a Safe Savings Bank.

There Is every reason to believe that
the Savings Banks of Vermont are all
safe, sound aud strong. That the public
so believe is evidenced by the recent re-
port of the Inspector of Banks showing
almost unprecedented gains in deposits

of deposits, then unquestionably the
Hyde Park Savings Bank holds the first
place, for its percentage OF increase ia

The Gold Dust Was There.

North America has counted as gold
producing continent only since the late
forties. But it might well have done
80 for about 200 years. According to
the London Chronicle. in the voyage
round the world which began in 1719
the privateer Captain Shelvocke found
in certain California valleys "a rich
black mold which, as you turn 1t fresh
up to the sun, appears as If inter-
mingled with gold dust. Though we
were a little prejudiced," he adds.
against the thought that 1t could be
possible that this metal should be so
promiscususly and universally mingled
with common earth, yet we endeavor-
ed to cleanse and wash the earth from
some of 1t. and the more we did the
more It appeared like gold. In order
to be further satisfied | brought away
some of 1t, which we lost in our con-
fusion in China"

A TARCOOLER FUNERAL.
Wood Was Scare, but They Managed
to Rig Up a Coffin

to Rig Up Coffin
In some of the mining districts Of
South Australia there is a great scar
city of wood. Consequently, if you are
so foolish as to die there you must not
expect to have a coffin, but must be
content to be wrapped in sack before
being deposited in Mother Earth.
However, when certain very prom.
inent resident of mining camp died
the other people Of the settlement-by
the way, it was called Tarcooler,
though GOODNESS was unknown and
Tarhotter would have been a more
suitable name-determined that he
should be buried in style. So they set
about getting a coffin They made one
of sort, placed lid on 1t and laid it
with the deceased inside) in an empty
tent for the night.
Next morning the lid of the coffin
was missing. 1t was afterward found
that it had been stolen to make the
tailboard of butchers cart.
However, in spite of this trifling loss
the funeral was conducted with great
solemnity. The coffin was much ad-
mired. 1t had been made out of the
boxes in which the dynamite was sent
to the mines. Some people might have
considered that the obsequies were
marred by the fact that the coffin bore
in large letters on one side the legend
Keep dry" and on the other "Stow
away from boilers" but that did not
trouble the simple minds of the Tar
cool'uns.-London Tit-Bits.

SliuhtIY Mixed.

He wasn't good at conundrums, but
when his turn came to ask one at a
little social party he thought he could
remember good one he had heard. 1t
was the old riddle:
"Why is woman like the ivyT
The answer, of course. is the gallant
explanation:
Because the more you're ruined the
closer she sticks"
But he got it mixed and asked:
''Why Is the ivy like woman?"
None of the ladies present could give
an appropriate reply. so he himself
ventured this maladroit solution:
Because the closer it clings the
more you're ruined"

MILLIONAIRE KENT
WOULD DIVIDE MARIN

nicipaI Corporation
Especial Dispatch TO The Cain

SAN RAFAEL May I5.-Millionaire
William Kent of Kentfield is advocat-
ing the formation of a municipal cor
pofatlon TO embrace the suburban dis
trict on this side of the bav known
as southern Marin. In an open letter
he points out that there is a wide dir
ference of interests between the aeri-
cultural and dairy portion of Marin
county in the north and the suburban
territory and declares that the latter
section has outgrown the loose form
of county government which now ex-
lists.
Kent would include in the suburban
municipality all the country south of
an imaginary line drawn from Whites
hill above Fairfax to the Pacific ocean
back of Bolinas bay. Some of Kent,s
reasons for the plan are to provide and
maintain good roads; to organize sani-
tation; to protect forest areas from
fire; to police the rural territory. to
provide for future consolidation of
water supplies on Mount Tamalpais
to provide coherent school system and
an adequate number of high schools.
Backed by other well known resi-
dents of the county, Kent pronoses q
charter convention to submit to the
state legislature the form of charter
required and the election of commits
sioners to perfect the details of the
plan

INDEPENDENTS GIVEN
MUCH STEEL WORK
10000 Tons Ordered, Mainly
for Structural Purposes

NEW YORK, May 15.-It is signifi-
cant that although the railroads placed
few orders for bridges last week, con-
tracts for structural and fabricated
steel We're heavy, aggregating 10000
tons. The Steel corporation secured
only about $500 tons of the total, los
ing the business to independent com
panies because of the inability of the
Carnegie steel company to supply the
American bridge company with struc-
tural shapes under two months, while
competitors are making deliveries in
a few weeks.
There has been active competition
among independent factories and struc-
turaI mills for business, and prices
have continued low, especially in the
eastern territory.
Railroads are giving small support
to the steel mills directly but includ-
ing mining cars and part of the Har-
riman purchases contracts were placed
last week for $500 cars. Locomotive
orders aggregated 10s. Rail contracts
were only 10000 tons.
