 In search of more eongenial surround ings, he proceeded farther up the street, where with n new crowd he fur tber indulgcd in the flowing bowl. Feel ing piqued at his first experience, his usual genial disposition forsook him, when he grew into quarrclsomc mood.
 Failing to get accommodated in his search for n fight, he left several of the houses visited. and finally landed in one some distance up the line in which no one was present hut the bartender. After purchasing q drink there he picked quarrel with the gocd.nstured mixologist. and was ordered out of the place. Informing the bartender that he would not leave, and becoming more pugnacious with every moment. he hn. ally attacked the dispenser of liquids, who rctalisted with a loaded beer hot tie. striking Kent a blow on the side of the bead, which drew the crimson.

" than words.
brewster, it looks bad said the
Colonel, turning abruptly to the young
man. ''The other banks are afraid of

help from them. Some Of them have
helped US and others have refused.
Now, 1 not only ask you to refrain
from drawing out your deposit. but 1

You can restore absolute confidence,
Monty, my dear boy, by increasing
your deposits in our bank" said the
colonel slowly and as if draading the
fate of the suggestion.
You mean, sir, that I can save the
bank by drawing my money from 9TH
er banks and putting it here?' asked
Monty slowly. He was thinking hard
er and faster than he had ever thought

An Ideal Citizen.

The ideal citizen is the man who

Such a man attends personally to
all civic duties with which he
deems himself charged. Those
which are within his own control
he would no more trust to his in

his time, thought and money come
upon him suddenly, and often they
find him i'll prepared, but he nerves
himself to the inevitable, knowing
that in the village, state and nation
any mistake or neglect upon his
part must impose a penalty sooner
or later upon those whom he loves.
