PAYS 4 Per Cent. Interest
on Deposits

The New England Farmer, the
old agricultural standby Of New
England, believes that the policy
of keeping Vermont money at
home is a popular and wise one.
1t says:
The Lamoille County Savings Bank and
Trust Co.. Hyde Park, VT, of which Ex.-Gov.
Carroll S. Page is president is run upon
wise principle, one which the farmers VINO
patronize it would do well to apply in their
general business transactions. This bank be-
lieves in keeping its money at home. That
its policy is profitable as well as popular
one is indicated by the fact that it is about
to pay four per cent. interest on deposits left
with Il year or more.

SPANS Popular BEVERAGE.

"Horchata lie chufa" is the singular
lame Of the most popular drink in
Madrid. This is made from a nut
called 'chufa." yielding a milky liquid
when reduced to a pulp. This is di-
luted with water and forms a most
cooling and refreshing drink. How
ever, it Is an acquired taste. Very few
like it at the first trial. The horchata
may be made from different kinds Of
nuts. Che almond is used also. Strange
to relate. the horchata de chufa is al
ways sold where mating is kept for
sale, so that when you spy a roll OF
the latter outside the store door 1t is
a sufficient indication that in that par
ticular place you may procure n glass
Of the hOrchata. In spite of inquiries.

the singular combination Of articles on

Knew His Habits,

The following anecdote is given by
an Indian officer as illustrative of the
M and customs of the willy
pathan: \ certain general and his
staff. while vending their way through
one of the narrowest valleys Of Tirah.
We're annoyed by the attentions of a
solitary marksman, who from time to
time sent a bullet unpleasantly close.
At last the general turned to his order
ly-a Pathan ~sowar-and told him -
dismount, take his carbine and try and
stalk the mountaineer. The sowar
started off, and presently there was Il
crack and a gray bearded old Afridi
tumbled headlong down the mountain
side. The sowar %rejoined and fell into
his place.
"Well done." said the general. "Eut
how on earth did you manage it SO
easily?'
"Oh," replied the sowar, Il knew his
habits. He was my father."-London

Druggists Lights.

An apothecary found himself minus
his red light II night ut a time when
it was customary for tradesmen of his
class to ornament their store fronts
with a simple red lamp. To supply his
need he took a glass bottle filled with
a red fluid and placed a candle behind
1t. The effect SO pleased him that he
added another. Rival druggists FLU
minated their windows, increasing the
number Of lights and also changing the
colors. Thus the entire town followed
the lead. So 1t became the fashion.

Fair Weather Friend.

! met a gentleman who seemed
As nice as he could be.
While I could do him any good
He was a friend to me.
But when l wouldn't boost his game
He rose and took his hat
And made himself exceeding scarce.
We've all had friends like that.
He stuck to me like liquid glue
AS long as l would buy,
Laughed at the ancient jokes I old
And doomed me to the sky.
When my resources vanished and
My money ceased to talk.
He folded up his tents and things
And straightway took a walk.
That Is the way too oft. alas,
With some fair weather friends;
They hang around US like a cloak
When We can serve their ends,
But when no longer we produce
As once we used to do
They straightway rise and shake them
selves

Give me the friend who doesn't mak
Too much of a parade,
Blu who is there when you're In need,
A very present aid.
Who comes when you are in the dumps
And no relief can see
And gently says, "Cheer up old a

no time for delay"
The rabbi replied: Thou wouldst
learn the future from me? Alas, I = am
unable to foretell it. God alone can
say what the future will bring forth.
I have no powers of divination. and
my faith forbids the assumption of
them. Pray, therefore, forgive me If l
am unable to accede to thy request"
RABBI" exclaimed the knight in
tones of passion, Il will listen to no
refusal. Well l know that thou canst
foretell the future IL thou wilt. As
truly as l am Godfrey Of Bouillon, SO
truly do I promise to protect thee and
thy community from all harm, even If
