My father was a hard working saddler; my mother not strong, but using to the best her small strength in bringing up a large fumily of chil- dren, of whom I am the eldost. Father was very ambitious for me and gave me a chance in the public schools, where I made the most of my time until [ was 15, Then the pressure of cave be- gan to tell upon my acar mother and I was obliged to give up my fondly cher- ished plan of becoming ‘a teaoher and went home to aid in our household cares. Alas! Father could not provide for so mouths and send the rest of us to school, so I went into a factory on very small wages, but managed to save a little each week, which I laid aside against a day of need. For safety I hid the money in a pile of old books stored away in a dark closet. One day in a fit of "house cleaning my mother decided upon burning up the trash, as she called it, and not having taken her into my confidence, my little pile of suvings was put in the midst of a bonfire in the alley, and when at night I came home to add a mite to my impro- vised savings bank I found only a few stray coins in the smoking ashes. My next week's pay was handed me in of the pay-envelopes sent to our fac- by your bank, and 1 profited by the advice printed on it. I determined to be my own banker nomore; so at the end of the week 1 made a small deposit in the American Savings bank, and then ai- , until in less than three years I saved up enough to take night les- sons in typewriting. 1 made rapid pro- gress and succeeded in getting a position as typewriter in a well known whole- sule house, My savings were now doubled, and sométimes trebled, for my success led me to desire greater things, and as money is the chief stepping stone, I continued to lay it away, though sorel tempted to spend it in' petty trif which made my companions so much more attractive in my eyes, One day I returned to find our usually happy home deep in dispair. Father had slipped on the ice and sprained his wrist in such a manner that the doctor said it would be not only weeks, but months, before he could attend to his usual business, I'o make a bad matter WOl L mort was due on our little home, adcctor’s bill stared us in the face, add it would take all my small carnings and more too, to fill all the hungry little mouths that were open to their widest exteut, and howling, they except that dear papa was hurt and mams was efying. For a moment [-sat as one dazed, then my thoughts began to take shape, All night I lay awakeiin my own room which I had to share with two others.. I fell to planning, and thisiwas the result; When { came down to breakfust 1 could hardly draw down my face to mateh the others, 1 was 50 bubbling ever with joy at the thought of what I eould do for ‘my dear ones, Of course all my selfish () plans for a higher education had to be laid aside; but I was young and there was time to begin ain, 1 fivst paid fortunately Then 1 er DI sizes up the mortgage which, was net a very large one. ged thie best doctor 1 could find to treat father. I also engaged a good man to help my father until he should be able to use his arm again. Al- though this used up allmy hard won suvings it enabled father to keep his business running and by working extra hours I was enabled to begin saving again, and now, in two years more, if we 1intend” to take up the links in my broken education and fit myself for “something which shall be a stepping stone to higher things, If 1 succeed | shall feel that I owe it, in a measure, to the American Savings, and I amn gratefully yours, MAGGIE MCCREA. —_— Visit the new millinery store, 1514 Douslas street, all the late” spring styles open.
