"Select some little task that will be useful to him as a personal habit or that is helpful to some one else, and see that he performs if regularly and punctually. "Aiter he has been taught to work and to earn money honestly, then it is all-important that the boy be instructed carefully in the matter of saving.

Many can earn, but few can save. The evidence goe3 tfi show that a bank or trust company, usually local furnishes the most common and satis factory means of saving. Give him a toy bank at first, and aV soon as he" has accumulated a half-dollar or more have it placed to his credit in a bank of deposit." "Building and savings associations also are recommended by Prof. McKeever, who likewise suggests a school savings account. "Without doing much extra work teachers and principals of schools may institute and manage pupils' saving accounts.

"The money taken in should be deposited "in a sound local bank, the child drawing an order on the teacher when he desires to obtain his money. When practicable, the accum" illations of the puipls may be placed in a savings institution that will allow a small rate of interest. "During seven years the public school pupils of Des Moines, Iowa, have deposited more than $50,000 In their savings accounts. "By degrees, the boy acquires sufficient self-resistance to enable him to return from the store with some money in his pocket. This is his first step in wise expenditure, for it is certainly indicatve that he is proceeding thoughtfully.

Attorney Jenks opened for the de- ndant in support of the motion for new trial, and in a speech of a half mr's duration cited the joints in his I ntention for a new trial. He stated at in the 9th instruction the court red in regard to the control of the krents over "Lorena Sutherland, a tinor, in which the court stated that rents had control, even when their -dren were "working in the neigh-brhood."

5. "The criminal is nearly always a spend thrift." This declaration, made by William A. McKe ever, professor of philosophy in the Kansas State Agricultural college, is one of the strong reasons he puts forth why boys should be taught to save money. "There is no good reason," said Prof. McKeever, "Why any ordinary boy should "not be taught to work and so save and finally1 have a small bank account of his own, provided he be given reasonable instructions in regard to the matter.

Moreover, this instruction will prove in the end to be as profitable 'In every sense as that given on any other conceivable subject, for it will become a "great moral force." "Prof. McKeever's remarks are made In a pamphlet entitled, "Teach ing the Boy. to Save." He treats the matter in most interesting fashion and bases his statements upon close personal observations made in all parts of the United States. "The criminal," says the professor, "is nearly always a spendthrift, and while the converse statement is not necessarily true; there is something in the very nature "'of the reckless money habit that tends to drag one down toward wrong The published records of courts and prisons show that the majority of the men and boys found guilty of crimes and misdemeanors have gone astray as the result of an effort to obtain money or its direct equivalent by some unlawful means. Theft, forgery, robbery, and the like, are most familiar terms in the catalogue of crime.

The present-day records of the juvenile court indicate that the boys tried here most commonly lack what might be called "money sense." They show little evidence of having been taught how to earn money honestly, and less evidence of having ever known from, experierace anything about saving. "The Whole fabric of our moral life is thoroughly inwoven with our ideas about money and its purposes and uses; and yet we are. doing little or nothing of a systematic character, either In school or out, to instruct growing children in reference to this very important matter. It is a common thing in cities and villages to see boys ranging in age from five to thirteen making a bee-line for the confectionery a niefcte or dime, just begged from a parent. This carelessness is allowed to go on till about the adolescent period is reached, when suddenly the parent becomes imbued with the idea that it is time to have the iad earn some money ot his own.

"The habit of getting something for nothing, so thoroughly formed in early life," says the head of a great mercantile establishment, "is responsible for the speculative tendency so ctommofti hmong young men today. They want to obtain a high living with the least effort. This city is swarming with finely dressed young men who do not own the clothes they are wearing. I know many of them personally. In employing help I always give the preference to those who have already saved something, for they are more willing to earn what they receive." "It is often the case, especially among farmers, that the growing boy never sees any money of his own excepting on rare occasions like the Fourth of July and Christmas, and then he regards his shining quarter as an object of curiosity and scarcely knows how to spend it.

Often, In a case this. It is found that the father Is looking: upon his son as a kind of investment to be made profit" able as possble. "Almost any parent that is willing and. thoughtful and reasonably attentive to the matter may assist the boy to find ways'. 'whereby to earn a small Income.

But the effort must be persistent. It is not enough to tell the boy what he ought to do. It is at first necessary to find reasonable tasks for him and tr-sa hold him to his duty till he acquires something of a habit and tion, guard with care against miserliness. The ultimate aim of his teaching is not that of qualifying the coming man to accumulate wealth, but it is that of developing the youth moral self-reliance and an otherwise efficient personality. HELPS MAKE STATE DRY Attorney General Jackson Talks of Reveiitie Order.

Most Important Prohibitory Rule That Has Come in Years Says Mr. Bone Acted Under the Government's Instruct3ons. Topeka, Feb. 5. Attorney General Jackson gave out the following statement last night in regard to President Taft's new policy regarding the internal revenue service in "dry" states: The reply of President Taft to Gcvernor Stubbs relative to the new rule enforcing ithe internal revenue laws in Kansas and other prohibition states is the most important event that has occurred in years in the fight for effective liquor regulation.

It means a complete reversal of the former policy of the government and harmonious action of state and nation to drive the bootlegger out of business in dry territory. There has been no intent in this controversy to reflect upon District Attorney Bone or any one else. The printed circulars pro duced in the correspondence show that Mr. Bone was acting under instructions from the government itself. The president's order that sales must be made at- the place named in the stamp and persons without a fixed place of business will not be given stamps, and that prosecutions will be vigorously made on all sales not made strictly according to law, will stop at least one-half of the illicit sales of liquor in this state.

President Taft's order will be a popular one with all officers charged with the enforcement of the law as well as the people of the state. HELP CAME IN TIME. Wireless Again Saved the Live, of Many. New York, Feb. 5.
