she asked YEARLY.
"No, dear" | answered softly, "but wait

HOW ONE BANK ADVERTISES.

We doubt if larger newspaper ad-
vertisement was ever published than
that contained in a recent copy of the
Schenectady, n. Y, Gazette, which we
have just received. 1t is a statement
by the Schenectady Saving Bank, show
ing every detail of the financial con-
dltion of that institution and covers 10
full pages. In the statement is not
only a list of all the securities held by
the bank, but also the number of the
pasSbook and the amount Of the &C
count of every one of its %, 235 deposi-
tors.
Amy person who has borrowed money
from the Schenectady Savings Bank on
a mortgage knows the number of that
mortgage, as the interest receipts al
ways contain the number. Each person
knowing the amount of their own mort
gage can check it from this list and
there is absolutely no chance of these
securities being wrongly listed. In the
same way every depositor can hunt up
the number of his book in this list and
will find opposite the number the exact
amount of his account as it stood on
the first day of January, 1907. 1t would

Gambling in Pennington.

Leroy E. Weeks was tried before
Judge Locke, Friday, having been
caught the night before permitting
gambling operations to be carried on at
his cafe OH Main street. Several loaf
ers were throwing dice for cigars or
money or some other collateral. Two
or three places have been under the eye
of the officers for some time and it is re-
solved to keep them within the law.
Weeks pleaded guilty and Louis Voter,
Esq, interceded with the court for
leniency on the ground of igno-
rance of the law and first offense
E. E. Richards, ESD, for the State
made the interesting comment that the
offense was about on level with bridge
whist and church lotteries and he was
willing, upon promise by the defendant
to prevent all further repetition of the
offense, to make no insistence for harsh
measures. The judge let Weeks off by
paying costs, amounting to S5.32.-Far-
