SALEM, Mass. rejoices in the pres

who has earned the title by sixty
seven years of active service in what
is now the First National Bank OF
that city. He took hold as cashier
of the old Commercial Bank in 1925,
which became the First National as
one of the consequences Of the war.
Being now ninety years old, he de-
sired to rest, but the directors unani.

of the fact that through his long
term of service the standing Of the
bank was never doubted, and much
of the credit for this, in some times of
trial, was due to the thorough conf

streams of the State with that much
despised but powerful fish. the Ger

certain waters The question was
debated at several meetings, and was
finally submitted to Professor H.
an eminent authority.
Samples uf the water were obtained
and turned over to the professor, who
In a short time submitted favorable
report, and the carp were accordingly
turned loose in the rivers.
The commissioners were greatly i'm
pressed by the professors knowledge,
but one of them had question to ask.
How could you be sure that carp
would live in the water submitted to
you?" he inquired.
"Why," answered the professor,
with an amused lnok, II bought il
carp for ten cents and put il iuto the
water. It lived"

THY KINGDOM COME.

Of what Thy world was meant to be;
Thy beauty all things shining through,
Thy love in all the works we do.
I shade my spirits dazzled sight
Before the splendor of that light:
Earth crowned with heavens pure. diadem,
The bride, the new Jerusalem!
For this alone didst Thou descend,
o Son Of God, mans glorious Friend.
From Thy dear Fathers throne of Bliss
That human life might be as His.
Thy kingdom come, our souls within!

Oh, show us what our lives may be,

Every one remembers his love for the act

that last engagement at the Globe theater,
he used to delight in her performances
and in her. She died before he did, but
during the past few months an actress has
died, who in his earlier DAYS delighted him
even more-Fanny Kemble-to whom, on
hearing her read Shakespeare. he wrote q
sonnet, ending:

every one once knew how he happened to

today may have forgotten it. there is no
harm in mentioning it. 1t was in 1886. The
house which had been built by Henry
Vassall became later the property of an

Washington had lodged. He would saw:
''This is a fine ROOM" and she would re-

then to his next note of admiration the
same reply: Eyes, but you can't have it."
Finally Longfellow ventured to ask why
she did not wish to lodge him, and she re-
piled: because l don't take students"
Then the poet explained that in spite of
his young smooth face that he was pro-

was installed in the room that Washing.
