paddle. The Monroe doctrine SIM
ply means that we are the bull of the
woods between the two oceans, and
that the man who joins farms with
us on either side had better not move
the boundary fence until he talks to
us about it, and that he can't sublet
a patch of his farm to anybody until
we are satisfied that the new tenant
will make good neighbor for us.
That's about all there is of it.

The Bank Book Was Old, but Good.

An old lady went into local say.
ings bank yesterday and presented a
book that she had taken out over &c
years ago. She said that she had
deposited $500 in the bank at that
time and had been told by friends in
New York State, where she lived,
that the account had outlawed. A
clerk examined the book and found
that the last entry had been made in
1873. He figured up the interest,
which amounted to a little over
ST. 300, and handed it to the depos-
itor, together with the $500. The
old lady was overjoyed and con-
cluded that she would leave the
money. She refused new book
saying that the old one was good
enough for her. The woman had
not been IN Vermont since the last
deposit was made Rutland Her.
