The Illinois senatorshin.

Tho entrance of ex-senator William
Il. Mason into the senatorial race in
Illinois against Senator A. J. Hopkins
will add TO the gayety of nations If 1t
accOmplishes nothing else, for Senator
Mason is, like Old King Cole, jolly
old soul
Nothing has happened to show how
President Roosevelt interferes in Re
publican politics more thoroughly than
the happiness expressed by Senator
Mason when he had obtained from
Colonel Roosevelt promise not to
take a hand in the Illinois senatorial
fight. Mason declares that If the pres
ident doesn't butt in he will carry
two-thirds of the counties in the state
or he will quit the race.

A Savings Bank Conducted or
Right Principles.

The Bristol Herald believes that the
Hyde Park Savings Bank is conducted
on right principles and gives its reasons
in the following language:
The Lamoille County Savings Bank
and Trust Co, of Hyde Park is one of
Vermont's banking institutions that is
worthy of increased patronage from the
citizens of the state. Its money is
loaned to residents OF the state to fos-
ter and increase Vermont's institutions
and industries. The fact that it has
just passed the million dollar mark in
assets shows that it is conducted on
right principles. The state needs more
such banks.
This Bank pays Az compounded
semi-annually on deposits of 500 or
more, remaining in the bank one full
year.

dered once in three months At a
meeting of the directors, held in the
afternoon, A. NJ. Brown was elected
president, Harry b. Amey, clerk and
treasurer and }. NJ. Brown, manager.
1t is probable that Messrs. Herman F..

men of excellent ability, experts in their
particular line, will interest themselves
in this company and begin the mannfac-
ture of chairs as soon as possible, with
a purpose in mind to do business of
