Was organized with
two main objects in view:
1st. To furnish a convenient, safe and profitable
method of saving for all classes of people.
2nd. To furnish persons who wish to borrow money
on real estate security, the means of doing
so at a reasonable rate of interest.
It is an association composed of savers and borrowers
and is strictly co-operative. The invested
dollar is a working partner—never sleeping.

Military Officers Recommand tha Ea-
tabliahmant of a Remount Station
Naar Newport, Ky.—All the Horses
Will Be Trained For Servioe.
Officers at Fort Thomas have recom
mended the site of the old government
rifle range, on the Licking river, back
of Newport, Ky., as a deelrable loca
tion for one of the six remount sta
tions that will shortly be established
by the war department to furnish
horses for the United States army,
says the Cincinnati Commercial Trib
une.
It is the intention of the war depart
ment to raise all horses that are to bo
used In the future by the cavalry, ar
tillery and infantry divisions of the
army as well as mules for the quarter
master and commissary departments.
At the present time great difficulty is
encountered to supply enough good
horses for the army. Agents of the war
department scour the country regions
and buy up all desirable horses.
During the recent Japanese war ta!':
it was pointed out by army officers
that the United States could not prop
erly mount the different branches of
the service, as there are barely enough
desirable horses on the market to sup
ply the present standing army of 00.-
1)00. It would be a difficult problem to
secure horses for additional troops.
At the present time the army buys
17,Odd horses every year. The a vertigo
cavalry or artillery horse lasts five
years, while those in the infantry
branch, whi< h are used by the officers,
last about seven years. Every horse
used by the army has to be replaced
every five years.
It is 1 in- intention of the war de
partment to divide the country Into
geographical sections. Remount sta
tions. where horses will be raised and
trained for the service, will be cstah-
lishcd at tile NewporJ rifle range,
which is considered the best point in
Kentucky to raise horses; Springfield,
o.; Fort Riley, Kan.; the Montana cat
tle ranges, in the Fallfornlu foothills
and Fort Reno, Okla.
The recent establishment of a re
mount stati m in Lexington, Ky., by
the Dorman government has opened
the eyes of army officers to the advan
tages of the remount system. It has
long been recognized that American
horses are the best in the world for
army purposes, and It is the hitentiou
of the Derman government to intro
duce them for use in the kaiser’s
army, (iennnn horses will be Import
ed Into America and sent to Lexington,
where they will bo crossed with Amer
ican horses. It is hoped that better
horses will be available for use of the
German troops.
In the geographical divisions of the
remount station men will tour tin* ad
jacent farming region to buy up the
best horses. A horse census will be
taken by the government, wh' h wb
show how many and what hind <•.'
horses can be used by the army in <•::•' •
of war.
All horses brought to the v.uioa..
remount station* will be trniued
service. They will U* put through
evolutions that will m,me 1 hem usetm
as soon as lh , a■ received at : 1
army post. At the present time • green”
horses are .-•■nt to the different posts
for <le\ olopincnl.
The syste, of remount stations will
pul an cud to - hi> practice, which has
been lie* > :r ■ >;■ considerable annoy
Hive, as n.. n.v of the horses have been
found woithleos after efforts to train
them. Kver> horse that leaves a re
mount sb tion will b.* thoroughly test
ed.
Farmer, will be encouraged to rai«e
horses for *'ie army, as the govern
ment v. id purchase horses at all times
wl noc.t n...king tin* farmers wait, as
i the present custom, until the army
needs tin in.
The Newport title range is recoin
mended be'-m-e Cincinnati is a good
horse and mule market, and it is the
idea of the government to have agents
watch the market for desirable steeds

When John Scott (Lord Bldon) wm
at the bar he was remarkable for the
sang froid with which be treated the
judges. On one occasion a junior
counsel, on hearing their lorahlps
give Judgment against his client, ex
claimed that he “was surprised at
such a decision.” This wa« con
strued Into contempt of court, and
he was ordered to attend court the
next morning. Fearful of the conse
quences, he consulted his friend John
Scott, who told him to be perfectly
at ease, for he would avert any un
pleasant result. Accordingly, when
the name of the delinquent
was called, John rose and cool
ly addressed the assembled tribunal;
“I am very sorry, my lords, that my
young friend hag so far forgotten him
self as to treat your honorable bench
with disrespect He Is extremely
penitent, and you will kindly ascribe
bis unintentional insult to ignorance.
You must »©e at once that It did ori
ginate In that. He said he was sur
prised at the decision of your lord-
ships. Now, If he had not been very
ignorant of what takes place at this
court every day—had he known you
but half as long ag I have—he would
not be surplsed at anything you did."
He Saw the Game.
(Smith’s Magazine.
The office boy had*buried countless
grandmothers, brothers, sisters, aunts
and cousin*, but he felt an enthu
siasm for the baseball game that day
that would not be downed.
Suddenly an idea struck him. Ap
proaching the easy boss with an air
of familiarity, which had been nur
tured by long usage, he asked:
“May 1 leave at noon today, sir?”
“And why, my boy?”
“There is a fancy fair at our
church and mother wants me to go
this afternoon. She was so anxious
that she bought me a ticket, which
cost a dollar, as she was sure you
would allow me the few hours off. I
have to assist at the refreshment
stall and it seems a pity to waste”—
“But, surely you are above such
things as that, which take you away
from your work. Wiry not give the
ticket to one of your sisters?”
“WVdl, you see. sir. that wouldn’t
be fair, for I’m the only one of our
family who can be depended upon to
eat a dollars’ worth, and”—
His supreme nerve won the day.
Air ”Bonnl« Blue Flag*”
Oh! yes. It’s shameful, i'll declare, to
make the men all go
And leave so many eweethe&rts here,
without a single beau.
We love to see them brave, it’s true,
and would not urge them stay;
But what are we poor girls to do
when they are all away?
Chorus:
Hurrah! hurrah! for the Sunny South
so dear I
Three cheers for the homespun dress
the Southern ladles wear.
My homespun dress is plain, Iknow;
my hat’s palmetto ‘too;
But then it shows what Southern girls
for Southern right will do.
We envy not the Northern girl, her
robes of beauty wear.
Though diamonds grace her snowy
neck, and pearls bedeck her hair.
Now Northern goods are out of date,
and since old Abe’s blockade,
We Southern girls can be content with
goods tbat’re Southern made.
The Southland is a glorious land, and
hers a glorious cause.
Then here’s three cheers for Southern
righta, and for the Southern boys.
We send the bravest of our land to
battle with the foe,
And we would lend a helping hand;
we love the South, you know.
Wle send our sweethearts to the war,
but dear girls, never mind;
Your soldier lover will not forget the
girl he left behind.
A soldier Is the lad for me, a brave
heart I adore;
And when the Sunny South is free,
and fighting is no more,
I I’ll choose me then a lover brave from
out that gallant band;
I The soldier lad L lovo the best shall
have my heart and hand,
And now. young men. a word to you:
If you would win the fair,
Go to the field where honor calls and
win your lady there.
Remember that our brightest smiles
are for the true and brave.
And that our tears fall for the one
that fills a soldier grave.

A Luminous Comment.
(Philadelphia Evening Bulletin.)
The late Isidor Wormser. the mil
lionaire blanker of New York, laid
the foundation of his business suc
cess as a clothier in San Francisco.
An aged San Franciscan said of him
recently:
“Mr. Wormse r was a shrew man.
If you laid a proposition before him,
he saw at a glance whether It was
good or bad, true or false, and In an
epigrammatic and illuminating way
he passed Judgment on it.
“For instance: 1 once heard a
niau explaining palmistry to Mr.
Wormser. The man was an ardent
palmist. He insisted that, the lines
in (he hand were as trustworthy as
the lines In the Bible. He said that
the wise everywhere believed in the
palmist’s science.
“ Now here,’ he went, on, opening
his hand, ‘here is the life line. This
line indicates Infallibly how long you
will llva*
“ ’Yes,’ said Mr. Wormser. ‘Isn’t
It funny, (though, that the life Insur
ance companies pay no attention to
itr ”
The Thoughtful Landlord.
(Harper’s Weekly.)
A Ne w Yorker whose business fre
quently takes him through the south
tells of an amusing experience In a
country hotel in one of the Carolinas.
The New Yorker soon learned that
the landlord of this establishment
laid if down as one of his principles
of action to give his patrons a little
more than they asked for—to be "ex
tra accommodating.” as ho termed it.
The New Yorker had left a call for
C In the morning, so that he might
lake an early train north and he went
to sleep In the calm assurance that
he would be aroused at the proper
hour.
“I seemed hardly to have fallen in
to a sound slumber,’’ says he, “when
I heard a terrific pounding at my
door. I sprang up, wide awake.
’“What’s the matter?’ I called out.
