Their Great Scheme.

A local couple, recently married, hit upon a scheme for saving that they figured was just about right. Each month they would save a certain sum each day. The first day one cent, the second day two cents, third day four cents. Each day the amount was to be doubled until the end of 30 days. By that time they would have a tidy sum laid away. Before starting the husband figured out just how much would be accumulated in this way. After laborious work he found the amount to be something Ijke $5,300,000, so after considering the matter they decided that $1 a week would be about their speed.—Youngstown Telegram.
