THOMAS COOKE was a very poor boy, the son of a wandering fiddler. His father died when he was a baby. He began his work a day life in a factory. Krom the start he felt the need of saving. “I am often hungry now” he said ‘‘but if I don't save I will be always hungry.” From one success he went to another. Success always awaits the man with money. Thomas Cooke lived to be 86 years of age and left a fortune of $63u,025. He said ‘T made it bv saving it.” You can open an account here for any sum from sl. up, FIRST NATIONAL BANK Defatur - Indians. P. W. Smith c. A. Dugan President Cashier W. A. Kuebler F. W.

| IMPOSSIBLE TO PLACE LIMIT I Imagination Falls When the Future Size of Ocean-Going Vessels Is Under Consideration. The astonishing prediction of the British shipbuilder \vho forecasts that in a few years the leviathans of the deep will be half a mile long and will register 200,000 tons Is not so shuttering to the imagination In this age ' of wonders as it might have been in a past era. The breathless story of scientitlc achievement during the last few > ears is replete with marvels that in an earlier day would have been wilder than the wildest dreams ever ! conceived. It is still possible to see treading, as it were, the well-defined paths of the Atlantic old vessels of eight thousand tons which In their heyuey were the largest afloat ; While again on a recent day a titan registering 50,000 tons — the Imperator started on hep maiden voyage across the herring'pond. It is ever so. The Brobdignagins of today are the Liliputians of tomorrow, and there is no logical reason why in a 1 few years’ time this same Imperator,; which now dazzles the senses with its size and magnificence should not be utterly eclipsed by ev- a more gigantic, successors. While to the greatest of humanity all achievement is necessarily Unite, mail's Imagination can penetrate fl&e cloaked dawn and dissi- , pate the mists that mask the future, i and if he has the courage and faith to follow, then all things are possible. | The sight of a great vessel cro'ssing ; 1 the Atlantic with almost as much regularity in time as the stars in theii courses cannot but recall to mind the time when Imagination and faith guided the hands that charted the unsailed vasts for the puny cavarels of Spain. STRENGTH OF HUMAN BONES Marvelous Resisting Power in Seemingly Fragile Frame Is Attributed to Hollowness. Human bones are really tremendously strong possessed of a mar velous resisting power. Indeed, the bones of the frailest, most delicate looking woman are stronger than the strongest oak. Os course, a bone is hollow 1 , and that is one of the chief reasons It resists such ext.eme weights. For instance, I a small bone which is no more than a square millimeter in diameter will hold in suspension without breaking some 35 pounds, while a stick of best oak of similar width will not hold more than 20 pounds. Indeed, the average bone of the average man is stronger by one-half than that of solid oak. The principle on which our bones are constructed, being made hollow and consequently stronger than If they i were solid and heavier, is the same . mechanics have followed the world over. Construction engineers employ tubes instead of solid cylinders. In the case of animals thousands of years ago one reason of their bulky ; frame is attributed by scientists as due to the fact their bones were solid i and added to their weight. Should Copy the Kangaroo. A German physician, Dr. Klaatsch recently read a paper at Breslau, on the influence of the upright posture upon mankind, in which he arrived at the conclusion that “die beutelratte,’ j that is the kangaroo, has been more j successful and fortunate in adapting ; itself to-tlie bipedal handicap of the erect posture than has humankind The medical assumption that though man. who, perhaps, in the remotest an tiquity, was a quadrupedal animal, did ■ at some vague period succeed in adapt , ing himself to a bipedal condition, it j was not until he was overtaken by civilization that bipedal infirmities came upon him. It is to his abandonment ol progress upon all fours that is due his hernias, hemorrhoids, varicose veins, intestinal troubles, etc. The insufficiency of the trunk muscles for the ; maintenance of the upright attitude ac ! counts for many human infirmities. It j will not be necessary for us to return to our former quadrupedal condition 111 we take Dr. Klaatsch s advice and learn from the kangaroo. Not the Same. Miss Annette Kellerman, the fair swimming champion, was showing a young millionaire, In the sparkling waters off Long Island, a few new strokes. The young millionaire was not a very apt pupil. He lumbered along, with a good deal of splash but not much speed, and after swimming 20 or 30 yards he puffed like a grampus. Miss Kellerman, In her pretty bathing suit, took him to task. “Yfou don't breathe right,” she said. "If you did, it wouldn't tire you so. As to the upper part of your body—you use exactly the same muscles, remember—in swimming as in sawing wood.” “Oh, no. I don’t!" said the young | man. “Oh, no! Believe me, Miss ; Kellerman, when it comes to sawing ! -wood I use the muscles of some other ( chap.” Meaning of Flagler’s Fortune. The Flagler estate of $100,000,000 passes as an incident In tlje day’s news. The $100,000,000 fortune In i America causes no surprise. And yet tho amount Is larger than all the money In all the banks of America in | 1840, larger by far than the governt H ut’s atiuual receipts previous to the Civil war, larger than all the money in circulation in the United States In) : 1830. But today we count our wealth ; in tens of billions, and thus the mil-, j lion becomes ordinary.—Philadelphia
