A Million Dollars in Assets

There is usually some good reason
for abnormal growth in any business
and it is so with Savings Banks. The
North Troy Palladium seems to think
it has discovered the secret of the
large growth of the Lamoille County
Savings Bank and Trust Company.
1t says:
The Hyde Park savings bank reached a no
table point in its history July II, when for
the first time the assets of the institution
reached the million mark. The master mind
in the affairs OF the bank is that of its presi
dent Carroll s. Page, and to that far
sighted policy and liberal treatment that so
markedly characterizes all his business and
financial dealings, is largely due the great
increase in assets and the success that has
always attended the institution
This bank pays per cent. COM

$500 or more.

Asked For oraveP.

The Hon. John Langley, who comes.
to the next congress as a representa-
tive from Kentucky, used to be ap-
pOintment clerk of the census bureau.
He knew how not to make an appoint
ment when he didn't want to. A story
is told Of an excellent old clergyman
from Pennsylvania who called on
Langley to urge the appointment Of a
young woman from that state. The
appointment clerk talked In such man
ner as to lead the Clergyman to believe
that his young oma would get the
appointment. 1t didn't materialize,
however, and the man of the cloth
asked one Of Langley's subordinates:
"What kind of a man is Mr.. Lang
ley?"
"A good man, l think" was the loyal
reply.
But what is his reputation for truth
and veracity|'
II always understood it to be sound"
"No. He tells me crooked tales. He
told me a fat falsehood."
"There must be some mistake"
mo. there is no mistake. and I told
him he had told me n falsehood."
"And what did he say to that. sir?"
"He put his hands on my shoulders
and said. My good brother, pray for
me. '"-WashingtOn Herald.
