughly, and each cadet produced from his hiding places as much cash as he wished to wager—in most cases all he had. Within less than three hours after the telegram came the needed sum had been collected, and the news was wired back to Annapolis. Every cent of the money had been slipped into barracks contrary to the regulations, and now the blanket bet was made with equal disregard of rules. As it happened, West Point won the game, and a week later the hiding places in barracks had been replenished with whatever treasure was left over after the holiday expenditures in Philadelphia.—New York Mail. She Wished to Make Sure. "Why, Marla," exclaimed Mr. Calkins, hurt and indignant as he saw the fish-wagon turning at the lane, "whatever have you gone an' ordered fish for to-day, and you putting up my lunch for a day's fishing." "I know, 'Bias,' returned his wife, cheerfully, "and that's just why. When I get my mind set on fish, it just breaks me all up to have to unset it. Now if you hadn't mentioned anything about it, and had just come home to supper as if you'd been digging potatoes all day, why, I never should have missed 'em. But as 'tis, it didn't seem as if I could let the fishman pass."-Youth's Companion. Regulating Marriage in Kansas The freaks are-coming to the front rapidly at Topeka. First it was a bill to establish conditional marriages—to separate all husbands and wives after they had lived together ten years. Then came a bill abolishing all divorce. Then came a bill that if a man was not married at thirty years of age he must espouse a woman selected for him by a State commission. And now comes a crank from Cherryvale who wants the Legislature to establish the whipping post for the man who corrects his wife with a trunk strap or the soft side of a two-by-four scantling—Kansas City Journal. One of the Green Kind. As the two women in the crowded car carried on their high-pitched and animated discussion, there was a great craning of necks among the other passengers, says the New York Sun. Suddenly the train slowed down, and in the hush the voices became plainly audible to everybody. "Your parrot may be a better talker than mine, although I don't believe it," said one of the women, with an air of presenting the final clenching argument in her own favor, "but you'll have to admit that mine has the most beautiful foliage." Enn With Aspiring Warriors A gentleman has written to the press to say that the question in algebra set at a recent examination for cavalry, officers and quoted as absurdly difficult 'in no way unreasonable, for it has been solved at the first attempt by a six-year-old school-girl. But our recollection is that all that was said was that it was absurdly difficult for cavalry candidates. - Punch GVEN men, the survivors of a brawl of eighteen, who were on board the phatha-ldiden Norwegian bark Marpsela when that craft "The Gallia signaled to us that she was coming to the rescue as fast as her engines could make her. The decks were then so hot that we had to dance to keep our feet from being burned. The fire was then within twenty feet of us, and on the very rim of the flame stood Hanson at the wheel, his face and hands blistered and in frightful agony. Had he allowed the ship to swerve three points the flames would have enveloped us. I want to say right here that no braver deed was ever done by a sailor than that of Hanson during those terrible minutes while we were waiting for the Gallia. "Finally we realized that to save ourselves we would have to jump, as the heat had scorched our clothes. I knew that another minute on the ship would be our last on earth. We had two lifebelts left, and one of them we gave to Evensen, the mate, whose arms were in a pitiful shape, and who was almost helpless. The other we gave to Lund, the second mate, who also had a bad arm, but Lund learned that Salberg, the cabin boy, could not swim, and made the lad take it. "Then we all jumped. The Gallia was still several hundred yards distant, and we saw the seamen on her lowering a lifeboat. The moment the boat struck the water the great seas that were running smashed it like a cookshell. "The captain of the Gallia did not attempt to launch another, but brought his vessel close to where we were struggling in the water, threw lines to us, and drew us all on board except Evensen, the mate. Evensen was so weak he could not hold the rope. Fortunately, a lucky roll of the sea washed him up to the gunwale, and a sailor caught him by his lifebelt and dragged him on board. "Captain Wilson went out of his course to land us at Bermuda, and I want to say right here that more gullant men than Captain Wilson and his men of the Gallia do not sail the sea." — New York Times. AN HEROIC EFFORT. The Des Molnes Register and Leader under date of New York, December 18, 1925. "Bursed under ten tons of coal, with life stained by blood, of a gas pipe forced through the heavy mass, while his comrades worked horribly to rescue him, was the experience of Hugh Kelly, forty years old, an employee of the Hudson Coal Company. Kelly is now, in the Jersey City Hospital, bruised and injured internally. Physicians there say he cannot live. "Kelly was at work, on top of a thirty-foot trestle, up which big steel cars each carrying fifty tons of coal, are run from the barges. His duty, was to secure the cars before they were emptied into the chute. Kelly was on a car fastening the brakes when another employee, Thomas Haggerty, pulled the lever which releases the coal from the bottom of the car. Kelly fell with the coal feet, and was in an instant buried under tons of it. "Kelly's fatal plunge was seen by Haggerty, but his cries for help brought other employees, headed by Alderman Holmes, superintendent of the yard, to the scene. A long piece of gas pipe was shoved down through the coal and fortunately reached the entombed man, who was thus saved from suffocation. "Then followed a brave fight against death. Armed with shovels the band of rescues delved and dug with frantic haste to rescue their comrade. "Occasionally one would shout encouragingly through the pipe to the unfortunate man. Haggerty, a lifelong friend of Kelly, through whose mistake the accident occurred, was among the foremost in the work of rescue, and when the last jump of coal had been removed and anxious hands raised Kelly to the platform he was unconscious. His teeth were clenched like vise on the end of the gas pipe. "An ambulance had been summoned in the meantime, and Kelly was taken to the hospital, where an examination by the physicians proved that his injuries were fatal. "When his friend, Haggerty, who insisted on going to the hospital with him, learned that there was no hope of saving his friend's life, he, broke down and cried like a child." BRAVE DISOBEDIENCE.

His happiest hours were those he could devote to reading. The reading of "Robinson Crusoe," he told Coleridge, had sent him to sea. It is interesting to reflect on the number of recruits which that immortal tale has given to the feetes of England. Ball won Nelson's heart by a splendid exhibition of coolness and courage. On May 9, 1798, the Vanguard, Nelson's flagship, with the Orlon and the Alexander, salled from Gibraltar. On the 20th a furious gale caught the three ships between Corsica and the southern coast of Italy. The Vanguard, a somewhat rickety ship, which rolled like a barrel, fared badly. Her main and mizzen topmasts went, then her foremast snapped close to the deck and was rolled overboard. Here was a flagship in imminent peril of being carried by the heavy westward swell on to the Sardinian coast. Ball's seamanship was of the careful and thorough order, and he brought the Alexander through the gale unharmed. But he did more than this. When the gale was at its highest point he took the helpless Vanguard in tow. All through the night of the 22d the Alexander toiled on, dragging the flagship, slowly and doggedly, off the coast. The swell was furious, the breakers were near, and Nelson, the last man in the world to risk another ship to save his own, ordered the Alexander to cast off the hawser. Ball refused, and persisted in his refusal, till Nelson broke into furious threats and ordered Ball to cast them loose. Ball at last took his speaking trumpet and shouted back, "I feel confident I can bring her in safe! I therefore must not, and by the help of Almighty God, I will not leave you!" He hung on to the half-wrecked Vanguard till she found, safe anchorage. Nelson's first business was to go on board the Alexander and embrace the somewhat embarrassed Ball, crying in his rehement way, "A friend in need is a friend indeed!" THE LAST TRAIL And now comes one of the most romantic and most pathetic Incidents in the history of this brave man; indeed in all Western history. Rebelling at the tameness of ranching and horse trading and wagon trafficking, longing once more and for the freedom of the trapping trail, Kit Carson sent word among his old friends, the free traders of the Rockies, and made up a party of eighteen old-time long-hired men. They sailed forth with rifle and axe and pack and jingling trap chains, in the fashion of the past, making once more deep into the heart of the Rockies. They visited the Arkansas, the Green, the Grand, the White, the Laramie—all the loved and lovable parks of the mountains. They came back through the Raton Mountains with abundant fur. They said it was their last trail; that they had visited the streams which they loved in order that they might "shake hands with them and say goodbye." The expedition was made for sheer love of the old life which they knew had now gone by forever.—Emerson Hough, in Outing. Down a Big Hill on a Log. Two lumbermen made a descent of 500 feet in four minutes on a log in Sinnemahoning district, Pa., a few days ago, on the strength of a banter. The ride was made with the understanding, that the "purse" should be used for the purchase of a barrel of flour and a ham for a widow, whose husband, a lumberman, had recently died of typhoid fever.

The Russians were sure of victory, they even had a new broom with the Russian colors fiy- ing, to sweep the Japs from the face of the earth, but when the final charge.was made the Japs surprised the congregation and their friends, Each aide retired without the loss of a man; this is the result: Fisher division No. 1 the Japs, $230, How- ard division No, 2 the Russians, $230 making a totaf for the tl0.divisions 61U0. ‘This does not include. the table collection that was raised on Suoday which was $28 making a total of $458°0n Sunday.
