FIFTY RUPEES EASILY MADE.
Tricky Indian Merchant Feared In
qulsltlve Stranger.

An Indian merchant wished to dis
pose of an old elephant and took 1t
to a fair. AS soon as he had arrived
he noticed a man who, without say
ing word, began TO walk round the
animal. examining it attentively on all
sides. The merchant became very
anxious, for he feared the man had
found out that his elephant was not
worth much. He took him aside and
whispered In his ear: Il see a Gus
toner coming. Do not say Q word
until l have sold the beast and l will
give you so rupees" The man looked
at the merchant and wonderingly
complied with his request. 1t hap
pened that the customer had more
money than sense, so that he was
easily taken in. When the bargain
was completed and the elephant led
away by its new owner, the merchant
handed the so rupees to the silent
man, saying: Now, l want you to
tell me how you discovered the defect
in his left leg. l thought l had con-
cealed it so skilfully." Il have dis
covered nothing" replied the stranger.
1T Is the first elephant l have ever
seen, and / wanted to know which
was the head and which was the tail. F"

Bank and Bank Advertising

Gov. Page has so long been the head
This bank was founded on two dis

| advertised for 1t literally.
The reason was that it used good ad-
vertising, treated the papers fairly and
had the confidence Of the people.
| The people had faith in Gov. Page
and his conservative business methods.
There Is no question that the appeal
to Vermonters to put their money into
a bank that invested every dollar in
Vermont has a winner. This was kept
to the front in every advertisement.
Gov. Page deserves to be congratu
lated at the beginning of the New Year
on the success of his bank as we'll as
on the success of his great calf skin in
dustry, that is the largest in the world

Pointer for Husbands,

When you have married your wife,
you would think you were got upon a
hilltop, and might begin to go down
ward by an easy slope. But you have
only ended counting to begin mar
rage. Falling in love and winning
love are often difficult tasks to over
bearing and rebellious spirits; but to
keep in love is also a business of some
to which both man and
wife must bring kindness and good
will. The true love story commences
at the altar, when there lies before
the married pair a most beautiful con-
test of wisdom and generosity, and a
lifelong struggle toward an unattain-
able ideal Unattainable? Aye, surely
unattainable, from the very fact that
they are two instead of one.-R. l..
Stevenson.
