Charles King, one day, while fesplendent in his uniform, which was made especially brilliant by sev eral rows of new brass buttons, came upon a raw recruit, says the Kan- gas City Star. The latter was on post duty and failed to sainte the gen- “Are you on duty here?” asked “1 guess so,” said the recruit. Gen. King, with a show of anger. ‘They sent me out here, anyway.” “Do you remember your general orders?” asked the general, “I guess I do—some of them,” said the recrutt. “Well,” said the general, “don't you know that you are supposed to salute your officers? Don't you know I am the general of this brigade?” “You the general?” said the new brigade. i, I thought you was the chief of SAY YOU SAW ‘Gosh, not the fire department.” 1 didn’t know IT IN THE STAR. again!

These people, when the rain is unusually wet, the wind more noticeably chill, and the comforts of the home more forcibly appreciated, feel this sentiment begin to work op them. They make such remar' as “It must be awful to be poor “Just think of the poor children tn this weather,” and many similar outbursts that indicate a stirring within. How about summer time, when the weather is hot and the poor have no money for ice? How about vacation time, when poor children should be out in the country, at the beach, or at least given the benefit of parks and car rides? How about after Christmas? Then the dinner Is eaten, candy and nutes devoured, fuel used up, and cloth- ing worn out? How about it? Wouldn't it be more fitting for lightened, thinking people to go a little deeper into this look- fter-the-poor busine: In- stead of being only sentimental and instead of giving only crumbs from our table at a certain time of the year, let ua learn why we have the poor people.

Editor The Star: The city of Seattle will undoubtedly be the beneficiary to the amount of many thousands of dollars annually by reason of the recent special cfreu- lar announcement of the bank com missioner of the state of Massa- chasetts that the attorney general of that state has rendered an opinion that the municipal and re funding bonds iasued by the city of Seattle are legal investments for the 192 mutual savings banks of that state. The special significance and im- portance of this market for the sale of Seattle bonds lies in the fact that tho 192 mutual savings banks of Massachusetts held on October 31, 1911, 534,062.64, of which $163,760,488.11 was invested fn or loaned upon bonds yielding a return of but four per cent and $80,167,769.48 at lesser raten, Seattle bonds either at quite an advanced premium above the rates at which they have been marketed, or to be sold at par when issued at & lower interest rate than hereto- fore, will yteld said banks a réturn considerably above that derived from millions of dollars of funds similarly invested BE.
