KNIGHTS OF hOAUS
Do some KNOCKING
BuSily Engaged in Mission
They Feel Called Upon
to Perform.

Working under the motto that the
rarest work of God is a modest man,
the Knights of Momus consider them
selves predestined TO perform the work
OF Increasing the visible supply of blush
ing inhabitants in this vale of tears and
Kidding the world Of the type Of self
advertising m9resarios whose csti-
mate of themselves reaches toward ths
clouds
In the performance OF their missiO.
the knights have adopted the unique
method of calling their victims TO their
meetings and then and there Erilling the
visitors from Tevcille TO taps with satire
and irony that fairly scintiliates. In
ancient my thCloSy. Momus was the deity
o. ridiCule and raillery. but in this day
and generation the grand old chap has
been called upon to sponsor what IS
conceded to be one OF the most stren-
nous band Of knockers of modern times.
Sparks Fly From Anvil.

A Safe Savings Bank.

There is every reason to believe that
the Savings Banks of Vermont are all
safe, sound and strong. That the public
so believe is evidenced by the recent re-
port of the Inspector of Banks showing
almost unprecedented gains in deposits
during the past year. If the confidence
in the safety of Vermont Savings Banks,
however, is to be measured by the growth
OF deposits, then unquestionably the
Hyde Park Savings Bank holds the first
place, for its percentage of increase in
deposits. during the three fiscal Years
ending July l, 1910, barring perhaps
some recently established banks upon
which of course a percentage basis of ill.,
crease could not be computed, is more
than that of any other bank in the
state.
Stated in terms that can be under
stood 10y all, the deposits in the Hyde
PARK SdriHgS Bank turing he last three
years have exceeded the Withdrawals by
more than 81 600 for each business day
during the entire three years. We know
Of no parallel anywhere, except in some
OF the large City Banks.
The Hyde Park Bank pays 4 per cent
interest, compounded SEM annually, and
deposits made before November 10th
will draw interest from October lst. 1t
pays the taxes on all deposits up to
$4,000 and the Lamoille County Nation
al Bank of Hyde Park, under the same
management, will accept, upon the
same terms, any sums in excess of this
$4,000.
As evidencing the safety of making
deposits by mail, it may be stated that
IN the more than twenty-one years OF its
existence, not dollar of remittances to
the Hyde Park Savings Bank, 10y mail,
has ever been lost. 1t is entirely safe to
make deposits either by personal check,
bank draft, postal money order, express
order, or cash III registered letter. This
Bank respectfully sollcts your deposits.
If any further information is desired,
send your post office address on Il postal
to either Carol ). Page, President, or

Vermont, aud prompt reply will be
lorthcoming,-News lor and Citizen.

Beaasrs and Bandages.

II was a case in which first aid to
the injured was imperative, but no
one present knew how to extend the
aid. Presently a bandaged beggar
who had been sitting on the curb cast
OF his pretense Of helplessness. Out
Of linen strips provided by the wo-
men in the crowd he fashioned band
ages and applied them skillfully.
''where did you acquire all that skill
in nursing?" a bystander asked.
"It is one OF the first things the men
Of our profession learn" was the can
did response. "Half our success de-
pends upon arrangement of bandages
that makes Us look as If we had been
half killed. No doctor can be depend
ed on TO fix us up, so we have to do

Baboons and Mater.

In Captain Drayson's Sporting
Scenes Among the Kaffirs' We find the
following: WELL" said Kemp, when

much water ! always take my ba-
boom" "You don't drink him, do your"
mo, but make him show me water"
How do you do that?" "In this way:
When water gets scarce l give the
Bavian none. If he does not seem
thirsty rub little salt on his tongue.
l then take him out with long string
or chain. At first 1t was difficult to
make him understand what was want
ed, for he always wished to go back
to the wagons. Now, however, he Is

some distance l let him go. He runs
along a bit, scratches himself, shows
his teeth at me, takes a smell up wind,

smells or eats it, stands up for another
sniff, canters on, and so on. Wherever
the nearest water is there he is sure to

setting of bright star. Among the
explanations offered is one based upon
the optical principle Of complementary

then closes the eyes a green disk will

A Joke on the kinq.

Sir Ernest Cassel was persona grata
with King Edward VII. As a matter
Of fact there was a curious and strik-
ing resemblance between the back
view of the late king and that Of Sir
Ernest. 1t was so pronounced that the
great f1nancier was known among his
friends as "Windsor Castle"
There is good story and true one
told In connection with this. 1t hap

castle A we'll known peer Of the realm
was strolling about when, as he
thought, he spotted Sir Ernest sitting
in chair. Going toward him on tip
toe, he gave him resounding smack
on the shoulder.
"Hello, old Windsor Castlew he cried,
"How are your
The occupant of the chair startled,

who, unaware Of Sir Ernest's nick
name, was for time exceedingly
vexed at this undue liberty. However,
when the circumstances were ex-
planned to him he enjoyed the joke

There have been few commanders so
tyrannous as Lopez, the dictator of
Paraguay, when, in the war of 1S65-70,
it fought single handed the neighbor-
ing countries of Argentina, Brazil and
Uruguay. Lopez, says Mr.. W. II. Kee-
bel in his Argentina" was wont to
carry the theory Of victory or death to
an uncomfortable point. "Officers
We're executed for mere remarks
whose tone fell beneath the standard
Of confidence that Lopez had set up
for himself. One, for instance, was
shot for having announced in the
course of his duty that the enemy was
strongly intrenched! Another met his
end on account of an unguarded
speech to the effect that the Para
guayan army was accustomed to count
the enemy's losses and forget its own"

Standing on the banks of the river
Awberg, between Mallow and Fermoy,
County Cork, Ireland, is a remarkable
edifce known as Johnny Roche's Tow
er." The whole tower was built by
the labor of one man, who subsequent
ly resided in it. This individual, who
received no education whatever, also
erected a mill, constructing the water
wheel after a special design of his own.
Long before the introduction of the
bicycle he went about the country in
wheeled vehicle of his own construc-
ton, propelled by foot power. His last
feat was to build his tomb in the mid
die of the river bed. John Roche died,
but was not inferred in the strange
burying place which he selected for
himself, his less original relatives
deeming such a mode of sepulture un-
christian.-London Strand Magazine.

The Bull Snake,

The bull snake, species Of pine
snake, inhabits the shady pine woods
along the Atlantic coast from New Jer-
sey to Florida, but other species are
found almost everywhere except in
New England. The bull snake is quite
harmless. but Is a powerful construct
or. 1t lays eggs and feeds upon birds,
rodents and eggs. 1t swallows an egg
whole, and after the egg has passed
few inches down the throat-where
1t forms a large swelling-the serpent
lifts its head, elevates its back and
exerts a downward pressure until the
shell breaks. Owing to a curious con-
striction Of its epiglottis its hiss is so
loud and so well sustained as to re-
semble the sound of redhot iron being
plunged in water. The maximum
length Of these snakes is seven and a
half feet. Their color is white, with
the exception of the head and back,
the former being spotted black and the
latter brown.-Wide World Magazine.

Cranch was standing one day In front
of fire in his home at Administer.
Over the fireplace was an oaken man
telpiece, and it occurred to Cranch
that this expanse of wood might be
improved by little ornamcntation.
He picked up the poker, heated it red
hot and began to sketch in bold de-
sign. The result pleased him so much
that he elaborated his work and began
to attempt other fire pictures on pan
els of wood. These met with a ready
sale, and Cranch soon gave all his
time TO his new art. This was the be-
ginning Of what is now known as
