A Two Million Dollar Savings Bank.

In July. 1907, the assets of the La
noble County Savings Bank and Trust
Company of Hyde Park, Vermont,
passed the Million Dollar mark.
On the 31st day of December, 1910,
they passed the Two Million Dollar
mark.
There is probably no parallel for such
a phenomenal growth in the Savings
Banks of any of our Vermont villages,
and we doubt very much if it finds a
parallel in the villages of any other
state.
There can be but one explanation of
this wonderful increase, and that is the
abiding and unlimited confidence OF
the people of Vermont in the absolute
safety of the Hyde Park Savings Bank.
And why should not the depositing
public feel safe with reference to their
deposits in this Bank9 They know
that in the twenty-five years of its ex-
istence, the management has been so
conservative, so painstaking and so
careful, that not single dollar has
been lost by poor note in all these
years.
The fact that no depositor has ever
lost dollar in sending money by mail
to this bank is practical guarantee of
the absolute safety of banking by
mail, if sent either by Postal Money
Order, Express Money Order, Personal
Check, Bank Check or Registered Let
ter.
The Bank pays per cent interest,
compounds semi annually and solicits a
continuance of the confidence so gen.
erously extended during the past
twenty-five years.

A Physician to Mankind.
(Pittsfeld Journal.)

The impress made by DR.. 0. S. Roberts
as a man and a physician will long re-
main. He was kindly gentleman, quiet,
sympathetic, scholarly and equipped by
nature to be physician to mankind. His
presence lent confidence in sick room,
his method was while there is life there
is hope" his indefatigable efforts, his won
derful resourcefuness gave him high DO
sition. As counselor he had county
wide fame, as family physician he lived
to attend the children's children of his
early patients. The gentleness in his ma
ture, the sweetness of life well lived,
his efforts for humanity and his charity
and good deeds cannot die.

COURT
IS REVERSED

The appeal of Henry St. John Ma
haolelua ct al, VS.. H. A. Heen on
exceptions from the circuit court was
decided by the supreme court yes
terday AFTERNOON, Judge De Bolt
writing the decision, in which he sus-
tanned the exceptions, set aside the
decision and Judgment, and granted
a new trial.
This was an action to quiet title
TO land at Kamakela, Honolulu, in
which the plaintiffs claimed an I'M
divided half-inteTest in fee simple,
it being conceded that the defendant
was the owner of the other undivided
half-interest. The circuit court gave
a decision in favor of the defendant.
The decision raised an interesting
point regarding an estate tail. The
court said that the technical language
to create an estate tail was to limit
the estate to a man and the heirs
of his body. The phrase, "the heirs
of her body" meaning Elizabeth Ka.
hele, were the appropriate words to
create an estate tail, but an estate
tail could not be created in this Ter
ritory. The court considered that the
deed of September 10, 1873, would
be most nearly carried out by hold
ing that Elizabeth should take life
estate, with remainder in fee simple
to the plaintiffs, the heirs of her
body" This view gave effect as
nearly as possible to those formal
parts of the deed, usually regarded
as being sufficient, under the law, to
pass title.
With regard to the statute of limit
atoms, which the defendant sought
to interpose, should it be held that
the plaintiffs took a fee simple, the
court said that it was clear that the
statute did not apply, because the
plaintiffs were not entitled to posses
