Perkins Company Makes Gift to Nearly 60 Persons. been the company's custom to give gold pieces at Christmas time to the employes, a certain amount being given to those who had been with tho firm more than a year, and a lesser amount to those employed less than aL year. It WILS evident that some of the Pmployes did not get much benefit from the gift money, and while the company does not care what individual employes nay do with their spare cash, this year it thought it would try the experiment of encouraging the habit of saving. Mr. Perking believes that all the employes, who are nearly 60 in number, will keep up the memberships, and at the close of the club period every employe who has kept up hig nayments will he given a sum equal to the first 10-week payment that the company already has made.
The only change the company has made is that instead of giving gold pieces to its employes as Christmas gifts it puts the money in the bank in their pames, and the rest is up to them, Mr. Perkins says. lt became known yesterday that the Ilenry J. Perkins Company has given all of its employes memberships in 1915 Christmas Savings Club of the Third National Bank, paying instalments and ten weeks to the employes.in the habit of saving, and, agreeing weeks' to pay deposits them at the end amount of the Christmas club period, so that the company will have the employes third of the amount that paid to them if they keep up payments: to the bank.

Since the earliest times, the speaker said, tho Belgian people have strug-: gied against odds for the maintenance of their nationality.
In every war that Europe has had the little country has had some part. It was the Belgian soldiers who helped to keep back the battle French of Waterloo reinforcements and before in that the great struggle they fought valiantly and left half of their men dead on the battlefield, That the fighting spirit is deep-dyed in their red blood is illustrated by the Inet that long ago they fought war for six years, killing 40,000 men, all over the disputed ownership of a cow. They Nght for principles, it was explained, and that is why they refused to allow the Germans to march through their country at the beginning of the present war. Leopold was elected King of Belgium in 1831 after a conference of the Power's in London and from 1839 to the present year poace hay reigned in that naticn with two slight exceptions. But they have not forgotten how to fight, the speaker declared.
for the ancient spirit still holds good. Particularly in the principality about Liege the poople of old either fought with outsiders or fought with themselves most of the time. NORTIT ADAMS CASE.
