fairs were prospecting, and, as far as could
be learned, were well pleased with the new
management. 1t is said that the company
will not lose any of its accounts, though
depositors who desire TO withdraw will not
be overpersuaded to remain. One OF the

that collateral they would realize all
that was loaned on them. This is supposed

THE NAMELESS HERO.

There are countless heroes who live and
die
or whom we have never heard;
For the great, big. brawling world goes
by
With hardly a look or word;
And one of the bravest and best of all
OF whom the list can boast
Is the man who falls en- duty's call,
The man who dies at his post.
While his cheek is mantled with man.
hoods bloom,
And the pathway Of life looks bright,
He is brought in a moment to face tho
gloom
Surrounding the final night.
He buoyantly sails DER a sunlit sea
And Is dashed on an unseen coast
TIL the ship goes down at the helm
stands he
The man who dies at his post.
Who follows the glorious tide of war
And falls in the midst of fight,
He knows that honor will hover DER
And cover his name with light
But he who passes unsung unknown,
Who hears no applauding host.
Goes down in the dark to his fate alone.
The man who dies at his post.
Who bears with disease while death
draws near
Who faces his fate each day,
Yet strives to comfort and help and
cheer
His comrades along the way.
Who follows his work while he may yet
do,
And smiles while he suffers most,
1t seems to me a hero true
The man who dies at his post.
There are plenty to laud and crown with
bays
The hero who falls In strife
But few who offer a word of praise
To the crownless hero Of life.
He does his duty and makes no claim:
And tonight propose to toast
To the silent martyr unknown to fame,
The man who dies at his post.
