AIDING SAVINGS
The new capital of the world is
always the margin between • the
worlds income and its expenditures.
The expenditures now being at a
rate altogether higher than the in
come, financiers ©v cr\ where ;ye iu
terestd ia 'every step taken to
increase the supply of now capital.
That is so particularly in the Un
ite • states. One of the notably
features of the time is the anxiety
now being displayed to encourage
thrift, co make easy the way for
sound investments of small savings
and through this to encourage fur
ther the saving habit.
^ue of these steps a Chicago
bans baa taken. It has organized
a savings investment department in
connection with, its ordinary sav
ings department. for the special
bsneiit of those who have formed
tae habit of putting by a fixed sum
every week. The bank pays its
regular savings bank iuterest on
u!l such deposits until they reach
t'e amiu:;t of $50. Then it buys
fur tl'e depositor a gilt-edged ^Iu•>
bond, lending him half the pur
chase, price. The weekly deposits
continue, drawing savings bank in
terest, until the intere&t, the de
posits and the interests earnings on
«he bond cancel the loan.
When this is done the bond is
turued ever to the depositor and he
starts on the purchase of another in
tfe same way as before. Th0 plan
encourages and stimulates intelli
gent thrift. It brings into use. as
capital, the savings oi many peo
I'V, and at the same time sets them
«a the road to ultimate indepen
dence, possibly to wealth.
Some brokerage houses are do
•::g much the same kind of work,
i ~ey are encouraging the purchase
of bonds and stocks by people of
small capital, through selling them
on small • installments, which
amounts in practicaal etfect to the
;>lau of the Chicago bank.
It has become recognized by in
telligent bankers that it is the
part cf sound uolicy to lend every
encouragement to thrift and savings
particularly to aid the small capital

A Deathbed
Triumph
By WILLIAM CHANDLER
An old man lay on the bed of death.
A doctor sat by blm Intent upon some
method of saving his life. An entirely
different problem was tn tho mind of
the sufferer.
"Doctor," he said presently, "can't I
die for a short time, then come to life
again for a certain purpose?"
"What purpose?" asked the doctor.
The invalid cast his eyes about tho
rooui to see that no one was present,
then, stretching forth his hand, drew
tho doctor to him and whispered what
be had to say. When he came to a
pause the doctor said:
"I have suspected as much."
"Can it be done?" asked tho invalid.
"It can be tried."
Some more conversation followed, in
which the doctor gave the sick man
instructions, and the sick man did tho
same by the doctor. Then the latter
ended the matter by saying:
"Are you ready ?"
"res."
The doctor took from his medicine
case a tablet and placed it in the pa
tient's mouth.
The sick man, who was lying on his
back, stared at the celling, immovable.
The doctor went hurriedly to the door
and opened It. There stood the wife of
the Invalid.
"Madam." said the doctor, "I fear
that your husband is dead."
The woman hurried into the room and
stood over the sickbed for a few mo
ments looking down into the pale face.
The doctor, who was beside her, closed
the eyes of her husband, then led her
away, saying:
"Tills has been a long trial to you.
Tour watch Is now over. Go and rest
yourself."
She suffered herself to be led away
and within an hour was in bed and
asleep.
Paul Markham passed away at dawn
the next morning. Preparations were
made for the funeral, which was held
three days later, and on the fourth
day bis widow, who was his second
wife, and her two children by a for
mer husband, all dressed In deep
mourning, entered the drawing room of
the house in which Mr. Markham had
died and took seats. A number of
other persons. Including a lawyer, en
tered, and when all were seated tho
attorney unfolded a document and was
about to begiu Its readiug when Dr.
Blanchard, who had attended the de

of fifteen. There was about her a mel
ancholy that savored of despair.
"I have here," said the lawyer, "the
last will and testament of Paul Mark
ham. deceased, executed one year ago."

Markbam. Having stated that (be will
had been duly signed and witnessed,
he added that It woufd be immediate
ly filed for probate. He was refolding
the document when Dr. Blanebard
arose and, drawing a paper from his
(pocket, said:
"I have a will executed a few hours
before Paul Markham's death."
The widow's countenance changed
immediately.
I "If j-ou have nn.v such will," she
8fim, 'It Is a forgery. At auy rate it
was not witnessed. That I know, be
cause I was in attendance upon my
husband every day and hour during
his last illness, and I know no one
who could have witnessed a will en
tered the house."
"What time did you go to bed the
night your husband died?" asked the
doctor.
"At 10 o'clock."
"Your husband did not die till 2
o'clock tho next morning."
"Ho died at 0 o'clock in the evening.
You called me into the room where he
lay and told mo he was dead."
"I told you I feared ho was dead.
He was very low. ne revived, and at
midnight I drew this simple will for
him, bequeathing all his property to
his daughter, Ethel Markbam. Two
persons enmo at my call and witnessed
the will while you were asleep."
Tho woman stared at the doctor, al
though she could hardly believe her
senses. For years she had dominated
her husband and for a year, since she
! had forced him to make a will in her
favor, had watched him carefully to
| make sure that he did not make an
I other. At the very end of his life he
had outwitted her.
"Let me see it," she said to the doc
, tor.
Ho held the paper before her. She
read it and recognized her husband's
signature, though it had been written
in the agony of death. Realizing that
I she had been foiled, she arose from
her seat and. followed by her two chil
dren, stalked out of the room.
Dr. Blanebard by tho terms of the
deathbed will was made Ethel's guard
ian, and she thereafter mado her resi
dence with hlin. Her life had been
nearly crushed out of her by her step
mother, and It required some time to
restore her to a healthy state of mind
and body. But by the time she came
of age she was completely recovered,
for her surroundings as a member of
the doctor's family were all that could
| be desired, and he knew how to treat
j her to her advantage professionally.
I In his old age his savings of years
j were swept away in a commercial pan
| ic, and Ethel Markham provided fcr
him and those of his family who were
still too young to take care of them
selves.
